America is Sodom

Weeks ago I heard about this documentary produced by Russians.  The producers include some trenchant comments by my friend, Scott Lively.  Peter LaBarbera at Americans for Truth about Homosexuality mentioned it to me weeks ago.  His DVD copy of the film was confiscated from him a couple days ago.  The Canadian Border Patrol was concerned that it incites "hate."

I finally took time to watch it yesterday.  Everybody should watch it.  The film nails it.

It is especially important for Maine voters to view the film.  On Tuesday the Pine Tree State will decide whether to elect America's first sodomite governor.

Three men want the job.  Personally, I don't care who wins.  God has turned his back on America.  Listen to Paul the Apostle.

They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

So God said, in effect, "If that's what you want, that's what you get." It wasn't long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this because they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god they made instead of the God who made them—the God we bless, the God who blesses us. Oh, yes!

Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either—women didn't know how to be women, men didn't know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.

 Julio Severo wrote of the recent Presidential election in Brazil.

While Brazilians, who are obliged to vote by Brazilian antidemocratic laws, will make their political choices based only on economy, I have made my choice not to vote, based on the intent by both candidates to disfigure, for the benefit of the gay agenda, family, which is, before the State, the first institution established by God. Therefore, family has precedence and absolute priority over the State and economy. It is based on this absolute priority that I reject both Brazilian candidates.

I can't bring myself not to vote for Paul LePage, but I'm not enthusiastic about him -- or any American politician.  At least LePage was willing to use sodomy as an epithet once.

Maine deserves Mike Michaud.

We've decided in the majority to enshrine not just sodomy, but transgendering.  We were the first state to create sodomy based marriage in a popular vote.  Ironically, this came just over a decade after becoming the first state to reject so-called "gay" rights in a popular election -- two times in a row.

As a follow on to the Sodomy documentary above Christians should read, and take to heart, Scott Lively's written warning to the Church.

He writes.

Now that the last secular barriers to the “gay” agenda have been crushed, all of their weapons and all of their warriors will be focused on the last remaining obstacle to their power, the Christian church.

I wasn't surprised to find that the leadership of America's largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptists, have decided to increase the pace of their collapse.  And why not?  If the Pope can claim that we prove our Christian love by tolerating sodomy why not Albert Mohler.  Joining the parade of quislings he recently admitted that he was wrong in the past to claim that people who have "same sex attraction" can change.

Wouldn't life be simpler if we told one another the truth?  Same sex attraction -- really?

We are talking about people who reject common sense, marriage, family, truth and decency.  Instead they want to sodomize one another and hide behind words and phrases like "sexual orientation,"  "gay rights," "same sex attraction" etc.

Would that they wanted to simply sodomize one another.  Instead, they now demand that I surrender my grandson and granddaughter over to their evil programming in "public" schools.

Billy Graham is said to have observed many years ago that God would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah if he didn't judge America for her sexual sins.

America IS Sodom.

This is fun to watch

Congressgay Mike Michaud was honored recently.  And Eliot Cutler is beside himself.  Angry.

Michaud wants to be Maine's first sodomite Governor.  He is running against Paul LePage, Maine's current Governor.  Eliot Cutler is also in the race as an independent.  Cutler wants to be Maine's first pro LGBTQABCDEFGHIJKLMNOProgay Governor.

In this NPR story Cutler whines about Michaud being honored at the sodomy parade in Portland last month.

Cutler believes that this is a matter of principle.

Referring to the 19 times Michaud voted for common sense by voting against "gay" rights while serving in the Maine Legislature Cutler says, "That was a moment, those were 19 moments, when principle was important and he voted no."

He is right that this is a matter of principle.  The principles of both Michaud and Cutler are, however, perverted.

I'm not trying to be mean.  Heaven forbid.  I'm telling the truth.

Here are some of the real principles at issue in this very gay debate.

Leviticus 18:22 KJV

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Genesis 19:24 KJV

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven

Matthew 11:24 KJV

But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Ezekiel 16:49 KJV

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

This last observation by the prophet Ezekiel is most instructive.  We all know how proud they are.  They label their parades with the word.  They demand that we learn all about their pride.

They are proud of their "fullness of bread" and their "abundance of idleness."  And sodomy does absolutely nothing to help the poor and needy.  Their sexual practices bring death, not life.

Mainers know this, and they are concerned about these principles.  The privacy of the voting booth and the perverted principles of Cutler and Michaud will propel Paul LePage to another four years in the Blaine House.

Who is Walking Away from the Battle?

The destruction of Sodom
and Gomorrah

Our splendid Maine summer is here at last, and people want to think about camping, boating, and fishing instead of worry about politics. That is fine. Not everyone is called to fight the forces of immorality which have engulfed our state.

Earlier this week, someone made the laughable comment that I "walked away from the battle" when I left the Christian Civic League.  I wish someone had told me that earlier!  I was wondering why I was so bogged down with work and worries about our nation's future.  

The  gentleman's comments were included in a webpage thread to an online newspaper article in which he is quoted.  He claimed in his remarks that I was "competitive" and that I created a rift with the Roman Catholic Church.

I've already addressed the charge that I created a rift with the Catholic Church here. Someone ought to call my Catholic friends to ask for comment.  The claim that I was competitive is too silly for anyone to worry about.

But let me address the laughable claim that I "walked away from the battle." That way we will know what the battle is, and we will know just who walked away from it.

