			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_10759" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/01/Wooden_SPLC-Press-Conference_sign_pastors.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-10759" title="Wooden_SPLC Press Conference_sign_pastors" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/01/Wooden_SPLC-Press-Conference_sign_pastors-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pastor Patrick Wooden speaks at last week&#39;s press conference highlighting the SPLC&#39;s anti-Christian &quot;hate group&quot; politics. The AFTAH banner reads: &quot;SPLC: Stop Lying: Christianity is NOT &#39;HATE.&#39;&quot; Click on photo to enlarge slightly.</p></div>
<p>Here is Part Two of AFTAH President <strong>Peter LaBarbera&#8217;s</strong> interview with <strong><a href="http://www.plwooden.org" target="_blank">Dr. Patrick Wooden</a></strong>, pastor at Upper Room Church of God in Christ, in Raleigh, North Carolina [Click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/01/1-21-12-Patrick-Wooden-Part-Two.mp3">HERE to listen</a>, and go <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/16/aftah-interviews-dr-patrick-wooden-part-one/" target="_blank">HERE for Part One</a>.] This was pre-recorded and aired Jan. 21, 2012. Wooden discusses the pastors&#8217; press conference that he led <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/23/splc-press-conference-audio-montgomery-al-january-17-2012/" target="_blank">denouncing the Southern Poverty Law Center&#8217;s</a> &#8220;hate group&#8221; smear-campaign against pro-family groups, including Americans For Truth. Wooden addresses some of the homosexual activist criticisms of Part One of this interview &#8211; in which he touched on the destructive effects of practicing sodomitic perversion (which, he said, should not be compared to skin color). LaBarbera references a Wikipedia entry on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_incontinence" target="_blank">&#8220;fecal incontinence&#8221;</a> that cites this <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1293903/pdf/jrsocmed00100-0024.pdf" target="_blank">1993 study</a> on the ill effects of anal sex. They talk about the <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2012/01/17/anti-gay-haters-plan-press-conference-today-at-splc/" target="_blank">SPLC&#8217;s racist-tinged release</a> on the AFTAH protest. And when Wooden brings up the heinous &#8220;gay&#8221; sex practice of &#8220;fisting,&#8221; LaBarbera recalls the 2000 Massachusetts <a href="http://www.massresistance.org/docs/issues/fistgate/index.html" target="_blank">&#8220;Fistgate&#8221; scandal</a> at a conference sponsored by the <a href="http://www.glsen.org" target="_blank">Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network</a> &#8211; in which homosexual youth were given verbal &#8220;how-to&#8221; instructions by adults on &#8220;fisting&#8221; (hand-arm-rectal &#8220;sex&#8221;). LaBarbera notes that GLSEN never issued a sincere, strong apology for the incident &#8212; and the media double standard that excuses and ignores scandals on the Left.</p>

<p><strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong>, president of <strong>Americans For Truth</strong>, which is sponsoring the press event, recently <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/16/aftah-interviews-dr-patrick-wooden-part-one/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">interviewed Pastor Wooden</span></a>, who said that the SPLC’s gambit of labeling mainstream pro-family groups that oppose homosexual activism as “hate groups” is seriously damaging the SPLC’s credibility. Wooden also debunked the “civil rights” analogy used by “gay” activists, saying it is wrong to compare “my beautiful blackness” with homosexual perversion.</p>
<p>LaBarbera said the SPLC is engaged in a thinly-veiled, one-sided campaign to demonize adherents of traditional Judeo-Christian morality. He noted that despite the considerable hatred and anti-Christian bigotry emanating from homosexual activists (e.g., <strong>Dan Savage’s</strong> vile hate-site, <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/05/labarbera-asks-homosexual-activist-dan-savage-to-take-down-cyber-bullying-site-santorum-com/">Santorum[dot]com</a>), the SPLC has never labeled a “gay” organization or website as “hateful.”<strong></strong></p>

<p>This is Part One of my interview [click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/01/1-14-12-Patrick-Wooden-Part-One.mp3" target="_blank">HERE</a> to listen] with <strong><a href="http://plwooden.org/" target="_blank">Dr. Patrick Wooden</a></strong>, pastor at <a href="http://upperroomgospel.org/" target="_blank">Upper Room Church of God in Christ</a>, in Raleigh, NC. This interview was pre-recorded and aired January 14, 2012. Pastor Wooden will be leading a contingent of African American pastors at an AFTAH-sponsored press conference Tuesday, Jan. 17 outside of the headquarters of the <strong>Southern Poverty Law Center</strong> in Montgomery, AL. The SPLC infamously labeled Americans For Truth and several other Christian pro-family groups as &#8220;hate groups&#8221; due to their strong opposition to the homosexual activist lobby. (Other groups smeared by the SPLC include <a href="http://www.frc.org" target="_blank">Family Research Council</a>, <a href="http://www.afa.net" target="_blank">American Family Association</a> and <strong>Scott Lively&#8217;s</strong> <a href="http://www.abidingtruth.com" target="_blank">Abiding Truth Ministries</a>.)</p>
<p>Wooden is a leader in the effort to preserve the definition of marriage <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/14/us/north-carolina-voters-to-decide-on-same-sex-marriage.html?_r=1" target="_blank">constitutionally in North Carolina</a> as one man, one woman &#8212; and he is regularly tarred as a <a href="http://www.pamspaulding.com/weblog/2004/12/local-bigot-pastor-spends-7600-on.html" target="_blank">&#8220;bigot&#8221;</a> and &#8220;homophobe&#8221; by homosexual activists in his state. Here he debunks the LGBT analogy of &#8220;gay rights&#8221; to Black civil rights &#8212; affirming that there is no connection between &#8220;my beautiful blackness&#8221; and deviant sexual behavior condemned by God. (Last year, Wooden interviewed me at his church in Raleigh; go <a href="http://www.plwooden.org" target="_blank">HERE</a> and click link for the video, &#8220;Fighting Homosexuality in America.&#8221;) &#8211; <strong>Peter LaBarbera, <a href="http://www.aftah.org">www.aftah.org</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is an appearance from last Summer of my friend <strong>Randy Thomasson</strong> of <a href="http://www.SaveCalifornia.com" target="_blank">SaveCalifornia.com</a>, on Sacramento&#8217;s Fox-40&#8242;s live morning show (July 18, 2011). Randy has become a fervent advocate of parents pulling their children out of the public schools, especially in the wake of passage a <a href="http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0001-0050/sb_48_bill_20110714_chaptered.pdf" target="_blank">SB 48</a>, a California bill that mandates the teaching of homosexual, bisexual and transgender historical figures (read: pro-&#8221;gay&#8221;-activist history) in K-12 schools. The law went into effect January 1, 2012. Note Randy&#8217;s allusion to the law&#8217;s prohibition on negative information about homosexuality, which refers to the portion of the law that amends the Cal. Education Code as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>51501. The state board and any governing board shall not adopt any textbooks or other instructional materials for use in the public schools that contain any matter reflecting adversely upon persons on the basis of race or ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, or because of a characteristic listed in Section 220.</strong></p></blockquote>

