On Wednesday, American Family Association president Tim Wildmon joined Sandy Rios to discuss his recent meeting with Donald Trump in New York.
Wildmon said that in Trump's private meeting with Religious Right leaders on Monday, the GOP candidate said if he were president, all of his Supreme Court and federal judicial nominees would oppose abortion rights and be vetted by the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group.
Wildmon said that while Trump didn't seem to "understand" the dangers to religious freedom posed by "the LGBT movement," he was confident that he would be "coachable" on the issue.
"He is now surrounded by men that our audience would trust, okay, as godly people," Wildmon said. "And he is being counseled and advised on a lot of these issues which he's had a steep learning curve on because he has basically lived in a New York secular world his whole life and he's having to come to know who we are, but he wants to be — I genuinely say this — he wants to be our friend. He wants to understand us."
Last week, in response to the deadly terrorist attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, gay right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos organized an anti-Islam press conference, during which he kissed fellow anti-Islam activist and self-proclaimed "homophobe" Gavin McInnes as their way of saying "f**k you, Islam."
Needless to say, this display did not sit well with viciously anti-gay activist Theodore Shoebat, who released a video today calling for both men to be put to death.
"The only thing I can do is conclude that [McInnes] is a sodomite," Shoebat said, "Gavin McInnes is a sodomite plant, he is a deviant and he is worthy of death ... You are lower than the lowest bacteria. Pigs have more decency than you, Gavin McInnis. Swine has more decency, there are dogs that have more decency. What a sick, perverted individual you are! You are on the road straight to hell, Gavin McInnes. You are fooling them. You are full of demons. Your soul has been utterly possessed by the diabolical. You are worthy of execution! You are worthy of death. Bottom line."
"And that faggot that he kissed, Milo Yiannopoulos, is also worthy of death," Shoebat later declared. "If I had the power, I would string him up, put a noose around his neck, put him before a firing squad, any means necessary to annihilate these bastards. It's just so disgusting."
Liberty Counsel chairman Mat Staver appeared on "Crosstalk" on Monday to reflect on the upcoming anniversary of the Supreme Court's marriage equality decision, declaring that same-sex marriage will usher in pernicious consequences for America.
Staver, who gained notoriety for representing Kentucky clerk Kim Davis during her attempt to defy the ruling, compared gay rights advocates to communist dictators who sought to suppress religious groups, predicting that Davis "is not going to be the last one jailed."
Same-sex marriage, Staver said, "puts every household at risk because same-sex marriage, by its nature, says that, 'boys and girls, you don't need moms and dads,' that they are completely irrelevant, that two men or two women are just as good as a mother and a father and that's a complete lie from the pit of hell. It's just simply not true. To deprive forever a boy of ever having the opportunity of a father or a mother or a girl of a father or a mother is damaging and we will see the damage that is ultimately reaped against these children as they grow up and become our future leaders."
Later, Staver criticized LGBT rights supporters for using the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando "to promote the homosexual, LGBT agenda — as shameful as that is."
On his radio program on Friday, Bryan Fischer took some time out to pat himself on the back for being one of the only people brave enough to admit "the truth" that Adolf Hitler was gay and that "homosexuals helped to form and shape and mold the Nazi party."
The inspiration for this celebration was Jonah Goldberg's appearance on Fox News last week where he asserted that he knows "for a fact that a lot of the founders of the Nazi Party were gays," which Fischer noted is what he has been saying for at least seven years.
Fischer declared that nobody else within the conservative movement has been willing to admit this historical fact because they saw what happened to him when first did so several years back.
"I said that back in 2009, got absolutely hammered, got absolutely blistered," Fischer said, "and I think what happened is people like Jonah Goldberg saw what happened to somebody who was willing to step out and tell the truth about the origins of the Nazi party, that it was rooted in the homosexual movement, homosexual community; it was formed in a gay bar in Munich, most of the officers of the SA, the Stormtroopers, were homosexuals, you had no chance of advancing in the Stormtroopers unless you were a practicing homosexual."
After claiming that the infamous "Night of the Long Knives" was really directed at eliminating Nazi insiders who were about to "out" Hitler to the German public, Fischer declared that he originally made this case back in 2009 and 2010 because the U.S. government was discussing the possible repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
"That was the discussion at the time," Fischer said, "what about homosexuality in the military? And my point was very simple: That's been tried. Nazi Germany tried that. How did that experiment work out?"
Fischer's claims about the Nazis are, of course, entirely untrue.
Yesterday, Colorado-based pastor Kevin Swanson addressed the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando by arguing that homosexuality and Islam are both inherently violent because God gives gay people and Muslims up to their dishonorable ways and other sins like murder.
"Why do homosexuals murder homosexuals?" he asked. Because, according to Romans 1, "God gave them up to vile passions." "Violence" and "murder," he said, are deeply tied to homosexuality.
"What's the bottom line as we view what's happening in Orlando today?" he said. "I think it is, again, the Romans 1 scenario, it is that God gives them up."
The Orlando massacre, Swanson added, shows what happens when God's "restraints have been lifted entirely and when God doesn't restrain, people go nuts in their sins."
Swanson hosted an event last year with GOP presidential hopefuls including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, where he repeated his longtime belief that a just government would put gay people to death.
