American's are asked (sometimes even told) to be understanding of people who might not be like us. We are especially instructed that we should be tolerant of gays. Though we don't necessarily agree with their lifestyle or orientation, we are told that it is even possibly unlawful not to be tolerant and understanding of them. As in "Hate Crimes."
Apparently, equal justice under the Law doesn't extend to people who disagree with the concept of "Gay Marriage."
If one of you were unwise enough to, in a public setting, give voice to the opinion held by the vast majority of Americans—that marriage rightfully occurs between a man and a woman—then Hate Crime after vile Hate Crime can be committed against you and there would be no outcry raised.
People could call you hateful, insulting names on internet blogs, publish controversial photos of you and get massive media coverage, publicly question the sincerity of your faith, and try to get your life's accomplishments nullified or tarnished, all because you voiced an opinion that disagrees with the Gay Mafia.
It isn't enough that "equal Protection" is gone out the window along with the First Amendment and the Fourteenth as well.
Worse still... what makes this so perversely ironic... is that the vicious intolerance we consider here is at the hands of those whom we are repeatedly told we must be tolerant of. Under the possible threat of being accused of a "Hate Crime."
This despicable, un-thinkable, un-American charade has gone on long enough; too long even. The militant Gay Mafia is similar to fanatical Islam extremists in that, if you refuse to accept and espouse their dictated world view, regardless how perverse or sick, then you are fit for personal destruction.
And nobody will raise a finger or bat an eye, so fearful of the politically correct thought police have we become.
America has some choices here. Everything this country once held dear is under assault, top to bottom and front to back. We must not stand silent on the sidelines and watch this tragedy unfold.
NO. MORE. They have taken as much as they are going to get. NO. MORE. From now on we who have a voice will be heard stating what we know is right, and what we know is wrong.
We will call evil by its rightful name with pride and without shame for our view. And by identifying the enemy, we will at least have a chance to engage him before the battle is lost without a fight.
Shame on the Gay Mafia, on their willfull Lapdog Press finger-puppets, and their reprobate Beltway Enablers. Boycott all of them. Vote for none of them. Businesses that openly support "Gay Pride?" They've seen my last dime. The death-throes of the MainStreamMedia which we can exult in as we watch them, are proof of the impact we can have when we stop buying what they're selling... literally.
Congress does not control my vote, or my purse-strings. Let's show them what we think.

HARRY KNOX who works for the fraud in the WH should head up the Gay Religion Department here on this one. I literally became ill when I read about him. I had to go back & lie down, i really mean that.
He is one militant gay of the highest order.
It's virtually every Fortune 100 company. The homos are well organized and, as you put it, militant. Supporters of Prop 8 in California found it increasingly difficult to entice corporate backers because of the well-organized boycotts that were put on by the homosexuals. They picketed hotels, grocery stores, restaurants and others all to great effect.
Dems complain about the effectiveness of the NRA, but I think that the most effective lobby, without equal, is the homo lobby.
Link doesn’t work.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a recent Catholic convert, said the Knox appointment is part of Obama’s “intensely secular” and “anti-religious” agenda.
“Why would you put an anti-religious, left-wing zealot on a faith-based council?” Gingrich asked on Fox News last week. “It’s a perfect pattern for this administration.”
That set off Newt Gingrich’s sister, Candace Gingrich, a homosexual rights activist who defended Knox in an op-ed on the Huffington Post. “I don’t take kindly to bullies,” she told her brother.

Newt, you’ve really gone beyond the pale this time.
Earlier this week, as a guest on Greta Van Susteren’s show on the Fox News Channel, my brother referred to Harry Knox as “an anti-religious, left-wing zealot.” Newt was responding to Harry’s recent appointment to President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
I know Harry Knox. We work together at the Human Rights Campaign, where Harry serves as director of the Religion and Faith Program. He is a person of great wisdom who deserves his appointment.
He is also someone I am honored to call a dear friend. When my brother Newt attacks Harry, he’s attacking me. And I don’t take too kindly to bullies.
Right-wing voices like my brother’s use faith to manipulate people into voting against their interests by scapegoating the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
Come on, Newt—get with the program. We’re not so bad!
I don’t think my brother is the intolerant talking head he plays on television. Rather, he’s just using old, outmoded tactics in a desperate attempt to bring his party back from the dead. He is parroting the old canard that LGBT people cannot be people of faith. Ergo, people of faith cannot be supportive of LGBT people. If I may repeat myself, that is so 90s, bro.
But it isn’t the 90s anymore—far from it. Newt doesn’t realize he’s already lost, because the next generation won’t fall for the rhetoric that once was effective for the right-wing.
And, by the way, Harry’s comments about the Pope that have been so vilified by right-wingers, including my brother, were spot on. It is preposterous to say that condoms worsen the spread of AIDS. What next, telling followers that French-kissing can make you pregnant? That masturbating will make you go blind?

Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships is one Harry Knox of the Human Rights Campaign, a militant homosexual activist group.
Knox has demonstrated his qualifications for the job by denouncing the Pope and many Catholic bishops as “discredited leaders” because they have chosen to favor scripture over the homosexual social engineering agenda.
He called the Knights of Columbus “foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression” for supporting California’s Proposition 8, which bans the blasphemous travesty of homosexual “marriage.”
He also accused the Pope of lying for recommending abstinence over condoms in stopping the spread of AIDS and of “doing a great deal more harm than good.”

