I don’t like to issue this type of rant, but honestly, if this isn’t end times then I can’t imagine what they would look like.

Ryan Seacrest is powerful in the entertainment industry and gay. So it makes perfect sense that this project got the green light.

disgusting

btw, the first show ABC Family ever ordered after buying the channel was about people shacking up, so this is no surprise

Quit watching Modern Family - they really were pushing that gay stuff way overboard. Only good one is The Middle.

Ratings will suck, cash flow will suffer and no one at ABC will care.

This is why I end up watching the likes of “Storage Wars”. At least the people are real, like me; though the items they have to get “checked out” are staged.

The great irony: ABC Family was founded by Pat Robertson as “The Family Channel.” Pat and one of his sons made upwards of $300 million on the deal; Pat put most of his share into Regent University and his ministry; his son became one of the founders of Max Media, which operates a chain of MSM radio and TV stations.

Under terms of the deal that sold The Family Channel to ABC (after a brief ownership period by Fox), Robertson’s daily show, “The 700 Club” is guaranteed a slot on the network. I’m not a big fan of Pat, but I think it’s hilarious that a secular network must air a Christian program twice a day. I’ve heard that part of the deal doesn’t end until Pat Robertson passes away, so for that reason alone, I hope he makes it to 100.

1) ABC is the faggot network. Disney is the faggot studio.

2) I have always suspected something wasn’t quite right with Ryan Seacrest.

To think that Pat Robertson started and used to own the Family Channel and sold it to the Devil, as it turns out.

Years ago I realized that ABC “Family” wasn’t for “family” viewing. I think it was a showing of “Pretty Woman” that did it for me. ABC Family -— movie about a prostitute. Does not compute.

The Family Channel was started and owned in the beginning by CBN, Pat Robertson. The Family Channel turned out to be so succesful it created tax problems for the non- profit tax exempt religious CBN. Pat Robertson’s 700 Club had been running on the Family Channel.

Long story short, CBN sold ABC the Family channel promising to continue airing the 700 club then Disney buys ABC Family.

I’m sure Pat Robertson loves hearing things like this. This is akin to Jerry Falwell selling Larry Flynts smut in Liberty Universitys bookstore.

Natural laws learned over thousands of years were mocked, ridiculed, overturned, and even outlawed. Toward the end, homosexual drill sergeants prowled the barracks grooming receptive teenage recruits. Hey, we were told, it’s their business, and who are you to judge them? Later, they could get married in the post-interfaith worship center by a military spiritual advisor (“chapels” and “chaplains” having been purged from the lexicon for favoring the Christian faiths) and then move on to adopting children.

And finally, the last old-guard bunker to fall: the Boy Scouts, completing the cycle of government-approved sodomite corruption. For a century the Scouts were morally straight? According to whose definition of straight? So why shouldn’t adult homosexual Scout leaders share tents with teenagers in our brave new world? Don’t be a homophobe, we were told. Each child can make his or her own free choice about their gender identity, but now with helpful adult mentors to guide them along the formerly forbidden paths.

If it feels good, do it. Or have it done to you. Or even do it unto the little children. Tommy wants to become Tomasina before heading to kindergarten? Her brave new mommy agrees? A government-provided surgeon will perform the “gender reassignment” operation. And if kindergarten isn’t soon enough to put the kids on the unrepressed road to gender identification, then start them on Heather Has Two Mommies and Prince and Prince cartoon books in the government-subsidized day care centers.

Smiling experts assured us that we were merely throwing off the shackles of our repressed sexualities. Dissent is hate, and hate is not tolerated around here, mister, so shut up and get with the program. Well, I couldn’t get with the program, so I quit my public high school job. As a world history teacher, moving from a public school to a Christian academy (at less pay and fewer benefits) gave me a couple more years of insulation from the social wreckage cascading down.

I kept looking up for the big asteroid, but we didn’t need God to smite us from outer space. In the end, we smote ourselves with our hubris, believing that we were replacing God’s wisdom with our own. The proud decadence and in-your-face cultural perversions didn’t cause the Rupture, but they were surely flashing red signs warning that the end was near.
