“It could have been me or my staff. That crossed my mind when I learned the deeply disturbing breaking news: The Family Research Council shooter told the FBI he used the Southern Poverty Law Center’s ‘hate group’ designation on their website to ID and target his victims for a would-be mass murder rampage. So far, according to the Associated Press, …

“Standing up for traditional marriage does not make anyone ‘anti-gay’ and it is deplorable that some reporters covering this issue allow mere opposition to redefining marriage to be labeled as such. It is even more reckless for news reports to allow the charge of ‘hate group’ to be applied to any organization because their beliefs affirm a traditional Judeo-Christian view …

“Last week, it was a done deal. Or so thought some of the Boy Scouts of America’s national Board of Directors. The board was poised to revoke their longstanding policy against having openly homosexual leaders and Scouts. Only a perfunctory discussion this week stood in the way, and the board would make the decision, appeasing corporate elites and homosexual activists. …

The man who last October shot a security guard at the Washington DC headquarters of the Family Research Council today pleaded guilty to several felony charges related to the shooting. Floyd Corkins pleaded guilty to one federal count of crossing state lines with guns and ammunition. He also pleaded guilty to one count of intent to kill while armed and …

“The volume of these decisions coming out of this administration is unbelievable, unbelievable. The stress in our military, when you look how they have used the military for their social experimentation: driving Christianity out, putting homosexuality in, suicide rate going through the ceiling. I think it was last year if I recall the numbers there were 349 suicides in 2012 …

“Can they honestly tell parents that entrusting little boys to men with same-sex attractions is somehow going to reduce the incidence of child sexual abuse? Or is the motivation closure? Because anyone who’s been a target of homosexual activists understands: there is no appeasing them. This struggle won’t end until there is a national policy eliminating any and all standards …

Southern Baptists Convention This is a catastrophic decision for the Boy Scouts of America. In order to placate their East and West Coast appendages, they are tearing out the heart of their Midwest and Southern support. This decision will lead to a mass exodus of traditional, orthodox Christianity from the Boy Scouts, including thousands of Catholic, Baptist and other traditional …

The Family Research Council, in partnership with the anti-gay Thomas More Society, has filed Supreme Court brief against the overturn of Proposition 8. As they did with their DOMA brief, they argue that Proposition 8 is not intended to discriminate against gay people. Even assuming, for purposes of disparate impact analysis, that sexual orientation is to be treated in the …

With the Thomas More Society, the Family Research Council has filed a Supreme Court amicus brief against the overturn of DOMA. Among their many arguments is that DOMA is not intended to discriminate against gay people. Even assuming, for purposes of disparate impact analysis, that sexual orientation is to be treated in the same manner as race or gender and …

“In another triumph of political correctness over common sense, the Pentagon is lifting its ban on women in combat and direct combat units. Senior officials leaked the news yesterday during the House’s Benghazi hearings, making the timing even more suspect. If Defense Secretary Leon Panetta was hoping to distract the country from Hillary Clinton’s Libyan testimony, he succeeded. According to …

Why does CNN continue to host the man who publicly called for the imprisonment of LGBT Americans?  Via Mediaite: Sprigg didn’t agree with the president linking the gay rights movement with civil rights for African Americans and women’s rights. “The irony is,” he contended, “homosexuals already have all the same civil rights as anyone else. But that fact that all …

From yesterday’s Family Research Council “prayer targets.” First, the gays: May God’s people arise to pray and effectively withstand government persecution over Biblical beliefs about homosexuality! (Mt 5:11-12; Rom 1:32; 2 Tim 3:12-14; 2 Peter 2:1-19; Jude 7) Then the Obama cabinet: May God bring every relevant fact to light in the Senate confirmation hearings. May His will be done …

“Instead of focusing on the environment of violence, liberals are focusing on the instrument. As the Sandy Hook community can attest, limiting or banning assault weapons–as some states like Connecticut do–will not deter criminals intent on ignoring the law. Encouraging strong families with a vibrant faith can. As I’ve said before, what America needs is not a cop in every …

“As we learned yesterday, liberals are no longer satisfied by the church’s silence on homosexuality. They will accept nothing less than the active embrace and celebration of what the Bible calls sin–or use totalitarian tactics to get it. What was once outrage over Christian activism has been replaced by outrage over Christian association. The White House has declared that anyone …

Today Truth Wins Out head Wayne Besen appeared on CNN to counter Family Research Council spokesdouche Peter Sprigg, who is ever so pissed about the Louie Giglio flap. Note that Sprigg doesn’t attempt to deny his calls for the imprisonment and deportation of gay Americans. UPDATE: Think Progress reporter Zack Ford reacts. Jeremy Hooper is right to celebrate this as …

DC Gadfly has the scoop: Moira Gaul had a stellar career at the Family Research Council and amassed a perfect employment record until her run-in with her supervisor, a prominent figure in the …

“For our troops in the Middle East, it’s not away in a manger — it’s away goes the manger! After years of celebrating Christmas with a live nativity, the U.S. Navy is ordering military families to tear down its display on a Bahrain base. Service members were stunned. The news was most upsetting for the kids, who look forward to …
