Wait...what?

Reality television star Josh Duggar believes Christians should enjoy a special right to discriminate against LGBT people or be made victims of discrimination themselves.

The star of TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting,” who works for the anti-gay hate group Family Research Council, said Christians were being forced into silence on social issues such as same-sex marriage, reported CNS News.

“Right now in America there is an agenda to silence people of faith, those who hold a dissenting opinion,” Duggar said. “That’s not what America was founded on. America was founded on respect, tolerance, and really not discriminating against people based on their religious convictions.”

Raw Story points out Duggar is saying he believes a court ruling affirming marriage equality would be discriminatory against Christians who want to discriminate against LGBT people.

uhhh...

3. When you've been homeschooled by the Duggar parents, you're going to have a head full of

batshit crazy irrationality, and bigotry. You really need a sane teacher to counter the BS they spout.

4. Here are some other similar victims of discrimination.

5. It always seemed strange..

to this mindset, burning the American flag is a terrible desecration, but they'll burn the instrument of torture and death that is the very sacred symbol of their religion.
This has to be an 100% American ritual; homegrown, like Mormonism and Scientology.

7. According to the KKK...

The burning cross symbolizes "bringing the light of Christ to the world."

Also, Scottish non-K clans used a burning cross to signal meetings. Or so I was told.

I grew up in a Kluxer area. They used to hold their rallies at a car racing track nearby.

Those idiots got the most attention for attacking blacks. But at least in my part of the South, they were also famous for attacking union organizers. Along with "trashy" white folks.

And good luck reporting their vigilante attacks to the local law. They were usually members.

10. My mom had a Jewish friend who lived in the south,

and had a cross burned in front of her house. I think it was Mississippi. This was in the fifties. Guess the Christians love the Jews now because Israel..

6. Everything about this clan is revolting

8. I would expect no less.

This Christian persecution complex that they have is becoming an epidemic that needs a cure.

9. My sister has been going apeshit on Facebook over the Duggars and this shit.

As shocking as it seems in black and white, we all have run into this fucked up mindset in life AND on DU.

We're CLEARLY bigots for trying to stop their bigotry and misogyny.
