Of course, not supporting Gay Marriage is enough for the media to declare NAZI! \u00a0And it never fails that the person who has endorsed all evil is left defending himself, as opposed to asking the media why things have come this far in the first place. \u00a0One common tactic in the defense is insisting that one has friends who are gay, or knows someone who is gay, or has no problem with people who are gay. \u00a0This is because the Left has always been brilliant at defining hatred, evil, bigotry, racism, sexism or anything else as simply refusing to accept liberal values. \u00a0So you don\u2019t support gay marriage? \u00a0Obviously you are a bigot who hates gays. \u00a0Thus the defense.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what Mike did. \u00a0While being grilled on CNN over his refusal to jump on the bandwagon, Huckabee stated the usual, he knows gays and has gay friends. \u00a0When asked how this could be, or if it creates tension, he pointed out that he has friends who do things or think things he disagrees with or doesn\u2019t do himself. \u00a0He has friends who smoke, drink, cuss. \u00a0He doesn\u2019t, but they\u2019re friends. \u00a0They simply agree to disagree. \u00a0 You\u2019d think the problem with that answer was how wimpy it is and how much it concedes to the Leftist paradigm. \u00a0But no. \u00a0You\u2019d be wrong.<\/p>\n

So all day the Media, in one coordinated voice, has run the headline: Huckabee compares being gay to drinking and swearing<\/a>! \u00a0That\u2019s not what he did. \u00a0In context, it\u2019s clear what he did. \u00a0But this is now. \u00a0Today. \u00a0My boys, who saw the initial interview, were stunned. \u00a0 CNN was doing a recap with three women reporters. \u00a0They all ran with this. \u00a0My boys saw the recap on CNN. \u00a0As my boys said, they were lying. \u00a0They know that\u2019s not what he was doing.<\/p>\n

What is more, one of the women went on to say that churches all over are accepting gay marriage. \u00a0Bible believing churches. \u00a0In Tennessee! \u00a0 Of course. \u00a0There have been churches all along that do this. \u00a0Many have been behind gay rights and gay marriage from the beginning. \u00a0She knows what she said is not entirely true. \u00a0But it doesn\u2019t matter. \u00a0This is now. \u00a0I don\u2019t think CNN is worried that someone watching may think \u2018gee, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s accurate.\u2019 \u00a0I believe, at this point in time, CNN (like most media outlets) is counting on the fact that most who watch don\u2019t care what\u2019s true. \u00a0Heck, if it\u2019s a lie, all the better, as long as it advances The Cause. \u00a0I\u2019m just glad my boys saw both the interview, and the flagrant false twisting of the reporting to see just how low the media is in today\u2019s world. \u00a0How much else is lies I wonder? \u00a0They certainly said they wonder.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
