California Assemblyman Calls Evangelical Youth "Loud ... Obnoxious ... Disgusting"

(Hat tip: Amy Welborn)

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

More than 25,000 evangelical Christian youth landed Friday in San Francisco for a two-day rally at AT&T Park against "the virtue terrorism" of popular culture, and they were greeted by an official city condemnation and a clutch of protesters who said their event amounted to a "fascist mega-pep rally."

"Battle Cry for a Generation" is led by a 44-year-old Concord native, Ron Luce, who wants "God's instruction book" to guide young people away from the corrupting influence of popular culture.

Luce, whose Teen Mania organization is based in Texas, kicked off a three-city "reverse rebellion" tour Friday night intended to counter a popular culture that he says glamorizes violence and sex. The $55 advance tickets for two days of musical performances and speeches were sold out, but walk-up admission was available for $199.

That's bad news to Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who told counterprotesters at City Hall on Friday that while such fundamentalists may be small in number, "they're loud, they're obnoxious, they're disgusting, and they should get out of San Francisco."

My Comments:
The aging left can't stand to see young people taking a stand for faith and for traditional values. They see the writing on the wall.

And unfortunately for Assemblyman Leno, there are far more of these "fundamentalists" (read: practicing Christians) than he'd like to admit. You see, their parents aren't aborting them at the same rate as the left kills off their offspring.
