Congresswoman Sally Kern continues to be maligned with impunity for her stand for Christian Values and Morality by homosexual activists that are now taking steps to propagandize the citizens of Oklahoma with cherry picked sound bytes that portray her as a hating bigot.
The fact of the matter Congresswoman Kern is a loving Christian that is an example of sharing the Good News with homosexuals to minister a better way of life.
Read this update from Thinking Through … by Stephen Black:
Well there is no doubt whatsoever the agenda for American Society if Obama is elected President. In an interview with a Homosexual rag, Obama promised the moon for the Homosexual Lifestyle.
God have mercy on America if voters place Barack Hussein Obama in the Office of President and a probable Democratic Party dominated Congress.
One extra comment: Sally Kern for Vice President!

I have been a stalwart opponent of the Homosexual Agenda in America. I often have been called a bigot or prejudiced because I stand with the Bible that says homosexuality is a sin. I have even been told by homosexuals that Biblical scriptures concerning homosexuality are either outdated barbarism or are misinterpreted by traditional theologians – meaning the Bible does not condemn homosexuality.
That is part of the Homosexual Agenda: Calling Holy Scripture medieval and irrelevant or delude people with revisionist thinking that the Scriptures do not condemn homosexuality as a sin.
I believe the punishment prescribed in the Old Testament for homosexuals is covered by Grace in the Redemptive Act of Jesus Christ. Thus repentance and forgiveness covers the Old Testament Law concerning the penalty for homosexuality in this life.
Nonetheless Grace does not absolve homosexuality as a sin. Regardless of what homosexual revisionist propaganda might to tell you, the classic example of God Almighty’s displeasure with Homosexuality is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Today’s sodomy laws (mostly struck down by a Left leaning judiciary) are derived from the city of Sodom. Thus even the secular government comprehends the punishment of Sodom of Gomorrah were the result of sex sins of which homosexuality was one of many.
In the New Testament the classic condemnation of Homosexuality (here specifically male homosexuality and Lesbianism) is found in Romans chapter one.
The point is this, the practice of Homosexuality is wrong and stretches way beyond what is acceptable of Freedom of Choice and Conscience. The Homosexual Agenda with the allegiance of the Left and Secular Humanists, has been slowly chipping away at the American abhorrence of homosexuality. Hollywood and Television are the main source of propagating cultural acceptance of a depraved lifestyle.
The American Family Association has been a huge watch dog at fighting back the inroads of the Homosexual Agenda. To the certain dissatisfaction of Homosexual activists the AFA has been successful. The best example is that of the Ford Motor Corp. giving in to most of the AFA demands concerning financial support of Homosexual causes.
Now the AFA is setting its sites on McDonalds that has bought into the Homosexual and Secular Humanist delusion of the concept of diversity.
Another example of the AFA fighting the Homosexual Agenda involves the city of Eureka Springs, AR. The heritage of Eureka Springs is a small town for shopping, Bed and Breakfast establishments and most of all Christian entertainment. The most notable of the Christian Entertainment has been the Eureka Springs Passion Play which ranks as one of the best Outdoor productions in the world. I mean it is almost like a pilgrimage to go and watch the Passion Play in Eureka Springs.
In recent years an incredulous display of local Pastoral apathy has taken place. For some Satanic reason homosexuals began to move to Eureka Springs in sufficient numbers that when local elections were held, homosexuals gained control of the local government of Eureka Springs. The new paradigm the homosexual City Council is to de-emphasize Christian tourism and promote Gay Pride tourism. This is a slap in the face of God.
The AFA has put together a 28 minute DVD exposing the counter-culture of the Homosexuals invading and taking control of Eureka Springs. If you live in a small town or a Morally Christian neighborhood, it would behoove you to purchase the DVD to have knowledge of how the Homosexual Agenda may target you.
Here is an update on the courageous battle State Representative Sally Kern (Distr. 84 Republican) is fighting against the homosexual agenda in the State of Oklahoma.

This is another example of the State battling Faith and Christian American foundations in particular. A Homosexual moment of silence is being forced on Public School students to brain wash acceptance of Homosexual and other alternate lifestyles. Talk about a joint agenda, this is the will of atheists, homosexuals, secular humanists, moral relativists and Leftists in America and in Western Society. The agenda is to scrap Judeo-Christian based morality. I am certain many of those agenda persuasion sorts are unaware of the damage to social mores this is causing. The more the government removes Judeo-Christian values from our society the more our society becomes untrusting, dishonest, violent, thieving and hedonistic. Is that an America we wish to live in?

