Glenn: Same-sex Marriage is a Threat to America and Our Kids
By Bryan Fischer Glenn Beck veered disastrously off-course on the Bill O’Reilly program two weeks ago when he said that same-sex marriage is not “a threat to the country.” Glenn, Glenn, wake up and smell the arsenic, my friend. It’s a threat to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association, and worst, represents a [...]

Surprise!–Powerful Democrats Defend My Position on Mosques
By Bryan Fischer I have argued that building permits can and should be denied for the building of mosques in American cities because each mosque is a potential or actual recruitment and training center for terrorism against the United States. Mosques cannot claim protection under the First Amendment for the simple reason that the agenda of [...]
A Picture IS Worth a Thousand Words — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern, A friend of mine found a political cartoon regarding the building of an Islamic mosque so near Ground Zero and posted it to his Facebook page along with his thoughts, “The debate is not about the law or the Constitution. I don't think it’s even really about tolerance. The real debate is about respect, sensitivity, and [...]

It’s not the “Cordoba House,” it’s the “Timothy McVeigh Mosque” at Ground Zero
By Bryan Fischer Secular fundamentalists are fond of quoting Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Ground Zero mosque headed by an imam with well-established ties to Islamic fundamentalism and Islamic terrorism. The quote our friends on the left love is this one: “It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are 20 gods or no god. [...]
Prop. 8 Ruling Could Criminalize Christianity
Liberty Alerts, CNSNews.com Religious leaders warn that if an Aug. 6 ruling by a federal judge on same-sex marriage is upheld, it could wind up putting a gag on Christians speaking out about homosexuality – a gag that a top Southern Baptist leader says his denomination will not accept. In a 136-page decision barring [...]
Lack of Intellectualism is Losing the Marriage Debate
By Selwyn Duke Judge Vaughn Walker's legal ruling striking down California's Proposition 8 certainly was no triumph of intellectualism. But while it's easy to thus dismiss it, what's usually forgotten is that reasoning such as his flies only in a certain cultural milieu -- a milieu that, in part, has been shaped by conservatives. Let's examine [...]
The System Says You’re Not Here — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern, We live in a world dependent on computers; heaven help us when they have a glitch. Sometimes the inconveniences are just that, minor setbacks which can be overcome in a matter of minutes; others take a little longer. Take for example a story on MYFOXNY dot COM about Ruth and Karl Hess, a couple married for 53 years. A [...]
No More Mosques Period
By Bryan Fischer Permits should not be granted to build even one more mosque in the United States of America, let alone the monstrosity planned for Ground Zero. This is for one simple reason: each Islamic mosque is dedicated to the overthrow of the American government. Each one is a potential jihadist recruitment and training center, and [...]
Video Games Are Not Free Speech
By Phyllis Schlafly Parents nationwide have tried again and again to get some help from governmental authorities to protect their kids from the violent video games on the market.

Homosexuals Already Have Full Marriage Equality
By Bryan Fischer Perhaps the most ridiculous thing about Judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling in the Prop. 8 case is that he claimed to give homosexuals something they in fact already have: full marriage equality. Homosexuals right now, as you are reading these words, have full marriage equality in America. There is no place in the United States [...]

There’s Nothing Gay About Being Gay
By Alan Caruba There are two topics I generally try to avoid discussing. Number one on the list is homosexuality. Number two is most things having to do with religion, although it is impossible to ignore it in a world where a militant Islam is causing so much conflict. I would avoid examining gay “marriage” if I could, but the gay and [...]
Judge Walker: President Barack Obama is a Homophobic Bigot
By Bryan Fischer As David Axelrod pointed out on the day following the release of Judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling on Prop. 8, President Obama still supports civil unions but opposes same-sex marriage. This makes him a homophobic bigot, according to the learned judge. Judge Walker specifically rejected the notion that civil unions, which [...]
Grounds for Impeachment: Robbing Seven Million Americans of Their Right to Vote
By Bryan Fischer Were Judge Vaughn Walker to be impeached, as I believe he should, what would be the grounds? Remember that according to the Constitution, federal judges hold office “during good Behaviour.” The question then is, what constitutes bad behavior, behavior that so violates a judge’s oath of office and his public duty that it [...]
Burqa Politics: Is a Ban Consistent With Liberalism?
By Wendy McElroy Politically speaking, July was a big month for the burqa, which has become a flash point of tension between the West and Islam. A burqa is a cloak-like garment that envelops a woman’s entire body, leaving only her hands and feet uncovered. A face veil (niqab) with a panel of mesh or thin material reveals the woman’s [...]
Left Set the Standard: Abherrant Sex Disqualifies You From Public Office
By Bryan Fischer I have suggested on more than one occasion that a practicing homosexual should not serve in public office. This is for the simple reason that character is important qualification for public office, and sexual conduct is an essential component of character. Homosexual behavior is aberrant sexual behavior. It is clearly [...]

God: Author of Law
By Steven Ray Montgomery Many members of the Church believe that God is subject to physical laws or that He perfectly understands and obeys the physical laws of the universe. In other words, that God is some sort of super-scientist who has managed to understand all of the laws of the universe. This is a common belief but it lacks [...]
If You Don’t Build It, They Won’t Come
By Bryan Fischer The last apparent procedural roadblock to building a monstrosity of a mosque at Ground Zero was cleared yesterday, as a New York city landmark preservation commission voted 9-0 to allow the project to proceed.