American Pastors Network president and former Pennsylvania lawmaker Sam Rohrer linked Sunday's mass shooting at a gay club in Orlando to Supreme Court decisions securing rights for LGBT people, telling conservative talk radio host Steve Deace this week that Supreme Court decisions involving marriage equality and "God's order for human sexuality" have helped to cause God to remove "His hand of protection" from the country.
Rohrer told Deace that he has a "great deal of compassion for those who are involved" in the shooting and also believes that "these kind of events are only going to be increasing" for a number of reasons, including that "the Islamists, the Muslim Brotherhood folks, they have made it clear that they're going to do that"; that "our president and those in office are soft, refuse to even identify the enemy ideology of Islam as the enemy"; and, finally, "it's a large part because I believe God has removed his hand of blessing on this country because we've turned our back upon him, and when he removes his hand of protection, these kinds of things come forth."
"God has made very clear," Rohrer explained, "that every nation that He has established — and He establishes all nations, we're told that all nations are established by God, even the very geographical boundaries of the nations are determined — that when a nation, any nation, does what God says, meaning that they fear Him, that they uphold and enforce God's moral law and God's design for the family and for the family and for civil government, all of those are His, when those things are done, then God will bless a nation."
"One of those blessings are the increase of wealth, one of those things is a security and protection from the neighbors around them," he continued, "even the enemies will be at peace with them, we're told in a number of places in Scripture. But when a nation backs off of that, particularly a nation such as ours that has a very biblical basis in an understanding of biblical principles — that's where our Constitution came from, Declaration of Independence before that came out of that. When those things were there and put in place, when a nation turns their back on those things as we have and [are] increasingly, arrogantly doing, then at that point the justice of God says 'I cannot any longer bless' and these things which you're doing will lead to not His lack of blessing, but insecurity and so forth."
Deace returned to the theme later in the interview, saying that America's current standing with God is "essentially like when a parent has an unruly child that persists in a behavior or an addiction that is destructive and has tried repeatedly to reach them, has tried repeatedly to intervene, they will not listen, and so they reach a point where you essentially have to allow them to hit rock bottom on their own in order to get the message and just kind of pray that they don't kill themselves in that process."
Rohrer agreed that this was a "fairly accurate representation" of what is going on and outlined a number of ways that he believes that Americans have "turned their back on" God, including marriage equality and a redefinition of "God's order for human sexuality."
"You know," he said, "God has established, and made it very, very clear, that He's established the family, He's established the church, He's established the institution of civil government … But when a nation, when a family, when the church fails to employ, fails to do and, even worse, turns their back on God's moral law and His design, there is nothing but difficulty and trouble that comes and follows from that."
"And, unfortunately, as a nation, we've once known God," he said, "'In God we trust' is our motto. But … Congress wouldn't even pass that motto now, they wouldn't even bring it up and the president wouldn't sign it. And our courts declare to be immoral what is moral, we redefine God's institution of marriage, we redefine God's order for human sexuality and we expect God to sit back and continue to bless? He can't."
The Florida Family Policy Council's John Stemberger wrote in an email to his group's members today that in the wake of the massacre at a gay club in Orlando on Sunday, he wants to see greater "unity" among Floridians in the form of more American flags and fewer "special interest rainbow flags" in memory of the victims:
The Pulse nightclub is right next to a Dunkin Doughnuts, Wendy's, Radio Shack and a 7-11 store where I often buy gas and get my children Slurpees. I ride my bike through this area of town often. This is in part why this tragedy has affected me so deeply. This is my community. These are our streets and neighborhoods. The people that were killed and injured are not just "gay." They are human beings! They are my neighbors! They are fellow Americans! Honestly, I am really tired of seeing special interest rainbow flags and wish we could see more American flags, as we stand together in unity against our greatest mutual enemy, radical Islamic jihadists!
He responded to criticism of conservative Christian LGBT rights opponents in the wake of the attack, saying that "Christians should be prepared to be attacked and persecuted if they do not bow down and pledge allegiance to the gay pride flag and all it supposedly represents." LGBT rights advocates' strategy, he said, is to "manipulate and bully Christians into submission to the new orthodoxy of the moral revolution."
Christians should be prepared to be attacked and persecuted if they do not bow down and pledge allegiance to the gay pride flag and all it supposedly represents. In stunned disbelief, I was listening to CNN at 1:30am on Sunday night and I heard the leading gay-rights activist from Los Angeles being interviewed. She openly said you don't need to find a terrorist cell to find this kind of hatred. All you need to do is look right here in America at fundamentalist Christians. The CNN anchor did NOTHING at all to challenge her or question her about her outrageous claim.
We need to be prepared for the stunning and false narrative of the Left which is that all major world religions, including but especially Christianity, breed hatred and create a hostile environment which "causes" the kind of violence we saw in Orlando. The goal of gay-rights activists is to try and get Christians to stop proclaiming God's design for marriage, gender and human sexuality. And they are not playing fair. The goal to simple. If you disagree in any way, no matter how gentle, loving or respectful they will call you a "hater" and a "bigot." They will scream at you publicly and test how committed you are to your beliefs. Their strategy is to manipulate and bully Christians into submission to the new orthodoxy of the moral revolution. Please know that as for me and "our house" at the FFPC, we will never be moved by this attempt at intimidation.