In response to his appointment, Knox declared:
“The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community is eager to help the Administration achieve its goals … And, of course, we will support the President in living up to his promise that government has no place in funding bigotry against any group of people.”
******
Two years ago during an appearance on MSNBC, Knox argued that scientific evidence supports the notion that certain people are born homosexuals. “What’s clear from our experience and from science is that being gay or lesbian is an immutable, unchangeable gift from God — one for which I’m very grateful,” he said. According to the HRC website, Knox is a former licensed pastor of a United Methodist Church in Georgia, and was denied ordination because of his sexual orientation.
When Knox worked for Freedom to Marry in Pennsylvania, he had a debate with the Rev. Gino Jennings in November 2004 at Jennings’ church in Philadelphia.
Knox argued that scriptures condemning homosexuality are incorrect, while Jennings insisted that every word in the Bible is inspired by God.
“Considering the so-called Faith Based Council, I mean, the question is, what are they supposed to have faith in? If they really have faith in God or faith in scripture, then judging from what he (Knox) stands for and believes, they would not have selected him,” Jennings told CNSNews.com last week. “To use religion as a cover-up to justify sin is a real contradiction.”
Though critical, Jennings said Knox is sincere in his faith, yet misguided.
“Any time a man will tell me he was under the anointing of the Lord when he was with his gay partner, he’s convinced,” Jennings said. “He really is very delusional. A man don’t need no moving from God to permit an abominable act, any more than an arsonist needs an act from God to burn down a building. Right or wrong is a choice.”

“But to gay activists like Knox, the pope is a liar. Indeed, he instructed the pope to ‘start telling the truth about condom use,’ holding the Holy Father accountable for ‘endangering people’s lives.’
“He never explained how calls for abstinence could possibly jeopardize anyone’s life. Knox even went so far as to say that because the Knights of Columbus—like most Americans—oppose gay marriage, they are ‘foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression.’
“Though Knox is not Catholic, he could not resist blasting the Catholic Church when it decided a few years back to ban homosexual candidates for the priesthood who ‘supported gay culture.’
“He branded this commonsensical position ‘an attempt at mind control’ and a ‘dangerous and immoral’ stance. In other words, he wants the Catholic Church to accept candidates like himself, practicing homosexuals so radical that even liberal mainline Protestant seminaries turn them away.
“Catholics take note: the Obama administration would never appoint an anti-gay person to any post. But it has no problem appointing anti-Catholics.”

yep
The destruction of moral conviction (religious belief) in American society is the exact same thing as the destruction of America itself.
If anyone actually questions whether America was founded as a Christian nation, they need look no further than this simple truth. Take away the religious underpinnings of this once-Great Nation, and watch how quickly she crumbles into decay, and is laid waste.
Our forfathers told us that The U.S. Constitution is only intended for a religious, moral people, and that it is entirely unfit to guide any other type of people, because:
"If a man will not obey God's own Law, how can he be expected to obey Man's Law?"
We needn't wait 20 or 40 years to see what the results of removing God from our public square, our public schools, our public discourse will be. The answer to that question sits this day in our White House. He and his Gay, Anti-Family, Anti-American cabal are already pulling the loose threads from the fabric of our society as fast and as furiously and as gleefully as they can.
We will either remove the loose strands from their grasp or watch the entire Nation unravel. 200-plus years of blood, shed as moral sacrifices to keep this nation free and strong and good, and we piss it away in 40 years. The greatest nation in the history of the World, which saved the entire World from tyrannical despots twice in the last cantury. This reality we confront today, of our own making, was pretty much officially kicked off by the "If it feels good, do it" '60's. How truly pathetic.
While these vile seeds were being sewn by Liberal Academia as far back as the 1920's, their openly accepted forms of public expression did not come into vogue until the Woodstock Generation. "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony." I'll just bet you would.
Answer me this, Mr. President:
If the constitution no longer matters (Birth Certificate?), and if the tax laws no longer matter (Geithner, Rangel, etc. etc. etc.?), and all that matters is everyone doing whatever we want because we feel we can, then who among us is truly safe? Why, in fact, should any of us even bother listening to whatever you have to say? How could it possibly matter?
Consider carefully your answer, as though the world itself hangs in the balance... for indeed it does.

Really? Blame Obama! The Dem's blamed Bush for everything that happened for 8 years in a row, and it won them the White House, The House of Representatives, and the Senate.
We must do the same. Blame everything on Obama. He owns it now.
Link doesn't work? Why that damn, stinkin' OBAMA!
Actually, the link doesn't work because the website isn't up yet. I'll announce on FR when it's up... I'm going to give Drudge a run for his money.
JimRob can confirm that I was the first to break the Linda Tripp Tapes story. Whether he will is another matter, but he could if he wanted to, because he was here when I did it.

For homo's to play "married" just like the gay boys "play girl" and vice-versa is a sick, twisted insult to God and should not EVER be condoned, approved of, or allowed with a "wink and a shrug" from people of faith. God says in the Bible that he finds it an abomination, and that's all it ever can be.
For homo's to claim that not letting them pretend to be married is "oppression" is like a third grader telling his parents that they are "oppressing" him because they say he can't be an elephant. It is not oppression; it's reality.
It's actually healthy if the homosexuals learn to start dealing with it.

I say riot hose the limp lisping imbeciles down to the next block. If they come back, hose 'em down again. Eventually they'll tire of the rejection, go find a diseased flop house, and lick each other's sore widdle bummy-bums.