Kagan a Lesbian? Why it Matters

I sought, and received from Matt, permission to publish this sassy column a week or so ago. I wish that time had permitted me sharing it with you sooner. Lots going on.  I serve on the Americans for Truth Board of Directors with Matt.  Even though we haven't met (yet) I consider him a good friend.  He was fired from his job at a prominent national insurance company a few years ago simply for expressing his conviction that homosexuality is morally wrong.  He is now a rising star in the world's conservative movement, and deservedly so.  He writes well.  He is often published on www.wnd.com.  Check him out.  Way to go Matt!  Great column!! -- Mike Heath

I don't see how liberal media-types can write, what with those uncalloused, milky-soft little digits all bundled in bulky kid gloves and all. Oh, when the target of their "reporting" is a conservative politico, or even Tea Party Joe, off come the gloves. But when it's one of their own – when circumstances require that a fellow liberal undergo a modicum of journalistic scrutiny – its simpatico most sublime. Out with the inquiry; in with the Huggies and tushie powder.

Media, here's your question: "Solicitor Kagan, do you identify as a lesbian?" Ms. Kagan, your answer is simpler still: "Yes" or "no."

Pipe down, lefties. Yes, it is relevant. Most liberals would disagree, but despite "progressive" protestations to the contrary, character does, in fact, matter. A majority of Americans still consider sexual morality – or a lack thereof – a pertinent factor in contemplating one's fitness for any public service – chiefly, perhaps, a lifetime appointment to our most supreme earthly court.

Every major world religion, thousands of years of history and uncompromising human biology have established that homosexual conduct is among other volitional behaviors rightly filed under "sexual immorality." Indeed, the majority of folks around the world – billions, actually – count this a timeless truth.

But the controversial nature of homosexuality is but one point of concern. Another involves potential conflicts of interest, "real or perceived." If we had a judicial nominee – widely believed a compulsive gambler – tapped to preside over gambling cases, would it not matter? If we had a nominee credibly rumored to use medical marijuana who might someday rule on the legality of medical marijuana, wouldn't such information be germane?

And before you liberals throw out that favorite red herring: "By this logic, Clarence Thomas shouldn't rule on cases involving race or sexuality because he's a black heterosexual male" – remember: skin color is a neutral, immutable characteristic. Being black is what someone is.

On the other hand, being "gay" is what someone does. It involves feelings and changeable behaviors. Homosexual conduct is more akin to the aforementioned gambling or pot smoking behaviors than it is to skin color (and for those in the lifestyle, especially men, sodomy most definitely involves rolling the dice). To compare "black" or "heterosexual" to "gay" is to compare apples to oranges. Understandably, many African Americans find this disingenuous comparison tremendously offensive.

Moreover, "heterosexual" is the state of sexual normalcy. It's our God-given design. There remains no credible or replicated scientific evidence to the contrary. Homosexual conduct is but one of many sexually deviant behaviors. Even Darwin's theory of evolution, which imagines "survival of the fittest," would seem to bolster this self-evident truth. You can choose political correctness. I choose moral and biological correctness.

Still, Kagan's "sexual orientation" remains the pink elephant in the room: Can a sitting justice, potentially engaged in the homosexual lifestyle, be trusted to rule on cases that might well grant special preferred government status to some – including that very justice – while, at the same time, eliminating certain free-speech and religious-liberties rights enjoyed by others? (i.e., hate-crimes laws; the Employment Non-Discrimination Act; constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act; constitutionality of "don't ask don't tell," etc.)

In April, CBS News published an online column identifying Kagan – should she be confirmed – as the "first openly gay justice." The White House pounced, demanded CBS remove the article and called the assertion "false charges." CBS dutifully complied, tail twixt legs, whimpered away and curled-up behind the rest of Obama's slobbering media lapdogs.

Whereas every liberal hack on the planet tripped over one another to demand Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Ted Haggard and, most recently, George Rekers divulge the most intimate details of their own bizarre (allegedly) sexual appetites, with Kagan, they've suddenly lost interest.

Although the mainstream media refuse to do their job, some in the homosexual-activist press are stepping-up to fill the vacuum.

Homosexual blogger Andrew Sullivan, for instance, writing in The Atlantic, opined: "In a free society in the 21st century, it is not illegitimate to ask [whether Kagan is gay]. And it's cowardly not to tell."

But Kagan ain't tellin', and the media ain't askin'. Of course, even if they were inclined to ask, they'd have a difficult time doing so. The White House has Kagan wrapped-up tighter than Barney Frank in a bustier.

The question is important for context. The answer, for instance, might explain why Kagan drop-kicked our brave men and women of the armed services in the solar plexus, during a time of war, by banning military recruiters from Harvard while dean of the law school. She did so in protest of the military's "don't ask don't tell" policy, calling it "a profound wrong" and "a moral injustice of the first order."

As it turned out, Kagan's actions were illegal, and the very Supreme Court upon which she hopes to serve slapped her down with its 8-0 decision upholding the Solomon Amendment, which would have allowed the Department of Defense to withhold federal funding to Harvard if it failed to reverse its discriminatory policy.

Ed Whelan, head of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., said of Kagan's activism: "At a time of war, in the face of the grand civilizational challenge that radical Islam poses, Kagan treated military recruiters worse than she treated the high-powered law firms that were donating their expensive legal services to anti-American terrorists."

Newt Gingrich took his criticism a step further. While addressing the controversy, he bluntly said of Kagan's nomination: "That is an act so unbecoming of an American that she should be disqualified from the very beginning."

I agree.

Indeed, whether or not Elena Kagan self-identifies as a lesbian, she has proven herself a radical anti-military, pro-homosexual ideologue and activist. There's little doubt that she would take this activism with her to the high court.

So, Ms. Solicitor General, if in fact you are "totally not gay," as some of your friends and your president claim, then it's my hope that a few Republican U.S. senators might take the time to introduce you to a nice fellow by the name of Phil A. Buster. Believe me, it's a match made in heaven.
