Perkins Furious That Blinken Axed Pompeo’s Anti-LGBT Policy: He Doesn’t Care About “Biblical And Moral Law”


Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins:

The State Department launched its 45th human rights report Tuesday — but after Secretary Antony Blinken’s latest comments, no one is quite sure what “rights” we’re actually talking about. Under Biden, the administration has been pretty clear that they aren’t interested in the Constitution’s definitions or even moral law. They want to go back to cloaking their social activism in “freedom.” And destroying the State Department’s Commission on Unalienable Rights was only step number one.

“There is no hierarchy that makes some rights more important than others,” Blinken argued. “Past unbalanced statements that suggest such a hierarchy, including those offered by a recently disbanded State Department advisory committee, do not represent a guiding document for this administration. At my confirmation hearing, I promised the Biden-Harris administration would repudiate those unbalanced views. We do so decisively today.”

Unbalanced? Is that what Joe Biden’s administration thinks about hundreds of years of biblical, moral, and legal consensus? Former Secretary Mike Pompeo could only imagine. “It was sad to hear,” he said on “Washington Watch,” “that the work of the commission that I had put together [with people] from every major religion, people from across the political spectrum [had been abolished].”

"in his rage drove his right foot so far into the ground that it sank in up to his waist; then in a passion he seized the left foot with both hands and tore himself in two."

Tony-take your Bible and stick it where the sun don't shine. You talk about the Constitution and then completely ignore the Establishment Clause. You are free to practice your religion in the way you see fit, you are not free to impose your fricking moronic beliefs on the on the rest of us.

Poor little would-be oppressor!

Keep your religion out of my government...or get ready for my government to get into your religion (through tax policy).

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion too. And the Constitution is pretty
clear about a separation between church and state.

BTW if something makes Tony Perkins angry then I am for it.
