"Moral Majority" is a slogan, not a reality. So, if over 80% of Americans profess a belief in God, what would you call that?

I would call it the "God Believing Majority", nothing more.

Remember, the 9/11 gang believed in (their version of) God, so do many liberals.

Incidentally, so do the leaders of the Episcopalian church!!!

1)"Moral Majority" is a slogan, not a reality.
We’ll disagree on that. I think a great many people have a moral boundaries that they live within themselves and recognize in others. Some people are willing to move those lines and some people are not.

2)Unless government schools are stamped out the accomplishment of the queer agenda is simply a matter of time.
Agreed. Hopefully what’s going on in DC is the crack in the dam.

"The homosexual movement has a history of trying to claw its way into places its agenda doesn’t belong, not for the betterment of mankind, but simply to legitimize and normalize perverse behavior. This is apparent in the all-too-common need of homosexuals to declare their sexuality rather than simply do the job they sign on to do.

This is extremely detrimental - first, it creates conflict with others as most believe homosexuality to be wrong, and it shows that the full efforts of the employed homosexual are not going towards performing the task at hand but largely to declaring their lifestyle. When it comes to serious concerns such as the Church, schools, and the Boy Scouts that involve our children, we can’t take the risk of giving them this power to destroy the values we as parents try to instill, nor can we put our country’s welfare at stake by turning these pivotal foundational institutions and our military into homosexual social experiments.

The homosexual movement is marked by two major tendencies: the tendency to continually infiltrate all good aspects of society; and once they have achieved that, the tendency to destroy this good. Public education, the Boy Scouts, the military, and now the Catholic Church have been targeted, and all have been hurt by the effects of homosexuality. The media and the Church must break its silence towards this enemy. If they do not, the people themselves must rise up and expose it..."

But if millions watch Will & Grace, millions more are appalled by it; that's the nature of niche marketing.....well, now your children can bond with piece of $hit show when they get home from school this semester. It plays on Direct TV's WGN at 3:30 while your still at work. Think the media whore's didn't plan it that way?????????????
