“Homosexual Lobby” Fighting For “Gay Bill Of Special Rights And Offense of Marriage Act”
“If the Homosexual Lobby succeeds in reshaping America in their image, the values you and I hold dear will be lost forever.
“The ultimate goal of every radical Homosexual Activist is to create a new America where sexual promiscuity is the new norm, and traditional values are long forgotten.”
Â
Yes, we’ve shared these emails from Eugene Delgaudio before. To refresh your memory, Eugene Delgaudio is the founder of a thirty-​year old ultra-right-wing conservative organization, something he calls The Public Advocate, which sounds like a public government office, but is an email fundraising scam that has reportedly delivered Delgaudio $1 million to $1.6 million a year, thanks to insanely stupid emails like the ones below.
While The Public Advocate is not a government office, curiously, Eugene Delgaudio actually does have a full-time job as a government official who represents the Sterling District on the Loudoun County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors. He is also the the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors’ Finance/Government Services Committee, among several other local positions.
The Public Advocate, Delgaudio’s website states:
Public Advocate offers strong and vocal opposition to :
Same sex marriage and the furtherance of so-​called “Gay Rightsâ€;
The National Endowment of the Arts or taxpayer supported art and the federal funding and endorsement of pornography and obscenity as legitimate forms of art from any agency;
The mainstream media’s promotion and glorification of drug abuse, teenage sex, gangs, atheism, homosexuality and other immoral behavior and beliefs;
The passage of hate crimes and thought control legislation that creates inequality in our state and federal legal systems and singles out Christians or moral thinking people for persecution, fines, and harrassment [sic] by the government at any level;
“Pro-​choice†or abortion strengthening legislation that upholds or expands the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision of 1973;
The creation of special classes of Americans at the expense of the traditional American family.
Oh, and it should come as no surprise, but Delgaudio is an anti-gay liar.
I’ve removed the links from the emails below since they’re coded and could give Mr. Delgaudio the information he would need to determine which one of our readers shared this email with me.
But here’s another link you should have: Paramount Communication Group.
See, Paramount Communication Group is the email marketing strategy organization Delgaudio is now using to send out his hate-filled anti-gay lies. And if you read their terms of service, you’ll see Delgaudio’s emails are in direct violation of Paramount’s Acceptable Use Policy.
Won’t you take a moment and email them to let them know — they probably don’t, but should.

