Kirk Cameron Calls Homosexuality What It Is: ‘Unnatural’ And ‘Destructive To… Civilization’



Of course, it's always shocking to immoral, social liberals, atheists and anyone who doesn't put God first in their life (much less people who don't have God in their lives at all) that a Christian man would come out and rightly say that homosexuality is "unnatural" (duh! just look at the way our bodies are made and the fact that homosexual sex is a behavioral choice that solely exists for self-pleasure) and "destructive to civilization". As social liberals continue to spread and impose their immoral views on others, Christians are often afraid to speak God's words publicly for fear of being branded a "bigot" by the anti-God Left. But Cameron, a Christian, successful actor, evangelical speaker, husband and father of six knows better and while he should've added that homosexuality is "sinful" during his interview with Piers Morgan, the fact that he went toe-to-toe with a militant member of the liberal press and stood up for what he believed in should garner him much praise in the Christian conservative community:
Former teen heartthrob turned conservative opinionator Kirk Cameron visited Piers Morgan earlier in the week and talked faith and politics, though Morgan had to work to get some answers. When he did get answers on social issues, however, Cameron’s declaration that homosexuality was “ultimately destructive to so many foundations of civilization” left him somewhat shocked.


Cameron noted that he watched many people on cable news “to try to give me a clear picture to know as a father what to teach our kids,” and to that end, Morgan started quizzing him on social issues. “I feel like I just got imported into the Christine O’Donnell interview you did in August,” he replied, clearly uncomfortable, but eased up when Morgan explained that his question stemmed from a desire to know him as a father better. So he gave his position on gay marriage.


“Marriage was designed by God a long time ago… it’s almost as old as dirt. I would never attempt to redefine marriage.” When asked if he considered homosexuality a sin, he answered, “I think its unnatural, I think it’s detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many foundations of civilization.” Morgan didn’t question it, but followed up asking what Cameron would do if his child were gay. “Just because you feel that way doesn’t mean you have to act on everything you feel,” he told Morgan. He footnoted his statements with the fact that “I believe all of us are sinful,” so the word meant only a human status. Morgan asked him also about abortion, which Cameron opposed in all circumstances, even in rape, saying that killing “a little creature made in God’s image” would be “compounding the problem.”


Cameron’s comments on homosexuality offended many, including GLAAD, which issued a statement and has put together a petition against Cameron:


“In this interview, Kirk Cameron sounds even more dated than his 1980s TV character,” said Herndon Graddick, Senior Director of Programs at GLAAD. “Cameron is out of step with a growing majority of Americans, particularly people of faith who believe that their gay and lesbian brothers and sisters should be loved and accepted based on their character and not condemned because of their sexual orientation.”

Far-Left Rolling Stone Magazine Writer Matt Taibbi Says He's Glad That Andrew Breitbart Is Dead


For real liberals compassion is an inbred trait given to anyone in a time of crisis. But for the mostly-white, morally-bankrupt social liberals on the political Left anyone who dares to disagree with their views are not only unworthy of sympathy, but they deserve to die and can rot in hell...even if they're a father of four. But then it's who they are:
And it gets much worse from there...


I almost hate to draw attention to this incredibly sad example of the intolerant left over at Rolling Stone, but quite frankly, Andrew Breitbart probably would have eaten this up, and tweeted it back out.


Matt Taibi, who delusionally lists himself among the ranks of 'journalist' and 'political writer' took things way too far today, posting a blog entry on the Rolling Stone site which is, in a word - abhorrent.


We've all seen examples of the intolerant left on Twitter, something that sadly is to be expected in such a crazy and unregulated platform. But when you represent a magazine like Rolling Stone and publish something like this, then you've clearly forfeitted your right to ever, ever, call yourself a journalist. You barely have the right to call yourself a man.


The article won't be linked here, but you can read some excerpts below - provided you have a strong enough stomach.


(Language Warning)


Taibbi posted a piece in which the title says it all - Andrew Breitbart: Death of a Douche.


A classy start that goes downhill from there.


So Andrew Breitbart is dead. Here’s what I have to say to that, and I’m sure Breitbart himself would have respected this reaction: Good! Fuck him. I couldn’t be happier that he’s dead.


Taibbi then rounded out his piece with this paragraph, in which he appears to justify his language and contempt because Breitbart has used such language in the past.


But he also had enough of a sense of humor to appreciate why someone like me shouldn’t bother to pretend I’m sad he’s dead. He wouldn’t, in my place. So to use one of his favorite words: Good riddance, cocksucker.* Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.


None of this should be a surprise really, as this man has a history of writing such controversial pieces. Taibbi was mentioned in this New York Times Art section entry for another piece that celebrated the death of a great man.


Jeff Koyen, the editor of New York Press, the pugnacious free weekly, resigned yesterday over a cover article last week that ridiculed the failing health of Pope John Paul II. The article, a column by Matt Taibbi, had the headline "The 52 Funniest Things About the Upcoming Death of the Pope."


While the editor of the New York Press had the decency and common sense to resign over such an incendiary piece, don't expect so much as an apology from Rolling Stone.


This is what they view as 'journalism' there, and it is precisely what Andrew Breitbart has fought against for so many years.


