Blogger Blue Arkansas reports 1st District congressional candidate Tim Wooldridge’s leadership role in a group, the Families First Foundation, one of whose controlling purposes is to be anti-homosexual. (Tim Wooldridge’s values credentials also include his famous legislation calling for public hangings.) From Families First:

Are Christians guilty of discrimination because of a refusal to tolerate homosexuality? No. There is a difference is wise, informed discrimination and prejudice! Discrimination against what is bad is necessary for the preservation of good. Did past cultures that practiced discrimination know something the current culture should learn? Unless truth has surfaced to discount the social policies of the past, then a similar discrimination against homosexuality and for heterosexuality appears needful for the social good.

Wise discrimination is not prejudice. Nice.