Stemberger, who is the most prominent anti-LGBT activist in Florida and has launched an anti-gay alternative to the Boy Scouts, said that he received a personal call from Sen. Marco Rubio after the massacre.
On Monday, End Times broadcaster Rick Wiles said that the terrorist attack at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando represented the judgment of God on America.
He said that more terrorist attacks are coming to the U.S. because America's security apparatus has been "infiltrated" by terrorists and "we have a Muslim jihadist in the White House, Barack Hussein Obama, a jihadist."
"God has been crying out to this nation: Either voluntarily humble yourselves to your knees and call upon me to protect your or continue in your rebellion and be brought to your knees by your enemies," he said. "But either way, America, you're going to your knees. I've said for years, America, if you continue to reject the mercy of the cross, you will live by the tyranny of the sword, and that's what's happening right now."
Wiles, who once said that "Ebola could solve America's problem" with homosexuality, added that he has "no ill will against any gay or lesbian."
Timothy Buchanan of the far-right outlet BarbWire responded yesterday to the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando by urging members of the LGBT community to go back into the closet and stop provoking people to commit violent acts by kissing in public: "It's worth considering that homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals might be safer returning to the closet. Flaunting gross immorality and defiant wickedness that is hideous, odious and wretched to an overwhelming majority of people is a foolish and dangerous course of action."
"Those who come to the United States from other cultures — some of which are infinitely more moral than our own — are going to be offended and repulsed by the rampant depravity that has become a defining characteristic of our culture," he added. "No amount of education, sensitivity training or political indoctrination will change that."
Diversity, Buchanan said, is destroying American culture and society, along with the liberal policies of the "evil" Democratic Party and its support for "murder, sexual depravity, lust and rebellion."
The real problem to be solved, and our only hope for a happy future together is to bridge the divisions that deeply polarize us, and that is not likely to occur any time soon. Why? Because it requires some or most, to forfeit what they refuse to part with–their sinful, selfish and wicked lusts.
Those of us who remember the 1960s recall a time when mass murders, sexual assaults, celebrating perversity and terrorist attacks were rare or unheard of. Abortion was illegal because everyone knew it was evil. Today, these are all commonplace. We were once and for most of our history, largely united in a common belief in God, a common belief in morality and a common respect for law. It was not a perfect paradise, nor was there justice for all. But one generation after World War II, we forgot what and who we are and everyone began to do what was right in his own eyes, but is wrong in God's eyes.
Contrary to the professions of the Left, diversity is not America's strength. Diversity is a weakness. For America as a nation, unity is our strength and we have lost it. Certainly, there can exist diversity among a united people. But the unifying identity that Americans once shared has been discarded as unnecessary, condemned as elitist and even rejected as a hindrance to free expression and happiness.
It's worth considering that homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals might be safer returning to the closet. Flaunting gross immorality and defiant wickedness that is hideous, odious and wretched to an overwhelming majority of people is a foolish and dangerous course of action.
Those who come to the United States from other cultures–some of which are infinitely more moral than our own–are going to be offended and repulsed by the rampant depravity that has become a defining characteristic of our culture. No amount of education, sensitivity training or political indoctrination will change that.
Today we have an entire political party that has devoted itself to dividing and fracturing our nation's unity. Amazingly, it promotes the most vile forms of wickedness: murder, sexual depravity, lust and rebellion and then condemns the predictable and violent fruit of its own policies and practices.
Hillary Clinton is the face of that party. It's the party of evil and it must be defeated. If not, its bitter fruit will destroy us all.
On his "Pass the Salt" show on Monday, Religious Right activist "Coach" Dave Daubenmire addressed this weekend's massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, claiming that the gay people murdered in the massacre were sacrificed by the devil in order to advance his larger goal of implementing gun control and siccing the government after Christians.
"This shooting down in Orlando, Florida? It will soon be my fault," Daubenmire said. "It will soon be the fault of radical, right-wing Christians."
Daubenmire said that the massacre in Orlando showed that "the devil is willing to sacrifice some of his own team in order to get our big players" and warned that gun control will lead to the killing of conservative Christians.
"How long did it take before Obama started talking about gun control?" Daubenmire asked. "How long did it take before you saw him on CNN talking about gun control? How did they get the guns? How long did it take? Not very long, because, see, we're losing sight of the fact that if they get their guns, our guns, there'll be more death. There'll be a lot more death. And when they get their guns, can anybody tell me who's gonna be dying?"
He said that it's not "gonna be the guys in the ghetto" who are killed due to gun control because "they're already killing each other," but rather conservative Christians who are resisting "bowing politically correct to Islam, politically correct to abortion, politically correct to homosexuality" who will die under increased gun control. Daubenmire declared that Islam is "the new religion" and "anybody who's against this new religion, they're going to get it."
Today on "The 700 Club," televangelist Pat Robertson reacted to the massacre at an Orlando gay club by making the absurd claim that liberal LGBT rights advocates have aligned themselves with radical Islamists and are now reaping what they have sowed.
