Hate Group Leader Tony Perkins Lies about Gay Terror

The definition Jesus gave for Satanists is that they LIE.
John 8, New International Version

39 “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you wouldd do the things Abraham did. 40As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the things your own father does.”

“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”

The Children of the Devil

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.





FRC's Tony Perkins Likens Gay Men, Lesbians To Terrorists
By On Top Magazine Staff
Published: April 30, 2011

In the wake of law firm King & Spalding's decision to withdraw from representing House Republicans in ongoing litigation challenging the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Tony Perkins, the president of the Christian conservative group Family Research Council (FRC), likened gay men and lesbians to terrorists.

The Atlanta-based firm on Monday announced it would drop the case, prompting partner Paul Clement to jump ship to the Washington-based Bancroft PLLC, where he'll continue to work on the case. House leaders took on the task of defending the law that bans the federal government from recognizing the marriages of gay couples after President Barack Obama announced he would no longer because he believes the law is unconstitutional.

“This has moved from cultural terrorism to corporate terrorism,” Perkins opined during Friday's edition of FRC's Washington Watch radio show. That's what this is. Now, back in the 80's and early 90's I worked with the state department in anti-terrorism and we trained about fifty different countries in defending against terrorism, and it's, at its base, what terrorism is, it's a strike against the general populace simply to spread fear and intimidation so that they can disrupt and destabilize the system of government. That's what the homosexuals are doing here to the legal system.”



Virginia's Ken Cuccinelli Dumps King & Spalding After Firm Drops DOMA Case





Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli announced on Friday that his office would no longer use the law firm King & Spalding due to the firm's decision to withdraw from representing House Republicans in ongoing litigation challenging the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which federally bans gay marriage, The Washington Examiner reported.

The Atlanta-based firm on Monday announced it would drop the case, prompting partner Paul Clement to jump ship to the Washington-based Bancroft PLLC, where he'll continue to work on the case. House leaders took on the task of defending the law after President Barack Obama announced he would no longer because he believes the law is unconstitutional.

In a letter to King & Spalding, Cuccinelli, a Republican, wrote that the firm's decision “was such an obsequious act of weakness that I feel compelled to end your legal association with Virginia so that there is no chance that one of my legal clients will be put in the embarrassing and difficult situation like the client you walked away from, the House of Representatives.”

“Virginia seeks firms of commitment, courage, strength and toughness, and unfortunately, what the world has learned of King & Spalding, is that your firm utterly lacks such qualities.”

Cuccinelli said he was terminating the state's relationship with King & Spalding “effective immediately.” The firm was first placed on retainer by Cuccinelli's predecessor, Republican Bill Mims, in 2009.

Cuccinelli made headlines in March when just weeks after taking office he called on the state's colleges and universities to rescind anti-discrimination policies based on sexual orientation, calling such protections illegal. He's also opposed giving gay couples the right to adopt.

Priest sentenced to 3 years for stealing $1 million from church for male escorts

Who said it wasn't fun being a Roman Catholic priest?   The Reverend Kevin Gray has been sentenced to 3 years in prison after allegedly absconding with church money after faking a terminal illness from the Sacred Heart church in Waterbury, Connecticut to pay for male escorts and a lavish lifestyle.  The Waterbury police had been investigating him since June of 2010 for allegedly taking the money over a seven year period. The money was to be used for church repairs and church debt.

He has pled no contest to the charges, which is not an admission of guilt.   He was also sentenced to 3 years of probation.
What does the church have to say?  Apparently, absolutely nothing.  He has not been asked to pay back the money because the diocese did not ask for restitution.

Ex-Salvation Army pastor gets 18 years in prison for stealing from immigrants in green card scam

PLAINFIELD — A former Salvation Army pastor found guilty of stealing thousands of dollars from immigrants in exchange for green cards was sentenced today to 18 years in state prison, said Ann Rubin, Union County assistant prosecutor.

Enoc "Tito" Sotelo, 51, was convicted in January of 17 counts of theft by deception and one count of conspiracy to commit theft. His wife Vereli Sotelo, 37, was convicted of six counts of conspiracy to commit theft by deception and sentenced today to six years in state prison, Rubin said.

Sotelo was accused of running a scheme where he would promise illegal immigrants that he would help them obtain green cards through a Florida attorney named Oscar Ruiz. He collected about $4,000 from each victim between December 2004 and February 2006, and told them $500 would go to the Salvation Army, according to an investigation by the Union County Prosecutor’s Office.

None of the money went to the charity, and none of the victims received a green card.
