Last Days of McCain: Supporters go full blast with gay-obsessed fear [video]
”Everyone uses fear in the last part of a campaign, but evangelicals are especially theologically prone to those sorts of arguments. There’s a long tradition of predicting doom and gloom.”
Clyde Wilcox, a Georgetown University political scientist, in response to Focus on the Family’s imagined “Letter from 2012” that tells of a near future where Barack Obama has won the presidency and given homosexuals freedom to indoctrinate young boys, and makes Bible worship and free speech into hate crimes.

”The most far-reaching transformation of American society came from the Supreme Court’s stunning affirmation, in early 2010, that homosexual “marriage” was a “constitutional” right that had to be respected by all 50 states because laws barring same-sex “marriage” violated the Equal Protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. Suddenly, homosexual “marriage” was the law of the land in all 50 states, and no state legislature, no state Supreme Court, no state Constitutional amendment, not even Congress, had any power to change it. The Supreme Court had ruled, and the discussion was over. This was a blatant example of creating law by the court, for homosexual “marriage” was mentioned nowhere in the Constitution, nor would any of the authors have imagined that same-sex “marriage” could be derived from their words. But it just followed the precedents that had been set by state supreme courts in Massachusetts (2003), California (2008) and Connecticut (2008).
President Obama repeated his declaration that he personally was against same-sex “marriage”, but he told the nation there was nothing he could do. The Supreme Court had ruled, and it was now the law of the land. The president asked the nation to support the decision….
- [The Boy Scouts] chose to disband rather than be forced to obey the Supreme Court decision that they would have to hire homosexual scoutmasters and allow them to sleep in tents with young boys.
- Elementary schools now include compulsory training in varieties of gender identity in Grade 1, including the goodness of homosexuality as one possible personal choice. Many parents tried to “opt out” their children from such sessions, but the courts have ruled they cannot do this, noting that education experts in the government have decided that such training is essential to children’s psychological health….
- [Adoption Agencies] Just as the Catholic Charities adoption agency had closed down for this reason in Massachusetts in 2006, so all similar agencies across the United States have now closed down rather than violate their consciences about the moral wrong of homosexual behavior.
Just a small portion of the awful, insane new “Letter from 2012” crafted by Focus on the Family to try and frighten voters into believing that, in the future, a Barack Obama presidency will have forced homosexuality on everyone in every aspect of society, especially on children, including paragraph after paragraph of “good Christians” getting fired or quitting in protests of conscience; Christian businesses, doctors, and lawyers losing their licenses; Hate crimes laws being used to declare Bibles and free speech illegal; and on and on.
