Top Christian Activist: Gay Rights Transforming US Into ‘Totalitarianism’ Of Hitler’s Germany

A top Christian anti-gay activist’s latest manifesto for money claims that gay rights advances will transform American democracy into the “totalitarianism” of Hitler’s Germany. Tony Perkins, head of the anti-gay hate group Family Research Council, sent an email blast to supporters last night, titled, “Thuggery, Persecution, Bullying… are you next on their list?”

In the email, Perkins accuses LGBT rights advocates of “Thuggery,” “Tyranny,” “Anti-Christian persecution,” and “Bullying.”

It’s a manifesto filled with falsehoods.

Thuggery. That’s what it was, plain and simple — when Mozilla fired CEO Brendan Eich after just two-and-a-half weeks . . . after they learned he’d given a donation in support of traditional marriage through Proposition 8 in California . . . five years prior.

False.

Mozilla confirmed that Eich resigned. And they knew, as did all of America since it was reported in a top U.S. newspaper in 2010, that Eich had contributed to Prop 8, but promoted him despite that knowledge.

Tyranny. That’s what it was when Senior Master Sergeant Philip Monk declined to support homosexual “marriage” — and found himself relieved of his duties. It used to be “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” for homosexuals; now it applies to Christians — while homosexuality is championed.

False.

Zack Ford at Think Progress reports that “the facts of Monk’s story do not seem to add up to the claims of a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” for Christians he’s now making in the media.” 

Ford explains that “the case is not about his beliefs about marriage or homosexuality, but about his willingness to follow his commander’s instructions and enforce military policy. It doesn’t matter that Monk’s commanding officer was a lesbian or that her opinion on marriage equality differs from his. Furthermore, he wasn’t “fired,” he was simply reassigned, and he even admits that he was due for a reassignment and that his new position is commensurate with his rank and experience. What he is worried about is whether he’ll receive a Meritorious Service Medal he’d been recommended for — before he apparently refused to follow his commander’s orders.”

Bullying. That’s exactly what the homosexual group GLAAD did to HGTV to force them to cancel the new reality show “Flip-it Forward” with David and Jason Benham because they are Christians who have spoken in favor of natural marriage.

False.

As we all know, both Brendan Eich and the Benham Brothers lost their gigs because of grassroots activism by Americans who said, “Enough!” Americans no longer are willing to support, or even turn a blind eye, to anti-gay discrimination, and those who practice it have indeed been put on notice.

Perkins claims that the Employment non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) “would strip Americans of their religious liberties,” and “will grant special rights and privileges, special power over an employer’s religious convictions, to an entire group of people — simply because of their preference for a certain type of sexual activity.”

You no longer enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of religion, or freedom of association. The First Amendment is dead to you — because of your biblical views on the sin of homosexuality.

False.

If the federal government can coerce you to comply with its views . . . cooperate with its policies . . . contribute to its plans for the transformation of America . . .
. . . well, sadly, this looks more and more like totalitarianism. We only have to look back to 1930 in Germany, or the USSR in the 1950s, to see what happens when leaders impose a totalitarian state on the people.
It doesn’t start at the end of a gun barrel. It starts small and silent. It starts with a line of type in a seemingly innocuous bill submitted in a legislative session. It starts with the elites mocking those who would dare warn of the logical conclusions of their deceptively labeled legislation. But it builds. And the other end of this story is that people — even hearing about the possibility of an ENDA-type law being passed — shrink back, fall silent, decline to step up and speak their mind. They give up their freedom of speech, of religion, of assembly, to “avoid trouble.”

Of course, the entire purpose of Tony Perkins’ falsehoods is to get innocent Americans who just don’t know better and believe whatever is put in front of them, without question, to fork over their hard-earned and hard-saved cash.

According to Charity Navigator, the Family Research Council gets just four out of five stars. The FRC hides its Board Members, Audited Financials, and Form 990 on its website. It spends more than 14 percent of its income — which is more than $14 million — on fundraising. And its president, Tony Perkins, makes about $170,000 a year.
