Watch this remarkable 7 min documentary on an evangelical pro-life leader who is also FOR GUN CONTROL and that’s why he just left the GOP! Like most other conservative evangelical ministers, the Rev. Rob Schenck objects to same-sex marriage. He is also vehemently against abortion rights. But as this Op-Doc video shows, he is remarkable in that he takes his pro-life stance so far that he contests death by gun. The way he sees it, the gun violence plaguing our... Read more
Here is more (new) video evidence from the front lines of our police state….

I remember a group of evangelicals (Franklin Graham et al) laying hands on W Bush and holding him “up to the Lord for victory.” God answered prayer and so W destroyed the Middle East. Praise Jesus!