A majority of Americans view Homosexuality as an immoral practice; however Homosexual Agenda Activists have been slowly eroding that majority. Of the majority that views Homosexuality as immoral, growing numbers ironically are beginning to view that Homosexuals should equal rights as Heterosexuals. For me this is a moral/immoral American paradox that I feel is highly influenced by a Secular Humanist agenda of removing and denigrating Christian Values as the bedrock of American society.
Even I, a confirmed homophobe, am beginning to wonder where to draw the line on what is acceptable and unacceptable according to the U.S. Constitution on the Freedom of thought or expression.
I clearly believe the creators of the American Constitution would be horrified at the acceptance of Homosexual and Alternate Lifestyles acceptable in American Society today. It is also clear a significant majority of the Founding Fathers including the Liberals favorite – Thomas Jefferson – would be abhorrent that black slaves have received full manumission with an ever growing enlightened equality of Constitutional civil rights.
As much as I hate to say it, the Left has done some great things for America along the lines of civil rights. That is the greatness of the American Republic style of Democracy. The right thing always seems to manifest even if it is difficult road.
Nonetheless for every good thing the Left has accomplished there also seems to be a price that degenerates America’s moral absolutes causing a slow whirlpool of sinking values that in the late 20th century and early 21st century seems to weaken the nature of what has made America great by blurring what is good and what is wrong.
That “blurring” is the elimination by the Left of Christian Morality as the standard of right and wrong in American society. The blur is even now increasing because of the push for multiculturalism to override what has been America’s National Motto: E Pluribus Unum – Out of the many, one.
The Multicultural push by the Left will create a divisive America in which citizens will demand their cultural heritage to supersede the Constitutional Rule of Law; e.g. Sharia Law by Muslims, Relativism by atheists, the establishment of multiple languages such as Spanish or Arabic to be a part of legal documentation or public signage and so forth.
E Pluribus Unum will be eliminated in favor of a divisive and ultimately an inward destructiveness of Ex plures, divortium - Out of the many, division.
I write all this to make this observation: The Barack Hussein Obama campaign website has an open letter [In case of removal click HERE] to the homosexual activist organization – LGBT – “assuring them he believes in ‘full equality’ for homosexuals and stating that, unlike Sen. Hillary Clinton, he advocates the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act.” (WND)
Since a majority of Americans consider homosexuality to be an immoral lifestyle, a vote for Obama is a vote for immorality. Does America need more immorality?
Here is an example of Leftist Judges establishing Secular Humanism as a religion in America. A father in Massachusetts in 2005 was upset that the Public School sent home reading material for his son promoting the acceptance of homosexual behavior.
The Father file a civil suit against the Public school which was dismissed in Federal Court and in the Appellate Court ruled that teaching homosexuality did not violate parental rights. Now the Father is taking his cause to the Supreme Court.
Another family became upset with a Public School in 2006 because it sent home reading material for their second grader about two homosexual Kings that were lovers. This family joined the Father of the five year old in the Law Suit which is on its way to the Supreme Court.
On paper this Law Suit is about Parental Rights VS what the Government can instruct children in Public School.
The reality is different. It is about establishing the value and moral system of Secular Humanism in America. That makes a system that calls itself “secular” a religious system.
Leftists have interpreted the First Amendment’s intent of NOT establishing a State religion as Separation of Church and State. The phrase “Separation of Church and State” is found no where within the United States Constitution in the original document or the first 10 Amendments that has come to be known as the Bill of Rights.
Leftist Courts have used the illusion of Separation of Church and State to slowly erode Christianity from any connection in government on the local, State and Federal level. These Leftist Christophobes have changed Community Nativity Scenes that have been found on public grounds because it violates the Separation of Church and State myth. Leftist Courts have begun telling the Government to remove references to Judeo/Christianity from public buildings because it violates the Leftist interpretation of the First Amendment. The primary public property removals usually relate to the Ten Commandments or Crosses at Public Memorials. These representations of Christianity are symbols of values and morality; thus Leftist Courts are refuting Christian values and Christian morality in the name of the delusion of the Separation of Church and State.
Secular Humanism has emerged as a religion that places faith in the objective evidence of human discovery (facts derived by the validation of Science). Secular Humanism glorifies humanity as self-existent rather than created by God. In other words values and morals are relative to what feels good for humanity in the sense realm. Thus what is normal like a male and female is the foundation to producing progeny. The progeny learning their roles in life from the examples set by male and female parents.
Since it feels good to a group of humanity to have same gender sex, Secular Humanist morals and values would dictate that children acquired (obviously not produced from the same gender) can learn what is normal from same sex cohabitation.
In Secular Humanism, values and morality are measured on a sliding scale rather than a paradigm that fixes normality, values and morals.
Faith in Secular Humanism has probably led to the greatest degeneration of Western Society. Violence, promiscuity (homosexuals and heterosexuals), community trust, the disintegration of the cohesion of the family which leads to mutual disrespect between human individuals and on and on.
In essence Secular Humanism is a religion.
The First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Judicial Branch of Government has basically ESTABLISHED Secular Humanism as the Religion of the Land. The Judicial Branch’s extra-Constitutional legislation has overstepped it’s purpose. The Congress is the Legislative Branch which exists to create law and the parameters of a fiscal budget within the confines of the Constitution. The Presidential Administration is the Executive Branch which exists to manage the Government and enforce the Laws enacted by the Legislative Branch. The Judicial Branch exists to adjudicate civil and government law. The Judicial Branch interprets law and provides clarity to gray areas of law.
Legislation is not the Judicial Branch’s jurisdiction; yet that is exactly what Leftists in the Judiciary have done by ESTABLISHING Secular Humanism as the religion of the Land. Thus forcing the traditional religion of the Land too often being in contradiction of the unconstitutional Established State religion of Secular Humanism.

Moral Relativity in America

Hat tip to Jim Phelan.
Victor Davis Hanson busts the chops of the incipient hypocrisy of Mohammedan complaints about the West vis-a-vie so-called pure Mohammedan moral culture.
In honesty the immorality that is allowed in the West due to abused Freedom of Speech, Choice, Religion, Thought and so on; is a valid complaint. The ever growing prurient attitudes of accepted vices are truly disappointing. Some vices are pushed as relatively moral according to Secular Humanistic standards of moral relativity.
I am embarrassed that the Mohammedans accusations are often correct. On the other hand Victor Davis Hanson points out the very thing Mohammedans accuse of the West are degradations that exist in their own society; they are just hidden or ignored due the power of the elites in Mohammedan society.
Materialistic shopping sprees of decadent luxurious items by oil rich royal families or families of oil rich dictators occur frequently. Homosexuality is as rampant in the Middle East as it is in the West, it is merely hidden. If it is discovered, then the poor devils are executed. Many Middle Eastern nations (Saudi Arabia in particular) still cut off hands for thievery (unless of course you are a member of the ruling elite – royal or republican). The drug trade that destroys the lives of the addicted is booming in the Middle East and the illicit drugs are marketed by some of the most notorious supporters of Sharia Law morality – Islamist terrorists.
Incidentally it is the same Islamist terrorists that receive monetary donations from Mohammedans that live in the West (Europe and America). In the USA the most notable Mohammedan organization that supports these illicit terrorists is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (read about CAIR’s actions HERE and HERE). Iranian client Terrorist Hezbollah (yes Hezbollah has attacked Americans directly) has America-Mohammedan Shi’ite organizations in America, particularly in Dearborn Dearbornistan, Michigan.
One of the greatest hindrances to American society today is the Secular Humanist model promoted by so-called progressive minded people as the modern lifestyle of the ages. Secular Humanism views Christianity (and religion in general) as a set of archaic thought patterns that should be utilized as only to what relative to the present. Thus Christian Morality has good points and bad points depending to what is relevant to an individual’s lifestyle and how Christian Morality may affect the wholeness of secular egalitarianism. So furthermore deviant behavior vis-a-vie Christian Morality is deemed normal.
Homosexuality is one of these deviant lifestyles that Christian Morality deems as sinful while Secular Humanism deems normal as relative to today’s standards of life. The agenda of Secular Humanism (and homosexual activists) is to undermine Christianity in order for society to accept sin as normal rather than a cultural cancer that depraves society from within.
This is why I am excited to read that one of the leading homosexual activists has forsaken the homosexual lifestyle in favor of a Redeemed Victorious Lifestyle in Christ. That former homosexual activist is Michael Glatze.

How a 'gay rights' leader became straight
By Michael Glatze
Posted: July 3, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern
Homosexuality came easy to me, because I was already weak.
My mom died when I was 19. My father had died when I was 13. At an early age, I was already confused about who I was and how I felt about others.
