Rep. Virginia Foxx: 'I'm Not Willing' To Leave America 'To the Philistines'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 6/10/2016 12:05 pm
Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., devoted her speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalitions Road to Majority conference today to telling activists not to lose faith in the political process and to remember that elected officials or, more specifically, Republican elected officials know that America needs a moral and spiritual foundation in order to survive and thrive.
She had a message for those who think that politics is a dirty business: If people of faith are not involved in political life, then youre leaving it to the Philistines. And Im not willing to leave it to the Philistines.

Louie Gohmert: Oppose Transgender Rights To Save Veterans' Lives

Today, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, went on yet another anti-trans rant, this time at the Faith and Freedom Coalitions Road to Majority conference in Washington, D.C.
The congressman spent most of the time criticizing sex reassignment surgery, saying that the practice will destroy peoples lives.
Now this administration says, Were going to have the V.A. do sex change operations. Really?! he asked. Do we not have enough veterans committing suicide without you increasing that 20 times? Enough is enough! We have to stand up for our veterans. Were the adults. We have to stand up for our children.

Sen. David Perdue: Pray Obama's 'Days Be Few'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 6/10/2016 11:20 am
Today at the Road to Majority summit, the annual Washington, D.C., conference held by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Sen. David Perdue of Georgia half-jokingly urged the crowd to pray for President Obama using Psalm 109:8: May his days be few; and let another have his office.
The Psalm goes on to read, May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.

Is that why so many Republicans get arrested for being deviants?

We are the winners now & come Nov we'll win again. Suckers!

(3,660 posts)They are very real, very committed Christians, spouting very real hatred. This is not rare, and certainly does not make them "Christians" as if no real believer would do such a thing. To pretend so screams a hateful message itself - that real unairquoted Christians can never be guilty of misdeeds, and therefore that all evil comes from non-Christians.
Give the real perpetrators their real label and stop whitewashing majoritarian religious bigotry.
