“In Alaska, where the courts couldn’t wait until Monday to topple the first constitutional marriage amendment in America, the state filed an appeal first thing in the morning — as well as an emergency stay to put any weddings on ice. Thanks to rogue judges, a few ceremonies did take place in the Last Frontier, courtesy of activists who conveniently …

AFER attorney Ted Olson and hate group leader Tony Perkins went at it this morning on Fox News Sunday. Perkins: “You still have two circuits that have decisions coming up that look favorable toward natural marriage. I think the effect here is what you need to look at. I think the effect here is that the court did a back-alley …

“Just because a company sells to the public doesn’t mean it has to surrender its private views. Even for a t-shirt company, there’s no one-size-fits all approach to managing a business. Like any shop, Hands On has the freedom to establish its own criteria of conduct and conscience. Blaine Adamson, the devout believer who runs Hands On Originals, was stunned. …

“Unfortunately, by failing to take up these marriage cases, the High Court will allow rogue lower court judges who have ignored history and true legal precedent to silence the elected representatives of the people and the voice of the people themselves by overturning state provisions on marriage. Even more alarming, lower court judges are undermining our form of government and …

“This is how radical liberals work — they try to silence and smear, instead of discuss and debate. We’ve witnessed that up close and personal on issues like marriage. Instead of practicing the tolerance they say they want, these anti-freedom extremists fiercely target anyone they disagree with. Tiny family businesses like the Kleins’, whose only offense is trying to operate …

Tony Perkins is again fashioning himself as a king-maker, therefore hate summit straw poll winner Ted Cruz is going to be our next president. Perkins and host Megyn Kelly then go on to denounce any criticism of Cruz. And notice the dismissive comments about not-anti-gay-enough Rand Paul. “He’s trying. At least he put forth an effort,” shrugs Perkins.

During the FRC’s hate summit, soon-to-be former Rep. Michele Bachmann told Michelangelo Signorile that gay marriage is no longer an issue, adding, “In fact, it’s boring.” After being called out by fellow wingnuts like Bryan Fischer, Crazy Eyes is walking back that comment. Via World Net Daily: “What I said is that this won’t be the issue that drives the …

And Jesus!

Shocking. Sen. Ted Cruz won the 2014 Values Voter Summit straw poll for the second year in a row on Saturday, following an extremely popular speech Friday in which the Texas Republican promised a kind of salvation from the Obama presidency. Cruz earned 25% of the 1,900 votes cast at this weekend’s Values Voter Summit to be president, less than …

On the schedule for this morning beginning at 8:45AM: Sandy Rios, Mat Staver, Tony Perkins, Mark Levin, Star Parker, and Todd Starnes. Not quite the star power of yesterday, but today guarantees to provide even more anti-gay animus. UPDATE: The event has concluded.

Perkins won’t say so, of course, but Bush wasn’t invited because he’s “soft” on immigration and Christie wasn’t invited because he dropped his same-sex marriage appeal to the New Jersey Supreme Court.

In a speech laden with so many teabagger catch phrases randomly assembled from fridge magnets and bumper stickers that it was impossible to count, Sarah Palin dug out a coffee cup from under the podium to give her impression of President Obama saluting with a coffee cup. The audience, of course, roared. Nobody on Twitter seems know what the speech …

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: Back from defending anti-gay laws in Russia, Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage introduced Rick Santorum at today’s Values Voter Summit. Brown spent most of his time pushing back on claims that the GOP’s opposition to abortion rights and LGBT equality is dragging down the party, suggesting that Republicans would win …

Cruz was introduced by Brent Bozell, who is best known around here as the guy who appeared on national television to describe the president as a “skinny ghetto crackhead.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took the stage Friday morning at the 2014 Value Voters Summit and delivered a fiery sermon full of Christian imagery and calls for the president to demand …
