If you want to read something disturbing, take a look at how much dough the right wing is raking in. For some perspective, consider that the richest gay group, the Human Rights Campaign, only brings in 20 million per year. This money is raised on the backs of gay families and then used for further gay bashing.

Church & State magazine lists the Top 10 Neo-Puritan groups.

well, consider this that gays are a minority. for the gay population of america to raise this kind of money then each person must more than triple their donations and contributions to have a significant impact.

And those are just base figures, not counting the dozens of sweetheart deals and subsidiary operations on the side. Publications and Royalties aren't counted. Robertson doesn't get a salary, but lives off roylaties, accounted separately. His home and transportation are free also, accounted separately. He also has huge personal investments in diamond mines in Africa, which are internationally infamous for their brutality toward workers, but he snuggles up to their despot rulers, loaning them the CBN jet on occasion.
I'd better get off my soapbox now.

oh yeah, robertson is unashamed of his poor ethics and situational christianity.

We do reasonably well for ourselves considering we are only about 4-6% of the population, and most glbts probably contribute little or nothing to gay rights organizations. The religious right may be a Goliath, but we're David and have the fabulous gym bods to prove it, while Clitus and Charlene go for a second helping of bacon and donuts.

Hammer Storage, a division of Bell Microproducts, has released a new line of network storage devices based on Zetera’s Z-SAN SoIP (Storage-over-IP) technology. The storage devices are 4-bay configurations, which are available as either desktop (Z-Box Model HZD4B) or 1U rackmount (Z-Rack Model HZR1U) enclosures. Targeted at the small to medium-sized business storage market, the Z-Series line offers an economical approach to SAN storage. IP is the only storage fabric used, eliminating the requirement for host bus adapters, TCP offload engines, dedicated switches, and RAID controllers. china wholesale discount MP3 player MP4 player mp4 watches wedding dresses wedding dress psp accessories wholesale digital cameras wholesale clothing wholesale furniture wow gold world of warcraft gold buy wow gold cheap wow gold wow power leveling wow powerleveling wow gold world of warcraft gold buy wow gold cheap wow gold wow power leveling wow powerleveling wow gold world of warcraft gold buy wow gold cheap wow gold wow power leveling wow powerlevelingThe Z-SAN architecture affords solution providers an inexpensive, fast, scalable storage alternative.
