Mateen Is The NRA/Republican/Trumpian Poster Boy of Gun “Rights” (Proving the GOP/NRA “Won” Because if Mateen Could Get Assault Weapons… Anyone Can)

Last updated on: June 13, 2016 at 3:35 am By Frank Schaeffer

Take a good look at the face of the Orlando killer. He beat his wife, spewed anti-gay hate and was investigated by the FBI… Twice. And thanks to the NRA and their Republican backers in Congress he could STILL purchase weapons of war. Omar Mateen is the poster boy for the NRA and Republican Party. They have been successful in keeping weapons of terror and mass killing in the hands of terrorists. The Republicans who have kept the NRA flourishing... Read more

Ralph Reed Bends Over For Trump and Becomes the Poster Boy for Terminal Evangelical Moral Decline

Last updated on: June 11, 2016 at 9:00 am By Frank Schaeffer

And so it has come to this: Ralph Reed explaining why evangelicals like him are following Trump to moral (and political) oblivion. With friends like these Jesus (not to mention the GOP) needs no enemies. Trump spoke to Reed’s evangelicals saying: “We will restore faith to its proper mantle in our society … we will respect and defend Christian Americans.” Trump was speaking to members of the Faith & Freedom Coalition. He might have instead said: “We will restore racism, lies... Read more

Late Night with Seth Meyers Does in TRUMP and any idiot (Like Jerry Falwell Jr.) Who Supports Him

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 8:23 am By Frank Schaeffer

WATCH!!! (And if you are a Trump supporter bow your head in shame, that’s you I’m talking to Jerry Falwell Jr!). Donald Trump is a racist con man and so is anyone who backs him, that includes the craven Republican leadership and many evangelical leaders like Jerry Falwell Jr. All excuses are gone. He’s been VERY clear about what he is and what he represents. Donald Trump said he didn’t think a judge with Mexican heritage should preside over the... Read more

RAPE FROM “Inside me”– The Powerful Letter The Stanford U Victim Read Aloud To Her Attacker (and to anyone else who cares about the plight of women in this sexist society)

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 5:31 am By Frank Schaeffer

One night in January 2015, two Stanford University graduate students biking across campus spotted a freshman thrusting his body on top of an unconscious, half-naked woman behind a dumpster.

Wonders Never Cease… An Evangelical Magazine Prints a Hillary Clinton Endorsement!

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 3:50 am By Frank Schaeffer

As the total madness of the Trump “presidential” quest veers into outright racism, one evangelical stands up and pushes back, as does this evangelical magazine. Trump would dismiss leader at Anacostia River Church, Nick Rodriguez since his name sounds suspiciously Hispanic and his skin is brown. Bonhoeffer would applaud Rodriguez. (Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident.) The rest of us should say thank you to the Gospel Coalition for doing their bit to salvage the reputation of people calling themselves... Read more
