The law provides exemptions for pastors, religious institutions and non-profit corporations affiliated with religious organizations, but The New York Times suggests those are unnecessary. So Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel Action advises the Times to take a closer look at the Constitution.

Mainly, he notes "our First Amendment rights of free speech and freedom of religious expression. This is troubling, but not surprising that The New York Times is once again publicly...editorializing about the need to trample on individuals' religious liberties," he laments.

Barber goes on to argue that the religious exemptions are worthless, as the only intent for their inclusion was to convince fence-sitting senators to vote for the legalization.

"The true motivation here is not for marriage equality; the true motivation is to, under penalty of law, ensure that all Americans are compelled to embrace the demonstrably destructive and immoral homosexual lifestyle," the attorney points out.


In order to accomplish that, any opposition must be silenced. In truth, Barber does not think the religious exemption goes far enough because it does not protect individual people of faith, especially those in business who oppose homosexuality.

It's ironic that homosexuals speak about not wanting people to tell them how to live, but then they demand that they can be "married," in essence living how society expects heterosexuals to live.

Homosexuality is a mental illness; those afflicted with it are inclined to not use their reproductive anatomy for its intended use. Psychologically, that has to be a damaging trait, yet homosexuals embrace it. That's like a man who refuses to walk, opting to always sit and use his legs only to move his chair in and out. Sure, you can live that way, but it's a waste of a good set of legs.

[Re. homosexuals]

We have to understand: barbarians need to be educated. They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps…

And let’s face it: what is our culture, what is our public education system doing today? They are giving full, wide-open doors to children, not only giving encouragement to think it but to encourage action steps. That’s why when we understand what truly is the percentage of homosexuals in this country, it is small. But by these open doors, I can see and we are experiencing, that it is starting to increase.

Have you noticed that there are no attractive people here? I noticed that a lot, PZ's visit to creation museum with hundreds of students, no attractive people, and sloppily dressed too with weird sloppy haircuts.

Why is that, why is it when I look at young christians I see mostly attractive people well dressed with well maintained haircuts and when I look at young atheists I see the exact opposite? What's going on?

This acceptance of female “pastors” comes straight from Marxist ideology and egalitarianism...it denies Natural Law theory which presupposes a Supreme Being because Marxism hates the concept of God-given rights....they want to be gods and design how woman and men should be....and act and, of course, determine what they should think and how they should think.

They make “unnatural” normal...and people, denying their internal desires which are aligned with natural law (and St. Thomas A. aligned natural law with Christianity)....make them unhappy and addicted to all forms of activities to fill the “abyss” created by an empty soul....frantic to find happiness...but atheists never can. They end up like Freud—pessimists, who are angry at the pathetic condition of human beings on earth. They are miserable and they try to take everyone down with them to validate their pathetic being.

Female pastors....are women-haters....they hate how God designed their bodies...to create life....and weaker than males and more intuned to decide by emotion, rather than intellect. Intellect is the only means to Wisdom and emotions can interfere with this process of reaching Truth. To elevate females to the role of pastor, it to confuse children’s sense of sexual identity....to make everything androgynous and create sexual confusion in the young so they have no clear role models....that is why Marxists want women in combat and on submarines, and they want men to be trained to go against their natural instincts and be trained and conditioned to kill women.....something which should be unnatural to the nature of man.

This ideology that undermines the Christian paradigm is to destroy Western Civilization because it was one which got rid of slavery because of Christian principles and they want to destroy the dignity and respect for humans...so they can eliminate whom they please, like they did in socialist Germany-—by destroying Christianity and the Bonhoeffer’s....This idea of abortion, homosexual marriage, feminism...is to destroy the natural family and the culture of Western Civilization. The Cultural Marxists designed the methodologies in the 30’s and seeped these sick twisted ideas into the textbooks and media.

Everyone needs to understand ideas and where they originate....Marxism is evil and has to be ejected. It denies Natural Law....the best, most productive and flourishing concepts in human history and enshrined in our Constitution of the US.

Trying to say men and women are equal (not under the law) but biologically is stupid and the Big Lie.

Keith Ellison, one of two Muslim members of Congress, has drawn a Tea Party challenger who says she is running because she believes Ellison is a "radical Islamist."

Lynne Torgerson wrote a post last week on the website of Tea Party Nation on the need to ban Shariah in the U.S., and her claim that Ellison sees Islamic law as supreme:

" I, Lynne Torgerson, am running for Congress in Minnesota, against radical Islamist Keith Ellison. Keith Ellison fails to oppose banning Islamic Sharia law in the United States. He accuses people of trying to ban it as "conspiratorilists." [sic] Keith Ellison also fails to support that the United States Constitution should be supreme over Islamic Sharia law. "

Torgerson actually ran last cycle, garnering 4 percent as an independent. A Minneapolis criminal defense attorney, her campaign website was dominated by critiques of Islam:

"And, what do I know of Islam? Well, I know of 911."

its evolutionists that are the idiots, they think we all came from an ape but we keep apes in cages as attractions at zoos, why dont we put ourselves in zoos if we came from apes? apes are just animals, but god made each of us individually and he put in a lot of love into each of us, were more than just animals. evolutionists deny this which is really stupid, god loves us, even the idiot evolutionists who deny him.

