DriveThru – Get What You Need

It’s come to our attention that President Obama will “commemorate” the enactment of the hate-crimes bill this Wednesday, October 28th.

Let’s all pause and listen to the sound of a little more of your religious liberty being flushed down the toilet.

Because let’s be honest. This bill was never about addressing the “epidemic” of hate crimes against homosexuals that advocates claimed it was.  There was and is no epidemic — as my colleague Bruce made very clear in this post.

The hate-crimes bill is, at its heart, about ensuring that those who believe in God’s design for male-female sexuality are scared into silence and coerced into acceptance.   Gay rights activists—emboldened by an ally in the White House and Democrat majority in Congress—are pushing for the complete normalization of homosexuality in every arena of society.

And they’re not done yet.

They want private employers to be banned from making hiring and firing decisions based on their religious convictions about homosexuality (note to for-profit, Christian business owners and employers: beware).  They’re also demanding more benefits for homosexual partners of federal employees, even after President Obama extended benefits by executive order.  And let’s not forget their holy grail: repealing the longstanding military policy of preventing homosexuals from serving in the military.  Or perhaps their holy grail is the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act.  (You know, that pesky thing that defines marriage as – oh my goodness! – between one man and one woman).

So when Wednesday rolls around and President Obama and his gay activist allies are celebrating their victory over religious liberty in the White House, do a little pondering on this: elections matter.
