Janet Folger Says Mike Huckabee Is Best Candidate

From Janet Folger's WorldNetDaily article:

"Here's the bottom line: Of the tier-one candidates, whom do you trust on the most fundamental issues we face? Romney has flipped on every major issue preceding his run for the president – no wonder there's a laugh track when it comes to the question of integrity on that ad. Oh, and another thing. Romney just came out in favor of ENDA – The Employment Non Discrimination Act, "thought crimes for the workplace" – which was responsible for closing down Catholic Charities' adoption agency because they refused to place vulnerable orphan children in the homes of homosexual activists. Not surprising, Romney could have prevented it by executive order while governor, said Michael Dukakis (who is not known for his pro-family advocacy): "The state's anti-discrimination statutes do not preclude an exemption for the Catholic organization," he said. But, instead, the largest and most respected adoption agency in Boston was forced out of business while Romney was busy declaring "Youth Gay Pride Day" and his Department of Health was developing the vulgar "The Little Black Book … Queer in the 21st Century," indoctrinating children to perform "safe gay sex" – an oxymoron. Business owners, brace yourself. Unless you also embrace and subsidize the homosexual agenda, Romney will try to close your doors, as well."

Mitt Romney Disqualified As A Pro-Family Advocate

Mitt Romney's Christmas Present to the 'Gay' Lobby Should End Pro-Family Leaders' Support for his Candidacy


Contact: Peter LaBarbera, 630-717-7631, rffv@comcast.net


CHICAGO, December 26, /Christian Newswire/ -- Peter LaBarbera, longtime pro-family advocate and founder of the Republicans For Family Values website, is calling on pro-family leaders who have endorsed Mitt Romney to withdraw their support for his candidacy in light of his recent comments on NBC's "Meet the Press" supporting pro-homosexual "sexual orientation" state laws.


"Mitt Romney's Christmas present to the homosexual lobby disqualifies him as a pro-family leader," LaBarbera said. "Laws that treat homosexuality as a civil right are being used to promote homosexual 'marriage,' same-sex adoption and pro-homosexuality indoctrination of schoolchildren. These same laws pose a direct threat to the freedom of faith-minded citizens and organizations to act on their religious belief that homosexual behavior is wrong.


"Romney may have had a late conversion on abortion, but it appears his ninth-inning flip-flop on homosexuality is falling short due to his strong commitment to 'gay rights,'" LaBarbera said. (See the 'Mitt Romney Deception' report) "Now some pro-family leaders –– who have raised millions of dollars over the years opposing 'gay' activism –– will need to explain how they can go on supporting an openly pro-homosexual-agenda candidate."


LaBarbera said it is "inconceivable after Massachusetts' twin disasters involving homosexual 'marriage' and homosexual adoption that Romney now is recommending pro-homosexual 'orientation' laws –– long derided as "special rights" among social conservatives — to the rest of the nation.


"In Romney's own state of Massachusetts, the state 'sexual orientation' nondiscrimination law laid the groundwork for homosexual activists' campaign to legalize 'same-sex marriage' –– which then-Gov. Romney brought to fruition with his unnecessary and illegal directive granting marriage licenses to homosexual partners," LaBarbera said. "The same pro-gay state law also forced Boston's Catholic Charities to shut down its century-old adoption agency because it would not pledge to place children in homosexual-led households against Catholic teaching.


"Given Romney's extensive pro-homosexual record and willingness now to depart from principle on this crucial issue, should we trust a 'President Romney' not to reverse course again on federal pro-homosexual laws such as 'Hate Crimes' and ENDA (Employment Nondiscrimination Act)?" LaBarbera said.

The following is excerpted from Romney's "Meet the Press" interview December 16 with Tim Russert:


MR. RUSSERT: You said [in 1994] that you would sponsor [Sen. Ted Kennedy's federal] Employment Nondiscrimination Act. Do you still support it?


GOV. ROMNEY: At the state level. I think it makes sense at the state level for states to put in provision of this.


MR. RUSSERT: Now, you said you would sponsor it at the federal level.


GOV. ROMNEY: I would not support at the federal level, and I changed in that regard because I think that policy makes more sense to be evaluated or to be implemented at the state level.

Mitt Romney On Gay And Lesbian Adoption

Before he started running for President:

Governor Mitt Romney and a legislative leader yesterday delivered unwelcome news to the Catholic bishops of Massachusetts, who plan to seek permission from the state to exclude gay and lesbian parents from adopting children through its social service agencies. The governor said he was not authorized to give such an exemption...Boston Globe, 2/17/06


After he started running for President:

"And then another slide along the slippery slope. The Catholic Church was forced to end its adoption service, which was crucial in helping the state find homes for some of our most difficult to place children... Now, even religious freedom was being trumped by the new-found 'right' of gay marriage." Speech to National Right to Life Convention, 6/15/07
