Where are you, Senator
Joseph Lieberman? According to a recent government report, the government illegally discriminated against religious organizations and did not fund their social efforts. "Where is Senator Joseph Lieberman?" asked Rabbi Eidensohn, director of the National Non-Sectarian Council of Pro-Family Activists. "He is the point man to protect homosexuals from discrimination, and he claims to be religious. Why does he not speak out when religious groups suffer from government discrimination?" Rabbi Eidensohn decried the lack of any outcry from the "anti-bigotry" elements on Capitol Hill. "This sends a clear message," said the rabbi. "If you discriminate against gays, that is wrong. If you discriminate against religious people, that is okay." Rabbi Eidensohn decried the obvious double standard. "The silence of Senator Lieberman is an intolerable affront to those who fear for their rights, the biblical and religious community," said Rabbi Eidensohn. "We are not untermenshen (lower humans) and those who refuse to recognize bigotry against us show that we are." Rabbi Eidensohn said that the constant hissing and name-calling by the Gay Lobby has produced an atmosphere whereby religious people are marginalized. # # # |
