Mat Staver Has The “Ex-Gay” Sadz

“I am deeply saddened for the families we represent and for the thousands of children that our professional clients counsel, many of whom developed these unwanted attractions because of abuse of a pedophile.

Liberty Counsel: Michigan Marriage Must Be Stopped Or There Will Be More STDs

The Liberty Counsel yesterday filed a brief with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in which they claim that Michigan must not allow same-sex marriage because it would somehow increase the incidence of STDs.

Glenn Beck: The Liberty Counsel Is A Force For Good In The Lord’s Army

Kyle Mantyla writes at Right Wing Watch: A few months ago, Glenn Beck took a very public stand against the anti-gay crackdown in Russia, declaring that no reasonable person would support what is happening there and boldly asserting that he didn’t even know anybody who was anti-gay.

Liberty Counsel Has The Virginia Sadz

“This decision is outrageous and legally flawed. Judges would be well-served to read the U.S. Constitution and not invent or rewrite it. The Constitution cannot be changed by the stroke of a judge’s pen, nor does it bow to a judge’s personal ideology. The overwhelming majority of Virginia voters who make up ‘we the people’ voted to affirm natural marriage. …

Liberty Counsel Has The SCOTUS Sadz

“Deciding the case would have highlighted the absurdity of the Supreme Court’s convoluted decision upholding the individual mandate as a tax. Apparently the court was not willing right now to venture back into that morass. We will wait on the court’s ruling next year to decide whether to file a new challenge. It is possible the high court could side-step …

Uncommon Douchery: Erik Estrada Stars In Liberty Counsel Movie With Mat Staver

Today In Liberty Counsel Hypocrisy

President Obama has been issuing ‘fixes’ and using ‘enforcement discretion’ to roll out his tyrannical overreach into …
