...and the homo-fascists are re-defining the word “gay” to hide their evil, satanic lifestyle.

Why do you think that the image of a rainbow was chosen by the activists?

It’s pretty clear to me that it was to poke a finger in the eye of the religious right and God.

Fifty-seven percent of Americans said they see the flag as evoking Southern pride in the CNN/ORC poll released Thursday, compared to 33 percent who believe it is racist.

I'd love to see an age breakdown of those two groups. What percent of that 33% are 'under 25 oatmeal for brains?'

It is poetic that they use an image associated with God’s judgment and with “the days of Noah.”

What is the reason given for only having six colors in the pride flag instead of seven in a real rainbow, and which color is missing?

Just as an aside. The New York State National Guard’s Sixty-ninth division has the rainbow as their shoulder patch. That guard unit fought as far back as the War of Secession.

I think its sort of a copy of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition from the 1980s. The rainbow reference implied people of all races, colors, creeds, blah, blah were included. I think that resonated with the gay movement, and they co-opted it....almost as a jab to the Rats (who as recently as 10 years ago were opposed to gay marriage)...to say ‘let us in’.

If they want to take a jab at religion, they do it...but are alot less subtle. I really think they overlooked the biblical roots of the rainbow.

Oh, yes - I'm sure every poor southern boy and Yankee alike began their last day on earth only with the thought that "slavery" and "racial hate" is the reason why they are there at that moment, sitting in the mud, waiting to die.

There's a reason why schools don't teach history and civics anymore.

As of today, I still haven't heard any talking head talk about the 650,000 Americans who died fighting Mr. Lincoln's little war - 650.000 Americans - by today's population numbers, that rounds out to 7 million Americans. Quite a price, indeed

Imho, 27 percent of the population has oatmeal for brains. That number consistently shows up in polls about whether or jot the moon landing was faked, 9-11 was an inside job, Katrina was made with a weather machine, etc. Its uncanny.

God works in mysterious ways. The joke is on the homos. Their rainbow flag is not a rainbow. Their flag has SIX colors (in the Bible six represents man)- God’s rainbow has SEVEN colors - (in the Bible seven represents God’s completion).

THEIR RAINBOW IS A FAKE, JUST AS THEY ARE IN GOD’S PLAN FOR A MAN AND WOMAN TO BE COMPLETION.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that a group who would turn heterosexual sex on it’s head, would be timid about twisting a rainbow or the word gay.

Each has commonality with the other.

These are each perversions.

And now the federal government has brought perversion main stream.

I have never been a person who thought homosexuals should be singled out. I was pretty much a live and let live guy. Then they said all they wanted was to be able to come out of the closet, and by golly that was a perversion too.

They didn’t just want to come out of the closet. They wanted to disrupt the solemnity of heterosexual marriage.

They also wanted to foist off homosexual indoctrination on our nation’s children in kindergarten. Heterosexuals don’t even do that. This was new ground in several very destructive ways.

What is the common denominator in all this?

Homosexuality
Rainbows
Gay
Just wanting to be able to come out of the closet
Marriage
Children

Perversion and nothing else...

Now you have two grown men able to marry and adopt little boys.

Here are two people who couldn’t control their perverted sexual urges, put in charge of raising a vulnerable child.

You wouldn’t make this stuff up it’s so perverted.

It is interesting how the word “pride” is used by various Leftwing activist clusters. Pride is the sin which breaks the First Commandment. It says, in effect, “I am god.”

Possibly......

But I’m not so sure about that.

I am speaking about a activist leaders here, and not the rank and file gay supporters.

I became convinced of this a decade or so ago when civil unions were rejected in favor of matrimony.

Marriage under the eyes of the government is marriage in any society and is a legal contract, but matrimonial ceremonies are the purview of the church.

They are going to and have demanded matrimony and intend to force churches to give it to them through mandate.

This has already occurred in Scotland and other places in Europe and now it’s here.

What other point could they be trying to make?

They are going to regulate religion through government and law. The marriage license is not good enough. And it appears to me that the SCOTUS decision will lead to this and quickly.

So....It seems that our Republic is no longer a Republic at all and the Constitution can be ignored in favor of just one angry self victimized litigant.

If you speak with a liberal trained lawyer today, (and they are the majority) you will discover that this is the way they see the Constitution.

The so called “living document”........You simply read into it whatever meaning you choose..

Pride has been coopted by homosexuals. They have pride parades. Just as they have changed the definition of the word gay, they are changing the definition of the word pride.

I don’t believe it is applicable statistics to extrapolate the number of men killed in the US Civil War to today’s population. Tactics and strategies and survival resources change as to warfare. As an overseas vet of WWII and having a brother killed on Okinawa in WWII I see many notices of men who were killed in WWII that might have been kept alive in wars since then. I can only pray that our wounded vets living today do have a good life.

You just have to admire God.
