March 17 2016 By dvirtue As Predicted, Here Come the Gay Bullies

In the U.K., Pink News reports that, "Scotland is training a small army of LGBT-friendly police officers to stamp out hate crime."

This "small army" has been tasked with encouraging victims of "hate crimes" to report those crimes to the police, since such crimes are allegedly under-reported.

Actually, for me there is no dilemma. Press me on what is the single biggest social or political issue facing this country, and I don't hesitate to say that it is the collapse of fatherhood. Almost all social ills can be traced back to this issue, if you follow the line back far enough, and addressing the problem is key to beginning to turn the country from its relentless drive to becoming a Third World Apple Monarchy (Banana Republic doesn't quite fit the bill).

Mr. Trump won a plurality of evangelical votes in each of the last three Republican contests, in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. He won the glowing endorsement of Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, who has called him "one of the greatest visionaries of our time."

In the wake of religiously motivated terrorism--like the recent incidents in San Bernardino and Paris--it is no wonder that a backlash against extremism is reaching a boiling point.
