Pat Robertson on Jamal Khashoggi: Saudi Money More Important Than Journalist’s Life

Christian morality: Leading evangelical Pat Robertson says “100 billion worth of arms sales” is more important than the life of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

According to reports, Khashoggi, a journalist working for The Washington Post and living in the United States, was tortured, murdered, and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, on Oct. 2.

However, in a callous disregard for human life, for human decency, and the rule of law, televangelist Pat Robertson, appearing on his Christian television show “The 700 Club,” said America’s relationship with Saudi Arabia is too important to risk over the assassination of a journalist working for The Washington Post.

Republicans can't legitimately WIN Elections! ...and that Silly Cup Nonsense!

Republicans are making it harder to register with Jim Crow Laws, Voter ID, Voter Purges, bogus electronic voting machines, voter intimidation, inadequate polling places, closing polling places with inadequate notice, gerrymandering and much else.

While Conservative Christians Cry About Cups, Starbucks Extends Amazing Benefit to Veterans 

November 10, 2015 By Allen Clifton 

Read more at: http://www.forwardprogressives.com/conservative-christians-cry-cups-starbucks-extends-benefit-veterans/

In what’s become as big of a tradition as Christmas itself, the annual mythological “war on Christmas” is apparently in full-swing among conservatives. I’m sure everyone knows what that means. A few conservatives find a couple of examples where businesses did something that’s not quite “Christmas enough” and the whole conservative world freaks out. It’s as comical as it is ridiculous.

Well, the first big story of this mythological event (for the year) occurred when a ridiculous moron who considers himself some sort of super Christian posted a video slamming the anti-Jesus Starbucks for having solid red cups for Christmas instead of anything more Jesus-y like snowflakes. You know, because when you’re a supposed super Christian, wasting time caring about this bullshit really matters more than, you know, focusing on helping provide for the needy or impoverished children. Needless to say, the Internet went nuts and every social media account I checked was filled with red cup nonsense. Here’s what I think about the whole situation: If you’re so insecure about your beliefs as a Christian, or your faith in general, that the design of a disposable coffee cup upsets you – you really need to reassess your priorities. And if it does bother you that much, then don’t drink Starbucks.

 You’ll only be boycotting a company that just announced it will now extend a completely tuition-free four-year college benefit to the spouse or child of every veteran or active military reservist employed 20 or more hours a week. 

Yes, Starbucks just did that.  Please, tell me again how you’re going to boycott the company over the design of a disposable cup. We all really care.  This is what I mean when I say most conservatives aren’t Christians. While these clowns obsess over the design of a cup, they’re now bashing a company that just gave a remarkable benefit to every single veteran or active member of our military. Tell me, who’s more Christ-like: The company that just extended a benefit that offers a free four-year college education to the spouses and children of veterans and active military personnel. – or –  The people throwing a hissy fit, calling for a boycott of that company because a disposable cup is… red. Not only that, but Starbucks is already half way to its goal of hiring 10,000 veterans or their spouses by 2018.

But… but there’s still that damn red cup! Screw Starbucks!  This is the nonsense that makes it impossible for me to take conservative seriously. I’m a Christian and I have security in my faith. The beliefs or actions of others (especially a color decision on a disposable cup) do not threaten what I believe. I don’t need a Christmas tree on a cup, a nativity scene at City Hall or an employee of a store to tell me “Merry Christmas!” to enjoy the spirit of Christmas and what it means to me. Not to sound rude, but I’m not concerned with what Christmas means to anyone else because it’s not my business. The way someone else celebrates (or doesn’t celebrate) Christmas has absolutely no impact on my faith, my beliefs or how I enjoy the holidays. As for Starbucks, kudos to them for consistently treating our veterans, active members of our military and their families with the respect they deserve. While I know the company isn’t flawless, it does set an example more businesses should follow. So, this holiday season I will be partaking in more Starbucks than usual. Not to “show it to conservatives” (I honestly don’t care what they think about the stupid cup), but because I want to support a company that’s pledged to give our veterans the respect they deserve.

And for those questioning Starbucks' compassion and morality on this day where we honor our vets, one should remember how this corporation is now hiring 10,000 veterans and paying 100% of their college tuition. (since we are speaking of‪#‎ChristianValues‬ in this holiday season.

This ridiculous "controversy" just goes to show that far-right fundamentalists will look for any opportunity to do two things: force their beliefs on others and claim that they are under attack. Read our blog post on the subject: http://bit.ly/1Qsg8oL

Right-wing archbishop hijacking Francis visit

Dear Faithful America member,

Pope Francis is visiting Philadelphia next month for the World Meeting of Families, and the local conservative archbishop is hijacking the event to promote his own right-wing agenda -- by inviting advocates for anti-gay conversion therapy to give speeches, lead workshops, and sell their books and other materials.

The World Meeting of Families is an international Catholic conference, organized by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and more than 2 million people are expected to attend. But instead of including all families, the archdiocese has banned a number of Catholic organizations that minister to LGBT families from participating.

Meanwhile, numerous right-wing extremists have been invited to participate -- even those who promote therapies designed to change people from gay to straight. This cruel practice, rejected by the American Psychological Association and legally banned in four states, tells gay people they are "broken" and in need of "repair," often leading to depression, anxiety, and even suicide.

There is no place for the mental torture of gay people in Pope Francis's vision for a welcoming and compassionate church. We need to demand that Archbishop Chaput stand with Francis and disinvite these extremists immediately.

Tell Philadelphia archbishop: Disinvite advocates for conversion therapy from Pope Francis conference

Thanks!

- Michael
