    Bishop Calls For All Christians To Leave Democratic Party
    posted on August 21, 2012 by Dave Jolly

    Bishop Earl Walker Jackson Sr. (E.W. Jackson) has issued a plea for all Christians to leave the Democratic Party.

    Like Barack Obama, Jackson is a graduate of Harvard Law School. Unlike Obama, Jackson served in the U.S. Marine Corps and knows what it really means to serve your country. Following law school, he was a practicing attorney for 15 years in Boston. During his time in Boston, he served as chaplain for the Boston Red Sox for 5 years and as a Protestant chaplain for the Boston fire department. He was involved with The Samaritan Project to help churches that had been damaged by arson. In 1998, Jackson was ordained as a bishop and head of Exodus Faith Ministries in Chesapeake, Virginia.

    In 2009, Bishop Jackson launched a national grassroots organization aimed at restoring America’s Judeo-Christian foundations. S.T.A.N.D. (Staying True to America’s National Destiny) is dedicated to restoring the faith, values and Christian culture that America once had but has since lost. Earlier this year, Jackson ran for U.S. Senate in the Virginia primary, but was soundly defeated by fellow Republican George Allen.

    In his plea for Christians to make an exodus from the Democratic Party, Jackson refers to the Party as cult-like and cites the following reasons for his statement and actions: http://www.charismanews.com/us/33933...mocratic-party

    ■Pro-abortion
    ■Rejection of biblical family model and values
    ■Open hostility to anyone who expresses their Christian values including Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A and Olympic gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas
    ■Actions taken against cities and towns for displaying crosses at memorials
    ■Actions taken against anyone who invokes the name of Jesus during prayers at official events

    Jackson expressed his disappointment in the way journalist Mary Elizabeth Williams with Salon.com wrote about Gabby Douglas’s tribute to God. Williams wrote: http://www.salon.com/topic/gabrielle_douglas/

    “I’ve often wondered what it is about Christians like Douglas that unnerves me so … Douglas and her ilk seem to espouse a faith based on what is commonly referred to as ‘The God of Parking Spaces.’”
    When the Democratic Party officially endorsed same-sex marriage, Jackson said:

    “They will be saying, ‘We don’t care what you think, what you believe, or what the Bible or the God of the Bible says. We know better than God.’”
    This has led him send the following message to all Christians in America: http://www.charismanews.com/us/33933...mocratic-party

    “The Democrat Party has turned its back on Christians. It is time to turn our backs on the Democrat Party.”
    So here we have one black Harvard law grad telling the other Harvard law grad that he has turned his back on God and that it’s time Christians turn their back on him and the rest of his progressive liberals. I hope and pray that the message would reach every Christian and that they follow Bishop Jackson’s plea.

    For the most part you're correct, but there is another group; a group of democrats who truly are Christians, but are utterly, totally oblivious to what the democrat party stands for these days, or for that matter, any other era in time. I know a number of them; they've voted democrat all their lives, their parents and grandparents voted democrat all THEIR lives, and truth be told, none of this group can even tell you which party is in control or who's the speaker of the House; some can't even tell you who the vice president is. Yes, their ignorance is apalling, but they are allowed to vote and they are Christians, saved by Grace.

    ..

    Hey just figured this out? He just figured out that some "Christians" are like Esau, who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, or Judas, who could be bought for 30 pieces of silver. This man needs to go further and point out the harlotry of race in America, allowing commie-white democrats to pimp them. He needs to point out their utter lack of morals, righteousness and principles, and rebuke them for being a race of cheap whores who sold out their God, race and country for some free money and a seat at the table with power-brokers who are traitors to this nation. Like Black leader Jesse Lee Peterson has said for years--the black race and culture in America is immoral and wicked, and they need to repent of it all. No Christian could EVER be a democrat for one day! No real christian could be with an antichrist party except a Judas sellout with his hand out. Look at the judgment upon the black race in America for what they have done--they are being utterly destroyed in every way, completely oblivious. The ONLY REASON a black person voted for Obama is because that person is a RACIST. They didn't care what he stood for or believed--he could have said he would wipe out every Jew on the planet, and they still would have voted for him because they are stupid racists. They have MUCH REPENTING and confessing to do. They must admit that these things I write are true, because they are.

    ..

    I bet this Bishop even knows all the history that proves it was the REPUBLICANS who have always championed the rights of Blacks, passed the civil rights legislation, etc., too! The last KKK member in congress was a DEMOCRAT!!!

    The media is now picking up our story to "Dump Starbucks"

    http://www.mediaite.com/online/conse...CUPSo.facebook



    Conservatives Boycott Starbucks Over Coffee Chain’s Support Of Same-Sex Marriage
    by AJ Delgado | 5:58 pm, March 25th, 2013

    Late Sunday evening, TeaParty.net, arguably the largest ‘Tea Party’ organization, appeared to urge a boycott of Starbucks over same-sex marriage.

    The non-profit organization’s Facebook page, which boasts over 1.6 million ‘Likes’, posted the following link to ‘Dump Starbucks’:



    In under 24 hours, the post has received over 13,000 ‘Likes’ and garnered thousands of comments, mostly in support.

    The controversy stems from an exchange during the Starbucks annual shareholders meeting last week, in which Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz strongly reaffirmed the company’s support for same-sex marriage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZKZC1MevMo

    When questioned by Starbucks shareholder, Tom Strobhar (who is also founder of The Corporate Morality Action Center), whether the company’s support for same-sex marriage was hurting its stock price, Schultz noted the company’s decision was not about economics but about embracing diversity, adding (to wild applause from the crowd):

    “If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38 percent you got last year, it’s a free country. You can sell your shares of Starbucks and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much.”
    The petition and website that ‘Tea Party’ linked to, www.dumpstarbucks.com, seems to the same website used in last year’s boycott against Starbucks by the National Organization for Marriage (N.O.M.), a group that promotes traditional marriage. That initial boycott arose shortly after the Seattle-based coffee giant, in January 2012, issued a press release expressing its support for the State of Washington’s legislation recognizing same-sex marriage.

    It is difficult to determine whether N.O.M.’s 2012 boycott had any direct effect on the company’s bottom line but, based on share price, it does not appear to have had a impact. The day NOM announced its boycott, Starbucks shares were trading at about $53 a share. One month later, shares were trading at about $58 a share. (Starbucks’s latest share price, on March 25th, closed at $56.54, in case you’re curious.)

    The ‘Dump Starbucks’ petition currently has almost 55,000 signatories. What is unclear, however, how many of these are in response to the latest incident, or rather signatories carried over from the website’s initial posting one year ago. It appears many of the signatures are not new, as the site had already had over 35,000 signatures in May 2012 (as pictured here).

    Both same-sex marriage and traditional marriage advocates have used boycotts repeatedly. Chick-fil-A faced a boycott last year due to its affiliation with socially conservative groups, leading conservatives to counter by rallying behind the chain. (In fact, Palin was spotted wearing a Chick-fil-A shirt this weekend.) And in 2011, gay rights groups announced a boycott against Target due a controversial political donation.

    On Twitter, many are expressing their plans to #BoycottStarbucks:





    It remains to be seen whether this new call to boycott Starbucks will gain any steam. But one thing is certain — CEO Howard Schultz will likely not be concerned either way.

    http://www.mediaite.com/online/conse...CUPSo.facebook

    comments

    Most of the liberals were all in favor of the Chick-Fil-A boycott and now you call it stupid when some hard-core conservatives want to boycott Starbucks for taking the other side of the same issue? Can you say hypocrisy?

    Lesbian Waitress Who Faked Anti-Gay Receipt Message Suspended From Job; Faces Criminal Charges

    New Jersey waitress Dayna Morales began an online furor around a receipt message she says she received from customers at her job. The image of the receipt went viral with the message scrawled, “Sorry, I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and the way you live your life.”

    There’s only one problem – she made it up.

    The ex-marine was praised by LGBT advocates, who believed her story hook, line and sinker, until the family who had supposedly written the offending message came out and provided proof that they had never written it. So that’s awkward.



    The family, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, talked to NBC Monday and produced their own receipt and a copy of their credit card statement, showing an $18.00 tip. During the interview, the couple even said that they had not voted for Gov. Christie in the latest election because they support gay marriage and he does not.

    Since then, the restaurant began their own investigation into the matter, and have now suspended her.

    Kerry Lawrence, a former federal prosecutor and White Plains criminal defense lawyer, told WTSP that Morales could face criminal fraud charges if it is proven that she made money off of what looks like a hoax. If she donated all the proceeds (Morales posted that she was donating to the Wounded Warrior project), she would most likely not be prosecuted.

    Unfortunately, Kerry Lawrence, is actually incorrect. The term “proceeds” refers to the portion of donations after “expense” and is more or less a meaningless term, since virtually anything can be considered an expense. Morales could be charged with a crime if she keeps any of the money donated.

    Source: Independent Journal Review http://www.ijreview.com/2013/12/9901...minal-charges/

    The sad thing is - and no I do not agree with the life style, but no I also do not "dis it" ... She has done more damage for the GLBC and she doesn't even realize it. Now legit attacks will be seen as HOAX - because of this False Wolf Crier ....



    Couple says they gave Dayna Morales tip, accuse server of lying
    Trenton : NJ : USA | Nov 26, 2013 at 1:18 PM PST

    When gay New Jersey waitress Dayna Morales posted a receipt online showing she hadn’t received a tip from a $93.55 bill, the Internet blew up with support for her. The hateful message she says was written on the receipt by the woman who signed it says, "I'm sorry, but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle & how you live your life."

    The receipt, dated Nov. 13, was first posted to the Facebook site “Have a Gay Day.” It was later picked up by news media outlets, and the story went viral from there. Recently, however, the family in question who is accused of writing the anti-gay note on the merchant’s copy of the receipt has come forward to debunk Morales’ story.

    The family, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, talked to NBC Monday and produced their own receipt and a copy of their credit card statement, showing an $18.00 tip. During the interview, the couple even said that they had not voted for Gov. Christie in the latest election because they support gay marriage and he does not. “Never would a message like that come from us,” the husband said.

    The couple told NBC's News 4 New York the hostess told them that their server’s name was Dan, and when Dayna approached their table, they jokingly said, “You’re not Dan!”

    Some speculation is swirling that Morales was offended and insulted by the couple’s remark and that could be why she did this.

    A closer look

    When the two receipts in question are placed side by side, obvious differences in the handwriting are apparent. First, the two fives in the totals are don’t match. The numbers on the left are more rounded and soft, while the numbers on the right are more angular. It’s obvious two different people wrote the numbers and the message on the left-hand receipt.



    After re-examining the message written on the receipt, I've noticed that the note itself might actually have been written by two different people. When studying the letter y in the message, there is a loop on the left-hand side of the receipt that is written horizontally across, but there is no loop at all in the words starting with y written down the righ-hand side of the note. Compare the word "your" written twice and they look very different.



    Another discrepancy the accused couple points out is that the wife (who signed the receipt) is left-handed. She claims that there is no way she could have written the note on the receipt in that manner, nor could she have drawn a slash through the tip line from right to left as it appears on the receipt. I have a brother who is left-handed, and it is extremely difficult for a lefty to write a message where the words lean to the right. It’s practically impossible. On Reddit, user dispatcher_83 said, “As a lefty there is no way I’d be able to write a note like that with such little room on the left hand side.”

    Another issue that comes up is the ease with which Morales could have printed off another merchant copy receipt and written the statement herself.

    Also, it might be worth considering that after all the comments of support she received on the photo of the receipt, she wrote, “Thanks everyone for your support – it took every fiber of my being not to spit in their food and say something.” Why did she want to spit in their food? Doesn’t the server normally send the food out and then give the diner the bill? Wouldn’t she have gotten the signed receipt back after the food was already consumed? Or, did she want to spit in their food because she was pissy because they accidentally called her Dan? Either way, I don’t believe Morales is being completely honest.

    Now, here’s where it gets really sticky. The restaurant, Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater says that they do not have any other receipt and that their records show the couple in question were charged $93.55, with no tip, but management has refused to produce said receipt to back up its claim. The restaurant is also conducting its own investigation into the matter.

    Why won’t the restaurant produce their records? This is baffling because it would answer the question once and for all as to who was being truthful here. There’s the question as to the authenticity of the credit card statement and one Reddit user even showed how one can save it, go into it, change some code in the saved version and produce a totally different amount from what is actually owed. In the example I’ve linked to, the user changed the amount from $5 to $1,100,000 purchase at a local eatery.



    The deciding factor for me, though, is the server herself, Dayna Morales. When News 4 New York’s Brynn Gingras met with Morales outside the bistro after her shift was over with this new information, Morales shrugged her shoulders multiple times, looked down and away, blinked, and could not answer with anything other than, “I don’t know, I don’t know.” http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local...233040811.html

    I can’t help but think that Morales is lying, especially after seeing her interview.

    Even 'Have a Gay Day' is now questioning the validity of her accusations and is reserving judgment until more information comes out. Morales claims that most of the donations she has received will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. The former Marine is adamant that she is telling the truth and was bilked out of her tip because she is gay.

    The administrators of Have a Gay Day posted Tuesday morning that they received information from the people holding the receipt and showing the tip, with the following remark: http://www.facebook.com/MyGayDay

    “We went to the persons page that had sent us the story. In their thread they commented with some details that were left out of the news stories, like the persons name and background and some details to which give a bit more credibility to the customer holding the receipt.”
    They also received a confirmation from Morales and her employer that donations will be made to WWP and that Gallop Asian Bistro will be matching the amount.

    At this point, it’s uncertain who is being honest and who is lying. But I have my doubts as to the veracity of Morales’ story.

    Who stiffed who? Wounded Warriors has no record of donation from lesbian waitress accused of tip hoax
    Published December 06, 2013/ FoxNews.com


    The lesbian waitress who claimed she received an anti-gay note in lieu of a tip promised to donate the subsequent gratuities that poured in to the Wounded Warrior Project — but the veterans organization reportedly can’t verify it had received any donations from Dayna Morales.

    Morales, a 22-year-old former Marine, claimed last month that a family of four who racked up a $93.55 bill at the Gallop Asian Bistro in Branchburg, N.J., left her no tip, only a note saying they couldn’t leave any extra cash for her service because they “do not agree with your lifestyle.”

    Morales quickly emailed the story to a gay advocacy website and later posted a photograph of the purported check on her Facebook page. The alleged incident made national headlines and resulted in thousands of dollars being donated to Morales, who said she would send all proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project. But a representative of the Florida-based charity could not confirm Morales had made any donations as of Wednesday, Bridgewater Patch reports.

    A representative for the nonprofit group that caters to veterans returning from overseas checked for donations by Morales’ name and within the ZIP codes for Bridgewater, N.J., where she worked, and Bedminster, where Morales said she lives, and was unable to locate any correlating donations. The donations may have been made from a different ZIP code or by a third-party, the representative told the website.

    Morales, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve from July 2009 through May 2013 in Newburgh, N.Y., as an administrative specialist, could not be reached for comment. Restaurant manager Byron Lapola told NJ.com earlier this week that she remains off the schedule, at least temporarily.

    “We’re still waiting for the owners to finish their investigation,” Lapola told the website. “It’s pretty complex, so until then we’re restraining comment.”

    The couple accused of leaving the note for Morales has since denied doing so, telling NBC 4 New York they did in fact leave an $18 tip on the $93 bill. The unidentified couple also provided the station a credit card statement that indicated the tip, according to the report.

    NBC News has also reported that a Pentagon source said Morales was dismissed from the Marine Reserve Corps in May because she was not attending drills and that she was discharged under “less than honorable” conditions.

    Several of Morales’ acquaintances also since questioned her credibility. Kristina Calamusa, who described herself as a former friend of Morales, told The Daily Caller late last month that the waitress claimed to her that she was “blown up by a land mine overseas.”

    But, according to Calamusa, that story was false; Morales was never on active duty. The Journal News of White Plains, N.Y., has also quoted acquaintances of Morales who say she lied about her military service.

    Julie Howat and Karolee Larkin, both 23, related to the newspaper a story Morales supposedly told them about her serving in Afghanistan and surviving an explosion that killed everyone in her platoon, leaving her as the unit’s sole survivor. But Maj. Shawn Haney, a spokesman for the Marines, said in an email to The Journal News that while Morales did serve in the Marines Corps reserve from July 2009 to May 2013, there’s no indication in her record of combat service in Afghanistan or Iraq. “While (Morales) did not fulfill her reserve obligation, per the Privacy Act, administrative actions are not releasable,” Haney said. “The same applies to character of service and type of discharge.”

    That’s not all Morales has allegedly concocted about her past, acquaintances said. “She said that her dad raped her and got her pregnant,” Kiersten Bremer told The Daily Caller News Foundation. When Morales failed to produce a child, she told Bremer and other friends that she had cervical cancer which spread to the baby, killing it, Bremer claims.

    Bremer says Morales later admitted she fabricated the entire story.

    Another story comes from a day care center where she once worked, when she told co-workers that Superstorm Sandy so badly damaged her former home in Stony Point, N.Y., that a boat tore through the living room, The Journal News reported. Concerned friends who stopped by the house found only minor damage to the carpet by the front door and no indications of the catastrophic damage Morales described. “Every story she comes up with has a lie,” Howat said.

    Guess What Chick-Fil-A is Forcing on People Now!
    by Christy Lee Parker / on February 5, 2014

    As we can all recall, Chick-Fil-A was the center of controversy as they were accused of “forcing their religious views” on others when president Dan Cathy made his political leanings known regarding gay marriage. You’ll never guess what the once demonized business is now forcing on others now – FOOD. Yep, that’s right, food.

    According to Fox News, a local Chick-Fil-A came to the rescue as a rare snowstorm in the South left citizens stranded on icy interstates and highways, including Highway 280 in Birmingham, Alabama. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of the restaurant employees and owner, Mark Meadows, a good number of stranded motorists were able to find food and shelter from the storm.

    Meadows closed the restaurant and sent his staff home when the snow started to accumulate, but a few hours later, many returned to the restaurant, unable to get home due to the weather and road conditions. Audrey Pitt, store manager recounts her experience, “Our store is about a mile and a half from the interstate and it took me two hours to get there. It was a parking lot as far as I could see.” Due to the conditions, Audrey decided to leave her car on the side of the interstate and joined the bundled up drivers trudging through the snow on foot. Describing the scene, she said, “At one point there were more people walking than driving.”

    The staff of the Chick-fil-A, a company founded on Christian principles, decided to lend a helping hand to the drivers – some of which had been stuck in their cars for almost seven hours without food or water.

    The stranded employees that had returned to the restaurant cooked several hundred sandwiches and stood out on both sides of Highway 280 and handed out the sandwiches to anyone they could get to, slipping and sliding as they braved the falling snow and ice. The best part – the meal was a gift and Chick-Fil-A refused to take a single penny for the sandwiches.

    Stranded drivers were surprised by the free sandwiches and grateful for the hot meal. Why didn’t Chick-Fil-A choose to make some extra money during the storm? They had a captive crowd of customers, unable to go to another restaurant, so why did they choose to give the food away? Audrey explained, “This company is based on taking care of people and loving people before you’re worried about money or profit. We were just trying to follow the model that we’ve all worked under for so long and the model that we’ve come to love. There was really nothing else we could have done but try to help people any way we could.”

    Chick-Fil-A’s generosity didn’t stop there. After delivering the food and even helping drivers maneuver along the icy road by pushing a car up an incline, the owner and staff took it one step further and opened up their dining room to anyone who wanted to sleep on a bench or a booth. This morning, the weary staff members fired up their ovens once again and began preparing chicken biscuits. The only thing that Chick-Fil-A has closed is its cash register, giving the stranded motorists another free meal.

    Chick-Fil-A played out the biblical values they were once fiercely criticized for following.
    Matthew 25:35 “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in…”
    Will this example of Christian values receive the same publicity as the others Chick-Fil-A once verbalized? Unfortunately, it’s doubtful, but for whatever it is worth, we applauds Chick-Fil-A for their ongoing demonstration of Christian values. We hope our readers will give Chick-Fil-A the positive media coverage they deserve by sharing this story on social media

    Chick-Fil-A founder Truett Cathy dead at 93
    Monday, September 8, 2014 - 3:31am

    ATLANTA, GA (NBC33) — Chick-fil-A announced to its employees Monday morning that founder S. Truett Cathy died at the age of 93. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones.

