Gay Magazine Praises Jeb Bush


Gay Magazine Praises Jeb Bush

By Julio Severo
Jeb Bush, the hope for American conservatives in the next U.S. presidential elections, is flirting with the gay agenda.
Jeb Bush
In an illuminating article entitled “Why the Gay Agenda Is Praising Jeb Bush,” Peter LaBarbera says, “It is becoming apparent that Jeb Bush is the favorite Republican Party presidential contender of the Washington Blade-D.C.’s ‘gay news source’ — due to his politically-correct evolution on homosexuality and same-sex ‘marriage.’ The Blade and other liberal media report favorably every time the former Florida governor moves away from the conservative, pro-family, Republican platform defending marriage as between man and woman.”
These do not have been good times for conservatives. Last year, LaBarbera was detained by the “conservative” government of Canada. More recently, conservative George W. Bush has described socialist Bill Clinton as a “brother from another mother.” Now, his biological brother has been praised by a homosexual magazine.
What is happening to political conservative figures these days? Homosexual publications are expected to praise socialist figures, not “conservative” ones. Yet, in 2013, Pope Francis was named “Person of the Year” by world’s biggest gay magazine. Is the conservative world turning pro-sodomy?
Why would a homosexual magazine praise Jeb Bush? According to LaBarbera, gay activists loved the “softer tone” of his reaction when they “overthrew of Florida’s pro-natural-marriage amendment, which had passed with 62 percent of the vote in 2008.” Here is Jeb’s speech:
 “We live in a democracy, and regardless of our disagreements, we have to respect the rule of law… I hope that we can show respect for the good people on all sides of the gay and lesbian marriage issue—including couples making lifetime commitments to each other who are seeking greater legal protections and those of us who believe marriage is a sacrament and want to safeguard religious liberty.”
LaBarbera says a few hundred thousand Republican voters cast ballots to preserve the common-sense definition marriage, and Bush says its striking down is a “rule of law.”
Rule of homosexual law? Traditionally, socialists — especially from the Democratic Party — have supported such a “rule.” Now are even Republican politicians chosen by conservatives flirting with the gay agenda?
LaBarbera finished by saying,
“It appears Jeb Bush is not up to the task, but he is not alone among a bevy of GOP governors, politicians and libertarian-minded pundits who have chosen pandering over principle on this critical issue that speaks to the character of a nation—a nation that claims to be ‘under God’ while defying His moral law and created natural order.”
These incompatibilities and inconsistencies scare away conservative Christians from Republican demagogues and betrayers.
Good conservatives have left the GOP, because the GOP has left them and conservative values.
Matt Barber, owner of the magnificent BarbWire, has left the GOP.
Conservative champion Scott Lively run for governor of Massachusetts as an independent candidate in the last election. By the way, the first U.S. state to legalize homosexual “marriage” was Massachusetts under Republican Governor Mitt Romney, elected by conservatives, fully betrayed by their political choice.
Fortunately, Romney the Betrayer lost the last presidential election.
How many betrayals will be enough for conservative Christians to wake from the deception by politicians who cheat them?
We need an army of Barbers and Livelys — men with solid and uncompromising conservative convictions.

Beware of False Conservatives! Neocons and Their Leftist Mistreatment of Christians


Beware of False Conservatives! Neocons and Their Leftist Mistreatment of Christians

By Julio Severo
I received a report yesterday from Peter LaBarbera, one of the major Christian voices against the gay agenda in America, that he was detained by customs agents when he entered Canada. They did an intense search of his phone, laptop and belongings.
No, no. LaBarbera is not an Islamic terrorist. According to the Gaystapo and the politically-correct mob, he is worse: he is “homophobic” — a vague term that can be loosely interpreted to refer to criminals or merely Christians quoting Bible verses condemning homosexual sins.
The Canadian agents confiscated from LaBarbera a DVD copy of a new Russian documentary called “Sodom” as potential “hate propaganda” in violation of Canadian law banning material or people who could potentially “incite hate” based on “sexual orientation.”
“Sodom,” which features an interview with American pro-family leader Scott Lively of Defend the Family International, just shows the traditional Christian stance that homosexuality is a sexual perversion.
LaBarbera was entering Canada to attend his own trial in a court because his peaceful protest April 12 against abortion and sodomy at a Canadian public university was considered “hate.”
Ironically, the Canadian government that has mistreated LaBarbera is the conservative government of Stephen Harper, in power for many years. Canadian Christians had voted for him to avoid mistreatment by the Left against Christians who oppose abortion and sodomy, and now they suffer a leftist treatment in the hands of a conservative government.
“Conservative” Canada is becoming a dangerous place for pro-life and pro-family Christians. You can freely protest sodomy and abortion in Russia, but not in Canada.

