Online Gambling Only Part of Religious Fascism as Jolie is Target
Focus on the Family, an evangelical religious group that advocates dictating personal choices and limiting freedom, is not stopping at denying US residents the right to choose whether to play at online gambling sites. The new target of the fascists is movie star Angelina Jolie and her parenting of her children.Specifically, Focus and its representatives thought it appropriate to comment on Jolie's decision to trim the hair of her three-year-old daughter Shiloh. Despite the toddler's evident feminine appearance, Focus officials felt it necessary to intervene before Angelina somehow forced gayness on the child.
“It’s important to teach our children that gender distinction is very healthy,” said Glenn Stanton of Focus in a "Life and Style" article that clearly was desperately trying to exploit the hunger of tabloid readers for news on the US's most attractive mom. No word was released on whether Glenn is male or female.
"“The length of Shiloh's hair or the clothes she wears are really matters for her and her parents to decide," replied an expert on gender in child rearing. “What's important here is that every child, including Shiloh, has the opportunity to express herself and explore her world in a way that is safe and nurturing for her. "
Angelina Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, are known for their humanitarian work around the globe, including her receiving the first Citizen of the World Award presented by the United Nations Correspondents Association and the Freedom Award given by the International Rescue Committee. Focus on the Family is noted for using faith to bilk millions from poor, misguided followers.
No mention was made by Focus representatives on the damage done to children brainwashed into believing literal interpretations of ancient fables, even to the point of using violence and hatred to forcibly inflict those views on others.
Focus has been a noted leader in the movement to prevent US residents from exercising their freedom to patronize Internet gambling sites. This is often defended as being for citizens' own good, as Focus officials know what is best not only for them but everyone else as well... kind of like Osama bin Laden.
