Jim Finnegan

This is Part Two of AFTAH’s interview with Jim Finnegan [click HERE to listen; listen to Part One HERE]. He is joined on air by Americans For Truth Board Member John McCartney. This was pre-recorded and aired Feb. 25, 2012. Finnegan, McCartney and AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera discuss Catholic Church doctrine opposing all legislative affirmations of homosexual behavior and (positive) identity — and how this basic teaching has been undermined and violated by senior church leaders.

Under fire from Hollywood celebs for sharing biblical truth

We’ve slightly blocked this indecent photo of a homosexual Marine, Sgt. Brandon Morgan, kissing his male lover (Dalan Wells) during a homecoming celebration at a Marine base in Hawaii. [See an NPR puff-piece on the twisted kiss HERE.] Morgan looks forward to the day when such homosexual greetings “become the norm” (although he regrets the leg wrap). LGBT activists and pro-homosexuality liberals consider this “progressive,” but truly it represents the moral decline of America, which — as someone smart (not de Tocqueville) once said — will cease to be good if it ceases to be great. (And please don’t pretend that this is no worse than some inappropriate heterosexual “Public Display of Affection.”)

Homosexual conduct is the opposite of good. It is unnatural and a sin against God, who lovingly established boundaries for mankind. Now, military moms and dads and relatives who bring their children to homecomings will be forced to explain this disgusting homosexual misbehavior to their kids. (Note the young child at the right in this photo.) How tragic it is that due to media bias and political correctness, President Obama’s homosexualization of the American military has hardly been an issue in this year’s presidential primary. — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org

Marine Sgt. Brandon Morgan kisses and wraps his legs around his homosexual lover, Dalan Wells, reportedly at homecoming for families at a Marine base in Hawaii. Note the young boy standing nearby, circled here in yellow. We have blocked the same-sex kiss for the sake of decency. Morgan says he looks forward to the day when homosexual greetings on bases don't make news and "become the norm." We hope he is wrong, for only a decaying society pretends that homosexual relationships are morally equivalent to normal, male-female couples.

Dear AFTAH Reader,

The liberal media’s bias in support of the homosexual — and especially “same-sex marriage” — agenda is so egregious it’s laughable [go HERE].  Below is a story featuring AFTAH about a “gay” hairdresser-turned-homosexual-militant, by our good friends at American Family Association’s “One News Now.”  You can listen to this report at the ONN website: http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=1544346 (and please sign up for their e-news alerts).  Notice how homosexual activists and their media allies keep ratcheting up their definition of “bigotry” and “hate.”  Now all you have to do to be smeared as a “bigot” by the ‘Gay’ Thought Police is take a public stand for preserving the age-old definition of marriage (one man, one woman).  Amazing, and evil.

A hair stylist in New Mexico is refusing to do Governor Susana Martinez’s hair again. Activist Peter LaBarbera calls the incident “a lesson in homosexual activism” for conservatives.

The reason Antonio Darden is snubbing the governor is that she does not support homosexual “marriage” — and Darden is refusing to do her do until she changes her stance. OneNewsNow turned to Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality for a reaction.

Dear AFTAH Supporter,

1. Former “Gays”…That there are lots of happy EX-homosexual men (like DL Foster); EX-lesbians (like Linda Jernigan and Yvette Schneider); and even EX-transsexuals (like Walt Heyer) who have overcome sexual/gender confusion and troubled circumstances in their own lives — usually through a relationship with Jesus Christ; and 
2. Unhealthy Behavior….The multiple health risks associated with homosexual behavior — which occur at vastly disproportionate rates relative to the rest of society.  Naturally, practicing perversion is harmful to one’s body (and soul).

Of course, the medical transcriptionist story deals with #2.  I was contacted by a medical transcriptionist, who couldn’t help but take notice of the many maladies contracted by male homosexual patients, whose records she was typing.  Keep in mind that young people are RARELY IF EVER taught or told about the massive health risks associated with homosexual behavior — e.g., the CDC’s report that61 percent of all new HIV cases involve “men who have sex with men.”

