Movement to Normalize Abnormality Targets Judge Roy Moore

It might have been funny when Tom Hanks did it on TV. That was then. But nowadays a cross-dressing homosexual is not funny. Take the case of "drag queen Ambrosia Starling", who is focusing his/her sights onto Judge Roy Moore.

Alabama drag queen is suspended chief justice's nightmare

"Wearing big hair, loads of makeup and high heels, small-town drag queen Ambrosia Starling is the new worst nightmare of suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore.

Moore has called out Starling twice by name in recent days while defending himself against allegations of violating judicial canons with his opposition to same-sex marriage. During a news conference and in a written statement, Moore cited the cross-dressing entertainer as a reason he's at risk of losing his job for the second time since 2003.

That's fine with Starling, who helped lead an anti-Moore rally on the steps of the Alabama Supreme Court building in January. Opponents that day filled out more than 40 complaints against Moore, who already was the subject of other complaints and now faces removal from office if convicted of violating judicial ethics.

"If it takes a drag queen to remind you that liberty and justice is for all, here I am," Starling said Tuesday between sips of coffee.

Moore contends the effort to oust him is unfounded and politically motivated.

Born and raised in the southeast Alabama city of Dothan, Starling is a gay man who dresses up like a woman to perform drag shows. Most days, the 43-year-old Starling dresses like a male and goes to a regular job, referring to himself as "he."

But the entertainer prefers the pronoun "she" when dressed as Ambrosia Starling, a stage name for drag shows. Fearful of losing his day job or endangering others in a Deep South state where many gays still fear violence or discrimination, Starling agreed to an interview on the condition that only the stage name was used.

"I have a 71-year-old mother who lives with me that I have to worry about," Starling said. "Her well-being and safety is No. 1 for me."

Starling wore her drag outfit to that demonstration against Moore outside the Supreme Court five months ago. In a long blue dress and light-colored coat, Starling referred to Moore as a bigot and asked crowd members to submit complaints against Moore to the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission, which accused the Republican Moore of wrongdoing on Friday, resulting in his suspension.

The complaint filed by the Judicial Inquiry Commission accuses Moore of willfully failing to respect the authority of federal court decisions that cleared the way for gay marriage, which Moore opposes on the basis of faith and the law. He issued an administrative order to state probate judges in January that said state laws against gay marriage remained in place months after the U.S. Supreme Court effectively legalized gay marriage nationwide."

This, like all of the Leftist assaults on western civilization, asks the question: "what sort of emotional abnormality does NOT supercede a state's right not to recognize it as having unlimited rights of behaviors and access?" There currently is no limit on the rights of abnormalities, except the hated religious rights of those hated religious people, who are now the minority abnormals (yet still the Oppressor Class) in the eyes of the messiahs of the Left. Those fundamental constitutional rights are eagerly abrogated at every turn of the Left's imagination. The First and Tenth Amendments mean nothing to those pimping the ascent of the perverse.

Why I Hate The ACLU

Perhaps the ACLU does some good somewhere. Perhaps. But it overcomes that with the Atheist evil it does.

New Jersey School Skips Legal Battle, Will No Longer Recite “God Bless America

HADDON HEIGHTS, N.J. (CBS) — Students at a Haddon Heights Elementary School are getting a real-life lesson in Constitutional law.

Staffers at Glenview Elementary School say it became a daily ritual for students to say “God bless America” after the morning recital of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Principal Sam Sassano says it was not something the school promoted or required; it just endured as a way to honor first responders after 9/11.

“It never, to us, invoked any type of religious intentions. It was basically a patriotic gesture that the boys and girls were doing,” Sassano told KYW Newsradio.

But Sassano says the ACLU sent the school board attorney a letter challenging the recital of “God Bless America” as unconstitutional.

Rather than engage in an expensive legal battle, Sassano sent an email to parents over the weekend saying the school will look for alternate ways to honor those in the September 11th tragedy.

The ACLU bullies the weakest, and ignores the Washington DC government buildings which are covered with religious verses and mottoes. They know that the ACLU would lose if they tried to bully the actual US Government the way they do the local school districts. They are bullies, pure and simple: Atheist bullies.