Robertson said that liberals are facing a "dilemma" because they love both LGBT equality and Islamic extremism, and that it is better for conservatives like himself not to get involved but to instead just watch the two groups kill each other.
"The left is having a dilemma of major proportions and I think for those of us who disagree with some of their policies, the best thing to do is to sit on the sidelines and let them kill themselves," he said.
Earlier in the program, Robertson went into more detail about what he called "the dilemma of the liberals, the so-called progressives, because they have two favored groups. One, the Muslims. Number two, the homosexuals."
We're looking at a favored group by the left, the homosexuals, and that in Islam is punishable by death or imprisonment or some sanction, so what are the left going to do? How are they going to describe it? And they don't know quite what to do now. The fact that this Islamic gentleman opens fire in a gay nightclub and kills almost 50 homosexuals, that says something and tells the fact that Islam is against homosexuality, so the liberals are going to be scrambling to find some rationale, I think they're going to have a hard time doing it.
In the meantime, Donald Trump is riding high because he said we should screen these people and he's absolutely right. We should screen them. So the left is saying, 'Oh you're anti-Muslim, you're racist' and all this. Suddenly, that part of the narrative doesn't play too well and they're stuck as to what to do. But Trump is enjoying a victory.
Robertson went on to criticize President Obama for being soft on terrorism and sticking to "the narrative" that Islam is not inherently violent, irresponsibly ignoring the fact that "radical Islam is in the religion of Islam."
He added that the issue of homosexuality and the Islamic world is "a murky picture" because Lawrence of Arabia may have spent the night with a sheikh who tried to "perform homosexual acts" on him.
UPDATE: The Christian Broadcasting Network released a statement today saying that Robertson was "clearly" using the word "killing" metaphorically during his discussion of a mass murder.

Last night, extremist anti-gay activist Theodore Shoebat posted an hour-long video in response to the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando over the weekend in which he, like his father, expressed no sympathy for those "sodomites" who died because the entire tragedy was nothing more than "scum killing scum."
Both Islam and homosexuality are aberrations, he declared, and "Muslims kill each other all the time [and] sodomites kill each other all the time," so this case of a Muslim killing dozens of gay people was nothing more than "mutant killing mutant, devil killing devil."
"Sodomites are criminals" and do not deserve the prayers of Christians, Shoebat stated. "The sodomites who were killed in this club were not innocent people. They were not good people. They were not people who were just victims who we should just feel sorry for. It was scum killing scum."
The real victims of this attack, Shoebat said, are people like him who are being unfairly painted as radicals and likened to ISIS simply because they openly advocate putting gay people to death.
Shoebat, who last year was featured alongside several congressmen and GOP presidential candidates in an anti-gay "documentary," stated that he does not support the actions of the man who opened fired on the nightclub — not because he doesn't think that gay people should be killed, but simply because executing gay people is the job of the government, not vigilantes.
"I don't believe in vigilantism, but I do believe in the government killing the sodomites," he explained. "I do believe in the government arresting the sodomites and executing them for homosexuality. Under my rule, that sodomite club in Orlando, it would have been destroyed, it would have been demolished, bulldozed and all the bastards in there would have been arrested, tried, found guilty for homosexuality and executed."
"What this guy did was vigilantism," Shoebat stated, which he doesn't support because it's "the state's job to kill the sodomites."
After describing this weekend's massacre in Orlando as a false flag attack, conspiracy theorist broadcaster Alex Jones said on his radio program on Sunday that the LGBT community is to blame for the deadly terrorist attack at a gay nightclub.
Jones, a close ally of Donald Trump, was particularly angry that President Obama addressed the fact that the assault was directed at LGBT people, claiming that the community frequently hypes the threat of anti-LGBT violence in order to take control of the education system "so you can sexualize my children and indoctrinate them into your cult."
The "InfoWars" broadcaster accused LGBT and radical Islamic leaders of working together so they can promote pedophilia and abuse children. "No wonder the radical left is allied with Islam, they're a bunch of perverts, they want access to our kids," he said.
Later in the program, Jones said that he does not hate gay people, he simply hates "the fake, flamboyant, you're going to run society, you're going to tell our five-year-olds how to live" agenda that gay rights activists purportedly promote.
LGBT leaders, he said, have backed liberal policies that led to the Orlando attack: "I charge the left and I charge Obama and I charge the LGBT community in general with endangering America and with the blood of these 50-plus innocent men and women who did not deserve to die, who did not deserve to have bullets fired into them and all the other hundreds of thousands of other liberals and gays and others in the Middle East that have been murdered in the last five years under the Al Qaeda/ISIS onslaught that our government and CNN has pushed and said is a good thing."
On Jan Markell's radio show Saturday, John Haller of Ohio's Fellowship Bible Chapel said that the LGBT "agenda" is a sign of the End Times on par with "actual wars."
"The Scripture says that eventually people will be given over to a reprobate mind and they will essentially lose the ability to reason," Haller said. "Another way of saying it a little less politically correct would be, they lose the ability to reason and they think like morons. And I think that we are exactly at that time. I think it will get worse. We are seeing that play out right in front of our eyes."
