Religious Liberty Order May Be Coming Down the Pike, Says Former Trump Advisor
Truth Revolt ^ | 4/20/2017 | Michael Horn

"LGBT agenda will be unhinged."

A new religious liberty executive order protecting Christians from the onslaught of former community organizer Barack Obama's radical LGBT agenda may be in the works soon, says former Donald Trump advisor Ken Blackwell.

“My anticipation is that we will see an Executive Order and it will be more than window dressing,” Blackwell, senior fellow for Human Rights and Constitutional Governance at the Family Research Council, told LifeSiteNews, predicting that Obama's “aggressive LGBT agenda will be unhinged."

“We have a great plan to attack the administrative state,” he said. “We will have to be very meticulous in how we dismantle it.”

This will require a bold executive order on behalf of President Trump, and to his credit, he has largely kept his promises thus far, having signed bills to allow states to defund abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood and having nominated pro-religious freedom justice Neil Gorsuch to SCOTUS.

Trump's biggest promise on religious liberty came during his campaign when he vowed to overturn the Johnson amendment that barred churches from making political endorsements for fear of losing tax exempt status, which would deal a death blow to anti-religious forces in the United States government.

Whatever Trump's plans for religious liberty, he certainly has not posed the same anti-Christian agenda that Hillary and the Democrats would have implemented, something for which all Christians should be thanking heaven.

I for one hope President Trump delivers on this. It will be the biggest "IN YOUR FACE!" to leftists. The good thing is, a lot of people already hate Trump so it's not as if his reputation is on the line.

I hope so too. It is the one thing more than any other which made me pray for his election.

D-i-s-m-a-n-t-l-i-n-g Obama's administrative state........

Now admit it....... have you EVER heard or seen such beautiful words in your entire life?

===================================================

Permeating the strange, un-American Obama thing-a-lings was a trashy progressive mindset that corrupted every facet of our culture, that encouraged lawlessness, that derided people of faith.

The braindead Progressives hollowed out all the goodness in the land of the free, based on their perverted cockamamie believe that our nation was founded by an evil cabal of religious white men.

I have read that many of the Antifa rioters are on government payrolls. We need to know where the rioters work.

I’m all for the EO but here is the problem:
What is done by EO can be undone by future EO (this discussion is a case in point— Obama EO overturned/repealed by Trump EO) ... A future liberal president can just reinstate it.

Somehow these things have to get done by legislation/constitutional amendment or by definition they are temporary :(

We can pretend that “protections for religious liberty” will solve the problem, but it won’t.

There can be no coexistence with militant sexual anarchists in society. Once that was tacitly “legitimized” in law and in society, Christianity was in competition, a losing competition.

Even that isn't as secure as changing the culture; that should be our real goal.

Is it a losing competition?

How do you think Christianity conquered the Roman Empire, without elections, without really much political power at all before Constantine?

We have been losing because we *refuse to fight*.

Uplifting attitudes don’t atone for or substitute for the truth.

I see that more as ostrich-ing.

No argument from me there. I'm absolutely sick of the virtual quislings which reside in most pulpits.

If the plain language of the First Amendment wasn’t enough, why would an additional amendment help?

Just asking the question.
