Scott Walker backtracks on reaction to gay Boy Scout leaders
Politico ^ | 07/15/2015 | Adam Lerner

Posted on 07/15/2015 3:01:13 PM PDT by GIdget2004

Scott Walker stumbled over his own prior comments Wednesday, saying that when he called on the Boy Scouts to reinstate a ban on gay leaders because it “protected children,” he meant the ban protected them from media scrutiny.

“The protection was not a physical protection,” Walker said Wednesday at an event in South Carolina, according to The New York Times. Rather, the Wisconsin governor continued, he was referring to “protecting them from being involved in the very thing you’re talking about right now, the political and media discussion about it, instead of just focusing on what Scouts is about, which is about camping and citizenship and things of that nature.”

“Homosexuals make up only about two percent of the population. Why is everyone so terrified of them?”

I have been asking that question for years now and have yet to get an answer.

The quick answer is that homosexual activists are the tip of the spear of the drive to overturn Christian morality, the natural family, and eventually Christianity itself. Thus the 2% of the population that is homosexual receives broad support among the elites and others who detest Christianity. They are using homosexuality as a tool to destroy biblical faith.

A battle of epic proportions is just beginning for the heart and soul of the nation. The 2016 election may be our last chance to turn the tide - IF that election is allowed to take place...

Full disclosure: I worked for a decade in public policy on behalf of pro-family issues in Washington DC, and have written and published extensively on this issue.

Just ask the abused kids.

Really stupid strawman question.

You said cover-up. Let's expose the truth.

One of Wall Street's most political billionaires just passed on Scott Walker
Business Insider ^ | July 9, 2015 | Linette Lopez

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) met with billionaire hedge-fund manager Dan Loeb on Wednesday, Business Insider has learned.

Walker was seeking Loeb's key financial support ahead of his all-but-certain presidential campaign, but he didn't get it. According to sources close to the situation, the sticking point was Loeb's support of same-sex marriage.


Cruz Mega-Donor is Gay, Pro-Pot Billionaire
The Texas Tribune
by Jay Root
July 3, 2012
But his largest longtime contributor is a gay billionaire who supports same-sex marriage and marijuana legalization, campaign finance filings show.

Peter Thiel, a German-born hedge fund manager and founder of the online payment system PayPal, gave Cruz $251,000 in 2009 for his aborted run for attorney general. The money represented 19 percent of the total raised for that campaign,...



Ted Cruz Is Guest of Two Gay Businessmen
New York Times ^ | APRIL 23, 2015 | MAGGIE HABERMAN
The dinner and “fireside chat” for about a dozen people with Mr. Cruz and his wife, Heidi, was at the Central Park South penthouse of Mati Weiderpass and Ian Reisner, longtime business partners who were once a couple and who have been pioneers in the gay hospitality industry.


You know that cash flow from debt is going to dry up--no more big government salaries, no more big government pension payments, no more regulations, no more NIMBYs, no overinflated real estate. I plan to be well stocked with popcorn, when it does.

Vote a big spender in, and we'll sooner have a much better show here than what's seen in the following.

Walker is the only candidate with a real record of cutting big spending. But maybe I shouldn't care. Maybe I should simply watch hordes of socialist political/regulator folks in both political parties bring their own deposition.

Gheez. I just complimented him for sticking to his guns about the biblical tweet.

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

That’s right....people respect someone who sticks to their guns and stays true to their convictions than some wishy washy politician that realized he/she would take a hit in the polls if he/she didn’t backtrack original statement. A halfway intelligent person can see right through that. I’m tired of these types.

Where do you get cover-up from my post?

FYI: I'm trying my level best to operate this new laptop without a mouse and I'm still too sick to go to Walmart to buy one.

Furthermore, the libtard sites I named/cited, don't merit hits and a kind FReeper copied the entire article and sent it in FR mail to me.

If Mr. Obama is a Christian, where is the proof?

His “fight the smears” site made the audacious claim that he was a LIFE LONG Christian.

He was raised by an agnostic mother, 2 muslim fathers, a Unitarian grandmother, and supposedly brought to Jesus by a former muslim holding hate rallies for 20 years.

Does he have a baptism certificate?

He sees Jesus as a “historical figure” but not the only way to salvation (he does not accept that followers of other faiths around the globe face eternal damnation).

He mentions the ‘holy koran’ a lot but I never hear him call it the Holy Bible.

Republicans are asked biblical questions on creation, marriage, etc. in the debates, why wasn’t Obama asked if he believes Jesus was crucified, dead, and resurrected?

The fact that I never see homosexuals going after muslims/mosques is proof to me that you are right in your assessment that their goal (and their supporters) are bent on destroying Christianity. It was never about cakes or flowers, but about the Christian faith.