Any actual literate and discriminating person who reads the First Amendment knows that the US Constitution protects religion from Atheist Asses, and does not require anything beyond prohibiting congress from passing legislation regarding religion. The ACLU is promoting an Atheist lie.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

This amendment is purely about what the US Congress may not do. Nothing else. NOTHING.

And "stare decisis" [note 1] be damned: The US Supreme Court has historically been evil itself as it promoted slavery and other racist programs which had to be overturned by subsequent courts which were not Democrat controlled. There needs to be a non-Atheist Supreme Court, which is presented with a decision on ACLU and FFRF bullying of small fry organizations which can't fight back.

Note 1:
Definition of stare decisis:
A doctrine or policy of following rules or principles laid down in previous judicial decisions unless they contravene the ordinary principles of justice. Stare Decisis has been dismissed in many supreme court cases which were ultimately overthrown by more sane supreme courts.

Nuns Forced To Pay For Contraception

NUNS FORCED TO PAY FOR OBAMACARE CONTRACEPTION:

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled today that the Little Sisters of the Poor must abide by Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate. You may recall that the Little Sisters took their religious liberty objection to the mandate all the way to the Supreme Court last summer–and won an injunction therefrom, pending disposition on the merits by the Tenth Circuit. But when considering the merits, the Tenth Circuit nonetheless ruled against them.

The First Amendment is nearly dead; Federal Courts are now freed from the US Constitution, as they make law themselves rather than compare law to constitutional restrictions on government powers to make such law, as they are directed to do.

Now that we understand that there are no constitutional restrictions, we also are free to behave as if there are no constitutional restrictions. Why should scofflaw apply only to the Left?

Finally Recognizing That It Is, In Fact, War

In case you haven't paid attention for the past quarter century:

Welcome To Culture War 4.0: The Coming Overreach

"For those Americans who hoped the culture wars would finally end, the month of June reminded us they’re just getting started.

Within hours of the Supreme Court’s resolution of the battle over same-sex marriage—the triumph of a generation of gay-rights activists—some were already calling for further steps to take tax exemptions away from churches, use anti-discrimination laws to target religious non-profits, and crack down on religious schools’ access to voucher programs. We learned media entities would no longer publish the views of those opposed to gay marriage or treat it as an issue with two sides, and the American Civil Liberties Union announced it would no longer support bipartisan religious-freedom measures it once backed wholeheartedly. A reality TV star pushed the transgender rights movement into the center of the national dialogue even as Barack Obama’s administration used its interpretation of Title IX to push its genderless bathroom policies into public schools. And we learned that pulling Confederate merchandise off the shelves isn’t enough to mitigate the racism of the past—we must bring down statues and street signs, too, destroying reminders of history now deemed inconvenient and unsafe.

On college campuses and in the workplace, across mass media and social media, for American celebrities and private citizens, every comment, act, or joke can make you the next target for a ritual of daily attack by outraged Twitter mobs. It is now an unavoidable fact of life that giving money to the wrong cause, making a “clumsy attempt at humor,” or taking the wrong side on a celebrity, religious debate, or magazine cover can lead to threats of violent death, end your career in an instant, or make you the most hated person in America for 15 minutes—longer if you bungle the apology.

Whether you care about the culture war or not, it cares about you."

And there is this:

"But the test of liberty isn’t what happens to people who agree with the intent of a particular edict. The test is what happens to people who disagree.

That brings us to the reason why gay rights advocates insisted on the government granting same-sex unions the title of “marriage.” The theory behind this was that homosexuals suffer from a lack of social acceptance, and gay marriage would put the government’s imprimatur on their status as social equals—along with the promise that this equality is to be backed by government force.

The theory behind gay marriage, in short, was the theory behind the entire secular left: society and the state are the all-powerful forces on which the life of the individual depends, and the most important political task—indeed, the most important task in life—is getting this irresistible power on your side. Once you gain social and political power, you hold on to it by making your preferred views mandatory, a catechism everyone must affirm, while suppressing all heretical views. In this case, to gain social acceptance of homosexuality, you make the affirmation of gay marriages mandatory while officially suppressing any dissenting religious views.

Hence, the Secular Inquisition, which we should have expected all along."

This Is Why We Left Oregon Nearly Two Decades Ago

Oregon's Leftism is insane and vicious:

Happy Independence Day: State of Oregon fines Christian bakers $135,000 over a wedding cake

The clear intent is to destroy this bakery completely as a warning against invoking religion in your business. The government's attack is specifically on free exercise of religion, and only superficially on the protection of homosexual rights to abuse religious beliefs of others.

