Liberty Sunday: Gay Bashing for Republican Victory
There were several pre-taped video segments opened with an audio of hoof beats, tied at the beginning to Paul Revere, warning of the impending attack by the British. Perkins noted that Revere was riding toward a church. Bishop Wellington Boone once again stated that the "Sodomites" were engaged in the "rape of the civil rights movement." Dr. Roberto Miranda spoke of the "powerful aggressive instinct," of homosexual organizers, and described the struggle for gay rights, saying: "like a rogue foreign cell inside an organism, it will continue to replicate itself." The Rev. Donald Wildmon warned evangelicals that the day could come when government agents could come into their church and arrest them for a hate crime just for speaking their mind as a Christian about homosexuality. Dr. James Dobson observed that the two political parties have different perspectives about gay marriage, and with the election coming up, folks needed to know that one or two Supreme Court Justices are just hanging on, and that the confirmation of the next justice could be pivotal. Kris Mineau of the Massachusetts Family Institute warned that homosexual money is flooding into this state to deny evangelicals their right to vote and their right to free speech. And therefore everyone needed to vote their values on November 7. Alan Chambers, Exec. Dir. of Exodus International, opened by saying that there but for the grace of God, I might have been outside protesting this event. "There is an agenda to silence the truth." Freedom from homosexuality is possible, he claimed, and that is through an intimate relationship "with our savior Jesus Christ." Bishop Harry Jackson denounced the "attempt to hijack the civil rights movement." For background, visit:
