Falwell Jr Says: “End those Muslims” and Asks Liberty Students to Carry Guns on Campus

Last updated on: December 6, 2015 at 7:26 am By Frank Schaeffer

(photo Bloomberg) According to news reports in the Guardian newspaper and other sources, the president of Liberty University urged students, staff and faculty at the Christian school to carry concealed weapons on campus to counter any possible armed attack like the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California. That didn’t surprise me. His dad, Jerry Falwell Sr. once told me seriously that if he had a dog that did what “those homosexuals do, I’d shoot it.” “Let’s teach them a lesson if... Read more

You are looking at the Republican Party’s wet dream. Immigration, terror, Muslims, liberals who want to love in Islam… Democrats who can’t figure out that the Saudis really are our enemies… The GOP are thanking their God of perpetual war that just in the nick of time we got some actual Muslim terror here… HUSBAND CONTACTED AL QAEDA AFFILIATE This Man just made this man president… Frank Schaeffer is a writer.

Let’s Stop Playing Politically Correct Games: of Course BOTH San Bernardino and Colorado Springs Shootings Were Terrorism

Last updated on: December 4, 2015 at 11:04 am By Frank Schaeffer

Officials pointed to materials the suspects stockpiled, including explosives; their Middle East travels; and evidence of contacts with people with Islamist extremist views. Mr. Robert Dear was a man of religious conviction who handed out anti-Obama flyers and ranted about abortion. Left and right one side refusing to name Islamic terror for what it is, the other coddling “pro-lifers” lie when they try to say these attacks aren’t domestic terror. The couple planned and killed with thousands of rounds of ammunition... Read more

The Colorado Planned Parenthood Shooting– Blame the GOP Our Version of Saudi Wahhabi Islam

Last updated on: November 28, 2015 at 4:29 pm By Frank Schaeffer

The Republican Party going into 2016 is in hock to extremists. It is fittingly symmetrical that the Planned Parenthood clinic workers were gunned down in Dr. Jim Dobson’s town. “He was handing out anti-Obama fliers” said the alleged shooter’s neighbor on CNN on Saturday. “No more baby parts” NBC quoted a law source as saying that the alleged shooter said. Whatever the motivation of the Colorado Planned Parenthood shootings the incident makes me think about the fact that the Republican Party... Read more

Make The Caliphate Great Again! | Donald J Trump for President

Last updated on: November 27, 2015 at 12:54 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Salon.com photo used by permission To get Donald Trump elected ISIS will attack the USA before 2016. ISIS wants Trump to win so badly they can taste it. The attacks in Paris were designed to provoke retaliation against Muslims, and consequently more recruits for ISIS’s imaginary “caliphate.” To succeed this strategy needs reactionary opportunists to push the West to react rashly. ISIS is counting on irrational FEAR. They need someone to keep that fear front and center. Thus the ISIS agenda... Read more

Jihadism is not nihilism

Last updated on: November 23, 2015 at 1:43 pm By Frank Schaeffer

“You can say the Islam of ISIS is a perversion of the teachings of Muhammad, just as you can say the Inquisition and the Crusades were a perversion of the teachings of Jesus, or that the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin was a perversion of the teachings of the Torah.” So writes Marty Kaplan (the Norman Lear professor of entertainment, media and society at the USC Annenberg School for Communication) and to my mind one of the greatest public intelectuals of our...