My confusion about "desire" and the fact that I noticed I was "attracted" to guys made me put myself into the "gay" category at age 14. At age 20, I came out as gay to everybody else around me.
At age 22, I became an editor of the first magazine aimed at a young, gay male audience. It bordered on pornography in its photographic content, but I figured I could use it as a platform to bigger and better things.
Sure enough, Young Gay America came around. It was meant to fill the void that the other magazine I'd worked for had created – namely, anything not-so-pornographic, aimed at the population of young, gay Americans. Young Gay America took off.
Gay people responded happily to Young Gay America. It received awards, recognition, respectability and great honors, including the National Role Model Award from major gay organization Equality Forum – which was given to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien a year later – and a whole host of appearances in the media, from PBS to the Seattle Times, from MSNBC to the cover story in Time magazine.
I produced, with the help of PBS-affiliates and Equality Forum, the first major documentary film to tackle gay teen suicide, "Jim In Bold," which toured the world and received numerous "best in festival" awards.
Young Gay America created a photo exhibit, full of photographs and stories of gay youth all across the North American continent, which toured Europe, Canada and parts of the United States.
Young Gay America launched YGA Magazine in 2004, to pretend to provide a "virtuous counterpart" to the other newsstand media aimed at gay youth. I say "pretend" because the truth was, YGA was as damaging as anything else out there, just not overtly pornographic, so it was more "respected."
It took me almost 16 years to discover that homosexuality itself is not exactly "virtuous." It was difficult for me to clarify my feelings on the issue, given that my life was so caught up in it.
Homosexuality, delivered to young minds, is by its very nature pornographic. It destroys impressionable minds and confuses their developing sexuality; I did not realize this, however, until I was 30 years old.
YGA Magazine sold out of its first issue in several North American cities. There was extreme support, by all sides, for YGA Magazine; schools, parent groups, libraries, governmental associations, everyone seemed to want it. It tapped right into the zeitgeist of "accepting and promoting" homosexuality, and I was considered a leader. I was asked to speak on the prestigious JFK Jr. Forum at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government in 2005.
It was, after viewing my words on a videotape of that "performance," that I began to seriously doubt what I was doing with my life and influence.
Knowing no one who I could approach with my questions and my doubts, I turned to God; I'd developed a growing relationship with God, thanks to a debilitating bout with intestinal cramps caused by the upset stomach-inducing behaviors I'd been engaged in.
Soon, I began to understand things I'd never known could possibly be real, such as the fact that I was leading a movement of sin and corruption – which is not to sound as though my discovery was based on dogma, because decidedly it was not.
I came to the conclusions on my own.
It became clear to me, as I really thought about it – and really prayed about it – that homosexuality prevents us from finding our true self within. We cannot see the truth when we're blinded by homosexuality.
We believe, under the influence of homosexuality, that lust is not just acceptable, but a virtue. But there is no homosexual "desire" that is apart from lust.
In denial of this fact, I'd fought to erase such truth at all costs, and participated in the various popular ways of taking responsibility out of human hands for challenging the temptations of lust and other behaviors. I was sure – thanks to culture and world leaders – that I was doing the right thing.
Driven to look for truth, because nothing felt right, I looked within. Jesus Christ repeatedly advises us not to trust anybody other than Him. I did what He said, knowing that the Kingdom of God does reside in the heart and mind of every man.
What I discovered – what I learned – about homosexuality was amazing. How I'd first "discovered" homosexual desires back in high school was by noticing that I looked at other guys. How I healed, when it became decidedly clear that I should – or risk hurting more people – is that I paid attention to myself.
Every time I was tempted to lust, I noticed it, caught it, dealt with it. I called it what it was, and then just let it disappear on its own. A huge and vital difference exists between superficial admiration – of yourself, or others – and integral admiration. In loving ourselves fully, we no longer need anything from the "outside" world of lustful desire, recognition from others, or physical satisfaction. Our drives become intrinsic to our very essence, unbridled by neurotic distractions.
Homosexuality allows us to avoid digging deeper, through superficiality and lust-inspired attractions – at least, as long as it remains "accepted" by law. As a result, countless miss out on their truest self, their God-given Christ-self.
Homosexuality, for me, began at age 13 and ended – once I "cut myself off" from outside influences and intensely focused on inner truth – when I discovered the depths of my God-given self at age 30.
God is regarded as an enemy by many in the grip of homosexuality o
