Republican Colorado state Rep. Gordon James Klingenschmitt accused the U.S. government of cooperating with demonic spirits this week after the Supreme Court refused to overturn a ban on so-called “cures” for homosexuality…
On his Monday Pray in Jesus Name broadcast, Klingenschmitt argued that Christian psychotherapists had been stripped of their “free speech rights” because they could no longer use reparative therapy…to heal the homosexual of the sinful addiction,” Klingenschmitt explained. “And yet, there is a demonic spirit inside of the addict that is controlling their voluntary choices or, at least, has contracted with them and is manifesting through them in this sinful addiction.”
“What the lower court judges are doing is they are cooperating with the demonic spirit inside of the homosexual addict, and those judges are now reinforcing the sin,” he insisted. “That’s what these bad judges have done.”
Reflect for a moment on the number of Looney Tunes-voters who showed up to elect a nutball like this. Even in the sort of low turnout elections today’s make-believe Republicans plan for and plot to control – no different from Boss Tweed or Mayor Daley in their own corrupt histories..

I don’t especially care that this creep calls himself a Christian or that the ideology, the rationale he uses for actionable politics is associated with a religion – or not. What he represents is evil in action. He is part of, a spokesman for, a political movement that would deny equal opportunity to a segment of our society.
It doesn’t matter which part of life and living he denies. We are a constitutional republic guided by democratic choice. Regardless of reforms needed to keep pricks like this scumbag from denying egalitarian rights, this remains a nation founded upon equal opportunity. Yes, even though some of the candyass liberals among our founding father caved in to slave owners – to get the damned project off the ground.
Denial of rights, closing off opportunity is evil, criminal, not worthy of sustenance. Those who join this kind of political action are as dangerous, as criminal, equally guilty.
“One of the saddest spectacles of our times is the effort of hidebound theologians, still desperately trying to chain us to the past–in other forms that would still invoke the inquisitions, the fears, and the bigotries of the dark ages, and keep the world in chains. The chains of lies, hypocrisies, taboos, and the superstitions, fostered by the dying, but still the organized, relentless outworn theology of another age. They refuse to see that in their stupid lust for power they are endangering all that is good.”