Hard Truths: Homosexuality-related diseases and dangers is not an easy subject to discuss, but discuss it we must. (Note the obvious connection between Epididymitis and homo-sexually deviant acts in the AFTAH article.)  One of the reasons that the “gay” side currently has all the momentum is that conservatives have not done a good job of telling the HARD TRUTHS about homosexuality.  (Of course, many people are intimidated and simply afraid to criticize “gayness” or the radical homosexual agenda at all due to Political Correctness.)

That’s where AFTAH comes in: we are stepping up our efforts to tell the uncomfortable facts and tragic realities about homosexual behavior and its intolerant and extreme activist-defenders.  Please help us do so today with your gift to AFTAH — online at www.americansfortruth.com/donate/; or via regular mail: AFTAH, PO Box 5522, Naperville, IL 60567-5522.  Please give me your feedback, and God bless. — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org; e-mail: americansfortruth@gmail.com

Pro-life/pro-family advocate Jim Finnegan has fought long and hard in Illinois for "Choose Life" specialty license plates, which would raise funds for adoption. Democratic politicians, influenced by pro-abortion lobbyists, have stalled the plates for years.

This is Part One of AFTAH’s interview [listen HERE] with Jim Finnegan, a longtime pro-life and pro-family Catholic advocate in the Chicago area who is active with Defend Marriage Illinois. Finnegan is also leading the campaign for “Choose Life” specialty license plates in Illinois — thwarted for years by liberal Democrats. This interview was pre-recorded and aired February 18, 2012. Finnegan and AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera discuss the radical group Gay Liberation Network’s ongoing attacks on Cardinal Francis George, due to George’s and the Catholic Church’s opposition to homosexual “marriage” and homosexual acts.

LaBarbera describes the GLN’s hateful protest Feb. 12, 2012, directly in front of Chicago’s Holy Name Cathedral, with signs mocking George as “Archbigot.” He also notes GLN’s refusal to condemn a pro-homosexual brick attack against a Christian school hosting AFTAH’s October 2011 banquet — and says that if he had refused to condemn such an assault on a homosexual group he would legitimately be called a “hater.” (See AFTAH report on GLN’s record of hate HERE.) Both men discuss a newly introduced “same-sex marriage” bill [more info HERE] introduced by three openly homosexual Illinois legislators — and how House Speaker Mike Madigan (himself a “Catholic”) has blocked pro-family bills in Springfield while allowing pro-homosexual bills to be considered.

Woman Strongly Disagrees During Heath Sermon and Walks Out

Mike Heath (left) and his wife, Paulie, with American Family Association founder Don Wildmon. This photo was taken in 2010.

Mike Heath is my good friend and the former Board Chairman of Americans For Truth. He’s also the former Executive Director (1994–2009) of the Christian Civic League of Maine — which, I might add, has become decidedly less boldly “Christian” — and less principled — with the departure of Mike and his talented staff a few years back. (That’s a long and fascinating story, but it needs to be told because it says a lot about what ails the presumptively “Christian pro-family movement” [quotes necessary].)

Anyway, Mike Heath [see website HERE] is also a heckuva good guy who — now that he is free of the burdens of “pro-family movement” politics (quotes necessary) — is more apt to tell it like it is than he was before. That’s saying something, because Mike was usually more honest about what’s at stake in the “Culture War” over homosexuality than most pro-family and conservative leaders, who are — I’ll just say it — pretty much intimidated, out-gunned and out-organized by the Homosexual Lobby and at a loss for how to stop it. (See this New England homosexual lobby group’s website to get an idea of what we are up against.)

I don’t necessarily share Mike’s views on the potential that come November Mainers will likely vote for “sodomy-based marriage,” as he calls it (Mike doesn’t fret about style like so many Chistians these days). But the fact that it is even a possibility speaks to the failed “pro-family” strategy of NOT focusing on Homosexuality in the battle over, yes, Homosexual so-called “Marriage.”

Elephant in the room? What elephant in the room?!
