First They Attacked the Mormons...

"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

I'm not a Mormon, but I've got to speak up.

I think what the gay activists are doing in California is absolutely wrong. Sure, let them fight for what they believe in.  But if they have to resort to bullying , intimidating tactics like they are doing, then something's wrong.

Plus, it's worrying to me. What if I'm in a situation to stand up for my religious beliefs? What will radical activists do to me? Frankly, it is intimidating and scary to me.

Read this article which says it much better than I could.

Yet More of the "New Tolerance"

-
eHarmony has been forced (coerced, pressured) to make matches for gay couples.

How long until all religious organizations must provide for gay couples?

Doesn't it bother you that religious organizations that have as part of their belief system the opposition to gay relationships are more and more forced (coerced, pressured) to compromise their beliefs and accomodate the gay lifestyle, or refuse and face lawsuits?

What organization will be free from this coersion (force, pressure)? Will churches be forced (coerced, pressured) to marry gay couples or face lawsuits and possibly lose their non-profit status?

And if the gay community is successful at forcing (coercing, pressuring) religious organizations to compromise on this tenant of their belief system in order to stay in business, what other groups will then be embolded to force (coerce, pressure) religious organization to compromise other tenants of their beliefs? Will religious organization be forced to completely drop all of their convictions in the face of political correctness and lawsuits?

Where will all this end?

Proposition 8 is Becoming a Flashpoint

-
More of the "new tolerance" on display.

It seems that the current front in our cultural conflict right now is in California with the passage Proposition 8.

Below is a video that shows a pro-gay protest. An elderly lady and a couple of guys approach the group with a large cross. Almost immediately, the group of protestors take the cross and stomp on it, push the lady around a bit, and completely drown out the lady.

Yes, she may have been just trying to bait them, but they sure had no hesitation in taking the bait. Not a pretty scene at all.

Go to McD's Again!

From Concerned Christian Americans:

McDonalds Straightens Up and Fries Right

Because the McDonald’s boycott by American Family Association has been so successful, McDonalds has now told AFA that they will remain neutral in the culture war over marriage. As a result AFA has stopped their McDonald’s boycott, which began in May, after McDonalds joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

McDonald’s Vice President Richard Ellis has resigned from his seat on the board of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, and no one from McDonalds will be replacing him there. McDonalds has also stated that when their membership in the NGLCC ends in December, they will not be renewing it.

An email to the McDonald’s franchise owners, stated: “It is our policy not to be involved in political and social issues. McDonalds remains neutral on same-sex marriage or any ‘homosexual agenda’ as defined by the American Family Association. It would be appropriate to thank your local McDonalds manager for the change in policy by McDonalds. Congratulations to Donald Wildman and the American Family Association for their effective efforts. If you would like to send a note of thanks to the American Family Association, their address is P.O. Drawer 2440, Tupelo, MS, 38803.
