NOM’s Black Pastors Attack NAACP And Gays, Per NOM Corporate Playbook

Published

on

“God will never be for homosexual marriages. God is against anybody who is for homosexual marriages.”

Perhaps the most-damning event in the history of the National Organization For Marriage was when a court unsealed previously-sealed NOM documents that exposed the anti-gay organization’s corporate playbook directing the group to “drive a wedge between gays and blacks.”

In a just-released “exclusive” video from NOM, they prove their devotion to this despicable and highly-criticized strategy of race-baiting.

As  The New Civil Rights Movement reported Friday, a group called the Coalition of African-American Pastors held a press conference and protest outside the NAACP‘s Houston convention last week. Reverend William Owens, the founder and head of the CAAP, says he is “a religious liaison for the National Organization For Marriage.”

Listen as Owens, and other African-American pastors and religious leaders denounce the LGBT community, homosexuality, and even claim ownership to the civil rights movement, as if only African-Americans deserve civil rights.

All according to NOM’s playbook.

In late March, NOM documents revealed these — and many other — disturbing corporate strategies and directives:

“The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks—two key Democratic constituencies. Find, equip, energize and connect African American spokespeople for marriage, develop a media campaign around their objections to gay marriage as a civil right; provoke the gay marriage base into responding by denouncing these spokesmen and women as bigots…”

“Expose Obama as a social radical. Develop side issues to weaken pro-gay marriage political leaders and parties and develop an activist hase of socially conservative voters. Raise such issues as pornography, protection of children, and the need to oppose all efforts to weaken religious liberty at the federal level.”

“To use homosexual marriage and civil rights in the same sentence is an oxymoron,” Pastor John McCrutcheon announces in NOM’s video, claiming that “the homosexual advocates have an agenda, that is basically to hijack the civil rights. Homosexuality is not a civil right.”

McCrutcheon couldn’t be more wrong. As Jeremy Hooper at Good As You notes, “That’s where we now are with NOM: they pit God against a growing majority of their fellow Americans.”

Hooper also notes in another post that one of the speakers on the video, Pastor Ericka McCrutcheon, once wrote:

Consider the Civil Rights Laws of America, it was good for all people especially for African Americans, legislated by a majority Republican Congress, endorsed by most Democrats in Congress and signed into Law by a Democratic President. It was good legislation and good for all people. However, since the signing of the Civil Rights Bill into Law, it has been high-jacked by lawless people and groups who use the good Law to carry out lawlessness and evil deeds and agendas. The Law is good if man use it lawfully. In America we now have homosexuals who used the Civil Rights Laws as a right to sodomize each other and practice other deviant behaviors in society and to call themselves married. When lead by unscrupulous so called legal experts, Extremist lay claim to America’s Civil Rights Laws even when they high-jack airplanes and use them as weapons of terror and other sinister agendas that are acted out on innocent people.

Infamous Bishop Harry Jackson also was on hand, quoting an NAACP board member who resigned, saying “he’s never seen any gay people asked to sit in the back of the bus.” Another ludicrous comment, as if no African-Americans were ever gay, as if sitting in the back of the bus was the only result of the lack of civil rights for African-Americans. That comment alone demeans gays and blacks — something NOM is actively engineering. Jackson should know better.

In May, just after President Obama announced his support of same-sex marriage, Bishop Jackson asked if President Obama “is going to … absolutely erase the image of biblical marriage from the face of the earth.”

Pastor Owens claims “peer pressure” is leading Blacks to support same-sex marriage, after President Obama announced his support.

“God is for heterosexual marriages,” Pastor John McCrutcheon claimed. “God has never been for homosexual marriages, God will never be for homosexual marriages. God is against anybody who is for homosexual marriages.”

These pastors ignore many facts, including that Julian Bond, a former head of the NAACP and its chairman emeritus, supports same-sex marriage, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s wife, Coretta Scott King, fully supported LGBT civil rights, and Dr. King himself gave Bayard Rutin, a Black, gay man who because his right hand, tremendous power in his organization.

Shame on NOM for continuing to lead the way in race-baiting. Shame on the men and women of God to fall for it.

‘Good Chance’ Trump Will Be Electorally ‘Humiliated’ in November: Carville

Published

on

Democratic strategist and pundit James Carville, responding to the international outcry and condemnation over President Donald Trump’s failed efforts to acquire Greenland, predicted that he will likely lose big in the November midterm elections.

“I think the world wants to return, with the United States as being part of the world,” Carville said on his podcast. “And I think the way that that happens is Trump has to be humiliated.”

“He has to be electorally humiliated, and I think there’s a good, good chance that’s gonna happen this November in our elections,” he said. “It’s not enough that he just walk away, and the Democrats take over the presidency.”

There has to be “a well laid plan and strategy to utterly humiliate him, to the point that everybody around the world says, ‘This m — —, or no one like this m — —, is gonna ever come back and lead the United States,'” Carville declared.

“I think that’s the possibility, and I think if that happens, I think we can renormalize the world a lot faster than most.”

“And he’s completely crazy,” Carville also remarked. “He’s going downhill.”