New Rules For Engagement: The Death of Civility and Tolerance in AtheoLeftist USA

The lawless Left will likely be shocked when their lawlessness persecution of the Other results in a counterbalancing lawlessness in defense of law and morality by those who are being "othered".

Liberals May Regret Their New Rules
Kurt Schlichter

"And then liberals would be well advised to ask themselves who will be willing to fight and die to preserve their power and policies. In contrast, there are an awful lot of people willing to fight and die for their religion and our Constitution.

And let’s be blunt – these are the people with most of the guns and the training to use them. That’s the reality of the rule of force. I’ve seen it – it’s there behind me in that photo.

Now, this will no doubt draw the lie that I am somehow advocating violence. The current liberal habit of shamelessly lying about their opponents makes civil debate impossible. Similarly, the mockery of non-liberals before stacked audiences of trained seals a la Jon Stewart is part and parcel of the same strategy of delegitimizing any opposition. Closing down the option of discussion leaves their opponents with only the option of action. So far, the action has only been in funding campaigns for oppressed pizzerias and in the voting booth – though they’ve trying to nullify that too.

I’m not advocating violence – I am warning liberals that they are setting the conditions for violence."

I am less sanguine about the avoidance of violence. It is rational to meet violence in kind, even more rational to meet violence with a stronger in kind that which is dealt; that is an accepted principle of self-defense. In terms of cancer and its ideological equivalent, Class War, radical excision of the metastasized and surrounding potentially infected is absolutely necessary. It is rational to reject and eject the irrational. But it is difficult to stop there as the French Revolution and its descent into terror proved.

The key to a rational excision of lawlessness without producing the contrary mindless but balancing lawlessness is to either negotiate a rational accommodation, or to exercise contrary power, albeit temporarily lawless, earlier than the French did in the cycle of oppression.

I frankly can't see that happening, either way. The current AtheoLeft negotiates with America's enemies, not with Americans. And it has created a domestic army which it has armed to the teeth against American citizens while opening the borders to illegal entry by foreigners of all stripes. Any internal insurrection would need to be terrorist in nature, with secret attacks - and that goes against the grain of the princples still retained by traditional Americans - so far.

So the most likely eventuality will be the full-out revolution after the AtheoLeftist persecution of the morally principled becomes far too onerous to bear any longer. That means there will be considerable damage and flow of blood.

"Liberals need to understand the reality that rarely penetrates their bubble. Non-liberal Americans (it’s more than just conservatives who are under the liberal establishment’s heel) are the majority of this country. They hold power in many states and regions in unprecedented majorities. And these attacks focus on what they hold dearest – their religion, their families and their freedom.

What is the end game, liberals? Do you expect these people you despise to just take it? Do you think they’ll just shrug their shoulders and say, “Well, I guess we better comply?” Do you even know any real Americans? Do you think you’ll somehow be able to force them into obedience – for what is government power but force – after someone finally says “Enough?”"

Totalitarians have just the one end game: force by whatever means. They are now emboldened to use it all against their own countrymen... because they are the religion of correctness and new morality which is just this: dogmatic totalitarian paganism.

"Liberals think this free society just sort of happened, that they can poke and tear at its fabric and things will just go on as before. But they won’t. So at the end of the day, if you want a society governed by the rule of force, you better pray that you’re on the side with the guns and those who know how to use them."

I practice with mine.

Will The AtheoLeft Riot Over Their Own Pets' Distaste For Homosexual Marriage??

The Leftist Atheist love and respect for the Religion of Peace is well documented. I doubt that any of their pet religious bakers will feel any AtheoLeftist heat over rejecting homosexual wedding cake requests. Their hypocrisy is without match. It is Christians that their vast reservoirs of hate are directed; well, plus Israel/Israeli Jews (but not J Street Jews who also hate Israel/Israeli Jews).



