A NYT newspaper tries to bully Americans

Image
There has perhaps never been a media outlet more of a mouthpiece for the far-left 's assault on American values than the New York Times . They have championed the sexual revolution , cheered the abortion industry responsible for the death of over 55 million unborn Americans, and led the push for gay 'marriage.' The First Amendment protects their right to publish whatever they wish. But as is so often the case with the far-left, they wish to deny the protections of the First Amendment to those of us who support traditional marriage and who wish to prevent the government from discriminating against us. In the twisted logic of the New York Times, the constitution exists to protect their views but does not protect our rights . In fact, just as they advocated that marriage be redefined, they would like to redefine the First Amendment to neuter its guarantee of religious liberty . The reason they wish to do this is because they hate the idea that people still support tr

Apple joins other corporate giants in supporting radical gay rights ‘Equality Act’

Image
WASHINGTON,  Last month Apple clambered aboard the newest corporate bandwagon, joining other Internet Age corporate giants such as Google and Facebook, older companies such as General Mills, American Airlines, Dow Chemicals and Levi Strauss and hundreds of lesser enterprises in throwing their support behind the 2015 Equality Act .  The radical legislation would add the terms “sexual orientation and gender identity” to the 1964 Civil Rights Act , which already bans discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, and national origin. It would also specifically prevent the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act from being used to defend Christian organizations from discrimination charges. According to leading traditional marriage defender Ryan Anderson , from The Heritage Foundation , the bill goes significantly beyond the controversial and widely opposed Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), by embedding “sexual orientation and gender identity” throughout feder

The consequences of Homosexual marriage

Image
Anderson's book, Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom is a tour de force, setting forth the key reasons why the Supreme Court ruling purporting to redefine marriage was wrong, and laying out many of the consequences that will flow from this illegitimate ruling that has no legal basis in our nation's constitution.  The Kindle version of the book is available now, while the printed version will be shipped in August. We urge you to order the book and after you've read it, post a review. Despite a vicious attempt by same-sex marriage Internet trolls who obviously have not read the book, the book is being favorably received by the public and will make a very significant contribution in explaining how wrong the US Supreme Court decision was.

Christians must go on the offensive against Gay Mafia

April 14, 2015 ( Crisis Magazine ) - The controversy about the Indiana religious liberty  statute is a textbook example of the increasing timidity of leading Republican politicians in the face of the homosexualist movement. It is an exposè of how they just can’t get past the politics of the moment—which they often poorly analyze—to see the civilizational questions that confront us in these times. Governor Mike Pence of Indiana quickly stepped back after supporting and signing the law as soon as the crescendo of criticism from the homosexualists and their media allies began and concerns about hurting the Indianapolis tourist trade were raised. After consulting with homosexualist organizations, he pushed through the state legislature a “clarification” of the law that supposedly would insure that it wouldn’t be used to “discriminate” against homosexuals. By doing that, the law was essentially gutted and the homosexualist organizations scored a major victory by securing specific

Christian teaching is not ‘hateful’: the stakes are too high to be silenced by that label

Hate is disobedience to God . "Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him" ( I John 3:15). To rage against, physically or verbally abuse , belittle, or diminish the humanity of homosexuals is hateful. To disagree is not hateful. To stand for truth is not hateful. To make arguments about human sexuality and marriage from  sociological and demographic data  is not hateful. To  object to the legal redefinition of marriage  is not hateful. To  oppose efforts to redefine marriage in law  is not hateful. To believe in  the uniqueness of male-female complementarity  is not hateful. To herald  the Bible's teaching that sexual intimacy is reserved for the covenant of one-man, one-woman marriage  is not hateful. To assert that any form of sexual intimacy outside of heterosexual, monogamous marriage is sinful is not hateful. To affirm the Bible's teaching that whatever one's sins (

When they come to destroy your business because you are pro-traditional family

English: Porlock Hardware, High Street, Porlock A traditional family run hardware shop. A hardware business has been run from these premises since 1935. http://www.porlock.co.uk/members/index.php?id=00114 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) When they come to destroy your business because you are pro- traditional family I’ve been thinking about how homosexualists target Christian businesses for destruction.  Approach a florist or a bakery or, now, a pizzeria and tell the owner that this is for a homosexual “wedding” and then hammer them with law suits . Enough already.  It’s time for everyone to calm down. We need a new approach. Think about this. When some homosexual couple comes to your Christian business for services at their immoral event, don’t panic.  Go ahead and take their business! Then explain what is going to happen next. Tell them that the food and services will be just fine.  And then inform them that all of the money that they pay for the services will be dona

Muslim bakers don’t want to make your gay ‘wedding’ cake, either; where are the protests? (video)

DEARBORN, MI , April 7, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Homosexual activists have painted Christian bakers, florists, and photographers as veritable hatemongers for refusing to participate in a same-sex “wedding” on religious grounds – but it is not only Christianity that teaches that homosexuality is immoral. In a new video, Steven Crowder discovered numerous Muslim bakeries refused to bake a cake for a homosexual “marriage” – and Crowder is calling homosexuals out for not being equally aggressive toward the Religion of Peace . Last week, Crowder posted an undercover  video  in which he visited several Muslim-owned bakeries in the Islamic hotspot of Dearborn, Michigan, posing as a man who planned to “wed” his boyfriend and wanted a cake made to honor their homosexual relationship. While a few bakeries were willing to create the gay “wedding” cake, “many of them were not,” Crowder reported. In the video, Muslim bakery employees can clearly be seen and heard refusing to cre

Lesbian activist: LGBT tactics are ‘bullying,’ ‘fascism,’ ‘totalitarian’

INDIANAPOLIS, IN , April 8, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – After the owners of an Indianapolis pizza shop were forced to close their doors and go into hiding because of death threats from homosexual activists, a longtime gay advocate has spoken out – against the harassment. Talk show host  Tammy Bruce , who is a lesbian and former leader of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women , told Sean Hannity last week that LGBT harassment of Memories Pizza – as well as Christian florists, bakers, and photographers who refused to participate in same-sex “wedding” cermonies for religious reasons – is a form of “bullying” that borders on “fascism.” She said today's pressure and coercion conflict with the philosophy she learned when she entered political activism. “We have embraced the civil rights movements of this country, which were about allowing people to live the lives that best suit them,” she said. But, she warned, today's LGBT movement has no in

This is how religious liberty dies: the new rules of the secular left

Official portrait of Congressman (R-IN) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) April 8, 2015 ( AlbertMohler.com ) -- The vast high-velocity moral revolution that is reshaping modern cultures at warp speed is leaving almost no aspect of the culture untouched and untransformed. The advocates of same-sex marriage and the more comprehensive goals of the LGBT movement assured the nation that nothing would be fundamentally changed if people of the same gender were allowed to marry one another. We knew that could not be true, and now the entire nation knows. The latest Ground Zero for the moral revolution is the state of Indiana , where legislators passed a state version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act , which Gov. Mike Pence then signed into law. The controversy that followed was a free-for-all of misrepresentation and political posturing. Within days, the governor capitulated to the controversy by calling for a revision of the law — a revision that may well make the RFRA a force for
