Mayes Betrays Pro-Family GOP Base: Tell Him "Fight for Life and Family NOW!"

BREAKING: Assembly GOP Betrays Families, Praises Harvey Milk and LGBT Organizations This week, California's Assembly Republicans, under the leadership of Assemblyman Chad Mayes, appear to be breaking away from their party’s platform and embracing an agenda hostile to traditional marriage, religious liberty, and Christian values. On Tuesday, the official Assembly Republican Caucus sent out the following tweet praising LGBT hero Harvey Milk and commending two of the most influential LGBT organizations in the country. The above tweet was liked by Assembly Republican Minority Leader Chad Mayes and Assemblywoman Catherine Baker, and surprisingly re-tweeted by the California Republican Party. Equality California (an aggressive LGBT organization) and the Log Cabin Republicans both oppose the California Republican Party Platform which states the following in the "Family" section: The California Republican Party affirms the family as the natural and indispensable institution for human development. A strong and healthy family unit is the heart of the home—a safe surrounding where family decisions are made, children are raised, and morality is taught. The family is a foundation on which American society has grown and prospered for over 200 years. We support the two- parent family as the best environment for raising children, and therefore believe that it is important to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The Supreme Court’s ruling cannot and must not be used to coerce a church or religious institution into performing marriages that their faith does not recognize. We believe public policy and education should not be exploited to advocate or teach any social or political agenda.

ACTION STEPS Call the Republican members of the Assembly today an ask them: Will the GOP Assembly delete the tweet and issue a formal apology? If not, are the Assembly Republicans abandoning the traditional marriage plank in California party platform?   If Assemblyman Chad Mayes is unwilling to delete this tweet, California Republicans must demand new leadership that refuses to abandon our values or betray families and children.   Please Call TODAY and EVERY DAY NEXT WEEK!   Assembly Minority Leader Chad Mayes Capitol:  916-319-2042 District:  760-346-6342

Stand4Truth Conference Day One: Arriving in Houston

I had never planned my own airplane trip before.

Accomplishing new tasks does not have to be scary.

What we all need to know is that we have nothing to fear from trying, from expanding, from reaching out and going to new places and doing new things.

Houston Texas!

I have never been to a Southern State before - at least a state in the Deep South!

But this was my chance.

I feel so much gratitude to MassResistance, and the Director Brian Camenker.

I had long looked forward to learning more about the underlying issues associated with same-sex behavior, attraction, and the inimical, destructive LGBT agenda.

I learned a great deal from this conference.

But first, I just want to write about what it was like getting there.

A good friend of mine, Tracy Hopkins, drove me to the airport.

I was really impressed with how much she knew about getting from point A to Point B at LAX.

I ended up arriving at the airport much sooner than needed, but that was no big deal.

It was great to see so many people ready to take off to different places all over the country.

The flight to Houston was delayed for one hour, and it seemed it would extend to an hour and a half.

Thankfully, the delay lasted only one hour.

Off we go to Houston!

I ended up landing in Texas at 2:00am Friday morning!

I was tired. I had not slept for nearly 24 hours!

But I was glad to be in Texas.

The Hobby Airport was a sight to behold!

Only in Texas will they tell visitors not to bring in UN-licensed firearms.

Reminder: open carry is legal in Texas, and the crime rates going down testify to its effectiveness!

The architecture and artifacts in Hobby Airport were nice to see, too:

What a wonderful place to be!

More on what happened that morning, October 28th, 2016 soon!

Stand4Truth: What True Reparative Therapy is

Dr. David Pickup tells the truth about his calling in Reparative Therapy.

He helps men, young and old, to deal with unwanted sexual attraction which often results from sexual abusive or distance and a lack of attention, affirmation, affection from our fathers.

Fatherhood is absolutely crucial for young men.

This needs to be restored!

Media Fail: Misguided Mexican Boy Stands in the Way of Principled Pro-Marriage Populism

I wonder how many of you read the following headline in USA Today (if you can stand to read the liberal mainstream media at all):

See 12-year-old boy stand up against anti-gay protesters in Mexico

If there's one thing that I like about Donald Trump, he has done an exquisite job exposing the corrupting, corrosive left-wing agenda pervasive in the media. Their arrogance, their elitism is finally getting turned on their hands. Their attempt to claim some moral high ground and shame everyone who believes in tradition, read true, values is finally getting the much-needed dressing down they deserve.

