Tony Perkins: We Were Winners In 2013

"Dear Joe, With the end of the year right around the corner, FRC can look back and be proud of all we've accomplished in 2013. We took the Obama Administration on headfirst. We challenged its unconstitutional breaches into our lives. We fought back. And we are winning. The momentum is on our side and your support has never been more necessary. We will never back down in standing for advancing faith, freedom, and family. But the Obama Administration has unlimited resources and federal courts that are growing more supportive of its agenda with every passing day.

"We Need Your Help: Protect traditional family values. Fight for stronger religious liberty protections for those serving in the military. Force the Department of Justice to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act. Challenge the provisions of Obamacare that force Christians to violate their convictions and fund abortion. Joe, stand with FRC as we fight to uphold our values in the face of the Obama Administration and its relentless supporters." - KKK-affiliated hate group leader Tony Perkins, claiming to be a winner without actually having won a single battle in all of 2013.

Tony Perkins: Pray For Our Hate Group

"Dear Joe, Before you read another word, take a moment now to say a prayer for our nation and Family Research Council. Because of the radical, anti-Constitutional agenda of Barack Obama and the so-called Progressives, we are facing one of the greatest challenges in American history. Make no mistake about it, despite the debacle of ObamaCare, he will become more aggressive in his mission to strip you of your religious liberty and redefine the family. This past year President Obama has initiated several shocking efforts to strip Christian Americans of their First Amendment freedoms-especially religious freedom. He and his supporters believe that your faith should be legally confined within the walls of your church or the privacy of your home.

"In other words, there is no place in America for those who wish to live by and express their Christian faith in the workplace or in ANY 'public' space. Why? There can be no other allegiance to anything higher than the Federal Government. Those who disagree with the moral dictates of the government will be punished. So the president demands that same-sex 'marriage' be legalized, abortion on demand be funded by YOU, and that you and I support his redefinition of the family-or else face punishment." - KKK-affiliated hate group leader Tony Perkins, who closes with a promise to spend 2014 "compelling" the DOJ to enforce DOMA and fighting against the passage of ENDA.

Tony Perkins Defends Phil Robertson

"A&E's suspension of Phil Robertson shows Hollywood wants to avoid reality. The reality is that the Robertson family are Bible-believing Christians who don't cherry pick what the Bible teaches. Phil Robertson has been targeted simply because he expressed his religious beliefs but there is a clear double standard that is being applied. Nothing was done when homosexual activist Dan Savage screamed profanities at Christian high school students and called them 'pansy-(expletive deleted).' However, when Christians simply say homosexuality is wrong and they don't agree with it, there are demands that they be fired and silenced. It is time for all Americans to take a stand against the cultural elites who want to destroy the livelihood of people and remove God and His truth from every aspect of public life." - KKK-affiliated hate group leader Tony Perkins, in a statement published to the blog the Family Research Council.

Headline Of The Day

Media Matters notes that Louisiana's major newspapers have so far largely refused to report on hate group leader Tony Perkin's vile anti-gay history and his associations with white supremacist groups as he considers a run for the US House.

As he contemplates taking his extremist act to the halls of Congress, it appears that Perkins won't have to worry about Louisiana's top newspapers holding him accountable for his views. An Equality Matters analysis of five newspapers from the state reveals that most major papers have largely ignored his political ascendance, while others have whitewashed Perkins' extremism and hardly any have noted the FRC's hate group status or Perkins' record of inflammatory remarks. The five newspapers examined in Equality Matters' analysis have mentioned Perkins in a total of 29 articles in 2013. The Lafayette Daily Advertiser has not published a single article mentioning Perkins this year, while of the Alexandria Daily Town Talk's six articles featuring Perkins, all but one concerned his role as a trustee of Louisiana College. Of all the articles mentioning Perkins, a mere 10, or 34 percent, examined his political rise in the state. Articles in the New Orleans Times-Picayune and Baton Rouge Advocate have reported on Perkins' recent law enforcement commission appointment, his potential congressional run, and speculation earlier this year that he might challenge Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in 2014. The Shreveport Times, Alexandria Daily Town Talk, and Lafayette Daily Advertiser completely ignored Perkins' appointment and political ambitions. Coverage of Perkins all too often ignores his and the FRC's rabid anti-LGBT views.

Hit the link and read about more about Perkins' repulsive track record. Most of what's there should be well familiar to longtime JMG readers.

Perkins: OK, NOW We'll Start Winning

"Plenty of states have been processing down the same-sex marriage aisle. But according to pundits, that's all about to change.  Homosexual activists like to say that momentum is on their side. And until recently, they might have been right. Sixteen U.S. states now recognize a right to same-sex marriage. And unfortunately, the Left's success in places like Hawaii and Illinois have helped feed the lie in America that homosexual marriage is inevitable. But don't believe it, say experts. All we've witnessed lately is the Left taking advantage of easy targets. With the exception of West Virginia, none of the other 34 states are under Democratic control. That means the Left's toughest battles are yet to come. And in places like Indiana, the tide may already be turning. State liberals are rushing to play defense while a marriage protection amendment works its way to the statewide ballot. So be encouraged. Not all same-sex wedding bills are leading to wedding bells." - KKK-affiliated hate group leader Tony Perkins, speaking today on Christian radio.
