Queer Visalia - A local gay blog

I just realized that I have no idea whether or not Mark Morford’s writing appears in the print edition of the SF Chronicle. If it doesn’t, that’s quite sad for the 8 or 9 people who don’t have access to the Internets.

It is the end of the nutball Christian right. Here is your proof. To go.

Hey, remember the angry evangelicals? The quivering clan of militant Christoholics who propelled Bush into office and seized the national narrative for a few terrifying moments about five years back, ran deep into the woods with it and rubbed it all over their naughty bits in a frenzy of fear and confusion and lust for all things homophobic and saccharine and spiritually denigrating?

Dying. Nearly dead. Gasping their last. Very soon to be a footnote, a caricature, a gag, a punch line, blasted to the dustbin of history like dried housefly limbs after a sneeze. You should know this now.

I’ll observe, borrowing from Mark Twain, that reports of this movement’s death are greatly exaggerated. At least they have been in the past. Mr. Morford makes and supports the very interesting assertion that capitalism itself may be defusing the wingnuts’ “message”. Go read it. It’s hilarious.