LaBarbera’s Friend

I spent my day yesterday with an American friend of LaBarbera. He was the director of a Christian pro-family organization in a U.S. state.
Seeing the relentless advance of the homosexual agenda and its advocates, he was determined to fight it with no compromise.
But some well-funded “conservative” voices in his state thought that a compromise was vitally important: “since pro-family organizations could not allow homosexual ‘marriage,’ at least they should let homosexual activists have civil unions.” My friend correctly understood that civil unions were a significant stepping stone for higher claims, including homosexual “marriage.” So he resisted these voices, coming especially from groups connected to neocons.
Then came the battle between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in the last U.S. presidential election. The same voices said, “Romney is the only conservative option to defeat Obama!” Conservative? My friend and other real conservatives knew that the first state to legalize homosexual “marriage” in the U.S. was Massachusetts, under Governor Mitt Romney, who became the first U.S. governor to pass a law turning sodomy into official marriage.

Satan and Beelzebub

Alan Keyes, a conservative Catholic, denounced, in an excellent WND article, that the choice between Obama and Romney was actually “A choice between Satan and Beelzebub.”
But neocons won. They said that it was non-sense not to support Romney. The priority, they said, was to defeat Obama.
My friend was removed from the headship of the pro-family organization because Christian conservatives were misled into choosing Beelzebub to defeat Satan… And while he mentioned to me the LaBarbera report on his detainment for “homophobia,” he told how powerful neocons are among conservatives in America.
Neocons have much more political power and money than most Christians who engage in pro-family battles just for defending their families. But neocons have “higher” interests, especially ultranationalistic interests at the expense of moral and Christian values.
What happens when Christian conservatives vote for the neocons’ conservatives? Just look at the “conservative” government of Canada and its leftist mistreatment of Peter LaBarbera.

“Conservatives” in the United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, Christians also vote for conservatives to protect themselves from this leftist mistreatment. But what have they got?
The British government under David Cameron, of the Conservative Party, has passed a law transforming sodomy into official marriage.
First, the political “conservative” talk was: “let’s fight against homosexual ‘marriage,’ but at least let homosexual activists get civil unions.” Next: “Now, let them get homosexual ‘marriage’!” This is not conservative. This is neocon, or false conservative.
Now, according to WND, British homosexuals are suing to force churches to marry them! Everything began with a “conservative” government compromising, compromising and compromising.
The next talk will be: “homosexual ‘marriage’ is not important. Conservatives should focus on more important subjects.” Important for neocons, of course.
Both Canada and the United Kingdom are major references for our understanding that to vote for conservatives (or false conservatives) is not a solution. It may become another serious problem.

Neocons and Christian Persecution

The British “conservative” government follows neocon interests, not conservative interests. According to Murad Makhmudov and Lee Jay Walker, Christian persecution follows neocon ambitions, which have inflamed torture and murder of Christians in Kosovo, Libya, Iraq, Syria and other nations. They point that the U.S. and the United Kingdom are the main tools for facilitating the neocons’ Christian persecution.
So neocons are capable of misleading conservative Christians into choosing their “conservative” candidates. Next, they are equally capable of imposing leftist mistreatment of Christians in their countries while at the same time stimulating torture and murder of Christians abroad.
Even so, neocons have been hijacking conservative feelings everywhere, misleading their victims that their candidates are better than their enemies.
In the recent Brazilian presidential election, U.S. neocons were actively engaged, as I told in my article “Obama Strategist in the Brazilian Presidential Campaign.” Their candidate was pro-gay agenda, but Brazilian conservatives were misled to think: “The homosexual agenda should not be important now.” The important thing was to defeat neocons’ enemies.
In this case, as many Brazilians told me, if Obama was with neocons, he is a hero!
I do not understand why neocons are called new conservatives, because they are willing to support any cause, conservative or leftist, that advances the U.S. supremacy.
Alan Keyes is right. Leftist candidates do not deserve our support. And definitely neocons’ candidates do not deserve it too.

Jesus and the Wicked Rulers

For a real conservative Christian, there is another point. When only the wicked rule, Christians should focus their attention only on spiritual priorities: the preaching of the Gospel and the salvation of sinners.
When the Roman Empire dominated Israel, Jesus never instigated his disciples about political issues. Of course, if there is a candidate who is not anti-family, we are free to support him. But political ambitions were never Jesus’ priority or concern. He was never obsessed about supporting a wicked ruler against another wicked ruler. In fact, he never instigated his disciples in these obsessions.
When political strategists manipulate conservatives, I think in LaBarbera being detained by a conservative government for his Christian stance against abortion and homosexuality. I think in my American friend being removed from the headship of a pro-family organization because well-funded neocons think that the supremacy of the U.S. politics should take a precedence over pro-family issues too. I think in British churches being sued to marry homosexuals. And I think in Christians in Syria and Iraq being beheaded because of the U.S. and U.K. neocon funding to the Islamic cutthroats.
By this point, we should have learnt something from Jesus’ example and the neocons’ deception.

Changing demography and waning Christian influence in politics: the future of America


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.
Read now the WND article (the WCF paper protesting the US embassy support for the Prague gay parade contains my signature and it is available here: http://profam.org/docs/Prague_Letter.pdf):

The future of America's global homo promo

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.
