From intimidation tactics to outright violent attacks are being perpetrated on the organizations who supported Prop 8 all across this nation. This is terrorism and in every case, if the roles had been reversed the legal actions that would have been taken not to mention the media coverage that would have been dedicated to 'informing' the public would have sparked an outrage that would have undermined any credibility of those organizations. However, since the crimes are being committed by a protected group, the media have been all but silent and in at least one case the commentator equated the criminal activity with that of the victims of that crime calling both sides hate filled and angry.
This episode of obfuscation is but one more step toward the outright persecution and expunging of religion and conservatism in our land. City councils have in the past condemned the religious organizations for their stance on the issue of family values in opposition to calling the same sex relationship equivalent and God ordained marriage. We are headed for dark times in this world as believers. Though there are official gay voices denouncing this behavior, they are being drowned out by the vast numbers of very vocal proponents of their agenda.

"We are going to see, I think, unprecedented attacks against our faith
through measures like the hate crimes [legislation] to the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act," he says. "We're going to see attacks on
innocent human life through the Freedom of Choice Act, trying to erase
all the gains that have been made in the pro-life movement. And I think
even our freedoms are going to come under attack."
Please act immediately to defend the pro-family victory won in California last week when the people of California passed a constitutional amendment (Proposition 8) by a 52%-48% margin to protect marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Since Election Day, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has made statements supporting demonstrations against Proposition 8, and urging California 's Supreme Court to block the amendment's enforcement.
There are political streams of thought that would deny the church the freedom to speak the truth as it understands it. If that happens, can the age of martyrs be far behind?
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
History Of Man: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to
great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from
abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency
to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage –

The great cycle of faith living can be modified, interrupted, as seen in the several Jesus movements over this past century. The Azusa Street outpouring and many other examples were exactly that. A movement back toward Christ and the faithful church. We who believe should first pray and then act in accordance with the Spirit who guides us. It is very likely that the California Supreme court will again try to thwart the will of Californians to support this lobbying agenda to ruin everything this country was built upon. Its not just the issue of homosexual marriage, its naming pornography free speech and devaluing the life of every human being. There is so much more going on than destroying the family values that have made and kept this country strong. Eventually, it will come down to the demonizing of our world view.
It is true that I disapprove of abortion. I know that this practice kills more than one million babies every year. I know
that those who founded its biggest provider were and are racist and sexist. I know that it harms minority communities the most and that it leaves a deep pain in the mothers of those lost children. But I don't take my disapproval and go around beating and killing either those who perform them nor those who receive them. That is what would demonstrate hate. My faith instructs me to invite them to join me in this faith so they can learn to value life the way I have learned to.It is true that I disapprove of the homosexual lifestyle. I know that this behavior is self destructive and millions of people suffer damage and disease to their bodies in its practice. I know that the gay lobby in America is pushing its acceptance into every corner of our culture including our schools' kindergartens. I know that this push is making our children's gender identity malleable and perverting their innocent psyches before they are ready for knowledge of such things. I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing homosexuals. That is what would demonstrate hate. My faith instructs me to invite them to join me in this faith so they can learn that this behavior is harmful to our society as well as to themselves.
It is true that I disapprove of the religion of Islam. I know that this religion has not been hijacked, that it practices the concept of justifiable deception, and that it requires its followers to institute world wide Sharia Law. The same law that requires unequal treatment of women, blacks, and unbelievers. I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing Muslims. That is what would demonstrate hate. My faith instructs me to invite them to join me in my faith so they can learn the source of real peace rather than Islam's brand of violent domination and overthrow of differing faiths and governance.
It is true that I disapprove of socialism. I know that this is the stepping stone toward Communism, Maoism, and basic despotism including regimes like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Polpot, and countless others. I have studied a little history and seen that the end of this ideology of building a utopia on earth is always, always the last step before re-education camps, Gulags, genocides, and so-called freedom wars against free and successful societies. I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing socialists. That is what demonstrates hatred. My faith instructs me to invite socialists to join me in this faith so they can learn that people are inherently evil and must fight their own natures so they can live together in peace.
Hatred is not demonstrated in critical speech just because the speech is critical. Hatred is demonstrated in speech and actions that intend harm. Actions like keying cars, stealing burning or otherwise destroying political yard signs spray painting threats onto a candidates garage door firebombing a billboard or any of a hundred other examples is a form of intimidation. Actions which intimidate others for their views is an abuse of their right to freedom of speech. Hatred is demonstrated in speech which is intended to intimidate as well. Do not confuse hatred with an opposing view on what's good for our culture and society. Do not equate criticism with hatred.
Long before Jonah Goldberg published his book, 'Bias' conservatives have been charging the media with double standard reporting in favor of liberal pundits, politicians and agenda. Today I was listening to Hugh Hewitt's program and one of his regular guests, Mark Steyn of Steynonline fame and author of the book 'America Alone' observed that the big media are fighting for their lives. Their motivation for all this bias is primarily due to the fact that Democrats are advocating for the Fairness Doctrine. There is nothing fair about the fairness doctrine. It is in effect a breach of free speech rights because it only affects those media outlets the Conservatives have a strong or dominant presence in. Those outlets are Talk Radio and the online blogs. They do not include news papers or the big three evening news on TV, or colleges where the liberal voices dominate or the movie messages dominated by the liberal elite in Hollywood. Talk show hosts have been preaching against the fairness doctrine but they haven't put the mainstream media together with the advocates of the unfairness doctrine. They have in fact, been wondering why the media are so biased toward the liberal ideology and dismissing it or blaming it on their college training or their own personal politics. This is far more insipid than they realize. The editors and producers are participating in this double standard by burying positive conservative news and promoting negative conservative news and vice versa. They are less and less subtle about it in regard to this election and Mark Steyn is the first to have put his finger on it. He is the first to connect the dots for all the conservative talk show hosts and conservative pundits. I have a new found respect for this man and believe me, I had plenty to start with. He has been sued in his country of citizenship for practicing his free speech rights which are now being squelched by recent legislation there and the abuse thereof by one, just one vile, hate filled, Islamic pundit. That alone, would have given me deep respect for Steyn. He is fighting this abuse of rights to the end rather than cower away from his duty to inform us of American influence for good around the world and to defeat this anti-free speach commission in Canada.
The big money media industry is fighting your rights to freedom of speech on the internet and talk radio by proxy through partisan politics. The result is the party of any liberty but religious liberty is now arm in arm with an information industry to socialize the various information venues not in their power. If Obama should win this election, the Democrats will have control of all three houses of legislation to write your freedom to speak your mind out of the constitution IN THE NAME OF FAIRNESS!! and you can bet Canada's hate speech law will be implemented right here in the good ol' U.S. of A. You too, can be held accountable for your opinions on the political system known as Islamic Sharia law.
Not all professors and colleges are buckling under the pressure of Islamic radicalism in America.
