October 15: Liberty Sunday - Bigotry, Gay Bashing, and Partisan Pandering
The program simulcast will be hosted on the Sky Angel satellite broadcast service. These battles are destined to have an impact not only on marriage, but also on the free speech and freedom of religion rights of all citizens. Liberty Sunday will broadcast live in churches across the country via Sky Angel satellite system, and will also broadcast on Daystar Television, Bott Radio Network, American Family Radio and web-cast on http://www.libertysunday.com (Cite:) Massachusetts governor Mitt Romey will appear by video, but he is sending his wife to the event to introduce his cyber appearance. Here is the announcement from FRC:
"Send us your Stories" urges the blurb on the front page of the FRC website. Have you been forced to attend pro-homosexual "diversity" training at work? Have your children subjected to pro-homosexual rhetoric in school? If your religious liberties have been affected in these and other ways, we want to hear from you. Send us your stories. Then, join us as we address these issues.Here is the full invitation:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Typical of FRC? Yes. Family Research Council Vice President for Government Affairs Tom McClusky recently posted: "Brad Pitt Apparently Endorses Bigamy, Pedophilia and Bestiality." McClusky was commenting on interview in Esquire magazine where actor Brad Pitt said his partner "Angie [Angelina Jolie] and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able." it's certainly no coincidence that the event is being held less than one month before mid-term elections, being that there are eight constitutional amendments related to marriage on the ballot across the country. No kidding! Christopher interview with Perkins is also illuminating:
[According to Perkins:] "What we've seen in the last two years since Massachusetts (approved) same-sex marriage is the evidence of what we were projecting would happen, that there was a coming conflict between the homosexual agenda and Christianity that was vibrant and active in the public square," he says. A "hate crimes bill" making it a crime to speak out against homosexuality is imminent if Christians don't continue to be engaged in this issue, according to Perkins. "The ability to preach the Gospel is at risk because the Gospel fully preached is offensive," says Perkins. "Same-sex marriage is the vanguard of the homosexual agenda. If it becomes the law that you cannot speak anything that offends, it's just a matter of time before the Gospel itself will be unwelcome public speech.(Cite:) Sky Angel is also broadcasting two specials on gay marriage after Liberty Sunday and before the midterm elections: "Veil of Deception: The Impact of Same Sex Marriage on American Youth"; and "No Tolerance for Truth."(Cite:) Here are the blurbs: Veil of Deception investigates the impact of same-sex marriage on today's youth. It aims to show concerned citizens how critically important it is to stand up and oppose efforts to legalize same-sex marriage for the sake of the children. The special also reveals homosexual activism in schools and communities across America, how experimentation is encouraged to children, and how parents, community leaders and teachers are speaking out. According to Romney, speaking at the Christian Right’s “Values Voter Summit” in Washington , DC, the “culture of America is under attack”
And what does Romney have to say about the ballot initiative in Massachusetts? : those that are in control of the legislature may employ various tactical procedural moves to keep a vote from every occurring. Now how is it that the liberals would be so active at assuring that democracy can't have its way? I'm afraid that in some cases liberals love democracy only so long as the outcome is guaranteed in their favor. And on the federal level:
The “Values Voter Summit” was coordinated by the Family Research Council's action arm. Liberty Sunday is the next move in their campaign.