<p>This is Part One of <strong>Peter LaBarbera&#8217;s</strong> interview with <strong>John McCartney</strong>, AFTAH&#8217;s newest Board Member [Click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/12-31-11-John-McCartney.mp3" target="_blank">HERE to listen</a>]. It was pre-recorded and aired on WYLL AM-1160 in Chicagoland Dec. 31, 2011. McCartney is a retired English teacher who has lived in Chicago for almost 50 years. He discusses the media&#8217;s pro-&#8221;gay&#8221; bias and how one-sided journalism enables pro-homosexual propaganda to go unchallenged. For years, McCartney has sought to break through the media&#8217;s and academia&#8217;s pro-homosexual information blockade by reaching high school and college students directly with facts and truth about the homosexual lifestyle and LGBT activism. He says the reason so many people buy into homosexualist propaganda (e.g., the &#8220;born that way&#8221; myth) is that they simply have not been exposed to facts about homosexuality that would give them a more balanced perspective. You can listen to AFTAH&#8217;s previous interview last year with McCartney and <strong>Wayne Lela</strong> <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/07/23/part-one-interview-with-john-mccartney-and-wayne-lela/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>In Obama&#8217;s Navy, lesbians get the traditional &#8220;first kiss&#8221;</em></span></h4>
<p><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Obama-Navy-First-Kiss-Lesbian-Tumblr-smaller-shot-BLOCKED1.png"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10472" style="border: 0.5px solid black;" title="Obama-Navy-First-Kiss-Lesbian-Tumblr-smaller-shot-BLOCKED" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Obama-Navy-First-Kiss-Lesbian-Tumblr-smaller-shot-BLOCKED1-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Below is a redacted copy of <a href="http://barackobama.tumblr.com/post/14617298293/us-navy-women-kiss" target="_blank"><strong>President Barack Obama&#8217;s</strong> Campaign 2012 Tumblr page</a> celebrating another tragic &#8220;first&#8221; for his Administration: the traditional Naval &#8221;first kiss&#8221; following a ship&#8217;s return to port occurred Dec. 21 between two women &#8211; as opposed to the normal and natural male-female spousal kiss.  The AP photo below (covered up here by AFTAH for the sake of decency) appeared worldwide, and <strong>Obama</strong> reposted it along with a portion of the story as it appeared in the British newspaper <em><a href="http://guardian.tumblr.com/post/14610987213/us-navy-women-kiss" target="_blank">The Guardian</a></em>. As you can read in the (typically one-sided) <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20111221/us-navy-gay-kiss/" target="_blank">AP story</a>, <strong>David Bauer</strong>, commanding office of the <strong>USS Oak Hill</strong>, was in cahoots with this homosexuals-in-the-military promotional stunt, telling AP that the crew was fine with the lesbians&#8217; selection. Said Bauer of the publicly perverse kiss: <strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to happen and the crew&#8217;s going to enjoy it.&#8221; </strong>(That&#8217;s an order!)</p>
<p>It must be remembered that despite Western modernists&#8217; curious obsession with homosexuality, this lesbian kiss is indecent by historic moral and religious (Judeo-Christian) standards. We are tempted to say <em>Shame on the President</em>, but it is all too obvious by now that this Commander-in-Chief sees no shame in celebrating sexual deviance (sin) &#8211; even open displays like this. (Obama infamously pooh-poohed a <a href="http://republicansforfamilyvalues.com/2008/10/23/theology-expert-says-obama-grossly-distorts-scriptures-to-support-homosexual-cause/" target="_blank">New Testament passage in Romans</a> that clearly proscribes lesbianism and male homosexual acts.) Liberals cannot rewrite the moral code nor can they redefine decency to accommodate anything-goes sexuality.</p>
<p>Now Obama and the Democrats have ensured that wherever public displays of affection between married spouses and boyfriends-and-girlfriends occur, indecent spectacles like this will be in close proximity. Military moms and dads: be prepared to block the eyes of your little ones at reunions and all<em> formerly wholesome</em> military functions. Should God Bless <em>this</em> America?&#8211; <strong>Peter LaBarbera, <a href="http://www.aftah.org">www.aftah.org</a> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_10472" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 574px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Obama-Navy-First-Kiss-Lesbian-Tumblr-smaller-shot-BLOCKED1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-10472" title="Obama-Navy-First-Kiss-Lesbian-Tumblr-smaller-shot-BLOCKED" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Obama-Navy-First-Kiss-Lesbian-Tumblr-smaller-shot-BLOCKED1.png" alt="" width="564" height="610" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Obama Tumblr entry acclaims the first-ever lesbian &quot;first kiss&quot; in the Navy. Traditionally in American cullture, open displays of homosexual behavior, a perversion, have been considered indecent. Here we have placed a box over the AP photo, which was widely published.</p></div>

<p>________________________________________</p>
<p>By Peter LaBarbera, Dec. 24, 2011</p>
<p>I hope you are having a blessed Christmas season and enjoying spending time with your family during this special season that reminds us of God’s great love for mankind: <strong>“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”</strong> (John 3:16)</p>
<p>Three lesser-known verses follow that point to belief in Jesus as the key to salvation and eternal life: <strong>“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”</strong> (John 3:17-19)</p>
<p>This has been a challenging year for <strong>Americans For Truth</strong>, as we prepare for some big changes that will put us on solid footing to continue for decades in our unique calling of telling the unvarnished truth about a Sin Movement that calls itself “gay.”</p>
<p>Like previous years, 2011 saw the aggressive homosexual-transsexual lobby grow more arrogant, intolerant and anti-Christian with each passing day &#8212; commensurate with its expanding power and utter lack of accountability from the liberal media. But since Christmas Day is just around the corner, I’ll hold off on recounting the lowlights of 2011 until next week. <strong>Incidentally, this is AFTAH’s 2,000th web post: thank you to all who make our work possible through your generous gifts and prayers! [To give to AFTAH, click </strong><a href="http://www.aftah.org/donate/"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">HERE</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size: small;">.]</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Jesus is the reason…</strong></span></p>
<p>Instead, I’d like to talk about <strong>Jesus Christ</strong>. My mother, who has passed away, used to love this rejoinder to the fluff and commercialism surrounding Christmas: <strong>“Jesus is the reason for the season.”</strong> As much as I love the Christmas season, the secular- and Santa overkill surrounding the holiday only accentuates the trivialization of deep spiritual truth that plagues our nation. These days, even non-Christians recognize that America is in a severe moral crisis – yet unlike our fiscal woes, the secular media block any serious discussion of this social and spiritual malady.</p>
<p>Many give lip service to Jesus, without personal faith, out of sense of history and cultural tradition. “Cultural Christians,” we call them. But the Left has long recognized the value of using Christian idealism to advance its ungodly agendas, e.g., communism. In recent years, the self-styled “queer” lobby has latched on to this strategy – pushing the full homosexualist and gender confusion agenda in the name of “civil rights,” “social justice,” and even morality.</p>
<p>Yes, advocates of sexual sin (masquerading as civil rights crusaders) now embrace Jesus, too. Heck, the <strong>Human Rights Campaign (HRC)</strong>, the world’s most powerful homosexual lobby group, has an online, pro-LGBT Bible study! (Here is one Christmas lesson from <a href="http://sites.hrc.org/scripture/?page=12-24-07"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">“Out in the Scriptures”</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">; note the curious analogy to Mary and emphasis on “gay” victimization.)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Proudly ‘Gay’ Christians?</strong></span></p>
<p>Another ominous development is the rise of a proud “gay Christian” movement &#8212; which to me makes about as much sense as the “Christian porn-users” movement or “Adulterers for Christ.” It just doesn’t work, biblically speaking (see <a href="http://www.robgagnon.net/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">www.RobGagnon.net</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">). Some who take part in this movement are just spiritually confused people, but others are cunning strategists attempting to co-opt Christ and manipulate Bible-believing Christians to win the Culture War. That means sounding more religious and moral in this religious nation, a tactic I saw being honed at the <strong>National Gay and Lesbian Task Force</strong> organizing conference I attended undercover earlier this year. </span></p>
<p><span id="more-10480"></span>To get an idea of how outrageous and blasphemous the proud homosexualist movement can be, watch this <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2007/04/12/satans-talking-points-human-rights-campaigns-harry-knox-promotes-ultimate-big-lie-in-msnbc-debate-with-cwas-matt-barber/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">bizarre claim</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> by former HRC staff (and Obama appointee) <strong>Harry Knox</strong>, who calls his homosexuality a “gift from God” that he would never want to give back out of “respect” for his creator. I got hammered by homosexual activists for calling this quotation “</span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2007/04/12/satans-talking-points-human-rights-campaigns-harry-knox-promotes-ultimate-big-lie-in-msnbc-debate-with-cwas-matt-barber/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Satan’s Talking Points</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">” – but I stand by it because Satan is the one who turns evil into good (</span><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+5%3A20&amp;version=NIV"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Isaiah 5:20</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">) and vice versa. Satan attempts to deceive mankind into following sin rather than the Real Jesus, and he does it by making it seem as natural and harmless as possible.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Media mendacity</strong></span></p>
<p>Many jaded secularists and progressives can accept or even rally behind an ambiguous “Jesus” who champions homosexual “rights” – but not One whose followers who are called by Him to resist organized sexual sin. The same Left and cynical media that go gaga over the modern absurdity of “same-sex marriage” simply will not accept a Jesus who invades the life of sinners to lead them out of their bondage (addiction) to the homosexual lifestyle – people like <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/06/14/aftah-interview-with-stephen-black-part-one/"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Stephen Black</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: small;"> and </span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2007/10/11/ex-lesbian-charlene-cothran-tells-aftah-banquet-that-born-gay-claim-is-vicious-lie/"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Charlene Cothran</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: small;">.</span></p>
<p>One almost comical indication of media mendacity is the spectacle of professional journalists – and I use that term liberally &#8212; regurgitating homosexual propagandist <a href="http://www.truthwinsout.org/"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Wayne Besen’s</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: small;"> cynical </span><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/michele-bachmann-exclusive-pray-gay-candidates-clinic/story?id=14048691#.TvYfu9SXSHg"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">“Pray Away the Gay”</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: small;"> slogan. This little chunk of semantic bigotry is obviously intended to ridicule people trying to overcome homosexuality with God’s help. (Would the media ever malign Christian ministries trying to help drug addicts go clean through prayer by calling them “Pray Away the Drugs”?) Reality check: many men and women have left </span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/03/04/aftah-interview-with-greg-quinlan-part-one/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">male homosexuality</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">, </span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2007/06/22/ex-lesbian-yvette-schneider-testifies-to-complete-and-permanent-change/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">lesbianism</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> and </span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/08/26/aftah-interview-with-walt-heyer-part-four/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">transgenderism</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> behind after being born-again through the Lord Jesus Christ &#8212; living out (like all believers in the Messiah) this wondrous New Testament truth: <strong>“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” </strong>(2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Tim Tebow and the Real Jesus</strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_10505" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/tim-tebow-Ephesians-2-8-10.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-10505" title="tim-tebow-Ephesians-2-8-10: &quot;For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.&quot;" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/tim-tebow-Ephesians-2-8-10-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tim Tebow proclaims Ephesians 2:8-10 on the field: &quot;For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast....&quot;</p></div>
<p>The current fascination with and controversy surrounding <strong>Tim Tebow</strong> exposes the spiritual shallowness of America’s elite-driven culture. The secular Left can’t believe that a man would actually live his very public life unashamedly to glorify and honor Jesus Christ. (Why, he’s even a virgin!) “Stop the Jesus talk,” they plead, as Tebow breaks the liberal speech code by refusing to hide his faith behind the walls of a church. Doesn’t he know that only secular “religions” like radical environmentalism, “animal rights,” sports fanaticism and “gay marriage” merit such public adoration?</p>
<p>For so many in this culture that once called itself “Christian,” the attitude seems to be: <strong>Jesus who?</strong>  We don’t want Jesus in our lives because Jesus – at least the biblical Jesus – might cause us to reflect on our sins and the self-centered way we are living. Better to make Him a quaint relic of a bygone era – not relevant to our modern era of sophistication, “diversity” and science.</p>
<p>In so many quarters – especially where liberalism runs deep &#8212; people behave as if Jesus is not Real &#8212; and that His Word, the Bible, is not the holy guidebook for life. The modern liberals’ Jesus has no authority – and the Bible, like our Constitution, is constantly “evolving” in its meaning. Thus, if the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/11/presbyterian-church-gay-clergy_n_860289.html"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Presbyterian Church USA</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> wants to ordain <em>practicing homosexuals</em>, well, why not if they can get the votes?!</span></p>
<p>On the political front, it is commonplace these days for openly religious (“Christian”) politicians – from whatever denomination – to become shills for homosexuality, abortion-on-demand and other social evils. (Ditto for phony “orthodox” Jews like Sen. Joe Lieberman, who manages to wear his piety on his sleeve and be a crusader for homosexual activist legislation at the same time.)</p>
<p>At least the atheists – reprehensible as their ideology is &#8212; are honest about their disdain for God. So many religious people try to have it both ways.</p>
<p><strong>Jesus matters.</strong> The less authority He and His Holy Word, the Bible, have in the United States of America, the more our society will deteriorate. We’re seeing that today: our movies and entertainment have become a moral sewer where <em>anything</em> goes. Anything, that is, except the repudiation of liberal groupthink on sexual sin, especially homosexuality. (Don’t look for a successful, happy ex-“gay” on the Big Screen any time soon.)</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Jesus Christ-lite?</strong></span></p>
<p>So loathe are we to judge in Politically Correct America that even many Christian believers are afraid to speak up when apostasy rears its head.</p>
<div id="attachment_10503" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Marin-Im-Sorry-Gay-Pride-Parade-campaign.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-10503" style="margin: 5px;" title="Marin-Im-Sorry-Gay-Pride-Parade-campaign" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Marin-Im-Sorry-Gay-Pride-Parade-campaign.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Controversial Christian &quot;evangelist&quot; Andrew Marin goes to Chicago Gay Pride parades and says &quot;I&#39;m Sorry&quot; to celebrating homosexuals. Bible-and-homosexuality authority Prof. Rob Gagnon says Marin&#39;s application of Scripture is thoroughly confused.</p></div>
<p>Some Christians have become “nicer than Jesus” by attempting to reconcile “gay rights” with biblical Christianity. (Perhaps I should say “meaner than Jesus” since they undermine Scriptural Truth.) Liberal evangelical <strong><a href="http://www.themarinfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Andrew Marin</a></strong> has bought into the lie of “sexual orientation” – which is nowhere to be found in the Bible. A symbol of the guilt-ridden, emasculated Church, Marin and his followers offer frequent and vocal public <a href="http://www.themarinfoundation.org/imsorry/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">apologies to homosexuals</span></a>. Every year at the <strong>Chicago “Gay Pride” parade</strong> (a boisterous and bawdy street celebration of “out and proud” homosexuality), Marin holds up a sign that reads, <strong>“I’m sorry. I used to be a Bible-banging homophobe.”</strong> Of course, no matter how &#8220;sensitive&#8221; and &#8220;nice&#8221; Marin and his followers are, it never will be quite enough to satisfy homosexual activists, who demand total capitulation to and celebration of their lifestyle. [See one pro-"gay" Marin critic <a href="http://globalcomment.com/2010/the-marin-foundation-still-banging/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.] These poor souls don&#8217;t need more apologies; they need to humble themselves and repent (turn away from their sin) before the Lord (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%206:8-10&amp;version=NIV" target="_blank">1 Corinthians 6</a>).</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In other words, homosexuals need Christians who love them enough to tell them the <em>whole</em> Truth, not some Politically Correct bastardization of Scripture. [R</span><span style="font-size: small;">ead Pittsburgh Theological Seminary Professor <strong><a href="http://www.robgagnon.net" target="_blank">Rob Gagnon’s</a></strong> thorough refutation of Marin’s confused theology </span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/09/05/prof-rob-gagnon-takes-andrew-marin-to-school-on-the-bible-and-homosexuality/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">; see Part Two of AFTAH's radio interview with Gagnon <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/09/15/aftah-interview-with-professor-rob-gagnon/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.]</span></p>
