I am an occasional patron of adequacy.net, a pretty darn good (in my opinion) music review site. Every once in a while my finger slips and I type adequacy.org which is a now defunct, militantly right wing site for parents with those views. I find people who endlessly quote Bushisms tedious---we all know he's not a good public speaker by now---and people who make fun of the right wing excessively even more so, since there are many compassionate conservatives out there and it doesn't seem fair to put them all under the "Rush Limbaugh" category. HOWEVER, my little eye led me astray and err, well, I thought this was amusing:

"...So there we see that Goths are extremely subversive. Not content with Vampirism, blood sucking and worshipping Satan by proxy, they insist on proselytising and attacking all free thinkers and lovers of Jesus. The question is, what can be done to stop them? Simple:

* Wearing of black banned in all schools. Goths prey upon the young and weak - no right thinking adult would become a Goth, so they depend on hoodwinking immature minds to spread their deviant, dangerous creed. Like Scots with Tartan, or Jews with skullcaps, it is well known that stomping out the clothing of the creed harms the creed itself. We must fight fire with fire - we must not lose the raging battle for the minds of our children.
* More Christian education in schools. The fact that these demonic ways of thinking are spreading among adolescents is entirely due to the lack of proper religious education in schools. Beelzebub, through his high school intermediaries, is filling the gap and turning the minds of our children to poison.
* All people suspected of being goths should have their bloodcounts regularly measured. If there is a shortfall, clearly they must be participating in Vampiric and Goth-like behaviour, in which case they can be sent to a place of Christian re-education.
* No cliques allowed in schools. If we look at high school 'jocks' we can see that they provide a wonderful role model for our children. We should elevate them to a position above other children and encourage all children to be like them.
* Ban long hair. It is well known that long hair is not Christian. No followers of Jesus ever had long hair, so all those with collar length or longer hair are under suspicion. All schools should insist in properly cropped hair, except for girls, for whom the converse applies.
* Goth music, like the Sisters of Mercy, the Cure, and so on must be completely stamped out. We should encourage decent Godly music, like 'Yesterday' by Paul McCartney or Handel's Messiah. It has been shown that the music Goths listen to promotes depression and antisocial behaviour.
* Earpiercings, tatoos etc banned. Another hallmark of the Goth is bodily modification. This is because they don't respect the body God gave them, and eventually they hate it. So they seek to 'improve' it with beastly decorations and implants. This must be stopped so we can have a reasonable, whole society again."

*chuckles* ...Wow. Check out the site some time if you're bored. There's a forum entitled "Liberal Myths."