"Both the days of Noah and the days of Lot existed in the historical context. What was going on then was wickedness and violence filled the earth in the days of Noah, and homosexuality was running rampant in Sodom and Gomorrah in the days of Lot. This is exactly what we're seeing," he added.
Haller said that France has become a warzone, saying, "This is happening all over the world, let alone the fact that actual wars are taking place, but then we have the, what I would call the LGBTQIANDIA+ agenda. They keep adding letters to that."
Citing the Bible, Haller said that the recent mainstream support of LGBT people indicates the Second Coming of Jesus is near.
"Over Jesus' life, up until the last week when he rode into Jerusalem, of all the Messianic prophecies — rough estimate — 40 percent of those prophecies about his first coming were fulfilled in roughly 33 years," Haller said. "Sixty percent of them were fulfilled in the last week. And so what you saw was this exponential increase in the acceleration of these prophecies coming to pass. That's exactly what's going to happen in the End Times, and I talk every week about the convergence of all these different lines of Bible prophecy, from Israel to morality to one-world government, one-world religion.
"All of these things were in play, and they all converge and finish at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, but as we get closer to that time, the lines converge and it's almost like we're in the vortex, for lack of a better example, the vortex of a tornado, where it's very turbulent."
Seemingly attempting to outdo Donald Trump in trying to come up with the most cynical and thoughtless responses to the massacre in Orlando, Ted Cruz released a statement yesterday condemning liberals for what he claims is insufficient condemnation of anti-LGBT violence perpetrated by groups like ISIS and the Iranian government:
For all the Democrats who are loud champions of the gay and lesbian community whenever there is a culture battle waging, now is the opportunity to speak out against an ideology that calls for the murder of gays and lesbians. ISIS and the theocracy in Iran (supported with American taxpayer dollars) regularly murder homosexuals, throwing them from buildings and burying them under rocks. This is wrong, it is evil, and we must all stand against it. Every human being has a right to live according to his or her faith and conscience, and nobody has a right to murder someone who doesn't share their faith or sexual orientation. If you're a Democratic politician and you really want to stand for LGBT, show real courage and stand up against the vicious ideology that has targeted our fellow Americans for murder.
Aside from ignoring the ongoing efforts to battle ISIS terrorists and making false claims about U.S. tax money going to Iran, Cruz said that liberals are too cowardly to condemn those who call "for the murder of gays and lesbians," absurdly suggesting that U.S. leaders haven't already condemned terrorist atrocities and ISIS's ideology.
We wonder why Cruz himself didn't display such heroism when he spoke at a conference late last year where the main speaker, Kevin Swanson, a longtime and notorious advocate of the government instituting the death penalty for gay people, said repeatedly on stage that the Bible calls for gays and lesbians to be put to death and argued that America should introduce capital punishment against unrepentant homosexuals once society is moved in that direction.
That conference was also attended by Cruz's father and his then-rivals in the GOP presidential race Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal.
The summit, called the National Religious Liberties Conference, even distributed literature calling for the death penalty for gay people and others, mentioning stoning and throwing people off cliffs as possible forms of executions.
And yet Ted Cruz now has the gall to lecture liberals about the importance of showing "real courage" in the face of those who want to put gays to death.
Update: Cruz also once compared LGBT rights advocates to jihadists.
Update: The video has been removed from YouTube.
In a video message posted yesterday, virulently anti-LGBT pastor Steven Anderson reacted to the terrorist attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, by happily announcing that "there's 50 less pedophiles in this world."
"These homosexuals are a bunch of perverts and pedophiles, that's who was a victim here, a bunch of disgusting homosexuals at a gay bar," he said. He later added: "The good news is that at least 50 of these pedophiles are not going to be harming children anymore. The bad news is that a lot of the homos in the bar are still alive, so they're going to continue to molest children and recruit people into their filthy homosexual lifestyle."
Anderson explained that he didn't approve of the shooter's actions … but only because he thinks the victims should have been put to death by the government. "These people all should have been killed anyway, but they should have been killed through the proper channels, as in, they should've been executed by a righteous government," he said.
Anderson said that gun owners and pastors are the real victims of the tragedy, predicting that the government will use the massacre as an opportunity to confiscate firearms, demonize Christians and outlaw hateful speech.
At the end of the day, Anderson said, the victims were on their way to an early death from AIDS and syphilis anyway.
Walid Shoebat, a supposed ex-terrorist who is now an extremist anti-Islam and anti-gay activist, responded to this weekend's massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, by attacking gays, Jews, and liberals and declaring that it ought to be illegal to be gay or Muslim in America.
Shoebat was especially upset with "dumb Jews" like Sam Seder, who mocked him for saying that he refuses to fly on commercial airlines because a pilot may be a Muslim:
Instead of complementing us, the mocking liberal Jew Sam, Seder, says that we, not the Muslim "should be under watch".
This is how the system from media to government repays Christian converts from Islam.
Who is laughing now Mr. Seder? Boy you are dumb and I can't feel sorry for dumb Jews.
Even when we point a stupid Jew to Evangelical Christians, they too get angry since in their view a Jew can do no evil.
The whole culture is dumber than a nail.
Liberals and gays should all screw each other. Finally I could watch TV and could care less.
The only ones moaning over fifty gays slaughtered are liberals, idiots and gay lovers.