<p>Marin has aligned with fellow “evangeliberals” like <strong>Peggy Campolo</strong> (wife of popular evangelical speaker <strong>Tony Campolo</strong>), who posted a video on Marin’s website with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFXDz7tJHao"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">her own “I’m sorry” message</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">. I wonder if Mrs. Campolo will ever apologize (repent) to Jesus Christ for her anti-biblical embrace of “same-sex marriage” &#8212; and when will Andy say “I’m sorry” to God for confusing believers and non-believers alike about the Bible’s clear prohibition of all homosexual behavior. </span></p>
<p>In the same spirit of elevating ambiguity over the Scriptures’ clear teaching on homosexuality and sexual sin, the influential <strong>Willow Creek Community Church</strong> has quietly dumped its “ex-gay” ministry – coincidentally after a radical homosexual group, Soulforce, met with WCCC leaders and asked them to do just that. (AFTAH has led <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/08/12/aftah-protests-willow-creeks-lack-of-biblical-leadership-in-breaking-with-ex-gay-ministry/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">sign protests</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> at Willow Creek’s South Barrington, Illinois mega-campus, calling attention to Willow’s unbiblical compromise; also see </span><a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com/7753/willow-creek-unfolding-kinder-gentler-apostasy"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-size: small;">this article by <strong>DL Foster</strong></span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;">, who runs a terrific blog monitoring the false “gay Christian” movement and who himself overcame homosexuality through Christ [I interviewed DL Foster for AFTAH </span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/11/02/part-one-aftah-interview-with-d-l-foster-of-gay-christian-movement-watch/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">].)</span></p>
<p>Meanwhile, over at <a href="http://www.gcc.edu/Contact_Us_1.php"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Grove City College</span></strong></a>, which boasts about its “authentically Christian” character, a strange, new phenomenon has taken hold: ostensibly thoroughly “evangelical,” Grove City employs a professor, <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/11/01/labarbera-asks-grove-city-college-professor-warren-throckmorton-to-apologize-for-pro-homosexual-advocacy/"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Warren Throckmorton</span></strong></a><span style="font-size: small;">, who went from being a pro-family advocate to a pro-homosexual activist &#8212; pushing the idea that <em>most</em> </span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/19/magazine/therapists-who-help-people-stay-in-the-closet.html?_r=1&amp;pagewanted=all"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">homosexuals cannot change</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> (their &#8220;sexual orientation&#8221;). Throckmorton’s position challenges the very essence of the Gospel: Jesus Christ’s regenerative power to change people’s lives. Nevertheless, various attempts to hold GCC accountable for the wayward professor’s “gay”- affirming po<em>sitions</em> (including </span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/03/11/grove-city-prof-warren-throckmorton-admits-support-for-homosexual-civil-unions/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">support for same-sex “civil unions”</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">) have been futile.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>‘Conservatives’ for sin?</strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_10507" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 269px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Margaret_Hoover-FOX.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-10507" title="Margaret_Hoover-FOX" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Margaret_Hoover-FOX.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="195" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Libertarian Republicans like Margaret Hoover are pushing the GOP to support homosexual &quot;marriage.&quot;</p></div>
<p>In the political world, where polls and the media carry far greater authority than Scripture, adherence to a principled, God-honoring position on homosexuality is falling apart. The libertarians are busy seducing Republicans into affirming “same-sex marriage” in the name of liberty and monogamy &#8212; cheered on by LGBT-adoring media who have a special place in their heart for right-wingers who sell out on social issues. (Challenge for libertarians: what about citizens&#8217; liberty of conscience and religion in the face of the Pro-Homosexuality State?) [See FOX News contributor <strong>Margaret Hoover</strong> arguing for “gay marriage” <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/01/15/margaret-hoover-gay-marriage-san-francisco-ted-olsen/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">.]</span></p>
<p>Conservatives stop “conserving” (biblical) truth when they become beholden to Republican Party politics in an age when sexual morality and, well, normalcy are no longer hip. How do you explain icons on the Right like <strong>Ann Coulter, Michael Barone</strong> and <strong>Tucker Carlson</strong> advocating a “conservative” version of homosexuality? (<a href="http://www.anncoulter.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Coulter</span></a><a href="http://www.towleroad.com/2011/08/coultergoproud.html"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">joined the Advisory Board of GOProud</span></a>, a pro-GOP homosexual activist group, and left the radical homosexual agenda largely out of “Demonic,” her book on liberal mob-politics; <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/275145/our-gay-marriage-experiment-michael-barone"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Barone</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> is floating the idea of Republicans embracing “gay marriage” to lure young voters; and </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Carlson</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> supports homosexual “marriage” as a “civilizing” force for homosexuals.) </span></p>
<p>Call me an idealist, but whatever happened to pursuing a policy because it’s morally right – before our holy Creator God – rather than pandering to the fickle whims and corrupt social trends of sinful men? God does not support &#8216;Republican homosexuality&#8217; any more than the Democratic variety.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Abomination, or identity?</strong></span></p>
<p>That’s the funny thing about an abomination: it cannot be redeemed through politics or attachment to noble institutions like marriage. (Rather, it degrades both.) Like abortion, pornography and adultery (and racism, promiscuity, incest and [<em>insert SIN here</em>]<em>),</em> homosexuality is just plain wrong. Even pagans understand this &#8212; because <strong>Nature itself discriminates against homosexual behavior</strong>, e.g., with its inability to procreate and the astonishingly disproportionate linkage between <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/03/16/gay-mens-hiv-rate-44-times-that-of-other-men-syphilis-rate-46-times-higher/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">men practicing homosexuality and sex diseases</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">.</span></p>
<p>As whacked and dysfunctional as <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2007/06/27/angry-mob-assaults-peaceful-christians-at-chicago-gay-pride-parade/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Gay Pride Parades</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> are, high-profile “conservatives” and Christians who help mainstream homosexuality (read: “gay/lesbian/trans” identities) do more damage to the cause of Truth than a thousand burly men in high heels strutting down Main Street. These “conservatives” need to get back to the Real Jesus and to critiquing the </span><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/06/16/aftah-interview-with-kinsey-exposer-dr-judith-reisman-part-one/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Kinsey-ite</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Sexual Revolution that is dragging America into the cultural pit. </span></p>
<p>But if homosexuality-embracing conservatives operating in the mostly secular world of politics and media do so much damage, how much more so Christian leaders who manage to convince people that the same Jesus (God) who calls <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/08/05/keep-the-gay-blood-ban-california-aids-flier-exposes-extreme-risks-of-homosexual-sex/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">sex between men “detestable”</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> would be standing right beside the LGBT lobby crusading for homosexual “marriage”? Shame.</span></p>
<p>Get thee behind Me, Satan! (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+16%3A23&amp;version=NIV"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">Matthew 16:23</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">)</span></p>
<p>There is no innocuous “gay” identity any more than there is a “porn” identity or a promiscuous (“swinger”) identity. Sin cannot be nuanced or prettied it up before God – no matter how many campaigns are waged on its behalf. And if we negate sin, we negate Jesus – the One who came to earth to die for our sins. Humble acknowledgement of our sinful state draws us to the Savior – initially resulting in our salvation through repentance, and then continually as believers in Christ.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Counter-cultural Jesus</strong></span></p>
<div id="attachment_10509" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/after_the_ball_cover.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-10509" title="after_the_ball_cover" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/after_the_ball_cover.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="293" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The marketing campaign to mainstream homosexual behavior is one of the most amazing and yet outrageous in human history. This homosexual-authored book &quot;After the Ball&quot; helped set out a marketing strategy for &quot;gay rights.&quot;</p></div>
<p>The Real Jesus is counter-cultural. Christians are called to demonstrate Radical Love and Radical Truth toward people practicing homosexuality. We must hate homosexual practice and advocacy as sin, without hating those who struggle with this unnatural temptation. In fact, we must show them supernatural grace. That’s the Jesus way.</p>
<p>In a free society, Christians should resist wicked homosexual militants and groups, and organized evil in general. That means standing up in whatever way you can to the well-funded and powerful homosexualist movement that pursues, with cult-like devotion, its goal of rationalizing same-sex identities and behavior. We must admonish impressionable youth &#8212; and the wider culture – that it is a false and unbiblical to cast homosexuality as “who you are,” as opposed to a behavioral sin that people can fall into.</p>
<p>The “gay” marketing campaign to redefine sexual perversion as a civil right is in one of the most spectacularly successful anti-God movements in human history. But it is still wrong. As a faithful Christian, you must be willing to stand <em>with God</em> and against sinful men, even if that means you will be called a name or suffer for righteousness’ sake.</p>
<p>Sadly, America is a nation and civilization in steep decline. And, as historians like the late <strong>Will Durant</strong> asserted, societal acceptance of homosexuality and sexual immorality are a sign of that decline. We have forsaken our nation’s biblical birthright. Now our <strong>President, Barack Obama</strong> and his Secretary of State, <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> – both professing Christians &#8212; are spitting in God’s eye by pledging to <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/12/08/aftah-says-obamas-and-hillarys-international-%E2%80%98gay-rights%E2%80%99-push-will-only-alienate-nations-who-reject-americas-moral-corruption/"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">promote homosexuality abroad</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> as a “human right” – just as the Left previously fought to use American money and influence to promote abortion in foreign countries. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Christian integrity</strong></span></p>
<p>These dark times call out for integrity in the Body of Christ. The smug secularists on the Left (and Right) will cast us as prudes, or self-righteous know-it-alls – or Bible-thumping know-nothings! But the truth is we are flawed followers of a holy God trying earnestly to be faithful to His inerrant Word. Christians are called to trust and obey Jesus Christ, not the culture, in an age in which so many elites and celebrities think they know better than God. They don’t.</p>
<p>The Jesus Way is to say, “No, I will not support in any way a behavior that my Lord calls sinful.” And while we take our stand, we must continuously point men and women – and brainwashed youth – to the One who came in a manger to Bethlehem so many years ago. The One who came to earth specifically to die in our place – and who now sits in glory at the <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2016&amp;version=NASB"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">right hand of His heavenly Father</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">. </span></p>

