Rubio: Gay Agenda’s ‘Next Step’ is to Define ‘Mainstream Christianity’ as ‘Hate Speech’
CNS News ^ | 5-27-15 | Michael W. Chapman

Posted on 05/27/2015 1:41:35 PM PDT by markomalley

Conservative Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said that in America today if you do not support homosexual marriage, “you are labeled a homophobe and a hater,” and that the next step in that strategy is “to argue that the teachings of mainstream Christianity” constitute “hate speech.”

"We are at the water's edge of the argument that mainstream Christian teaching is hate speech,” said Senator Rubio in a May 26 interview with CBN News.

“Because today we've reached the point in our society where if you do not support same-sex marriage you are labeled a homophobe and a hater,” he said, adding, “so what's the next step after that?"

"After they are done going after individuals, the next step is to argue that the teachings of mainstream Christianity, the catechism of the Catholic Church, is hate speech and that's a real and present danger,” said Rubio.

He knows he has to say this to get support from conservative values voters and just folks like me who take our Constitution seriously like the First Amendment.

He’s talking the talk right now but will not walk it once in office.

Religious conservatives like Mike Pence and Asa Hutchinson were willing to cave on religious freedom in Indiana and Arkansas, Rubio is no better than them.

It’s not the “gays” that are pushing this,
they are simply being used as the excuse.

The left as a whole is anti-Christian.
They’re just pushing the “gay agenda” as their excuse to criminalize Christian beliefs.

However, if they intend to go full on “dragging us off to the camps”, I think they’re going to meet some “resistance” to say the least.

Agree...On a scale from 1 to 10...10 being very conservative, Rubio rate 9.3. He goofed on amnesty. He said he made a mistake.

A minority of a minority is deciding what the majority is going to hear from the minority.

“However, if they intend to go full on “dragging us off to the camps”, I think they’re going to meet some “resistance” to say the least.”

There is no way that can happen America in any sort of political progression, full stop, end of sentence. They need absolute power first and then they can just do it. How to take absolute power? Easy. Kill a few million Americans in “terrorist” attacks and the people will beg for the kind of ‘security’ which will facilitate absolute power.

If you oppose abortion on demand, you hate women. That is part of the war on women meme. You hate women if you oppose such abortion policies, and in fact, you want to see females impaled on rusty coat hangers.

So we turn that back on them. "You hate children so much you want to see them torn apart and flushed away, you progressive hater!"

A bunch of 125-lb. wimps with the IQ of apes, who hate guns and have been castrated by femi-Nazis, are about to call us names. Scarey. I guess we better surrender.

This is the crux of the matter, and the ultimate goal of the gaystapo.

If the Supreme Court invents a new right to gay marriage across all 50 states next month, it is time for Congress to override them.(See Article 3 of the Constitution)

All people of faith will have to make their voices heard and demand this, or they will be silenced, religious freedom be damned.

A hearing in a New York court - Chimpanzees might get some rights. Does that mean that Chimpanzees would be given more rights than unborn children?

You don’t have to be a Christian to recognize the FACT that Nature selected HETEROsexual procreation for species because the genetic exchange of Sex increases fitness — and that the “culture” of mutual masturbation worshiped by reprobate perverts isn’t Sex.