The U.S. supports Muslim terrorists in Syria so long they get at Russia and Bashar Al-Assad and kill Syrian soldiers. And now I am supposed to only care when gays are killed and I am supposed to jump up and down?
I don't care about gays who are Muslim loving anti-gun liberals. Stupid people who hate life die. Stupid people who hate life always die.
The haters of God love death.
The FBI doesn't care since the system is impossible to fix unless of course to be "Muslim" should be illegal and to be "Gay" should also be illegal since gays are disgusting and are Muslim-loving anti guns.
Agents have their hands tied by politicians and the system will never make this politically incorrect change, so all I can say is "enjoy the death toll".
Focus on the Family founder James Dobson invited Faith 2 Action's Janet Porters on to his "Family Talk" radio program this week to discuss transgender-inclusive facilities policies in schools and stores like Target, which Dobson said violate the Levitical prohibition against selling your daughter into prostitution.
"Let me share a Scripture with you all that I came across that speaks to this issue," he said. "It's addressed directly to parents, I think. It's Leviticus 19:29. Listen to this: 'Do not degrade your daughters by making them a prostitute or the land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness.' That comes right to the heart of this. It sort of feels like that's where we are. We're taking our little, vulnerable kids and we're saying in the name of political correctness, 'Here are our children. Do with them what you want.' And I'm here to say that I'm going to fight that as long as I have breath in my body."
He added that he was worried not only about children but also about his wife, Shirley, "being in a bathroom where some grungy guy comes in there and zips down the zipper and does things that she will remember the rest of her life."
"I mean, where is manhood that we don't stand up and defend our own families?" he asked. "And I think that we're going to be responsible before the Lord if we don't do it."
Porter heartily agreed, saying that while some are staying out of the issue because they're "afraid of being called a mean name," it's time for "men of courage" to "stand and fight."
Dobson's cohost, Meg Meeker, chimed in to say, "Woe to us who do not intervene on behalf of our kids, that's all I can say."
"They're sitting ducks," said Dobson.
Porter then invoked another Bible verse, the passage in Luke where Jesus tells his disciples that "it would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble."
"You know, the Bible says it's better to have a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble," she said. "And I think … that this applies not just to those in the schools that are doing this, those in the White House and the Target corporation, but I think it applies to parents. Because if you don't vigilantly watch what they're teaching your children, if you don't stand now, school administrators, if you don't stand now and fight this, then this verse, I believe, applies to you. Because these children are being led astray, they're being harmed, they're being violated and the only thing that can protect them is for those adults in authority to stand now and fight."
Like other Religious Right leaders, American globe-trotting anti-gay activist Scott Lively has long been a vocal supporter of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and his anti-gay policies. A few years ago Lively wrote Putin a gushing fan letter praising his "moral leadership" and "firm and unequivocal stand" against "the seemingly unstoppable spread of homosexuality." He even tucked in a copy of his infamous book, "The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party," saying he hoped that the U.S. and Russia would be able to cooperate in the future and "redeem the future of mankind from a Fascist Leviathan, just as we did in World War II."
But Putin is apparently no longer the only apple of Lively's eye. On Monday, Lively posted a reflection about his latest authoritarian man-crush, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who Lively calls a modern hero of the Christian faith. Lively seems unconcerned about Orbán's attacks on religious freedom.
Orbán makes no effort to hide his "illiberal" authoritarian nationalist vision. A year ago, in a Politico article titled "Europe's New Dictator," Colin Woodard wrote that Orbán's "dictatorial tendencies" were laying "the course of a deepening tragedy at the heart of Europe with lasting implications for the west." Woodard notes that Orbán and his party have purged the civil service, packed the courts with political loyalists, restricted freedom of the press, and rewritten the Constitution to give a sheen of legitimacy to all of his efforts. He's also gone after government watchdog groups and other nonprofits.
Last fall, Foreign Policy's James Traub published a series of articles on Hungary's rightward shift, in which he labeled Orbán a "right-wing demagogue" and quoted an analyst saying that while Orbán is not religious, he "constantly invoked Hungary's 'Christian' culture."
Lively is particularly offended that former U.S. President Bill Clinton criticized recent anti-democratic trends in Poland and Hungary, "two countries that would not have been free but for the United States and the long Cold War." Lively fumes:
First of all, it must be pointed out that Bill Clinton has absolutely no right to speak for the generation of Americans that liberated Europe because that generation, including its leaders, was Christian. The "democratic" values it fought to preserve and promote included quite prominently the right to life, the sanctity of marriage and the natural family, and the concept of national sovereignty. The "democratic values" of Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are abortion, homosexuality, and global socialism.
If by "democracy" Clinton means the will of the people versus government tyranny he is doubly discredited. The people of Hungary (and Poland and Russia) overwhelmingly support family values and oppose open borders, while the Clinton/Obama cabal are blatantly, tyrannically and lawlessly ignoring the will of the American public by ramming "gay marriage" and the LGBT agenda down our throats and inviting third world invaders to illegally flood across our southern border by the millions.
Under the Christian leadership of Prime Minister Orban, the Hungarian constitution was revised in 2011 to state that human life begins at conception and marriage is between one man and one women. More recently, Mr. Orban had shown great courage in defying the European Union's suicidal "open borders" policies, especially regarding the threat represented by Islamic "immigrants."