That link also contains a YouTube of Hillary Clinton&#8217;s UN speech.</p>
<p><strong>Hillary Clinton&#8217;s &#8220;Human Rights Day&#8221; Speech</strong></p>
<p>By Laurie Higgins, reprinted from <a href="http://www.illinoisfamily.org/news/contentview.asp?c=35460" target="_blank">Illinois Family Institute</a>; originally published 12/8/11</p>
<p>On Dec. 6, 2011 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered a speech in honor of International Human Rights Day which is celebrated on Dec. 10, the date in 1948 when the United Nations formally adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But as we should have expected from a representative of the fervently pro-perversion Obama Administration, Clinton used the occasion to promulgate unproven, liberal assumptions about homosexuality and Gender Identity Disorder (GID).</p>
<p>With the usual cunning of the Left, Clinton begins her speech by referring to the &#8220;beating, terrorizing, and executing&#8221; of homosexuals, but then with some skillful bait-and-switch rhetoric, she starts talking about undefined &#8220;discrimination.&#8221; Such a speech would be justified if Clinton were actually concerned only with real human rights abuses such as draconian laws that call for the execution of homosexuals or for acts of violence ignored by police. But anyone familiar with the incoherent world of &#8220;progressivism,&#8221; understands that moral disapproval of homosexual acts becomes &#8220;discrimination&#8221; which ineluctably results in &#8220;bullying&#8221; or &#8220;terrorizing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Clinton&#8217;s repeated use of the absurd comparison of race to homosexuality reveals that intelligence is no guarantee of wisdom. Even really smart people often hold ignorant and foolish ideas. Whereas race is 100 percent heritable, in all cases immutable, and has no behavioral implications that are amenable to moral evaluation, homosexuality is not biologically determined, is in some cases changeable, and is constituted by volitional acts that are legitimate objects of moral evaluation. Someone should ask Clinton to explain the ways she believes race is analogous to homosexuality.</p>
<p><span id="more-10463"></span>Clinton asserts that &#8220;Because we are human, we therefore have rights. And because we have rights, governments are bound to protect them.&#8221; Of course, she spent little time explaining exactly what rights she believes all people are entitled to because they&#8217;re human. She referred ambiguously to &#8220;the full measure of liberty, the full experience of dignity, and the full benefits of humanity,&#8221; [emphasis added] which sounds benign enough. To progressives, however, such noble phrases don&#8217;t mean only freedom from involuntary servitude, free speech, or the right to vote. To homosexual activists and their ideological allies, the &#8220;full measure of liberty, the full experience of dignity, and the full benefits of humanity&#8221; demands, for example, that they be given the unilateral right to reconstruct the legal definition of marriage.</p>
<p>Since Clinton can&#8217;t appeal to reason, she pulls on the heartstrings of those in her audience for whom &#8220;feelings&#8221; trump moral reason: &#8220;We need to ask ourselves, &#8216;How would it feel if it were a crime to love the person I love?&#8217;&#8221; If there are laws somewhere in the world that criminalize &#8220;love,&#8221; I haven&#8217;t heard of them. There are countries around the world that have unjust marital laws, but marital laws &#8212; just and unjust &#8212; prohibit acts, not feelings.</p>
<p>Here in the U.S., we have laws that prohibit polyamorists from marrying all the people they love, but there are no laws that criminalize their love. We have laws that prohibit close blood relatives from marrying, but there are no laws that criminalize their love. And most states have just and reasonable marital laws that prohibit men from marrying men and women from marrying women, but there are no laws that criminalize their love.</p>
<p>Clinton alludes to the Obama Administration&#8217;s troubling intention to withhold foreign aid from countries that don&#8217;t share the moral views of American &#8220;progressives&#8221; on homosexuality and cross-dressing and of the Obama administration&#8217;s creation of a Global Equality Fund which will use $3 million of taxpayer money to fund homosexuality-affirming efforts around the world. Peter Sprigg aptly describes this as &#8220;cultural imperialism.&#8221; The Obama Administration is using our taxes to disseminate non-factual, fallacious moral, philosophical, and political propositions throughout the world.</p>
<p>Clinton shared that she has experienced a &#8220;deepening&#8221; of her convictions about homosexuality as she has &#8220;devoted more thought to it, engaged in dialogues and debates, and established personal and professional relationships with people who are gay.&#8221; In the past, Secretary Clinton has been open about her Christian faith, and in this speech, she shared that her &#8220;religious belief and practice is a vital source of meaning and identity, and fundamental to who&#8221; she is. One wonders if in all her dialogues, debates, and thinking, she ever seriously studied the work of scholars throughout the history of the church on the topic of homosexuality. Since prior to the late 20th Century, no Old Testament or New Testament scholar affirmed what some refer to as &#8220;gay theology,&#8221; it&#8217;s surprising to see intelligent people like Clinton (and Obama) embracing what many of the best scholars, including contemporary biblical scholars, would consider heresy.</p>
<p>Clinton concluded with these words: &#8220;As it has happened so many times before, opinion will converge once again with the truth, the immutable truth, that all persons are created free and equal in dignity and rights.&#8221; Ever the diplomat, Clinton implies without explicitly stating that her beliefs about the nature and morality of homosexuality are &#8220;immutable truths.&#8221; Whereas it is true that all humans are equal in worth and dignity, it is not true that all beliefs and behavioral choices are equal in worth or dignity. The troubling notion that permeates Clinton&#8217;s speech is that a society that honors the dignity and liberty of all must embrace the ontological and moral beliefs of homosexuals.</p>
<p>For progressives, powerful, persistent feelings and volitional acts &#8212; at least powerful, persistent homosexual feelings and acts &#8212; are constitutive of identity and inherently moral. For progressives, to believe such feelings are disordered and such acts immoral represents an act of illegitimate discrimination against persons. But Christians understand that in this fallen world, our feelings are disordered, our will perverted, and our intellect corrupted &#8212; hence the need for laws.</p>
<p>And on that point [<a href="http://www.illinoisfamily.org" target="_blank">Illinois Family Institute</a>, and Americans For Truth agree] with Secretary Clinton who accurately stated that &#8220;progress comes from changes in laws&#8230;. Laws have a teaching effect.&#8221; The question is, will America have laws that embody and teach truth &#8212; or not?</p>

