Hate and Gary Bauer

Gary Bauer is one of Jame's Dobson's former acolytes. He served in the Reagan administration, first as Undersecretary of Education, then as Reagan's chief domestic policy advisor. Bauer was instrumental in preventing the Reagan administration from responding to the AIDS epidemic. In 1988, Bauer left the White House and took the helm at Dobson's Washington D.C.lobbying group Family Research Council. Under Bauer, the FRC expanded explosively and became one of the leading national religious right think tanks. In 1991, Bauer served as chair of the "Citizens Committee to Confirm Clarence Thomas", helping a jurisprudential imbecile, liar under oath and sexual predator to a lifetime appointment to the highest court of the land.

Bauer left FRC in 1999 to run for president. When his primary campaign had failed, as expected, in early 2000, he made the tactical mistake of supporting McCain instead of Bush, damaging his extreme-right credentials. He still serves as chairman of his PAC, the Campaign for Working Families.

No christian culture warrior is complete without his own little "think" tank - that's what Gary Bauer must have thought when he lost the "Family Research" Council. He now presides over a group that he founded some years ago, American Values, but which until recently only existed on paper.

Bauer Continues To Serve Causes (6/27/2000 article)

Five Questions that ex-candidate Gary Bauer should have been asked on the campaign trail:

1. If you are unconditionally pro-life, why do you also support the death penality?

2. As president, you will allow state facilities to post the ten commandments. Will you also allow the holy laws of every other world religion and sect to be posted in state facilities?

3. You say that you oppose "special rights" on the basis of sexual preference. Does that mean that you fully support equal rights for gays and lesbians?

4. Since you strongly support religious liberty, do you support the right of U.S. army servicememembers who belong to the Wiccan religion to freely express their faith?

5. If you become president, you will prosecute the manifacturers of pornography on the ground that "pornography is an attack on women and children". Does that mean that you are proposing an exception for gay male pornography?