Dear XXXXX, Do you still care? I need every single member of Public Advocate who still cares about our struggle to complete the Membership Poll. This Poll will give me critical insight into which of our fights you and countless other Americans care most about. Do you want to save Marriage? Or our Classrooms? Or just defend the rights of employers, such as businesses, churches and daycare centers? This is your last chance to complete the Poll — I simply cannot wait any longer to move forward. All the details are in my email below — please take just a few minutes to read through so you can understand just how big this fight is. For the Family, Eugene Delgaudio,
From: Eugene Delgaudio [eugene.delgaudio@
Sent : Thursday, February 16, 2012 1:57 PM Subject: Public Advocate’s Membership Poll
Dear XXXXX, I’ve never had such a difficult decision… I desperately need your advice. You see, the homosexual onslaught is relentless. They’ve been attacking on every front for months and your Public Advocate is worn to the bone. Andy, I’m worn to the bone. During the holidays, I could barely take time away to spend with my family. Their attacks were so relentless. And because I just barely reached my end-of-year fundraising goals, the radical Homosexual Lobby smells blood in the water. Over the past month, they’ve launched a tidal wave attack to ram through their entire agenda — while I can barely fight back… And now… Now I’m forced to make a decision. You see, the Homosexual Lobby is pushing three main planks in their campaign to reshape America: This legislation would spin impressionable students in a whirlwind of sexual confusion and misinformation, even peer pressure to “experiment†with the homosexual “lifestyle;†2) The Offense to Marriage Act, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act which has stood for over a decade against the Homosexual Lobby. If passed, wedding gown-clad men smooching before some left-wing clergyman or state official is just the beginning. You’ll see men hand-in-hand skipping down to adoption centers to “pick out†a little boy for themselves. And religious adoption agencies? SHUT DOWN. 3) The Gay Bill of Special Rights, granting special job rights to homosexuals. Every homosexual fired or not hired becomes a potential federal civil rights lawsuit. Radical homosexuals will terrorize day cares, hospitals and churches. Traditional moral values will be shattered by federal decree. My friend, all of these bills are grave threats to morality and the Family… I just don’t know which to fight. That’s why your advice is so critical. Which do you consider the biggest threat? Please click here and complete the Membership Poll with your advice as soon as possible. You see, without your advice, I don’t feel comfortable pulling resources from one fight to another. But if enough members like you tell me that one or two of these bills represent the greatest threat to you personally, I can move forward knowing I’m doing the right thing. Of course, fighting just one will cost precious resources. In fact, if I’m to effectively defeat even one of these bills, I’m going to need an immediate influx of funds. That’s why along with your advice, I desperately need you to contribute financially so that your Public Advocate is strong enough to defeat the Homosexual Lobby. If the Homosexual Lobby succeeds in reshaping America in their image, the values you and I hold dear will be lost forever. The ultimate goal of every radical Homosexual Activist is to create a new America where sexual promiscuity is the new norm, and traditional values are long forgotten. You and I can’t let them succeed. I’ve prepared a massive grassroots lobbying campaign to defeat these bills. The plans are all there ready to go… I just need you to click here and tell me which one! But that still leaves all the costs… Defeating just one of these bills will take tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. I’ve currently budgeted around $35,000 for each fight. But that’s not nearly enough… Are you a business owner who refuses to submit to the threat of lawsuits by defeating the Gay Bill of Special Rights? Or are you a parent or grandparent who desperately wants to protect the innocence of the next generation by defeating the Homosexual Classrooms Act? Or are you passionate about preserving the sanctity of REAL marriage by making sure the Offense of Marriage Act NEVER repeals the Defense of Marriage Act? Will you help me raise what Public Advocate needs to win? In order to make sure the Homosexual Classrooms Act NEVER becomes law, I’ve calculated that I need you and a majority of other pro-family Americans to contribute $50 right away. But there’s also the Gay Bill of Special Rights and the Offense of Marriage Act… We have to fight those too! If you’re like me, nothing short of fighting AND DEFEATING every single one of these bills will ever be enough! But for you and I to win I need you to give more than ever. I’ve calculated that winning every one of these battles will require you and other supporters to give $150, or even $200 each. Can I count on you to give that today? Whether your most generous contribution is $50, $100, or $150; give what you can to keep the Family strong. Thank you, in advance. Yours for the family,
P.S. I desperately need your advice. You see, the Homosexual Lobby is pushing three main planks: the Gay Bill of Special Rights, the Offense of Marriage Act, and the Homosexual Classrooms Act. Or if you’re like me and you want to win every one of these fights, please send $150, or even $200 along with your advice right away!

President Donald Trump, his team, and his allies are “saboteurs” who are “wrecking” all the institutions that brought America prosperity and prestige, says a fascism expert who warns that the president may take action to disrupt — or even cancel —a future election.
Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a professor of history and a scholar of fascism, is an expert on authoritarianism and strongmen. She spoke with Politicon’s James Carville and Al Hunt on Friday.
When asked whether it is “accurate” to call Trump a fascist, Dr. Ben-Ghiat replied, “He’s got many fascist qualities, and they’re recycling Nazi slogans now,” she observed.
Trump, she continued, “made a campaign video that said that he was going to — he was going to create a ‘unified Reich.'”

“They’re taking from the fascist playbook,” she added, noting that they “love” Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and “all autocrats.”
“They are trying their best to have an authoritarian state and destroy our democracy,’ she warned.
Ben-Ghiat agreed that she is worried that Trump would try to do something to intervene in the elections, perhaps by not holding one.
The “more they feel backed into a corner,” she observed, “and these are people, these strong men, who live in fear of being — getting into a position where they can be held accountable.”
“It’s inconceivable that he would just leave office normally,” she noted. “So you can’t underestimate what they’re going to do.”
“It could be the Insurrection Act, it could be trying to have a state — some kind of state emergency to cancel the election,” she said. “ICE could be used in violent ways or intimidating ways to get people to stay home.”

