American Family Association issues director Bryan Fischer is what we in the blogging business like to call a “generalist.” In just the last year, he’s called for the public stoning of a killer whale, labeled grizzly bears an existential threat to America, warned that the Congressional Medal of Honor has been “feminized,” and suggested that all Muslims be deported. Take any topic, no matter how remote, and Fischer will manage to find a hidden message of impending doom.
Now, in what amounts to a stay of execution for America’s wildlife, Fischer has broken his lengthy silence on the subject of Utah high school girls basketball. Last week, Christian Heritage Academy edged West Ridge (a school for at-risk youth), 108-3, prompting some folks to suggest, somewhat delicately, that a 105-point victory might be a little much. Bryan Fischer is not one of those people, and he has dedicated an entire column to making his case.
As Fischer explained, “If it’s a choice between grizzlies and humans, the grizzlies have got to go“ running up the score is the Christian thing to do. “[I]t’s an insult to an opponent not to give your best effort just because you’re sitting on a huge lead. Your opponents deserve the respect of facing the best you have to offer, and it’s up to them to rise to the challenge.” Christian Heritage, Fischer says, “should be praised not condemned.”
So there you go: Bryan Fischer has weighed in. And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming about how anti-discrimination laws turn housing complexes into “hunting grounds” for gay people.