According to the New York Post, Trump will be campaigning during the midterm elections as if he were on the ballot.

“President Trump will treat the November midterm election like a presidential campaign, his senior leadership team tells The Post — traveling like he’s on the ballot, flooding key races with cash and hammering home how his policies will help Americans with affordability,” the Post reported.

Susie Wiles, Trump’s White House Chief of Staff and his former campaign co-chair, told The Post, “He’s going to campaign like it’s 2024.”

Trump ‘Miscalculated’ and It ‘Backfired’: Columnist Explains What Led to Trump ‘Failing’

Published

on

President Donald Trump “miscalculated” his level of support — especially on the issues that won him re-election in 2024, and it has “backfired,” according to an opinion columnist.

In “Why Trump is failing,” Steven Roberts in the Columbia Missourian writes: “Trump has called 2025 ‘the greatest first year’ of any president, but a majority of Americans strongly disagree.”

“To hardcore MAGA loyalists, the president can do no wrong. But rabid Red Hats account for only about 35% of Americans,” observes Roberts.

He identifies where the president is losing support: “since Trump received almost 50% of the popular vote, that means about 15% of his backers were not true believers, and they are the ones who are slipping away.”

Roberts identifies why.

“The single biggest reason Trump won a second term was economic discontent with the Biden administration, and it’s the single biggest reason so many voters are now disillusioned,” he says, pointing to a CNN poll that, he writes, finds “55% say Trump’s policies have actually made things worse and almost two-thirds say he has not done enough to reduce their cost of living.”

But Roberts offers more.

He explains that Americans supported Trump’s policies on immigration when it was about immigrants at the border.

“They were ‘others’: easy to demonize and dehumanize. They had no voice and no identity, and Trump and his media managers could control what voters knew and felt about them.”

But, he continues, “Trump miscalculated, and his show backfired,” because his targets are no longer “faceless hordes but real people with jobs and families, friends and neighbors.”

The came the shooting of a Minneapolis mother of three, Renee Good.

“The administration tried to brand her as a domestic terrorist who had caused her own demise by driving at the agent. But the videos — seen by more than 80% of Americans — told a different story,” he writes. “Good simply did not look like a terrorist. Plus, independent news organizations analyzed the cellphone footage and concluded that it ‘contradicted’ the official line.”

Trump “lost control of the narrative, and public opinion turned against him.”

The president’s other miscalculation: his stance on the affordability issue, an issue that arguably got him re-elected.

With just 36 percent of Americans saying Trump has the right priorities, Roberts surmises that is simply his “loyal MAGA base.”

And he warns that if this trend continues, voters at the polls in November will “take it out on his party.”

Trump Unleashes Wild Ego-Fueled Social Media Grievance Storm After Davos Defeat

Published

on

President Donald Trump on Thursday unleashed dozens of rapid-fire social media posts after what critics described as a difficult few days at Davos. His speech there reportedly further strained relations with U.S. allies, following his Greenland gambit, which produced few if any clear gains and drew criticism over its diplomatic costs. The rollout of Trump’s Board of Peace also struggled to gain traction, with a handful of European allies participating in the inaugural signing ceremony.

In spoke of the more recent posts, Trump went off on “Fake Polls,” while admitting that they have his approval rating “in the low 40s,” although The Economist shows his net approval rating currently at 37%.

“We have the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, we have the Strongest Border in History, nobody has ever done a job like I have done, and they have me in the low 40s,” he complained. “The Democrats destroyed Healthcare, I’m trying to fix it, and they give me FAKE low numbers. Fake Polls on the Economy, on the Border, on just about everything, are ridiculous and dangerous. The REAL Polls have been GREAT, but they refuse to print them.

“The Times Siena Poll, which is always tremendously negative to me, especially just before the Election of 2024, where I won in a Landslide, will be added to my lawsuit against The Failing New York Times,” he wrote. “Our lawyers have demanded that they keep all Records, and how they ‘computed’ these fake results — Not just the fact that it was heavily skewed toward Democrats. They will be held fully responsible for all of their Radical Left lies and wrongdoing!”

Some posts promoted questionable claims, including suggesting that annualized U.S. GDP grew to more than 5 percent — while most expectations and Congressional Budget Office predictions are currently about half that number.

He promoted a claim that he “helped create ‘The Martin Luther King Jr International Freedom Games’ in 1966,” when he would have been about 20 years old.

Other posts he promoted talked about the U.S. trade deficit, alleged illegal voting in the 2020 election, immigration, tariffs, globalism, Don Lemon, Supreme Court oral arguments for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and one declaring Trump the “greatest President in the world.”

Another post offered the transcript and video of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller allegedly claiming, and without evidence, that James Comey, Jim Clapper, John Brennan, Lisa Monaco, and President Barack Obama “all conspired and worked together to sabotage, undermine, unravel, and overthrow the United States government and the democratic institutions and structures of this country.”

That post, as Raw Story reported, appeared to be in response to former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s currently ongoing congressional public testimony.

Another post included video of Argentinian President Javier Milei attacking “wokeism” while praising the “Americas.”