This interview &#8211; Part One of a two-part interview with <strong>Paul Blair</strong>, pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, and <strong>Matt Barber</strong>, Director of Cultural Affairs at <a href="http://www.lc.org" target="_blank">Liberty Counsel</a> &#8211; aired Dec. 10, 2011. Blair recently was on the receiving end of some scary death threats and vile hate calls targeting his wife &#8211; which were phoned in to his church right after he&#8217;d testified against a pro-homosexual &#8220;Sexual Orientation&#8221; ordinance in Oklahoma City.

Barber discusses the pattern of homosexual activist aggression that aims to intimidate Christians and others into silence on this critical moral issue.

Go to the <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/americans-for-truth-hour/" target="_blank">AFTAH Radio Hour Archive</a> for the rest of this very informative interview. In the course of AFTAH President <strong>Peter LaBarbera&#8217;s</strong> interview with Lively, the two discussed:</p>
<ul>
<li>The dire state of the American Christian Church vis-a-vis the aggressive movement to normalize homosexual behavior and gender confusion in the culture;</li>
<li>The &#8220;terror&#8221; tactics and aggressive campaigns used by homosexual activists to intimidate good people into silence on this issue;</li>
<li>Lively&#8217;s personal experience with the dirty tactics and lies used by radical LGBT activists against pro-family leaders attempting to stop the &#8220;gay&#8221; revolution (including one notorious fake &#8220;anti-gay hate crime&#8221; in Oregon). Lively more than almost any pro-family conservative alive today has experienced these tactics firsthand in more than 20 years of working on the front lines (here and abroad) against the homosexualist agenda;</li>
<li>The futility of relying on politics and the courts to contain the advance of government-backed homosexuality &#8212; and how many &#8220;ministry-minded&#8221; or apathetic believers are woefully naive about the Culture War raging on this issue;</li>
<li>The campaign of lies used by pro-homosexual militants (and repeated by the media) to smear Lively and others as allegedly supporting the murder of homosexuals in Uganda;</li>
<li>The corruption of words by the pro-homosexual Left, including &#8220;gay,&#8221; &#8220;sexual orientation&#8221; and &#8220;marriage equality&#8221;;</li>
<li>The appearance of PRO-homosexuality &#8220;evangelicals&#8221; like Grove City College&#8217;s <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/11/01/labarbera-asks-grove-city-college-professor-warren-throckmorton-to-apologize-for-pro-homosexual-advocacy/" target="_blank">Warren Throckmorton</a> and Chicago&#8217;s <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/09/05/prof-rob-gagnon-takes-andrew-marin-to-school-on-the-bible-and-homosexuality/" target="_blank">Andrew Marin</a> &#8211; who confuse Christians and undermine biblical truth on the issue by capitulating to pro-&#8221;gay&#8221; ideology and semantics;</li>
<li>The connection of homosexuality and sexual deviance to the Nazi Party in Germany. (See Lively&#8217;s book, <em><a href="http://www.defendthefamily.com/pfrc/books/pinkswastika/html/the_pinkswastika_4th_edition_-_final.htm" target="_blank">The Pink Swastika</a></em>);</li>
<li>The very real threat to religious liberty posed by the tremendous rise of homosexual (&#8220;gay&#8221;) power in the United States.</li>

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">In America, homosexual perversion like this (recast as &#8220;gay&#8221; identity) is celebrated by liberal eliites. Now the Obama administration wants to promote the normalization of homosexuality to the world. The above graphic is an online ad for an HIV vaccine study involving homosexual men. For decency&#8217;s sake, we blocked the male-to-male kiss &#8212; which itself would be considered a &#8220;homophobic&#8221; act by Western &#8220;gay&#8221; activists who want to expose people to homosexual acts to desensitize them to this aberrant lifestyle.</dd>

<p><strong>Americans For Truth Press Release, December 8, 2011.</strong></p>
<p><strong>AFTAH Says Obama&#8217;s and Hillary&#8217;s International ‘Gay Rights’ Push Will Only Alienate Nations Who Reject America&#8217;s Moral Corruption </strong></p>
<p>CHICAGO – <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong>, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, issued the following statement in response to the Obama Administration’s announcement Tuesday of a campaign to link American foreign aid to the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=375277">promotion of homosexuality-based “rights” abroad</a> [a YouTube of <strong>Sec. of State Hillary Clinton's</strong> U.N. speech follows] :</p>
</div>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">With their new escalation of promoting homosexual behavior to other nations through U.S. foreign policy, <strong>President Barack Obama</strong> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MudnsExyV78">Secretary of State Hillary Clinton</a> have raised America’s defiance toward her Creator to a new level &#8212; while needlessly alienating nations less morally compromised than our own.  Not content to keep our decadence between our shores, the United States – through aggressively pro-“gay” Democratic administrations – now demands that other countries sink to our level by embracing homosexuality as a “human right.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Who knew that when President Ronald Reagan spoke idealistically about America becoming a “shining city on the hill,” that city would turn out to be Sodom?  Hillary earned plaudits from the Left with her U.N. speech on international “gay rights,” but her words were an affront to our Declaration of Independence, which appeals to “Nature and Nature’s God.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">By redefining “human rights” to include the normalization of same-sex behaviors and gender confusion, Obama and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MudnsExyV78">Clinton</a> have turned God’s natural moral order on its head.  There are many countries – including Muslim-dominated nations and major powers like Russia – that reject homosexuality.  By pushing sexual deviance on these nations, we only confirm their perception of America as a corrupt and declining – and very arrogant &#8212; superpower.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">America, rooted in the Bible, historically embraced anti-sodomy laws, but now we are in the grip of an unprecedented moral and spiritual crisis that blackens our reputation worldwide.  As one Muslim tweeted in reaction to Obama’s international “gay rights” plan: “There is a great divide between the Founding Fathers and the pro-gay regime ruling America [today].”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Aberrant sexuality is not a fundamental liberty, and defending morality is not hateful “bigotry.”  Hillary claims, “Being gay is not a Western invention, it is a human reality.”  But homosexuality is about changeable behavior – not intrinsic, innate identity – as evidenced by countless men and women who now live happy lives apart from homosexuality, despite once considering themselves “gay” or “lesbian.”</p>
<p><span id="more-10371"></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Homosexuality – once widely regarded as a <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2007/11/28/small-%E2%80%98c%E2%80%99-christianity-cowers-before-the-h-lobby/">Crime Against Nature</a> &#8212; is no more a “fundamental human right” than any other sexual sin.  Moreover, its practice is linked disproportionately to sexual diseases like <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/fastfacts-msm-final508comp.pdf">HIV</a>, <a href="http://www.gmhc.org/files/editor/file/ti_0909.pdf">anal cancer</a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">, </span><a href="http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/Documents/HepC_msm_projectinform.pdf">hepatitis</a>, <a href="http://www.thebody.com/content/art2282.html">gonorrhea</a> and <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/03/16/gay-mens-hiv-rate-44-times-that-of-other-men-syphilis-rate-46-times-higher/">syphilis</a>.  Culturally and politically speaking, what makes this perversion unique is that it has a powerful and well-funded (“gay”) movement behind it.  (There are no “Adultery Pride Parades” or “Porn-Users Pride Months.”)  However, that does not make it right.  All Americans who love God and respect His wonderful design for mankind should be ashamed of Obama’s and Hillary’s campaign to force a deeply flawed sexual ideology on innocent nations that do NOT want to emulate American decadence.</p>