If these Biblically consistent positions that the leaders of Hungary and Poland have taken on behalf of the majority of their citizens make them "Putin-like," then perhaps the rest of the world should give Putin more respect in comparison to Clinton and Obama. If that's what it means to be "Putin-like," the intended condemnation is actually a compliment.
Lively encourages his readers to send Orbán "a note of support and thanks."

On tension, drama and baseball's playoffs
Back in the late 1960's there was a wonderful movie that is a great metaphor for the most striking thing about the baseball playoffs.
The movie was "Wait Until Dark" and it starred Audrey Hepburn as a young blind woman who was terrorized by thugs who were in her apartment searching for heroin. The tension in the movie started small and finally grabbed you by the throat and squeezed until all the air was out of you.
That's the baseball playoffs, where the game's biggest weakness turns into its biggest strength.
Everybody says that baseball is too slow. The games take too long. We need to find a way to speed things up.
But that very slow pace is what allows for the incredible drama that infuses the playoff games. Things start small, but you have the time to let the tensions build until they reach the boiling point.
If this were a game that moved along quickly, like football or basketball, you wouldn't be able to have that feeling of having hands around your throat, carefully squeezing tighter and tighter.
Football and basketball have their drama, to be sure. But they don't have those exquisite long lasting minutes that make your heart beat faster and your palms grow moist with sweat.
Maybe that's why smarter people than me have fought against changes to make the game go faster. When it's that tense and dramatic, you want the game to go on forever. Maybe we should just leave it alone.

In a normal NYC winter, I give all my outdoor container plants a cup of cold water in late January or early February. I'm not sure what to do this year. It's been hovering in the mid 40s with leaps up to the sixties and dips into the twenties. The grass is still green. Cherry trees are blooming in Brooklyn. The daffodils are up in the park and my crocuses are peaking out. The magnolias lost their leaves, greened up, lost half and pushed out some more. But no rain. Should I be watering regularly? And if so, should I be watering fully?
Northerner needs watering advice. It's warm. What do I do?
If it's not raining/snowing then you should be watering--frequency won't be as often as you would in the heat of summer though. If you're not sure, wait until you think it might be time to water and do the finger test--stick your finger down a few inches into the ground in a few areas of the garden. If it's still wet then hold off. If by watering fully you mean giving things a good thorough soaking instead of just a sprinkle, then yes.
Oi. That means turning on the valve inside, reattaching the hose, watering and then taking off the hose, turning off the valve inside, going back out and opening up the faucet every time I water in case the temperature drops. Global warming, you are testing my patience.
thanks ecrane3.
Do the finger test in the soil first--I don't know how much precipitation you've had this winter but it's possible your plants don't need anything yet. The soil takes a longer to dry out in the winter than it does in the summer, plus the plants aren't actively growing so they don't go through water as fast so watering frequency will be a lot less than in the summer. But if you've had an extra dry winter then it's very possible that they'll need to be watered.
They're dry. Normally, I'd give them just enough to get them through the winter, but there is no winter so I wasn't sure if I should soak them or not. As ever, thanks for the advice.

Seattle - March 17, 2010 - HTC Corporation today outlined its disagreement with Apple's legal actions and reiterated its commitment to creating a portfolio of innovative smartphones that gives consumers a variety of choices. Founded in 1997 with a passion for innovation and a vision for how smartphones would change people's lives, HTC has continually driven this vision by consistently introducing award-winning smartphones with U.S. mobile operators.
"HTC disagrees with Apple's actions and will fully defend itself. HTC strongly advocates intellectual property protection and will continue to respect other innovators and their technologies as we have always done, but we will continue to embrace competition through our own innovation as a healthy way for consumers to get the best mobile experience possible," said Peter Chou, chief executive officer, HTC Corporation. "From day one, HTC has focused on creating cutting-edge innovations that deliver unique value for people looking for a smartphone. In 1999 we started designing the XDA
The O2 XDA by HTC was the first 3.5-inch color touch screen smartphone in the world in 2002. and T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition The T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition by HTC was the first 3.5-inch color touch screen smartphone in the United States in 2002., our first touch-screen smartphones, and they both shipped in 2002 with more than 50 additional HTC smartphone models shipping since then."
The industry has recognized HTC's contributions through a variety of awards including Fast Company's 2010 Top 50 Most Innovative Companies and MIT Technology Review's 2010 50 Most Innovative Companies. The GSMA also recently awarded the HTC Hero as the "Best Phone of 2009." Some of HTC's technology firsts include:
- First Windows PDA (1998)
- First Windows Phone (June 2002)
- First 3G CDMA EVDO smartphone (October 2005)
- First gesture-based smartphone (June 2007)
- First Google Android smartphone (October 2008)
- First 4G WIMAX smartphone (November 2008)
In 2009, HTC launched its branded user experience, HTC Sense. HTC Sense is focused on putting people at the center by making phones work in a more simple and natural way. This experience was fundamentally based on listening and observing how people live and communicate.
