My own position on the matter is that I admire Mr. yiannopoulos's outspokenness and view him as an ally in the fight against political correctness. And I pray for his redemption. That's a rather different thing from celebrating or supporting his lifestyle.
O’Keefe Video:
What a GREAT video that was..!
He started off in University protesting Lucky Charms in the cafeteria “cuz it’s demeaning to me as an IRISH-American”..!
And they couldn’t TELL it was all a JOKE on them..! They took him —had to take him— completely seriously.
omg ROFLMAO..!!!
I thought Milo was going to lose it when the soldier presented his tags to him during the Q & A...
I certainly meant no offensive accusation to Mr. Robinson. He says he knows nothing about this Milo guy. May I say, though, that the Word of God and the presence of my Saviour in my life is all the ‘safe place’ that I need.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. If that makes me a heathen, so be it.
He’s the best and so funny to watch the low IQ’s fall for his schtick at their expense!
Never. Your premise is false.
But FR has always been a community that embraces American Liberty and Exceptionalism, and that's what Milo is preaching.
When you're listening to Milo speak, check your "Church Lady" hangups at the door, or else make sure you're sitting on the fainting couch.
In America, gay people have the same Right to Pursue Happiness as straight people.
You'd probably be very surprised to discover that several of the fiscally conservative members of this community with whom you fraternize on a daily basis might be (gasp) gay!
Alternately, you might further discover that many of your fellow FR compatriots are instead guilty of fornication, adultery, substance abuse, atheism, or any number of other sins.
So hate the sin, not the sinner. Milo is a very important instrument of outreach for the Trump campaign and the anti-PC movement in general.
Every one of us Trump supporters, as well as Trump himself, are sinners. Period. Thus, every vessel that God uses is aught but a filthy sinner.
I don't think any of us are trying to glorify sin, and, for the purposes of these appearances, neither is Milo Yiannopoulos.
Vote Trump!
I doubt very much if Jesus Christ would ever use the pejorative term "fag" to refer to a homosexual.
Therein lies the distinction between His example and your hate.
Vote Trump!
Watched. Enjoyed.
>>>I doubt very much if Jesus Christ would ever use the pejorative term “fag” to refer to a homosexual.<<<
That was an unfortunate use of a slur. I would like to at least apologize for that and assure you and anyone else that reads it that I completely repudiate the Fred Phelps bunch and everything they stand for. Their purpose is to purposely destroy America’s perception of Christianity.

Milo's thoughtful and sincere answer might surprise many here, and is well worth watching. Suffice it to say that Milo repudiates the Left's standard "gays are born this way" dogma.
Milo basically says if he could take a pill and be straight, he would, and his comments as a whole are very interesting.
I highly recommend watching the clip, for any FR members who have reservations about Milo, or who are just curious about this man's honest thoughts on his own "gayness".
Vote Trump!
I don’t buy it . . . my suspicion is rather that he is a plant and will one day embarrass the conservative movement he claims to be a part of.
Thank you for that clip where he talks about the pill. I watched the whole thing last night and nothing has changed. I’m a Christain and I love Milo and everything he’s doing to help Trump win over people in a generation we would NEVER be able to reach. He has a deep love for God and openly declares his faith, so who among us should be judging our fellow man? I’ll leave that dangerous soul-condemning, sanctimonious territory to God, thank you very much.
As for you, Pilgrim, I know people personally who have turned their back on God BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU. I saw it happen personally. At least you apologized for the reactive and instinctive “fag” comment. But the fact that you even said it RIGHT BEFORE YOU PROCLAIMED JUDGMENT on a man, as if you’re God Himself, means that perhaps you need to do a personal check on your own relationship with God. Of course I don’t know, but perhaps you could take a look at that. Sin is sin, right? Go read up on the Pharisees again. Perhaps it’ll do you some good.
Men choose not to come to the saving grace not because of harsh truths and bitter realities but rather . . .
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19).
Preachers that speak truth are but the smokescreen that the lost hide behind.
For goodness sake, I was rebuked for using the word “fag” in an earlier post . . . but I used it because this ‘individual’ proudly proclaims his ‘act’ as the “dangerous faggot tour!”
Your condemnation of me is but an affirmation of the truths that I present.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).
Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?” But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. “But go and learn what this means: ‘I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
The Lord.
Whatever, PreacherMan.
Speck. Plank. Eyeball. I’m sure you have the chapter and verse memorized.
100% of all republicans are such because one day they made an intelligent choice between the left and the right and chose to follow that which agreed closest with the Constitution.
On the other hand, the vast majority of ‘Christians’ believe they are such because either 1) they were born in America, or 2) they were born into a ‘religious’ family - but with no concept of biblical truths or principles - chiefly that of grace versus works. They know a few verses that they throw out to support their concept of ‘Christianity’ but in most cases “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” (Matthew 22:29).
It is very difficult to have a rational discussion with the CHRISTIAN-e. As conservatives we can discuss any aspect of politics and support our views . . . but when it comes to the very Word of God so many that fancy themselves ‘Christians’ reject what they assume to be a flawed document.
Umm... Ok.
I love you, too.
I would rather that you love Jesus and His Word . . . and use a little discernment.
