so there's a "devout" Christian lawyer out of Orange County who wants to put a measure on the ballot..the ballot advocates killing gays..it's a anti-sodomite initiative..Matthew G. McLaughlin is the devout Christian lawyer...
The measure also bans sodomites from holding public office and outlaws "spreading sodomite propaganda," or advocating gay rights
well I support it and while we're at it we can add dog owners who don't pick up after their pets..kapow!! and rich people..I could whack Wendy..BLAM!! and DUI lawyers and pack bike riders..mow 'em all down!!
let's get rid of these troublemakers!
and speaking of devout Christians, a letter to the editor caught my eye in Sunday's News-Press....it was by a gal named Sandee Beckers..the name rang a bell..and she says she's President of the Rescue Mission Women's Auxiliary....

and speaking of devout Christians, a letter to the editor caught my eye in Sunday's News-Press....it was by a gal named Sandee Beckers..the name rang a bell..and she says she's President of the Rescue Mission Women's Auxiliary....
the tone of the letter seemed out of place for the Rescue Mission because it was political..blasting gov't programs for the down and out but praising the Rescue Mission for not taking any gov't money...
"care is given by an exceptional staff, most of whom have been there and bear witness to the fact that God's love can rebuild lives and transform even the most desperate circumstances"
ok, that's fine..God's Love and blah blah blah....
now, fifteen years ago or so, UCSB had an exceptional two-year extension program for Counseling Skills Certificate..Drug and Alcohol Counseling and many of the folks attending and getting certified went on to do work for the Rescue Mission...there was nothing political about it...
but with Sandee's letter, perhaps something has happened to the Rescue Mission...perhaps they have been taken over by rightwing teabeggers...
for FYE 2013, the Charity Navigator listed some interesting numbers...
Contributions, Gifts , Grants $1,696,194
TOTAL REVENUE $2,310,647
Excess (or Deficit) for the year $-69,458
and the overall rating is low at 78%.....other similar chartities listed had rating in the 80 and 90 percentile..the Rescue Mission scored 70% on financials......
hmmmm....
ok so this Sandee Beckers is indeed an anti-govt' teabagger Christian and has no business doing anything political on behalf of the Rescue Mission...or she could damage the non-profit status...but I guess she couldn't help herself....
Sandee Beckers was also a big promoter of the discriminatory YES on 8 bill in California a few years back..no marriage for gays....
in other words, she'a bigot! these Christians are a sub-cult not to be confused with Catholics...
Beckers was a director of the California Family Council involved in rightwing politics: CFC is a 501(c)(3). It's precisely because of the legal restrictions on the scope of 501(c)(3) activities that the CFC was required to set up the 501(c)(4) called California Renewal.
"With California Renewal now suspended, I have no idea how or why the CFC crew is being allowed to continue advocating for Prop 8. That they do continue to advocate - and apparently have no intention of making things right of their own accord - demonstrates their unseemly lack of regard for the state of California and its laws."
and Sandee Beckers is against public education, instead favoring and promoting ignorance!!!

ok so Sandee Beckers is the President of the Rescue Mission Women's Auxiliary.....they spend all their time raising money by asking you to give stocks, praying and other stuff...and Sandee says they don't take any gov't money...so the grants must be from charitible trusts...
and check out the creepy "gift" page..professional begging
http://sbrmgift.org/
well... the Rescue Mission Women's Aux needs to remove Sandee Beckers and keep politics out of the mission.. I DEMAND SANDEE BECKERS BE FIRED!!
they are tax-exempt, yet they want donations from tax payers..the tax payers give them money for salaries, programs and fundraising expenses...and the spinning wheel goes round and round...why don't they just call themselves a church? geez, sounds like scam..a social club for weird old Christian gals...
devout Christians=religious fanatics=mentally unstable...
that's enough to sober anybody up

Yet another example of the kind of progressive, forward-thinking person the Santa Barbara News-Press caters to as part of its readership. The kind of bible-thumping bigots who see women studies professors as "porn professors," and was to run "illegals" out of town on a rail, in other words: "good Christian women" circa Arkansas 1953, the one's who sewed bedsheets for the husband's necktie parties. The Santa Barbara News Gazette.
Oh Sandee has been around for a while. She's our own cornball Joni Ernst type. I think she is part of that Beckers couple that lived in Hope Ranch back in the 90s. He'd write nutty all hetero editorials and she wrote nutty right wing conspiracy editorials about lefties and fiscal responsibilty b.s. but actually got herself elected to the school board. I think his last editorial was a self pitying tear jerker, about his bro dying of aids. Republicans have always had these nutty types amongst their ranks and often get themselves in as 'reasonable' 'stealth' candidates on spooky issues like aliens, homosexuals, unions and bulbouts, etc. Shame that Santa Bee should fall behind because of these nutters. They're a big drain on progress. Now we have three on the council with Rowse, Francisco and Hotchkiss. Almost had Byrne, a very active stealthy nut. Self is now as nutty as ever, happy to just sit in the park playing solatere while smoking cigarettes and probably between posting anon comments over at the indy.
