Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage launches a new anti-LGBTQ group, the International Organization for the Family. He believes in "pro-family" and "defies the LGBT culture". Should marriage only be between a man and a women?

This is extremely sad to see but not surprising. Homophobia is still around and these people are hateful. The hope is hat they don't manage to get any laws past that might hurt LGBT people. The supreme court ruled that for marriage equality.

I agree, this is truly a sad state of affairs, but in the current political climate not at all surprising.

In this report it talks about foster kids and what happens to them after they turn 18. While some states, a small handful, have programs for the kids others do not.

There was a group home next door to my home for years. These kids had no support even when they were in the system. They were often locked out of the home when the state workers needed to go somewhere. My family and I ended up being family for many of these children. One afternoon, Charles who lived in the group home, rang our doorbell. I came out and he was yellow and falling over. I asked him where are the workers. He let me know they had locked them out again. I put him in my car and rushed him to the hospital. I knew it was bad when the emergency room nurses took him immediately. The staff at the group home had been giving him the wrong medication and he lost most of his liver. Charles calls me mom. His children call me Grandma. A lot of the kids that were living in the home, call me mom. I refer to them as one of my kids. The best way to take care of these children is to invite them into your heart, lives and family before and after they turn 18. Demonstrate the way to success by showing them love.

Perry Chiaramonte reports a study taken by the Center for Studies on New Religions, and quotes Robert Nicholson and Ryan Mauro on the subject of Christian persecution. Being a Christian is the most dangerous thing you can do in many nations, and Christianity is the religion of the powerless.

I must say, I am not at all surprised that this study shows Christians as being the "most persecuted group in the world." All throughout history Christians have been persecuted in one way or another, especially during the Middle Ages. It is sad, however, to see how far from that era the world had come, yet seemingly is now back-sliding to that.

On the surface, conservatism and Christian democratic thought are quite similar with regard to social welfare, but there is one key difference.  Following the Catholic teachings, Christian Democrats believe that the responsibility of taking care of the poor and needy lies with the community, not the government.  Both groups feel that lawfulness and stability are highly important, but they have very different approaches to achieve these goals.

Outside groups spend millions during an election to influence voters' decisions with dark money. The integrity of our elections and the potential for the mega rich to control what information is publicized can lean the balance of power to a few groups and their intrests.

I remember my government teacher mentioning that's stuff like this goes on, and I think it is very wrong! It's crazy and not right to see how much money is now being spent on presidential campaigns.

JAN 28, 2017 - Several Oklahoma social justice groups including the Interfaith Alliance of Oklahoma, Council on American-Islamic Relations-Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice, shared statements expressing their opposition to the ban on immigration recently imposed by the U.S.

His description of how this happened is almost backwards: freedom and individualism are not to blame. the conservative thinker Frank Meyer emphasized, by freeing the individual, Christianity created a tension between its high standards-to be perfect as the Father is perfect, to turn the other cheek-and the impossibility of achieving them.What we see today in the success of gay marriage is not really freedom run amok, but the result of turning the power to define morality over to the state, or to the dominant group representing it.
