Bull's-eye put on candidate for supporting marriage
WorldNetDaily ^ | August 30, 2013 | Michael Carl

Dean Young, a candidate for Congress in Alabama’s first district, says he’s being “inundated by the left” for his endorsement of traditional marriage and his request that fellow Republican primary candidates do the same.

The battle came to a head this week when the left-leaning Huffington Post headlined a story about him and his work titled “Alabama GOP candidate wants his opponents to promise they’re anti-gay, religious enough.”

The story says: “Alabama Republican Dean Young, a candidate for the congressional seat of retiring Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Ala., is not a fan of gay rights. So, in an effort to make opposition to gay marriage a key issue in the crowded GOP primary race, Young unveiled a pledge this week asking his opponents to affirm their religious faith and opposition to LGBT rights.”

But Young said he’s not “anti-gay” and that his purpose in calling for his fellow Republicans to pledge support is based on solid moral and historical principles.

God bless and keep Mr. Young and his family. I have spoken at TEA Party events in Alabama with him, and he is a rock-solid Christian. Please pray for him and his family.

Liberals are admitting gay “marriage” isn’t traditional.

good article WRXG...“Alabama GOP candidate wants his opponents to promise they’re anti-gay, religious enough.”....Yes that's what we want, demand and deserve....There's no right to some 'choice' you make [If you can choose or not choose that shows it's not a right]...and if you don't stand up ahead of time, [not when you announce for office] then we don't want you...

Do not say you’re anti-gay. Say you’re pro-children. It’s not that difficult to beat the facists in word games.

Yes, Virgil, the whole piece is excellent. Mr. Young is a powerhouse of Christian truth and wisdom. The fact that Hell’s minions are viciously attacking him speaks volumes.

Any Republican opposing gay marriage should just tell Democrats, “I’m taking the same position Barack Obama took when he first ran for president, and you voted for him, didn’t you?”

The Huffington trolls are trying to be influential where they have no influence.