What was the USA Today  propagandist (not journalist) above writing about?

First, a little background.

If you are not aware already, the Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto wants to pass a law making the destructive redefinition of marriage legal in all the state of Mexico.

He is forcing the gay agenda onto all Mexican citizens, and the vast majority of them are shouting ¡Basta!

Perhaps that's why Peña Nieto eagerly called a press conference with Donald Trump earlier this month: anything to distract from his historically disastrous move to harm his citizens and upend the laws of nature--and his really bad approval ratings.

And yet, instead of featuring the wide swath of Mexican citizens opposed to this destructive agenda (unhealthy, unwise, and immoral), the media wanted to turn an anonymous 12-year old boy into some kind of pro-gay folk hero.

Here is the first description of the photo:

A photo of a 12-year-old boy in the middle of the street trying to block thousands of anti-gay protesters in Celaya, Guanajuato, has gone viral.

Right away, the negative bias begins. The people who support natural marriage are viewed as "anti", when they are actually pro-biology. "Look at the brave little boy standing up to all the Mexican bigots" is the idea that the liberal newscorps want everyone to walk away with.

I say it's time to walk away from these fraudulent press agents.

What we are witnessing in Mexico right now, and across Latin America, is the pro-family movement standing up and shouting ¡Alto! to the destructive, regressive LGBT agenda. They have seen the damage waged by the LGBT lobby in Western Europe and the United States. The venereal diseases, the attacks on natural rights, the limitations on religious liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of inquiry, and exploration for truth.

What the photographers captured, and yet missed, is not a bunch of paisas  trying to stem progress, but godly, blessed, principled populism at its best. They are demonstrating the mature organized response to government tyranny.

Pro-Family Mexicans reject "gay marriage"

Every pro-family group throughout the world should applaud what the Mexican people are doing.

While Western Europe and American Christians were blind-sided by the abusive tidal wave for homosexual marriage, the Latin American countries are rising up and pushing back.

Instead of focusing on the purposeful populism of Christian communities throughout the Mexican nation, the media focused on the boy, whom some reports have indicated was standing up to the crowd because he was tired of  "the hate".

Christians, conservatives, pro-family advocates, anyone who respects and recognizes procreation need to stand up to this bullying, anti-Christian, anti-reality bigotry.

Incredible numbers turn out to stop destruction of marriage

The truth is, that 12-year-old boy is not a hero. He is misguided, probably misinformed and indoctrinated in the local schools, for public schooling in Mexico are dying under the same sclerotic fist of corrupt (and left-wing) teachers unions.

The USA Today propaganda continued:

Over the weekend, thousands of groups protested against same-sex marriage across Mexico after President President Peña Nieto proposed to change the country’s constitution to allow same-sex marriage nationally. Same-sex marriage is allowed in Mexico City, as well as in Coahuila, Quintana Roo, Jalisco, Nayarit, Chihuahua and Sonora. Gay marriage is still illegal in many of Mexico’s 31 states, according to the Guardian.

Let's not forget that The Guardian epitomizes left-wing bias, refusing to identify illegal aliens as illegal, but lumping them in with all other immigrants. Not just biased, but distorted and erroneous. Their take on the culture wars of today should not sway us.

Second of all, not thousands but HUNDREDS of thousand of Mexican citizens have protested against their deeply unpopular President and his heinous same-sex marriage agenda.

Then comes another offensive historical distortion in the article:

The image of one child standing up against nearly 11,000 protesters has captivated viewers. The photograph was taken by journalist Manuel Rodriguez, according to Mexican publication Regeneración. 

Notice right there that the article exposes its petty attempt to dumb down the widespread protests against the destruction of marriage.

"The image recalls, for its elements (an individual of unknown identity facing a much larger force him to defend a cause that considers fair), the famous photograph of "Tank Man" protests Tiananmen Square, China, in 1989," the publication wrote.

OUTRAGEOUS!

I remember that picture from Tiananmen Square. The viewers around the world did not call him "Tank Man"--he was not even in a tank!

He was standing in front of the imperious tank guard of the People's Republic (in name only) of China, and resisting the criminal, terrorist crackdowns on peaceful demonstrators. The Chinese people were fighting for freedom from the oppressive state.

There is NO comparison. NONE!

So what do you know: USA Today  has now denigrated hundreds of thousands of Mexican citizens, treating them as the tyrannical oppressors, when in truth the aggressive, regressive LGBT agenda and its enablers (like Nieto) are the government bullies.