<h1>Obama offers plan for U.S. to be global LGBT sex cop</h1>
<h2>Wants to import homosexuals with special asylum privileges</h2>
<hr size="1" />
<p><span>Posted: December 07, 2011<br />
8:28 pm Eastern</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Palatino, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times, serif;">By Bob Unruh</span><br />
<span>© 2011 WND</span></p>
<p>The Obama administration has announced it intends to make the United States the global sex cop, with plans to try to intervene in the workings of other nations where homosexuality is not promoted as well as plans to create special provisions for homosexuals and those with other lifestyle choices to gain special admittance to the U.S.</p>
<div>
<p>Among the provisions is a specific call for the U.S. government to &#8220;enhance&#8221; its work to provide services to &#8220;LGBT refugees and asylum seekers.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Who knew when Reagan was talking about being a shining city on the hill the city would turn out to be Sodom,&#8221; said Peter LaBarbera, president of<a href="http://www.americansfortruth.org/">Americans for Truth,</a>an Illinois organization active in revealing the truth of homosexuality.</strong></p>
<p><em><a href="http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.1387/.f">How did America get to this point? Find out in &#8220;The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom&#8221;</a></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/12/06/presidential-memorandum-international-initiatives-advance-human-rights-l">The White House statement</a> is called the Presidential Memorandum – International Initiatives to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Persons.</p>
<p>In the introduction to the multi-section document, Obama explains that he&#8217;s already instructed agencies &#8220;engaged abroad&#8221; to start &#8220;taking action to promote the fundamental human rights of LGBT persons everywhere.&#8221;</p>
<p>Specifically, his plan is to try to intervene in other nation&#8217;s where the homosexual lifestyle choice is at risk. That would happen through U.S. government&#8217;s agencies that would &#8220;strengthen existing efforts to effectively combat the criminalization by foreign governments of LGBT status or conduct and to expand efforts to combat discrimination, homophobia, and intolerance on the basis of LGBT status or conduct.&#8221;</p>
<p>Further, special access to the United States needs to be provided to any &#8220;LGBT&#8221; person, Obama explains.</p>
<p>&#8220;In order to improve protection for LGBT refugees and asylum seekers at all stages of displacement, the Departments of State and Homeland Security shall enhance their ongoing efforts to ensure that LGBT refugees and asylum seekers have equal access to protection and assistance,&#8221; Obama wrote.</p>
<p>He explained that federal workers must be trained to help LGBT members in their desires.</p>
<p>The enhancements the U.S. offers for those who support the alternative sexual lifestyle choices also means that those agencies helping with foreign aid should step up their involvement with LGBT interests and a special &#8220;standing group&#8221; should be organized to make sure the U.S. is responding as he wants, Obama said.</p>
<p>Also, the State Department and other agencies &#8220;should strengthen the work they have begun and initiate additional efforts in these multilateral fora and organizations to … counter discrimination on the basis of LGBT status; broaden the number of countries willing to support and defend LGBT issues&#8221; and other outreaches.</p>
<p>The statement from Obama came just a day after his press secretary <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=374773">refused to answer a question</a> about the appropriateness of a Senate vote to remove the ban on bestiality from the law that governs the nation&#8217;s military.</p>
<p><strong>Those who have been involved in the confrontations over the demands for &#8220;rights&#8221; from homosexual and other groups in America said the move is extraordinarily inappropriate.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;America is not being a post-Christian nation. … We&#8217;re anti-Christian. We&#8217;re directly at war with Judeo-Christian ethics,&#8221; LaBarbera told WND. &#8220;Also [at war with] Muslims and the ethics in other countries. We&#8217;re turning human history on its head.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>He said Obama, and his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, literally are &#8220;redefining sin.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;In all of the colonies, through our whole history, homosexuality has been forbidden,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now all of a sudden we&#8217;re going to be lecturing other countries, forcing other nations to follow the new-fangled version of human rights.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>He said regarding Obama press secretary Jay Carney&#8217;s handling of the question about military bestiality, the very things that have been said about homosexuality and rights could apply to bestiality and rights, or pedophilia and rights, or other alternative lifestyle choices and rights.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;On what basis,&#8221; he asked, &#8220;can we say [pedophilia or bestiality are] beyond the pale?</strong></p>
<p><strong>NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love Association, he noted, used to walk in &#8220;gay pride&#8221; parades.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Human rights are rooted in biblical, Judeo-Christianity&#8217;s idea of rights,&#8221; LaBarbera said. &#8220;This is unbelievable. They are twisting what human rights are. If there&#8217;s a right to homosexual behavior, why isn&#8217;t there a right to polygamy, adultery, incest?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Randy Thomasson of <a href="http://www.savecalifornia.com/">SaveCalifornia.com</a> has been involved in his state&#8217;s fights over the indoctrination of sexual alternatives in public schools as well as the fight over the voter-approved constitutional amendment that defines marriage as being only between one man and one woman.</p>
<p>He said the promotion by Obama and Hillary Clinton of homosexuality simply isn&#8217;t rooted in the facts.</p>
<p>&#8220;Homosexuality has never shown evidence that it is inherited, or has a genetic or biological origin. The &#8216;gay gene&#8217; doesn&#8217;t exist. Race and ethnicity are inherited, but homosexuality is not inherited,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Obama and Hillary Clinton need to take a science course on human sexuality and genetics and learn what they think is right is scientifically wrong,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He said the classification of homosexuality as a &#8220;right&#8221; is a &#8220;fatal error&#8221; that threatens children, accurate science, good health, real marriage, religious freedom, free speech and property rights.</p>
<p><a href="http://savecalifornia.com/not-born-this-way.html">He&#8217;s assembled information about homosexuality and releases it through his NotBornThisWay website</a>. He contends homosexuality is not genetic, nor is it healthy. His site also includes offers of assistance for those struggling to leave homosexuality.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lc.org/index.cfm?pid=14097">Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel</a> told WND, &#8220;How dare we, the U.S., export our decline in morality to other nations. This president has brought shame upon our nation by using extortion. I use a strong word there, extortion, in an attempt to compel other nations to adopt every demand of the radical homosexual lobby.&#8221;</p>
<p>He noted the urgency of Obama&#8217;s concern about homosexuals under fire around the world, yet notes that it is Christian men, women and children who are &#8220;slaughtered&#8221; daily under anti-Christian regimes.</p>
<p>It was GOP presidential hopeful and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who said the vote in the Senate to repeal the military&#8217;s ban on sodomy and bestiality was &#8220;absolutely abhorrent.&#8221;</p>
<p>She made the comments last night on Glenn Beck&#8217;s <a href="http://web.gbtv.com/index.jsp">Web television program.</a></p>
<p>Les Kinsolving, WND&#8217;s correspondent at the White House, had asked press secretary Jay Carney, &#8220;The Family Research Council and CNS News both reported a 93-to-7 U.S. Senate vote to approve a defense authorization bill that, quote, &#8216;includes a provision which not only repeals the military law on sodomy, but also repeals the military ban on sex with animals, or bestiality.&#8217; Does the commander in chief approve or disapprove of bestiality in our armed forces?&#8221;</p>
<p>Carney said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any comment on – I don&#8217;t have any comment on that. Let me go to another question.&#8221;</p>
<p>See the exchange that happened at the White House:</p>
<p>Kinsolving tried to ask whether the president thought it would be endorsed by animal support groups, and Carney said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s get to something more serious.&#8221;</p>

