Changing
demography and waning Christian influence in politics: the future of America
Commentary by Julio
Severo
Folks, I present
a WND article addressing the concern of an American pro-family leader about a
possible re-election of Obama. Yet, what about if he does not win a second
term? Will his rival, Mitt Romney, reverse the homosexual agenda of Obama?
Massachusetts,
under Governor Mitt Romney, was the first US state to legalize the infamous
same-sex marriage.
Today and
yesterday, I have published two stories from Veja magazine (the Brazilian counterpart of Time magazine). Veja
reports that the US demography (and religion) is changing, and US politics will
change too. Veja said that this
change was a result planned by Democrats, notorious leftists.
Besides, Veja said that mainline Protestant churches
(Presbyterian and Lutheran) are losing their youth, who have embraced
socialism. This Protestantism is doing more harm than good to America.
At any rate, in
a very few years, America will not be what she once was: the most Protestant
nation on the earth.
Veja
said also that the evangelical influence in American politics is diminishing,
but it cited new versions of Pentecostals (probably Michele Bachman and Sarah
Palin) as the last conservative evangelical resistance to the massive liberal
onslaught on America.
Yet, Veja recognized that, because of
longstanding Democratic policies, demography will change whatever influence
evangelicals were left to retain until far, but eventually, in three or four
decades, evangelical influence in US politics will be gone.
Undoubtedly,
Democrats explored the longstanding American political, legal and social love
for contraception and abortion. The paycheck for these horrendous sins is
coming, with illegal and legal immigration redefining and determining US
demography, culture, religion, etc.
And right now,
in one of the last chances for US evangelicals to make some influence on
America, they have only Romney, a Mormon who passed same-sex marriage in
Massachusetts, to defeat Obama.
This definitey is
not a good sign.
If demography is
destiny, there is a very less Christian destiny in store for America, and Obama
and Romney are inaugurating it.
In the next
decades, US elections can bring disputes between liberals and ultra-liberals.

Unstoppable, if
Obama is re-elected, says leader of pro-family organization
By Michael F. Haverluck
One month after the World Congress of Families’ unsuccessfully tried to block
the U.S. Embassy’s unprecedented support of the Prague Pride homosexual
festival, a key member of the pro-family coalition admits that such “gay”
activism by the U.S. government will only grow if Barack Obama wins a second
term.
“If Obama is elected, there won’t be
any way to block it unless the House defunds the embassy,” Liberty
Counsel Chairman Mathew
Staver told WND in an interview Thursday. “But it is not just the embassy that
is involved; it is all the agencies in the Obama administration.”
One month ago, the U.S. Embassy took
part in the Prague “Gay Pride” event, despite a letter by the World Congress of
Families in protest. The capital of the Czech Republic is now dubbed “the most
liberal city of the former Eastern Bloc” and is working to promote “gay rights”
along with the Obama administration.
How did the U.S. Embassy end up
supporting and participating in the Prague Pride Parade this year?
“President Obama has pushed the
radical homosexual agenda down through all of his agencies,” said Staver, who
also serves as vice president, dean and professor of law at Liberty
University School of Law.
“He has appointed particular people who make sure that every agency promotes
the LGBT agenda. This action is a direct result of President Obama’s radical
anti-family, pro-homosexual agenda.”
This year’s Prague Pride Parade is
reported to have had attractions including: iBoys Party; Gay Speed
Dating; Where Do Ethics End and Rights Start?; Tango Banana; 4Boys Party; Leather
Zone and Children’s Day with Picnic.
Despite the event’s graphic nature,
popular media outlets such as the BBC poured out euphemisms to depict various
displays, such as “fancy dress” to denote garments yielding indecent exposure
and “colorful events” to portray sexually explicit displays.
Some 25,000 participants and
spectators are said to have indulged in the week of activities, which were
condemned by Czech President Vaclav Klaus and his top aide, Deputy Chancellor
Petr Hajek, who chided Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda for advocating “deviant”
behavior.
