LDS Church Investigated by State for Defending True Marriage
Catholic Online ^ | 11/26/08 | Deacon Keith Fournier

Posted on 11/25/2008 3:50:38 PM PST by tcg

The State of California is investigating the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints because they helped to defend true marriage as between one man and one woman.

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) was created by the Political Reform Act of 1974, itself a ballot initiative passed by California voters as Proposition 9. It is now being used as a tool to persecute those who defend marriage, wielded by a savvy ex political consultant who does not like the position taken by the Church or the results of the latest Proposition 8 initiative...“Californians Against Hate was established in July 2008 to draw attention to the major donors to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign. These contributors spent $36 million to amend the California Constitution to take away the right of same-sex couples to marry.”

In addition to serving as a propaganda arm of the effort to force Californians to grant legal equivalency in the law between homosexual paramours and married people, the group has created what amounts to a “black list”, a kind of enemies list.

The implications of this complaint should be a cause for serious concern to all those who are dedicated to the defense of true marriage.

The FPPC is being used as the enforcement arm of the gay mafia. I hope that Utah authorities step in and tell California where to go.

Good will be called evil. What organization supports moral causes more than LDS. We live in a bizarro world.

I thought Catholic’s were one of the most attacked “minorities” with endless hate speech and bigotry directed their way.

Looks like the Mormons win that prize. Just sickening. I bet the Mormons in CA probably pay probably 30% of the taxes in CA and they are not a huge group. Hard working, law abiding, god fearing - targets for the vermin to attack. It makes me sick.

The filithly animals in the MSM were all over Mitt for being a Mormon. What bigotry.

If Californicate undocked and floatd out to sea, I wouldn’t miss it. It’s a pity Illinois can’t go with it.

I know what you mean but all you really need to take is the westerly 20-mile strip up and down the state and you would accomplish about ninety percent eradication of radical liberals. The rest of the state is fairly normal

The RICO statutes should be applied to “Californians Against Hate”. What an ironic name!

Maybe you are unaware of many things. Who would have thunk that people who are not Christians could stick up for Christian values more than you or your church?

Luke, Chapter 6:
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

------

John, Chapter 15:

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

------

Matthew, Chapter 5:

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

“When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.”

(Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan 1651)

“Californians Against Hate was established in July 2008 to draw attention to the major donors to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign. These contributors spent $36 million to amend the California Constitution to take away the right of same-sex couples to marry.”

Notice the insanity in the language, with it’s claim that Prop 8, was designed to “amend the California Constitution”; as opposed to the bare fact that the ruling by the state Supreme Court is what amounted to an “amendment”, a radical amendment, to the Constitution.

The insanity is derived from the success of the radical legal agenda in upholding the will of judges to radically revise our Constitutions, by judicial fiat, and without the stated will of the people. The insanity is the widespread belief in the legitimacy of that notion.

The state is not investigating the anti-8 side for illegal donations. That says it all.

It's really about totalitarianism. The "gay" agenda is an arm of the leftist agenda as a whole. They want to dominate, control and destroy the freedoms upon which our country is founded. Freedom of speech, freedom of association and freedom of religion are all imperiled. As well as freedom to be responsible for our children's education, freedom to not live in a cesspool - I bet you can think of more.