<p>Folks, <strong>Pastor Paul Blair</strong> of <a href="http://www.fairviewbaptistedmond.org/" target="_blank">Fairview Baptist Church</a> in Edmond, Oklahoma (a suburb of Oklahoma City) is the latest Christian to be targeted for publicly standing against the homosexual activist movement. Tragically, it has now become commonplace for pro-&#8221;queer&#8221; thugs to target the Church, even as they decry &#8220;hate&#8221; against homosexuals. The good news is that <a href="http://www.kfor.com/news/local/kfor-charges-filed-against-man-who-threatened-church-pastor-family-20111205,0,2323888.story" target="_blank">charges have been filed</a> against <strong>David Michael Moxley</strong>, for his alleged crime. (In Oklahoma, the reddest state in the Union, hateful and violent threats against Christians are still taken seriously.) You can listen to our cleaned-up selection of Moxley&#8217;s creepy phone threats against Pastor Blair and his family by clicking the link below.</p>

<p>As one who recently spoke at Fairview Baptist, I am honored to call Paul Blair &#8212; who in addition to his pastoral duties heads up <a href="http://reclaimamericaforchrist.org/" target="_blank">Reclaiming America For Christ </a>&#8211; a friend and co-laborer in the battle for Truth.  Another thing about Paul: even if he were not a retired NFL lineman (he played three years for the Bears) [read his testimony <a href="http://ecbiz103.inmotionhosting.com/~fairvi8/ok/?page_id=56" target="_blank">HERE</a>], he would never allow such cowardly actions to intimidate him into silence on the homosexual issue. (Here is Blair&#8217;s &#8220;rap sheet&#8221; by the leftist and badly named <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/category/individuals/paul-blair" target="_blank">&#8220;People For the American Way.&#8221;</a>) Like him, we must never give in to Secular Left bullying. You can write Paul to thank him for his unwaving defense of the family at <a href="mailto:pblair@fairviewbaptistedmond.org">pblair@fairviewbaptistedmond.org</a>. &#8212; Peter LaBarbera, <a href="http://www.aftah.org">www.aftah.org</a></p>

<p><strong>Pastor Blair sent out this informational release following the vulgar and threatening harassment:</strong></p>
<h4><strong>To our friends in the Media:</strong></h4>
<p>November 16, 2011</p>
<p>From:  Pastor Paul Blair, Fairview Baptist Church/Edmond</p>
<p>Relating to the Oklahoma City Council meeting yesterday and the action taken to include sexual orientation as a protected class, I wanted to make you aware of the threats that I have received here at the church within the last 24 hours.</p>
<div id="attachment_10362" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Paul_Blair.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-10362" title="Paul_Blair" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/Paul_Blair-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pastor Paul Blair</p></div>
<p>As a pastor, I did not even reference scripture in opposition to this policy.  My points were, first, that the policy was unnecessary because the city and city attorneys clearly stated that there was currently and had not been discrimination based upon sexual orientation.  Second, it was unprecedented in that we would be creating a special class of protection based upon someone&#8217;s behavior.  This was not a civil rights issue.  We are not talking about race or gender, but behavior.  And finally, I reminded the council that this was a GLBT effort and to remember the &#8220;T&#8221;.  With a policy to provide special protection for transgenders, it would be discriminatory to forbid a man from using the ladies shower or restroom in City Buildings.  What about the rights of women?  As you know, the measure passed 7-2.</p>
<p><span id="more-10324"></span>This morning [Nov. 16] beginning at 4:15 AM our church office began receiving phone calls.  More were received during the lunch hour and more this afternoon.  Below is a transcript of the calls and attached are the voice recordings.</p>
<p>Christians are constantly called &#8220;haters&#8221; by the homosexual community.  We are called &#8220;intolerant&#8221; because we love Jesus and believe the Bible.  Even Councilman Ed Shadid was recorded by the Oklahoman to <em>&#8220;liken allowing discrimination against gay people to Adolf Hitler targeting groups for hate in Germany.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Wow, the Nazi card!  Really, Councilman?</p>
<p>I have never witnessed an action of &#8220;hate&#8221; committed by a true born again believer in Jesus Christ.  However, countless acts of violence, hate and terrorism were committed AGAINST many pastor friends of mine during the Prop 8 vote in California [.  Now, my secretary, my staff, our private elementary school and my church is exposed to this vile language and these threats of domestic terrorism.</p>
<p>Thought you'd like to know.  The police have been notified.  (The police asked that we not take his call and not call back.)</p>
<p>Thank you for your time,</p>
<p>Pastor Paul Blair</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have committed homicide more than one time and in more than one state – and yet have not been caught or charged. Think about that.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Baptist religion is not recognized by Christ. It is an American religion that was formed years after Christ acknowledged the Catholic Church as its religion. The Baptist Church is not acknowledged by Christ. I will be coming to see you at 1230 North Sooner Road.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">(Clearly in a more agitated state): It is highly recommended that you have somebody to answer the phone of your church, especially the dumb a** Pastor Blair. Women should not be in a position in a church of employment&#8230; That is non-Christian. Women should be f***** their husbands and reproducing children only.

<p>Here is Part Two of our interview with Catholic <strong>Prof. Ken Howell</strong>, Senior Fellow in the School of Catholic Thought at the <a href="http://www.jp2newman.org/content/view/1/17/" target="_blank">John Paul II Newman Center</a>, located at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Howell <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/07/12/the-e-mail-that-got-dr-kenneth-howell-fired-at-u-of-illinois/" target="_blank">was fired</a> and then rehired last year by the University of Illinois (Champaign) after a &#8220;friend&#8221; of a student complained about an e-mail lesson he wrote on Natural Moral Law and homosexuality. A little known fact arising from the controversy is that Howell is no longer emplyed by the University of Illinois after a long stint there (thus, his liberal detractors were rewarded). In this interview, which aired November 12, 2011, Howell goes deeper into explaining Natural Law. You can listen to Part One <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/11/23/aftah-interview-with-professor-ken-howell-who-was-fired-by-u-of-illinois-part-one/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>
