The GOP’s Loser Caucus endorses gay 'marriage

Image
Analysis WASHINGTON, D.C., March 15, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Reporters in the liberal media had a rare fit of bipartisanship recently when they learned some Republicans had signed a brief with the Supreme Court supporting same-sex “marriage.” A veritable avalanche of stories proclaimed this tiny group the new chiefs of the Republican Party. USA Today  gushed,  “Top Republicans urge court to support gay marriage.”   U.S. News and World Report   dubbed them  “ Republican leaders.”  The San Jose  Mercury News  claimed Meg Whitman and “other conservatives”  now support redefining marriage. Even the  Daily Caller  wrote,  “Prominent conservatives defend gay marriage before Supreme Court.” As with most events they cover, the mainstream media are not telling the full story about these gallant GOP giants. I'll say something no other reporter or columnist will say about these socially liberal politicians: They're losers. I don't mean that as a pejorative – I mean

After ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ repeal, Senate urged to protect military’s religious freedoms

WASHINGTON, D.C. , December 17, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Religious liber ties activists are calling on the U.S. Senate to amend the Defense Authorization Bill to include language protecting military service members from retribution for their religious beliefs.  Of primary concern is the need to secure protections for chaplains and service members from facing discrimination, investigations and possibly career-ending reprimands in response to deeply held religious convictions pertaining to homosexuality and same-sex “marriage.”  Will military chaplains face repercussions for holding to their moral beliefs on homosexuality and gay "marriage"? Dr. Richard Land says that may already be happening. In September 2011, the U.S. repealed the law known as “Don’t ask, don’t tell,” enabling homosexuals to serve openly in all branches of the military for the first time. Within weeks, the Pentagon issued two memos authorizing same-sex “marriages” to be solemnized on U.

Religious liberty threatened by Homosexual Activism

Last May, the first same-sex marriage ceremony ever held on a U.S. Military installation was performed at Fort Polk, Louisiana . Although it wasn't legally valid, it created quite an uproar . . . and violated federal law. In response, the House of Representatives passed the following language as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): A military installation or other property owned or rented by, or otherwise under the jurisdiction or control of, the Department of Defense, may not be used to officiate, solemnize, or perform a marriage or marriage-like ceremony involving anything other than the union of one man with one woman. Senators Roger Wicker and James Inhofe have introduced these provisions in the Senate as a stand-alone bill, the "Military Religious Freedom Act of 2012," but the Senate leadership has blocked their efforts every step of the way. But even if the Senate never votes on the Wicker/Inhofe bill, we can still protect the Defen

Deutsch: Joe Biden und Barack Obama in Springfield (Illinois), gleich nachdem Biden formell durch Obama als Kandidat für die Vizepräsidentschaft vorgestellt wurde English: Joe Biden und Barack Obama in Springfield, Illinois, right after Biden was formerly introduced by Obama as his running mate (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) President Obama has now made the definition of marriage a defining issue in the presidential contest, especially in swing states like Ohio, North Carolina , Virginia, Florida and Nevada.. His administration is already trying to dismantle the nation's marriage laws by refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court. All the state marriage amendments and laws are at risk under a president who actively wants to change the definition of marriage. NOM will work ceaselessly in these swing states and across the nation to preserve traditional marriage because it is profoundly in the public good to do so. God is the author of marriage, and we will not let an ac

Image via Wikipedia WASHINGTON, D.C. , - One of America ’s most seasoned war generals expressed frustration at the silence of Christian churches as the U.S. military’s ban on open homosexuality fell to a repeal effort earlier this year. Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin described at the Values Voter Summit on Saturday the exasperation of pro-family leaders in Washington who found themselves abandoned by church leaders unwilling to make a stand for the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Boykin, who spent the majority of his career in the Special Forces, was mission commander of the battle portrayed in the Hollywood movie “Black Hawk Down,” and accepted the surrender of Panama military dictator Manuel Noriega in 1989.

According to Boykin, “nobody in this country fought a greater fight” against normalizing homosexuality in the military than Family Research Council President Tony Perkins , himself a former Marine who joi