There is no Atheist-Leftist outrage over Islamic slaughter of Christians... and homosexuals. The carefully negotiated gift of nukes for Iran shows the genuflection of the Left before the Religion of Peace while ignoring the "Death To America" chants coming from the Religion of Peace's leaders. That's not what the Left cares about. "Death to America" actually has a sweet ring to their Class Warrior ears. White, European-origin, Christian-ethic, producers of western culture and prosperity are the sworn enemy of the Left. If that involves self-hate and love of tyrants with similar western hatred, then under Consequentialist tactical practicality, that's what one does. These are the enemies of rationality, civility, and actual tolerance for the Other... because the Other must be conquered, not tolerated. On that point, the AtheoLeft and Islamic hegemons are congruent.

Boycott Apple

I am a defacto boycotter of Apple Corporation. I don't like dictators of any stripe. Now I am a cultural and moral boycotter of Apple Corporation, because Apple's Gay CEO hates religious freedom, which is the foundation of the nation that feeds and nourishes him. The Apple hypocrisy is documented: Apple has stores in countries that BEHEAD GAYS, yet condemns religious freedom laws in the USA. There could be nothing more evil, in my opinion.

The overblown hypocrisy of Tim Cook's business boycott of Indiana

"Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) vowed on Tuesday to "clarify and fix" the state's new Religious Freedom and Restoration Act, after major corporations threatened to boycott the state. These businesses — and many caterwauling progressives — claim that the law gives religiously inclined business owners a "license to discriminate," especially against gay customers.

But here's the thing: It would be deeply ironic if these national and multinational companies were able to wield their right to do business with whomever they pleased (in this case, by boycotting Indiana) in a way that took away the same right of Indiana businesses.

So what's to be done? Well, instead of tinkering with a perfectly legitimate law, Pence should simply strengthen gay rights."

Gays have the right to seek out gay wedding services. It's odd that they never try to abuse Muslim wedding services - well, not odd at all; they are bullies and bullies are cowards.

Gays now delight in bullying Christian small business owners with the full force of federal hate crime laws, laws designed specifically to discriminate against thought crimes and moral positions. The Gay/Federal complex uses "anti-discrimination" as a pseudo-moral sledge as it discriminates against Christians who have Christian businesses designed for Christian customers. Failure to bow to the Gay/Federal complex and its faux moral outrage because gays are not given Christian services at their pagan rituals results in the destruction of the Christian business and its owners. The "Gaystapo" is in full bloom under federal protection and federal persecution of religion.

When a homosexual CEO of a major corporation starts using his power in discriminating against Christians even while supporting overt Islamic abuse, it is time to boycott that corporation. It's not like there are not other good product sources. Apple itself is more than a corporation, it is a subculture, one without any actual moral principles... except those which are self-satisfying.

ADDENDUM:
From Kevin D. Williamson:

"The people who have hijacked the name “liberal” — the étatists — always win when social questions are decided by the state rather than in private life, because the expansion of the state, and the consequent diminution of private life, is their principal objective. The self-styled progressive sets himself in rhetorical opposition to Big Business, but the corporate manager often suffers from the same fatal conceit as the economic étatist — an unthinking, inhumane preference for uniformity, consistency, regimentation, and conformity. It is no surprise to see Apple and Walmart joining forces here against the private mind. There is a reason that the atmosphere and protocols of the corporate human-resources office are a great deal like those of the junior-high vice-principal’s office: All reeducation facilities have a little something in common.

The ancient rival to étatism in the Western world is the church militant, both in its formal institutional expression and in the relatively newfangled (and thoroughly American) choose-your-own-adventure approach to Christianity. For the culture warrior, bringing these nonconformists to heel is a strategic priority. Gay couples contemplating nuptials are not just happening into cake shops and florists with Christian proprietors — this is an organized campaign to bring the private mind under political discipline, to render certain moral dispositions untenable. Like Antiochus and the Jews, the game here is to “oblige them to partake of the sacrifices” and “adopt the customs” of the rulers. We are not so far removed in time as we imagine: Among the acts intended to Hellenize the Jews was a ban on circumcision, a proposal that is still very much alive in our own time, with authorities in several European countries currently pressing for that prohibition.

“I expect to die in bed,” Francis Eugene Cardinal George famously remarked. “My successor will die in prison, and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history.” Perhaps it will not come to that. But we already are on the precipice of sending men with guns to the homes and businesses of bakers to enforce compliance with dictates undreamt-of the day before yesterday."