    Cathy was known for his deep Christian faith. He built a tiny diner in the Atlanta suburb of Hapeville, Georgia in 1946. He developed it into Chick-fil-A, which now has annual sales of about $5 billion. The restaurant chain has more than 1,800 restaurants in 40 states and Washington, D.C.

    The restaurant chain announced that even after Cathy's death, it will remain closed on Sundays and will stay privately held.

    Cathy was often quoted as saying: "I'd like to be remembered as one who kept my priorities in the right order. We live in a changing world, but we need to be reminded that the important things have not changed. I have always encouraged my restaurant operators and team members to give back to the local community. We should be about more than just selling chicken, we should be a part of our customers' lives and the communities in which we serve."

    Cathy received countless awards over the years, and he wrote several books.

    Cathy is survived by his wife of 65 years, Jeannette McNeil Cathy; sons Dan T. and Don "Bubba" Cathy; daughter Trudy Cathy White; 19 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.

    Cathy was often quoted as saying: "I'd like to be remembered as one who kept my priorities in the right order. We live in a changing world, but we need to be reminded that the important things have not changed. I have always encouraged my restaurant operators and team members to give back to the local community. We should be about more than just selling chicken, we should be a part of our customers' lives and the communities in which we serve."

    he could have taught our government a thing or two and our government would have learned what it meant to have values and ethics. they could have set a standard that americans would gladly follow instead of what we have today. you do not have to be a christian to understand his message. the sad part is that this administration was out to get him and his company while letting other major events pass right by.

    University students use dumbest rationale ever to oppose Chick-fil-A on campus
    Written by Michele Hickford, Editor-in-Chief on April 24, 2015


    never realized a chicken sandwich and waffle-cut fries could cause such OUTRAGE among the left, but when they’re cooked by CHRISTIANS, they do.

    Chick-Fil-A is now under attack at Johns Hopkins University because of its owner’s stand on traditional marriage. But it’s not even the actual reality of Chick-fil-A – it’s the mere THOUGHT of Chick-Fil-A, which can apparently cause severe trauma in certain sensitive brains.






    The Daily Caller reports that the Johns Hopkins University Student Government Association actually created “A Resolution Regarding the SGA’s Opinion on Current and Future Chick-Fil-A Development Plans.”

    The resolution attempts to prevent Chick-fil-A from operating on campus “in a current or future sense.”
    http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/23/jo...roaggressions/

    The student government stated it “vehemently opposes” Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s opposition to gay marriage.

    Because of Cathy’s views, the student government argues, “visiting prospective and current students, staff, faculty, and other visitors who are members of the LGBTQ+ community (by the way, as we reported yesterday, there are a lot of other interesting proclivities after that “plus” http://allenbwest.com/2015/04/too-mu...ousing-option/ ) or are allies would be subjected to the microaggression of supporting current or future Chick-fil-A development plans.”

    The resolution suggests that in searching for food vendors on campus, the university should “seek out other similar non-discriminatory alternatives.”

    “Microagression?” Is that even visible to the naked eye?

    Why do these colleges even pretend to be forums for open discussion of ideas and free speech? I guess a degree in “Liberal Arts” really is, literally. If it ain’t liberal, it ain’t art. And if it’s not liberal it’s not even allowed on campus.

    Let me just say I am subject to the “microagression” of having to acknowledge Barack Obama was elected president TWICE – and we still have two more years left. So I do this for a living.

    I am subject to the “microagression” of deeply offensive lyrics in popular music and the hyper-sexualized images in music videos. So I just don’t listen to it.

    I am subject to the “microagression” of Hollywood types like Sean Penn and Gwyneth Paltrow spouting inane liberal comments. So I won’t pay a penny to see their films.

    So if folks at JHU are so incensed by the mere presence of a Chick-fil-A on campus, how ‘bout they simply NEVER GO IN?

    Our freedoms are under assault by the tyranny of the minority, and the majority is being cowed into silence for fear of being labeled intolerant, homophobic or racist.

    I am really sick and tired of the left telling me what I can and cannot think. And keep your hands off my nuggets!