The true oppressors, the regressive homosexual lobby, have turned into a globalist fraud masquerading as the next civil rights movement.

But the Mexican people are standing up to it.

And this distortion of history, coupled with the brazen agenda-making in the USA Today, is proof that the Left is losing the argument, and will be left behind.

Let us stand with the Mexican People, not just praising their courage, and demand that President Enrique Peña Nieto back off and respect biology and biblical morality.

How Better to Fight for Individual Liberty

The Missouri state legislature was very close to putting on the statewide ballot an up-or-down vote for the citizens, whether to protect freedom of conscience for all Missourians

Would Christian bakeries have to bake a wedding cake for a homosexual wedding?

Would pastors and clergy have to officiate gay weddings if they activity violated their beliefs?

Would charities have to cater to homosexual conduct and celebrate it?

The Missouri Democrats in the state senate filibustered for forty hours to try to stop the legislation.

It survived, but in the Missouri house, it went down to defeat.

What happened?

The same collusion of Big Business and the Big Gay Hate Machine went to work and out-organized the pro-life, pro-liberty support in the state house.

One of the pro-freedom forces documented some of the lessons learned from this set-back:

1) Yes, the culture wars have moved this far, this fast. Get over it.

I recall the shock which Oprah Winfrey felt when Texas ranchers were suing her for libel of their beef products. At the time, Dr. Phil McGraw was a juror psychologist helping the Oprah team prepare for the trial. She was in tears, could not believe that this massive lawsuit was taking her down, could even ruin her media empire.

Dr. Phil's answer: "Get over it! Get with it! This is happening, and you need to fight!"

Many Christians had pushed aside the notion that the culture wars were going to escalate this quickly, with such devastating destruction.

It has happened, and it's time to stop being surprised. It's time to fight back!

2) Both sides are 100 percent committed to the idea of their own righteousness.

We need to stop thinking that we can find middle ground on these issues. Either we respect freedom of conscience, or we don't. Either we fight for the true definition of marriage, or we don't.

These cultural and fiscal issues cannot be decided or determined by "compromise." The extremes define the center, and the extreme progressivism of Barack Obama is wrecking the country and wreaking havoc on the political argument.

We will lose some friends, and we may gain supporters from people whom we have never thought to work with.

3) Your friends in business aren’t committed.

Pro-business people are that--pro-business. A cursory reading of The Wealth of Nations should remind conservatives that pro-business does not necessarily pro-liberty or pro-free market. Mnay times, business owners--especially the large, corporate firms--want to wield government influence to their favor to get rid of competition.

Think about it. Businesses which will not cater to homosexual weddings get rubbed out, and those businesses whose owners have no moral scruples can reap the benefits. Also bear in mind that many large companies, like Target, have been overrun with pro-gray elements, whether the CEO, or members of the board of directors, and sometimes family members have persuaded both to accommodate such destructive policies.

Big Business wants to avoid big fights. Don't depend on them to lead the way.

4) The other side’s public officials want this fight more than ours.

The Left wants to fight against freedom of faith, religion, and conscience. They have nothing left to lose, since they are losing on every front all over the country. In the relatively few states where Democrats control the state legislature and the governorship, they are running their states into the ground, ruining them perpetually. They have no interest in good governance, just raw power, and they will find any divisive issue to distract from their own destruction--and destructive policies.

5) We can’t allow our surrogates and supporters to become the story.

We need to control our message all across the board. Just as Big Business has little courage, Big Media has little integrity, and is interested in fomenting conflict which makes pro-family, pro-liberty forces look bad, or at least backward.

6) Social networks matter. A lot. And the other side is using them much better than we are.

It's not enough to have numbers. Coordination and organization are key. A small, yet tightly-bound team is more effective than a loose community. Which ones will vote more, make the case stronger?Yes, conservatives have won the argument. When are they going to put more effort to win the vote?

7) Don’t wait for the cavalry, it isn’t coming.

You make the fight. You make it happen. It's not enough, it's not wise to wait for someone else to fight.

8) You have to try to find a way to be winsome if you’re going to win hearts and minds.

Don't get angry. Don't get bummed. Don't give up. Don't get angry with others when the fight is not going your way. Don't get bummed when you fail. Don't give up. Period.

These are wise words to live by in the culture wars. The Left has understood and implemented these principles for a long time. We on the right are just beginning to flex our might.
