This will have an impact on Church-related schools and charities in the USA which receive Fed grants on any level, including student housing, etc.

Many international religious charities which receive Fed. grants for specific programs, esp. malaria control, epidemic control, disaster relief, etc. hire outreach workers in the recipient country, e.g. in African.

This means the Obama admin. will be trying, not just to coerce the church charities themselves, but to use the church charities as social change agents in promoting gay/transsexual hiring in countries which discourage gay sex practices and homosexual activism by law. Including countries struggling with AIDS epidemics.

Most church charities will, I think, reject the LGBT agenda, which means they will have to cut back or eliminate programs helping very poor people.

This could eventually have positive results, in that church charities will have to stop their long-established cooperation with U.S. govt. aid programs (which they really need to do anyway.)

This is probably mainly newsworthy because it is exactly what Obama promised he would not do: barring disaster relief and anti-disease programs if the agencies won't go gay.

So he's lying.

Let's make sure our churches/charities become more acutely aware of that,and break their ties accordingly.

Did Black America misunderstand the young president when he said he would do more to advance his people (gay and Islamist)?

This is why they never should have accepted any government money in the first place. Some of us have been strong opponents of government-sponsored school voucher programs for religious schools -- for this very reason.

I would suggest that any religious organization that relies on Federal money for survival isn't truly a religious organization in the first place.

All the good reason for any church or charities to stop any relations with the Federal Government.

obama and his cracked State Department are already pressuring countries overseas to accept the “gay” agenda—including “gay” parades in Orthodox Christian nations!!!!

Africa and Latin America are also included!!!!

“This is probably mainly newsworthy because it is exactly what Obama promised he would not do: barring disaster relief and anti-disease programs if the agencies won’t go gay.

“So he’s lying.”

Well.... Obama.
So of course.

I’m just wondering when the day is coming that Barky officially announces that he is the first queer President.

If I claim to be LGBT does that put me ahead of the line for employment?

How do they know? Will they demand proof? What proof?

Maybe I can be the token LGBT, open a business supplying “LGBTS”.

Obama hates the 3 Cs:

(true, biblical) Christianity
(the original intent of the) Constitution
(free market—not crony) Capitalism

They next president’s first official act should be to revoke every single executive order signed by Obama.

when the right takes the white house, the president should decree all organizations accepting federal money must not support any LGBT policies or organizations.

if they don’t like it... then they shouldn’t have pushed the opposite when they held power.

This makes sense when you think about it. Obama is doing God’s work, bringing us closer to the Tribulation, the revealing of the AntiChrist, the world being burned, etc. Obama doesn’t care about the Bible, he cares about lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. And through this he is doing God’s work, and the return of Jesus Christ.

Yes I am a Christian, and yes I know Jesus is coming back. Soon. At the rate things are going with Obama it’s sooner than you think

Well, Obama and his minions like Bunning have already established the baseline: kiss up to the homosexuals, bow down before Baal and Moloch, or they will put us in jail.

It may be a good thing for Christians to step up and sacrifice to carry out ministry... Instead of taken by money the government extorts at the point of a sword.

Part of shedding Leviathan’s tentacles and going Galt requires shunning any activity that involves federal funding.
They take our money and will give a little of it back, but only if we do as they say.

To: Mrs. Don-o; All
Thank you for referencing that article Mrs. Don-o. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"The source reported to the Friday Fax that any organization receiving the grant could not discriminate based on ‘sexual orientation and gender identity” in the hiring of an employee that worked on the program funded by the grant or in seeking subcontractors."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

The problem with the grants in the referenced article actually doesn’t concern LGBT issues imo. The real problem is that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend for grants in the context referenced by the article, corrections welcome.

As mentioned in related threads, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Note that it can be argued that funding for these grants were actually personal and organazational funds that the corrupt federal government stole from the people in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes.

So Obama’s policy to use the loss of “federal” funds to force the LGBT agenda down everybody’s throat is essentially another example of the corrupt, post-17th Amendment Senate not doing its job to protect the states as the Founding States had intented for it to do. More specifically, the Senate should have killed the unconstitutional House appropriations bills that raised the taxes to help provide such funding.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt Senators, unconstitutional federal taxes used for vote-winning grants, and lawless presidents along with it.

“sexual orientation and gender identity” is a psychological condition subject to change

Some people who were against the faith based initiative beginning the last administration tried to say this would happen down the road. It gave government a huge foot in the door. What uncle pays money too uncle either runs or regulates in these times. Today the hiring. Tomorrow the pulpits and Alters. LBJ’s War On Church continues.