While the sickest members of the liberal media continue to spew their hatred for a man who fought to expose what they truly represent, we can take solace in the fact that Andrew is laughing and retweeting this liberal bile straight from heaven.

Andrew Breitbart R.I.P.



CNN.com:
Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger whose posting of a sexually explicit photo of former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner led to the congressman's downfall, has died, his attorney confirmed Thursday.


He was 43.


Joel Pollak, editor-in-chief and in-house counsel for Breitbart's website, Breitbart.com, posted a statement confirming his death.


"Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles," the statement read. "We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior."


A Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman said paramedics received an unspecified medical call at 11:10 p.m. Wednesday.. Breitbart was transported to UCLA Medical Center and pronounced dead 19 minutes after midnight, said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner.


An autopsy is planned for Friday, Winter said, but the Los Angeles Police Department said it is not investigating the circumstances of his death.


Breitbart was the first to post Weiner's infamous Twitter photos last year, in which the married congressman appeared barechested and in his underpants in pictures sent to a woman online. Weiner eventually stepped down amid the scandal.


Breitbart's regular appearances on FOX News, his websites and his speeches to conservative groups made him a star on the right and a villain to the left.


Republican presidential candidates quickly responded to news of Breitbart's death. Former Sen. Rick Santorum called him a "powerful force" who was "constantly out there driving and pushing."


"What a huge loss, in my opinion, to our country and certainly to the conservative movement," Santorum said.


Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tweeted: "Andrew Breitbart was the most innovative pioneer in conservative activist social media in America. He had great courage and creativity."


And former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney called Breitbart a "brilliant entrepreneur, fearless conservative, loving husband and father."


Breitbart was a driving force in the conservative tea party movement. In a statement on his death, the Tea Party Nation said Breittbart was an "amazing patriot" who"relished fighting those who would destroy this great country."
I wasn't a huge fan of the guy or his tactics or his sometimes mundane defense of them, but the way Breitbart was always willing to get up in the face of the idiots on the insane-Left as well as his many detractors forever got my respect. Either way 43 is way too young to die. RIP.

Ann Coulter To Bill O’Reilly: Michigan Win Shows ‘Democrats Are Terrified’ Of Romney



Mediaite.com:
Ann Coulter returned to The O’Reilly Factor today to discuss her candidate Mitt Romney‘s victories last night and the challenges he may face in the future, and she defended him by process of elimination, pointing out the flaws of the other candidates and wondering aloud when they will drop out. She also addressed the issue of Rep. Ron Paul possibly colluding with Romney to land his son a spot in the potential 2013 Cabinet, something she disproved to herself by noting that Rep. Paul “was also soft on Herman Cain.”


Coulter, like Romney before her, agreed with Sen. John McCain‘s contention that the primary battle had gone on too long and damaged the candidates. “I think this has gone far enough, it’s just depleting resources that Mitt Romney is going to need to run against Obama.” She added that while many were arguing that Romney should drop out if he lost Michigan, “at what point do the other candidates have to drop out?”


She noted that she considered the Michigan win huge, as “it shows the Democrats are terrified of him,” particularly the high number of Democrats that voted for Santorum there (the primary was open). When asked whether his gaffes that made him appear detached and too wealthy hurt him, Coulter noted that these were the result of “people really grasping at straws” as opposed to the issues other candidates have had, with Newt Gingrich‘s “right wing social engineering remark” and Santorum’s contraception campaign. She suggested to Romney that “the line he should that is that it’s not rich vs. poor” but who pays taxes vs. who receives that money.


She ended by noting that she found the Ron Paul- Romney rumors not surprising at all but did not believe there was any collusion. “Of course Ron Paul supports Mitt Romney,” she noted, “he was also soft on Herman Cain.” This, she explained, was because Rep. Paul “admires people in the private sector” more than career politicians.

Led By Lesbian Gay Activist Ellen Degeneres, Liberals Try To Imprison Innocent Rutgers College Student Dharun Ravi


Oftentimes Ellen Degeneres reminds me of the famous line from the movie "The Usual Suspects": 'The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist'. That the oft-branded "Nicest Person In The World" (and apolitical too!) Degeneres can continue to get away with being the most powerful gay activist in the world without anyone actually saying it is a testament to her character and her shrewdness. If only poor Dharun Ravi had a clue:
Prosecutors in New Jersey have pulled off a neat trick: They have made a victim out of an immature jerk loathed by much of the country when he came to its attention two years ago.

Dharun Ravi is the Rutgers University student who used a webcam to spy on his gay roommate, Tyler Clementi. When Clementi committed suicide by throwing himself off the George Washington Bridge, the tragedy became a morality play.

It was widely reported that Ravi had posted a video of the closeted Clementi having sex, and thus outed him and drove him to take his own life.

Shy and a talented violinist, Clementi became a national symbol of anti-gay bullying. “Something must be done,” declared Ellen DeGeneres.

The prosecutors have duly done something: After he refused to admit guilt in a plea deal, they’ve thrown the book at Ravi, who could face 10 years in prison if convicted in a trial that has just begun.

