“As well as contributing to private initiatives, Singer also actively seeks to persuade other Republicans to support gay marriage. He has joined other Wall Street executives in support of LGBT equality and stated that same-sex marriage promotes “family stability” and that in a time when “the institution of marriage in America has utterly collapsed,” the fact that gay couples want to marry “is kind of a lovely thing and a cool thing and a wonderful thing.”” -wikipedia

“I think the Tom Tancredo days within the party are over,” says conservative radio host Erick Erickson, who also runs the blog RedState, “if only because of the shell-shock results of 2012 that the base has had to suffer through.”

Erickson says this time around many groups that were previously against an immigration overhaul have changed their minds — such as “some of the local Chambers of Commerce that have been suspicious in the past, some of the Tea Party groups.”

http://www.redstate.com/2014/06/11/toxicity-immigration-rhetoric/

“. A poor example of that would be this piece by my colleague Daniel Horowitz which addresses at least arguably a real issue, but cloaked in so much rhetoric that rises immediately to the level of 11 that it gives the very clear impression that Central American kids who cross the border without their parents should be left to starve. Calling supporters of immigration reform by Spanish names as an insult as some did a la “Jorge Arbusto” or “Juan McCain” is – let’s say less than helpful insensitivity at best and a “tell” of pretty strong racial biases at worst. “

Singer one of the leading advocates of homosexual “marriage” in the United States. He gave millions to promote that degeneracy. I guess “chistian” fatty Erickson has no problems taking money from a man who hell bent for leather on destroying the morals of this country. Cruz also took his money.

Then I guess you won’t have any problem with your anti-Trump alliance with Paul Singer.

Speak of which have you damned anyone to hell lately, or are you out of the false prophet business?

Erick is one voice among many. What gives his voice any more credibility than that of my conscience? Why should anyone care who funds him or his words?

Trump is a rich, stubborn, inarticulate windbag, but I’m glad he pisses off people who are comfortable with the status quo. He will benefit from people with more wisdom than himself if he ever attains to the office of President.

Whatever happens, the proud will be put down from their high places and the humble will be exalted.

One of the most important players in the battle over same-sex marriage is Paul E. Singer...unabashed advocate of same-sex marriage...

Put his name in a search engine with "gay" or "gay marriage". There's tons there. I'm tired of doing it for the no-info Cruzers when they can research their candidate themselves (if they wished to rise above no-info level)

Erickson is showing himself to be scummier than I suspected, which is quite an accomplishment.

This douche bag is out almost daily with some new anti-Trump idiocy.

It's his new industry, as he has pretty much forfeited his position as a conservative/Republican voice of wisdom.

I think Bill Kristol crossed the bridge today as well, with his position that a vote for Hillary is preferable than Trump.

Next Johnson will reveal that Cruz supporter Robert Mercer invested millions of dollars in the Heritage Foundation (also a sponsor of The Resurgent) and Breitbart.com.

Good one. Funny, I have never gone on a website, and damned anyone to hell, ever. Yet, they keep showing their face around here. Who do they support again?