Opposition had come from more than
120 pro-family and pro-life leaders from 11 nations, including former Arkansas
Gov. Mike Huckabee, as well as Paige Patterson, who is a former majority leader
of the U.S. House of Representatives and former president of the Southern
Baptist Convention.
“There is nobody as ideologically
driven as President Obama,” Staver contends, referring to the
commander-in-chief’s homosexual promotions.
Staver believes GOP candidate Mitt
Romney will reverse much of what Obama has done.
But Staver emphasizes that ousting
the incumbent president in November is just the first step of many to mitigate
years of damaging LGBT-friendly policy.
“It will be important for the people
to actively participate under a Romney administration in order to halt the
Obama agenda,” he said. “Obama has infiltrated every area of the government,
and it will be a significant undertaking to undo much of what he has done. He
has totally revamped the agencies with his radical agenda.”
According to Staver, the major
surgery needed to extract the spreading homosexual agenda planted under the
Obama administration will have to be preceded by a thorough examination.
“It is going to take some effort to
make sure that the new administration is aware of these matters in order to
address them. The problem is that Obama hasn’t been focusing on jobs or other
matters of significance, but he has been driven by his ideological agenda.”
Obama’s perspective already is
reflected by the ambassadors and others from 11 nations who supported the U.S.
Embassy’s actions in Prague.
On the other side was the leader of
the Czech Republic-based conservative initiative known as DOST
(Trust-Objectivity-Freedom-Tradition), which targeted Israel’s ambassador.
“Legitimizing the homosexual way of
life is an effort to cover up the fact that same-sex cohabitation cannot
produce a family,” stated Michal Semin in an editorial published by the liberal
“Lidové noviny” newspaper after Israel’s embassy marched in the parade. “Public
officials who support the homosexual lifestyle and place it on the same level
as marriage are acting against the fundamental interests of the society they
are supposed to serve.”
But Semin’s criticism was not
reserved solely for the Israeli embassy, as he also condemned the U.S. and the
Netherlands for their destructive policies supporting same-sex marriage and the
homosexual lifestyle.
“They should be ashamed of
themselves,” said Semin, who sent protest notes to the three nations’ embassies
over the events.
The letter from the World Congress
of Families said Obama’s influence is corrupting Europe by forcing the
promotion of homosexuality on societies that previously embraced traditional Christian
values.
WCF Founder Allan C. Carlson, former
U.N. Ambassador to UNSECO Alan C. Keyes, Catholic League for Civil and
Religious Rights President Bill Donohue, King for America Founder Alveda C.
King and Staver are just some of the notable pro-family figures who signed the
letter.
Those on the left joining in the
support of Prague Pride were ambassadors from the U.S., Canada, Ireland,
Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Israel, Denmark
and the U.K.
WCF said: “The United Nations has
never affirmed homosexual marriage or rights.” In fact, the U.N. Universal
Declaration of Human Rights states that only, “men and women … have a right to
marry and found a family,” with “family” defined as “the natural and
fundamental group unit of society [which] is entitled to protection by society
and the state.”
Just a few months ago, more than
3,200 delegates from 72 nations unanimously adopted the Madrid Declaration of
World Congress of Families VI, which states, “We affirm the natural family to
be the union of a man and a woman through marriage for the purposes of sharing
love and joy, propagating children, providing their moral education, building a
vital home economy, offering security in times of trouble, and binding the
generations.”
Jim Hartline, a former homosexual
who took part in a San Diego Pride Parade some 15 years ago and is now a
staunch Christian pro-family advocate in the city’s homosexual district, sees
the events as anything but benign.
“At least [five] registered sex
offenders were hired to fill salaried and voluntary supervisory positions for
the festivities,” he said of the Pride events he attended in recent years.
Participants included transvestites,
women flashers, pornographers, male strippers and indecently exposed adults
acting out homosexual practices. Promotions were for sex toys, male escort
services and pornographers.
Candy was handed out to entice young
children, he said, including by a man riding a bicycle while wearing nothing
but a thong.