They are pursuing Ravi to the utmost despite the unraveling of the tidy black-and-white story that rightly outraged people at the time of Clementi’s death.

In a long, nuanced account of the case in The New Yorker, Ian Parker reports that the initial narrative about the tragedy was entirely erroneous: “There was no posting, no observed sex and no closet.”

Parker’s piece won’t make anyone warm up to Dharun Ravi. He is portrayed as an arrogant showoff, desperate to cover his tracks with authorities once he finds out about Clementi’s awful fate.

But he isn’t worthy of prison time, either. It can only be misplaced zeal on the part of New Jersey’s prosecutors that makes them so determined to define Ravi’s conduct as criminal spying and (in the charge that brings the most jail time) “bias intimidation.”

Ravi and Clementi agreed to become roommates their freshman year after finding one another online. Ravi quickly discovered that Clementi was gay, because his prospective roommate was posting on a gay Web site. (Clementi came out to his parents shortly before leaving for school.)

Ravi and a friend engaged in juvenile banter, making fun of Clementi for being gay, “poor” and uncool.

It’s painful to read, but no different than what high-school students say about one another all the time.

Clementi and Ravi barely talked when they lived together. One night, Clementi asked Ravi to leave him alone with a nonstudent in his mid-20s for what turned out to be an assignation. From a friend’s room across the hall, Ravi briefly turned on his webcam and saw the two in an embrace. He derisively tweeted that he saw his roommate “making out with a dude.”

Clementi later saw Ravi’s tweet and agonized about what to do. In the meantime, he asked for the room again for another tryst, and this time Ravi tweeted that people should tap into his webcam for a show. But Clementi turned off Ravi’s computer, and the viewing never happened.

Clementi requested a change of roommates. With that, and disciplinary action against Ravi, it should have ended.

There are no laws against obnoxious disregard for the feelings of a sensitive young man. Parker writes that the indictment against Ravi “can be seen as a kind of regretful commentary about the absence of such statutes.”

The case against him for invasion of privacy is shaky since he apparently neither expected to see, nor actually saw, any “intimate parts” (as specified in the law) the first time around, and the second time no one saw anything.

The charges for “bias intimidation” — a scandalously amorphous category — are weaker. One gets the sense that Ravi may well have hit it off with Clementi if his roommate had been more gregarious. And one can imagine, as Parker notes, him being just as scornful if Clementi’s sexual partner had been an unattractive woman.

Trying to right a wrong that the law can’t reach, the prosecutors are guilty of perpetrating one themselves.

Obama To Cut Healthcare Benefits for Active Duty and Retired US Military


FreeBeacon.com:
The Obama administration’s proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers’ benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare’s state-run insurance exchanges.


The disparity in treatment between civilian and uniformed personnel is causing a backlash within the military that could undermine recruitment and retention.


The proposed increases in health care payments by service members, which must be approved by Congress, are part of the Pentagon’s $487 billion cut in spending. It seeks to save $1.8 billion from the Tricare medical system in the fiscal 2013 budget, and $12.9 billion by 2017.


Many in Congress are opposing the proposed changes, which would require the passage of new legislation before being put in place.


“We shouldn’t ask our military to pay our bills when we aren’t willing to impose a similar hardship on the rest of the population,” Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and a Republican from California, said in a statement to the Washington Free Beacon. “We can’t keep asking those who have given so much to give that much more.”
Put your life on the line for your country and this is the thanks you get from a far-Left, Democrat president.

Melissa Harris-Perry Revisits Everything She Hates About The Help In Oscar Preview



Mediaite.com:
When The Help first came out, Melissa Harris-Perry quickly became one of its most vocal critics, arguing that the film sets back black actors by reducing them to the role of maids and glossing over some of the more heinous aspects of the black domestic worker experience. Now that the film is among the buzzworthiest at the Oscars tomorrow, Harris-Perry revisited the film today on her eponymous program, reiterating that the obfuscating of serious concerns for black women in the service industry was particularly problematic.


The film, she told her audience today, “erases and then rewrites a rich and robust history in which black women never needed someone to speak for them” by making the protagonist a white woman. She explained that the real protagonist who grows as a person is white, while the black characters are there to feed her growth. In this manned, the film erased a horrid reality about the service industry at the time: “for black maids, the threat of rape was always a clear and present danger.” She clarified that she had nothing against the actresses in the film and meant it only as a criticism of Hollywood that they “would have to use their extraordinary talent” to portray maids, a role black women have had in film for decades.


Her panelists agreed– Micki McElya noting that beyond the glossing over of the rape issue, it was problematic to promote the idea that “the black woman working in a white household is there because she loves to be there” and thus doesn’t need reasonable hours or pay, and is willing to do anything. Leader of a domestic worker action network Barbara Young was actually the most sympathetic towards the film, and particularly the “humanizing relationship between the domestic worker and the child,” a point Harris-Perry agreed was positive, as it showed the capacity for compassion across classes. Elon James White, the lone man on the panel for this segment, was just as offended with “they disneyfication of this deep thing” and the idea that The Help was a black film when “it was more like a white woman’s coming of age, [but] sprinkle a little oppression over it.”