“All kinds of tricks could be used.”
“They’re not gonna give up without a fight,” she warned.
Ben-Ghiat also said, “I have been saying since February — and people thought I was like a conspiracy theorist — that Trump and company are saboteurs.”
“They’re trying to sabotage America so thoroughly that it’ll be wrecked for generations, and that’s why they’re wrecking medical research, scientific research, child welfare. All the things that brought America prosperity and prestige in the world have to be wrecked.”
“I truly see Trump as in office in part to solve Putin’s problems. And to make autocracy flourish.”
“He’s trying to take down America in every way. So that it has its role in the Western hemisphere, and then Xi can do his thing in Asia, and Putin can prosper, and all the failed, horrible states can have a new life, because the U.S. military or the U.S. — they’re not gonna come after them.”

President Donald Trump, in what appeared to be an attempt to pressure two major cable news networks, warned against booking two prominent former officials from his first administration.
Trump targeted CNN and MS NOW — formerly MSNBC, which he called “MSDNC” — while denouncing attorney Ty Cobb, a former member of the White House legal team who reported directly to the president, and former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff Miles Taylor.
The president called Cobb “one of the Worst Lawyers in Washington, D.C.,” and a “WHACKJOB, who I hardly knew,” and said Taylor is “another major Loser … who I have no idea who he is.”
He charged that both “make livings talking about me like they know me well.”

“So, when you watch these two guys on Television, which, fortunately, doesn’t happen often because there’s very little audience at either CNN or MSDNC,” he wrote, “remember, they know nothing about me — Just two DOPES trying to make a ‘buck’ by pretending to know something about someone who turned out to be very famous.”
Trump already was the president when they served in his administration.
“These two Networks are forewarned not to put them on the air again, because they have no knowledge or credibility with respect to anything have [sic] to do with DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Last month, Cobb “claimed President Trump is experiencing a ‘significant decline’ in his mental faculties,” according to The Hill.
“I think the dementia and the cognitive decline are, you know, palpable, as do many experts, including many physicians,” Cobb said.
Trump’s social media post came just about the same time that he or someone with access to his social media account deleted what many, including several prominent Republicans, denounced as a racist meme that depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

Ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl, a Washington Post guest opinion piece praising the deliberate growth of the Christian sports movement is being met with criticism by readers who appear to largely disagree with professional sports becoming overtly religious.
“Today athletes are some of the most prominent Christians in public life, far exceeding any pastor or priest,” writes Paul Putz, director of the Faith and Sports Institute at Baylor University’s Truett Seminary. “And the interviews offered at the end of sporting events may be the only time many Americans will hear a proclamation of faith.”
“Christians will be prominently featured during the biggest sports Sunday of the year. Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Patriots quarterback Drake Maye have already used the run-up to the game to share their faith in Christ,” he notes. “When the contest starts, players will be found at various points kneeling in prayer, and pointing upward to God in celebration.”

Putz also points to the event’s popular commercials, which he says for the fourth year will include “the latest Jesus ad from the ‘He Gets Us’ campaign.”
“And during the postgame interviews they’ll hear the winners give glory to God, while the losers try to make sense of the disappointment, perhaps turning to the Bible for solace.”
Putz makes clear that this “transformation” from a largely secular game to one infused with religion “did not happen by accident,” but is “the result of a Christian sports movement that has been growing since the 1950s.” He points to evangelical sports ministries such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Pro Athletes Outreach, and Athletes in Action.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes reportedly has come under scrutiny over the years for its recruitment efforts in public high schools, and for its statements against homosexuality.
Readers offered sharp criticism.

“People of faith have always been in sports. They just didn’t feel the need to ram it down our throats before,” wrote one reader in the most popular comment.
“I hate to break it these athletes but God doesn’t care if you score a touchdown. God hopefully has more important things to be concerned about,” said another.
“Performing public Christianity is not Christianity, which Republicans do not seem to get at all. Aren’t we all just sick of politics and culture war dressed up as religion?” asked still another.
“Football Christianity and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes…really?” asked another reader. “What does that have to do with the Sermon on the Mount, Beatitudes, compassion teachings, taking care of the poor, the hungry, the stranger, the ill? Where are they in Minneapolis, Chicago, Los Angeles? When people were being rounded up, beaten, shot, pepper sprayed, dragged from their homes and automobiles?”