"HTC has always taken a partnership-oriented, collaborative approach to business. This has led to long-standing strategic partnerships with the top software, Internet and wireless technology companies in the industry as well as the top U.S., European and Asian mobile operators," said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of HTC America. "It is through these relationships that we have been able to deliver the world's most diverse series of smartphones to an even more diverse group of people around the world, recognizing that customers have very different needs."

CINCINNATI, OH -- (Marketwire) -- 11/15/12 -- Vertical Solutions, Inc. (VSI), a developer of CRM/CXM and service management platform-based solutions, announces that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Niche quadrant of its 2012 "Magic Quadrant for Field Service Management."(i) The report defines five objectives field service applications should have the scope to achieve, including "complete mobilization of the technician to perform end-to-end service tasks" and "provide field service functionality that supports a continuum of field service models, from reactive to preventive to predictive to reliability-centered maintenance." VSI believes that its execution of cloud, BPM, mobile, and social techniques across the customer support continuum has assisted in its recognition. With its unique vision of coupling field service with customer service on the same platform, VSI's solutions optimize time, resources, and training for process consistency throughout an organization. Vertical Solutions was also listed in the 2012 "Magic Quadrant for CRM Customer Service Contact Centers."(ii)
The "Magic Quadrant for Field Service Management" notes that customer satisfaction has risen to be a primary objective for field service, and that four factors in the "Nexus of Forces" -- which Gartner defines as social, mobile, cloud, and information -- can enable customer intimacy.
"With mobility being inherently dynamic and on the forefront of every business today, it's essential that service in the field not only have real-time visibility and personalization capabilities, but also device-independent mobile solutions," says Norm Goldrich, COO/CIO of VSI. "At VSI, we've found that a public or private cloud solution which incorporates this type of mobility, along with our social collaboration within the confines of the solution, offers a unique increased productivity for our customers."
Key features of VSI's VServiceManagement solution include:
- Universal Mobility with HTML5: VSI's VServiceManagment field service software offers a fully mobile solution built on HTML5. This enables companies to deploy a platform- and device-agnostic solution to field personnel, including on iOS, Windows, and Android devices, to help companies manage their service operations in today's BYOD world.
- Baked-In Business Process Management (BPM): VServiceManagement was developed using platform-layer technology, which empowers business users to create their own business processes. A simple and intuitive drag-and-drop interface gives business users a visual tool to design, test, implement, and document their business processes simultaneously. Base workflows can serve as templates for different customers or business units and can be copied and modified to meet the specific need.
- Social Collaboration: VSI's CRM/CXM applications incorporate private and public social CRM technologies, including Facebook and Twitter, to enable in-house and field service professionals and executives to "follow" customers, products, incidents, or any other defined item or event. This feature enables companies to develop personalized communities, improve knowledge sharing, and enhance the customer experience.
"Innovation in field service can deliver significant revenue to a company's bottom line, and companies need tools to help them manage their field forces and implement effective business processes," says Ron Wegmann, Sr., CEO of VSI. "Our cloud-based VServiceManagement field service solution uses our platform-based BPM engine, and social and mobile features that enable our customers to build their own business process libraries to automate, optimize, and personalize the way they interact with their customers. This results in better management of their businesses, an increase in customer satisfaction, and additional revenue."

What this pattern has done more than anything to date is spark organizational transformations, setting the foundation for future application development. In practice, however, there are a number of considerations to make that go beyond simply "build, ship, and run," which changes ho...

Eli Roth's Foot Swelled After Stung By Sea Urchins
Actor-director Eli Roth was left in agony during a festive vacation to Mexico - after he was engulfed in waves while kayaking and then stung 200 times by sea urchins. The "Inglourious Basterds" star was one mile (1.6 kilometres) from shore when he was pulled under by a sinkhole off the coast of Careyes 10 days ago, December 27, 2009.
To escape, Roth climbed a rock that was covered in sea urchins which unleashed the deadly spikes into his body, reports TMZ.com. A nearby fisherman saved the star. Roth tells TMZ the doctor couldn't anaesthetise his foot because of swelling - the medic was forced to pluck the spikes out with a pair of tweezers.
Despite his December 27 accident, Eli Roth still attended the red carpet event of the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards on Wednesday night, January 6. Along with B.J. Novak and Diane Krueger, he presented the Favorite Breakout Movie Actor award to Taylor Lautner.

2013 Jaguar XKR CoupeEnlarge Photo
According to AutoExpress, the new car will be positioned more of an XJ Coupe rather than a direct XK replacement, something that has been hinted at by Jaguar design boss Ian Callum in the past. However, it won't share a platform with the XJ. Instead, the new car is expected to ride on a stretched version of the F-Type's platform, which itself is a modified version of the bonded and riveted aluminum structure underpinning the XK.
The repositioning means prices will rise, and this in turn will help widen the gap between the new car and the F-Type so that the two don't cannibalize each other's sales; a pricetag well above $100k is likely. Buyers are said to have the choice of V-6 and V-8 engines, and there could even be a diesel option on offer, although the latter is unlikely to be available in the U.S. market.
Sadly, the successor to the XK isn't expected to arrive until 2017 at the earliest. Jaguar has a busy schedule ahead of it with an updated XJ, new XE, new crossover and next-generation XF all due before then.