Leftists and the Catholic Apocalypse

Catholics are staying out of their own parades due to their seizure by LGBTQONFLIUFBKS. Tolerance of all things anti-Christian has brought the Left to a "Catholic Apocalypse":

Unfortunately, that's [parade disruption] just a snapshot of the upheaval between the Left and American Catholics -- which, after six years of being shoved aside by the President and other Democrat leaders, are finally saying, "enough." The liberal assault on faith has consequences -- and the hemorrhaging of Catholic votes is one of them. In a titanic shift, Catholics are redrawing the political lines in a way that could rewrite the landscape of 2016 and beyond. Evangelicals aren't the only ones sick of seeing the President use the Bible as a bat to beat them over the heads with.

Catholics are bolting from the Democratic Party so rapidly that Pew Research Center now says 53% of white Catholics now favor the GOP (compared to the Democrats' 39%), the "largest point spread in the history of the Pew poll." And the evidence is sitting in Congress. When President Obama was swept into office, there were 98 Catholic Democrats in the House and 37 Catholic Republicans. Barely six years later, there are two times as many Catholic Republicans in the House (69) and 68 Democrats.

And experts didn't have to do much digging to see why. The number of Catholics who said Obama was "unfriendly to religion" has more than doubled in the President's two terms -- from 17% to 36%. While the White House is busy building his legacy on the debris of the First Amendment, more churchgoers are turning their backs on his open aggression to the Christian faith. Things turned sour in the ObamaCare debate, when the President demanded that Christians bow at the altar of taxpayer-funded abortion.

Going where no government had gone before, the administration ordered religious business owners, schools, charities, and nonprofits to surrender their beliefs and pay for coverage that violated their moral beliefs -- or pay crippling fines. The courts are still trying to clean up that mess, as dozens of organizations continue to sue for rights they've enjoyed since America's founding -- the freedom to believe and live according to those beliefs. Of course, it didn't help that the White House's hostility extended to a group of Catholic nuns: Little Sisters of the Poor. As far as HHS was concerned, even they should have to pay for contraception and abortion-causing drugs!

The onslaught hit Catholic Charities next, when the administration stripped the group of millions of dollars in grants for human trafficking victims because the program was too pro-life. In Massachusetts and Illinois, other branches of Catholic Charities had to close their doors on their adoption programs when Democrats ordered them to place kids with same-sex couples. Then, we watched as the President flung open the doors to same-sex "marriage," rewriting federal laws and refusing to enforce others.

No wonder the Democratic Party is facing a "Catholic apocalypse!" Everything the Left does seems to put them at odds with core values of Christianity. Stephen Schneck, a political analyst at Catholic University, pointed out that "more and more of (Catholics) who remain are those who actively choose to embrace the church and its teachings."

There is no perversion which will not, ultimately, be embraced by the Left as being part of the natural, total Kinseyan spectrum of normal human behaviors, which, being human behaviors and thus "natural", cannot be rejected by bigots as "evil".

Washington State Government Demands Jizya From Christian

Washington State AG Demands Payment From Christian

"Flower Power: Christian florist rejects attorney general’s offer, won’t betray her religious beliefs

Barronelle Stutzman, a Washington State florist who declined to provide flowers for a gay wedding , has rejected a deal by the attorney general’s office that would’ve forced her to betray her religious beliefs – much like Judas betrayed Jesus.

“You are asking me to walk in the way of a well-known betrayer, one who sold something of infinite worth for 30 pieces of silver,” Stutzman wrote in a letter to state Attorney General Bob Ferguson. “That is something I will not do.”

Stutzman said she never imagined the day when what she loved to do would become illegal.

Ferguson had offered to settle the case if she paid a $2,000 penalty for violating the Consumer Protection Act, a $1 payment for costs and fees, and agreed not to discriminate in the future.

“My primary goal has always been to bring about an end to the defendant’s unlawful conduct and to make clear that I will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation,” Ferguson said in a prepared statement.

On Feb. 18 a judge ruled Stutzman had violated the law by refusing to provide flowers for the same-sex wedding of a longtime customer. The state had not only gone after the flower shop but also Stutzman personally.

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the religious liberty law firm representing Stutzman, said legal bills could be as high as seven figures.

“He’s using the full power of his office to personally and professionally destroy her,” ADF attorney Kristen Waggoner told me."

Note the arrogance of the "I will not tolerate" boast. I support the ADF.
