“Massachusetts Doesn’t Get Mad, It Gets GLAD
The newest battleground over religious liberty may be the school cafeteria! In Massachusetts, an all-girls school is having the ultimate food fight with a job applicant over his lifestyle choices. Matthew Barrett was a cinch for the job at the Catholic Fontbonne Academy—until administrators noticed his emergency contact form. On it, Barrett had identified his homosexual ‘spouse’ as the person to call.
Two days later, the Academy’s leadership called him into the office and rescinded the job offer. The headmaster was polite but resolved. ‘Fontbonne Academy does not discriminate against anyone based on their sexual orientation,’ said Assistant Head of School Gregg Chambers. But it is ‘guided by the religious doctrines and beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church [which] has a very specific belief that marriage between two persons of the same sex is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church and that belief informs policies of how Fontbonne Academy and all Catholic schools are to operate on this issue (It is known as having values!—my addition).’
That didn’t sit well with Barrett, who contacted the local Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) and filed a complaint with the state. ‘Religiously-affiliated entities do not have a free pass to do as they please in how they treat employees (According to the above information, he was NOT an employee! He was going through the employment process! The organization “rescinded the job offer!”—my addition) ,’ GLAD insisted. Other liberals piled on, arguing that Barrett wouldn’t have been working in the classroom, imposing his agenda on the students. But imagine how confusing it would be to walk out of the classroom, where they’re learning about the church’s teachings, only to be confronted with a school employee living a way that contradicts the beliefs they were just taught? How do children process that (Answer me this. If the organization had been a Muslim school, would the homosexual activists have filed a complaint? NO!—my addition)?
What’s the purpose of moral education if not to instill a set of moral values into our children? We’ve seen the Left force this anti-faith agenda on businesses like cake shops, florists, wedding venues, caterers, and bed and breakfasts—insisting that surrendering your values is the price of competing in the marketplace. Now, it looks like they plan on controlling faith-based organizations as well, stripping schools and charities of their rights to establish and operate under a biblical code of conduct (They want only their way! No tolerance for any other position [except Muslim and that is out of fear!]!—my addition).
Folks, this is exactly what the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is all about. The President’s party is moving on legislation that would suffocate employers’ rights to run their workplace the way they see fit. Under ENDA, profits give way to political correctness, as radicals impose their own warped view of sexuality on every daycare, school administrator, and business across America (And some RINO Republicans voted for cloture and voted for the bill!—my addition).
And if you believe homosexual activists will be satisfied with just applying this to for-profit entities, think again. Once the Left gets through crushing the freedom of the marketplace, they’ll increasingly target faith-based groups and demand the same ‘tolerance.’ The workplace, including the innocent schools like Fontbonne Academy, would be open season on people with religious convictions and beliefs (Absolutely true!—my addition).”
The most intolerant people in this nation are those who scream “tolerance!”

This is my two part suggestion to Tea Party groups, social conservatives, Constitutionalists, and anyone else who wants to save our Republic from the approaching destruction.
1) Run as many conservative candidates in as many Republican primaries as possible.
2) Then, run as many independent and/or third party candidates as possible in as many races as possible where we did not win the primary.
That is why I am working to get the Constitution Party on the ballot in Texas. If we get on the ballot, we will have two Congressional House candidates running and two State candidates running. Getting on the ballot is the first step. Winning elections is the second. Winning elections will grow the Party. The Constitution Party is much more in line with the Tea Party movement than is the Republican Party. And I have been involved with all three!

If elected to Congress, I will not, under any circumstances, vote for present Speaker of the House John Boehner to be Speaker of the House. I call on every Republican primary candidate running in Texas Congressional District 19 to publicly (in writing) make the same pledge. It would not be a bad idea for every Republican candidate running for the House of Representatives to give the same pledge. See my post at http://christiangunslinger3.blogspot.com on December 16, 2013 entitled “Speaker of the House John Boehner Attacks the Tea Party Again for Being Fiscally Responsible!”

If I am elected to the House, I will use the Constitution, as written, to do everything in my power to stop judicial tyranny! Will the other candidates pledge the same? I know our present Representative has NOT done everything possible to stop judicial tyranny! Why is that?

Competition is good for the economy and competition is good for the Republican Party!!! Competition keeps Congressmen committed to we the people!!! Primary Republicans who do not support the Constitution as written.