Of course the Godless will, for a few more generations, still be there. As long as they’re silenced in the public sphere and cannot enact any change to their benefit, their continued existence is tolerable.

Understand that; your sort is tolerated, as our Constitution and cultures demands. You’re not accepted; you’re not part of the body of America; and you will not be allowed to further harm our nation.

Stay quite and mind your own business and you can lead a long and materially happy life. The pain doesn’t start until you turn against America.

Quote# 82301

I think we need to remember the term sodomy came from a town known as Sodom and Sodom was destroyed by God Almighty and the thing that they practiced was homosexual activity and even they tried to rape angels who came down there, so that's the kind of people they were. But beyond that, Jesus when He spoke of Sodom He didn't say anything about the homosexuality he talked about just the fact that business was as usual until God decided to destroy it. And He sent an angel down there and He said to Lot and his family, ‘get out now because I'm gonna destroy this whole area.' That's where sodomy came from, we use the term sodomy and it means Sodom. What's it like? We're heading that way as a nation. In history there's never been a civilization ever in history that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity, traditional marriage, traditional child-rearing, and has survived. There isn't one single civilization that has survived that openly embraced homosexuality. So you say, "what's going to happen to America?" Well if history is any guide, the same thing's going to happen to us.

With regard to the illegal action of the New York state government, it is more important to understand clearly that the civil government has no authority in area of the free exercise of religion such as marriage. If it has no authority and tries to With exercise power not vested to it, then the state is acting illegally. We need to stand for God's law in the face of the power grab by those in civil authority who know no restraints. New York and the other increasingly socialized states have not only violated God's law, they have also violated their own Constitution and the will of the governed.

When they do that, they are just like King George. They have abdicated their moral and legal authority and are subject to indictment, trial and just punishment. Now, all those who freely exercise their inalienable right to religious faith must stop acting like useful idiots and fellow travelers by going along to get along. Instead, they must stand for their God-given rights by proclaiming loud and clear that these New York government servants have crossed the line into illegal activity that has no authority and makes them criminals.

They started decades ago in conditioning children that it is evil to discriminate. Remember Polyanna...with Haley Mills......it was against preachers calling sin, a sin (he was so MEAN!!!!).....this conditioning has destroyed moral principles....so if you are honest and a true Christian, you get called a bigot and hater.

This is on purpose....we live in a fascist country where we have no freedom of thought or speech. Speech codes and Alinskyite tactics to shut down dialogue is intentional—to destroy us from within so they can create a one world currency and government. It is obvious. Christians are too independent and self-sufficient and responsible....they need dysfunctional people who will willingly be slaves and sell out their fellow man.

It is why they are repealing DADT....to eliminate the Christians...they will have to be silent or kicked out....then our military will be equivalent to the Russian atheists or the Nazi homosexual Brownshirts....inhumane, evil and disgusting—even made Patton puke. Their immorality makes it easy for the government to use them to kill their own citizens...which our Christian military would not have done.

It took generations of demeaning Christians....forcing God out of the schools in the fifties and out of the public square and removing morality from the schools which John Dewey did intentionally. Remove morality from all decisions....when morality and virtue were the reasons Washington set up public schools in the first place.

They replaced God with “feel good, do it”. The cultural Marxists are doing it to create a vulgar, dysfunctional mass of ignorant people who are addicted to their sensual pleasures....they are easy to control with throwing freebees, like abortions, condoms, etc. They just want their drugs and sex and they don’t give a damn about family, relationships and the future. The radical homosexuals are disgusting and evil and selfish narcissists.

1.) Every Catholic in New York needs to petition their Bishop — and the Pope — to have excommunicated any Catholic who voted to instate this abomination. In particular, you MUST target Governor Cuomo.

2.) Every American, not presently a resident in one of the states that has imposed this absurdity, must contact your state representatives to enact legislation that outlaws this practice, and ALSO refuses to recognize any of these “unions” authorized by other states.

3.) Be prepared to use armed force, if necessary, to prevent this from coming to your state.

4.) The reprobate homosexuals have declared war on civilization ... we must respond in kind. Stop them, by any means available, before they exterminate civilization.

This is a life and death struggle. Act accordingly.

Poodles (like all domestic varieties) are the result of a downward process! They have not just developed from dog genes, but from cursed copies of dog genes! Sorry about that—but it is true that dogs like poodles are the result of the Curse! Each time I arrive home and our pet Bichon races to the door to meet me, I am reminded of my sin, that I, in Adam, sinned and ushered in the Fall.
