NBC News dehumanizing Christians

Image
NBC News is doing a full-court press against pro-family organizations, with three smear pieces in the last three weeks of 2020. These stories aim to eliminate pro-family groups from polite society and routine business transactions. Even worse, these NBC News stories are scapegoating and marginalizing Christians. We are to blame, you see, for all the troubles in our troubled world. The SPLC “Hate List” First up: on December 9, NBC News published a story cataloging 14 organizations on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate List” that received Paycheck Protection Program forgivable loans. (Full disclosure: the Ruth Institute, which I head, is one of the 14.) The Paycheck Protection Program was designed to provide relief to small businesses affected by the government-imposed coronavirus lockdowns. The NBC article quoted experts who mused aloud about whether the government should forgive Paycheck Protection Program loans to these “hate groups.” These experts were “troubled” by “extremist g

Australia: Politician Eric Abetz denies suggesting gays can become straight

Senator Eric Abetz has stated clearly that homosexuals can become straight, during a TV interview. Asked by Samantha Maiden on Sky News on Tuesday if, “do you personally believe that gays and lesbians can pull up their bootstraps and show a bit of discipline and become heterosexuals . Do you actually think they can stop being who they are in some way?,”  Senator Abetz said: “The reality is, and evidence has been given to Senate Committees , where people that have been in gay relationships have gone into heterosexual relationships and I believe that can happen courtesy of the evidence."  Senator is not talking specifically about a small number bi-sexual people who are driven by confusion and possibily lust, but those who have testified that they no longer are homosexual and return to heterosexuality. The media seems to have convinced itself this is not possible. The reason why, is because it undermines the whole homosexual equality marriage argument because it become

NEW YORK CITY, March 10, 2014 – The Archdiocese of New York has told LifeSiteNews that Cardinal Timothy Dolan's decision to congratulate a homosexual football player for coming out of the closet did not mean the cardinal “was unconcerned about Church teaching on homosexual activity.” During an interview Sunday on NBC's " Meet the Press " focusing on the "Francis effect" in the Church, host David Gregory asked the cardinal about the decision of Michael Sam, a 24-year-old senior at the University of Missouri and defensive end, to announce that he is a homosexual. “Good for him,” Cardinal Dolan replied. “I would have no sense of judgment on him. God bless ya.” He added that “the same Bible that tells us, that teaches us about the virtues of chastity and the virtue of fidelity and marriage also tells us not to judge people. So, I would say, ‘Bravo.'” The cardinal's reaction was more exuberant than that of Michael Sam Sr., the player

A man and woman, who wished to remain anonymous, contacted  New York's NBC 4  to say not only did they not write the message, but they actually left the waitress a tip. Earlier this month former Marine Dayna Morales said she served a rude couple at the Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater, New Jersey . Dayna Morales Instead of a tip, she said the family wrote, "I'm sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and how you live your life." Morales posted a picture of the check on the  "Have A Gay Day"  Facebook page. (The entry has since been removed.) “I am THOROUGHLY offended, mad, p---ed off and hurt that THIS is what her kids will grow up learning and that I serve
