1. GOP Rips ‘Imperial’ Supreme Court for ‘Assault’ on Christianity

The Republican reaction to the Supreme Court legalizing gay marraige across the nation was instant and heated. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said the ruling “tramples on states’ rights” and will “pave way for an all-out assault against the religious freedoms of Christians.” Rick Santorum tweeted that five “unelected judges redefined the foundational unit of society.” Mike Huckabee: “I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch.”

2. Franklin Graham Warns Of Christian Persecution, Because The Gays

After President Obama tweeted #LoveWins following the Supreme Court decision that mandates marriage equality in all fifty states, Franklin Graham bemoaned it for creating new grounds for discrimination against churches. Todd Starnes piles on more paranoia, reminding him that many evangelicals have declared this open season on Christians.

-snip-

Starnes proclaims that the Supreme Court's decision means gay rights trump religious liberty. You think the cultural purging of the Southern States has been breathtaking, wait until you see what the activists are about to unleash on American Christians.

The sheer number of lawsuits and hate-crime charges will be staggering, he predicts. He reduces the comparison of marriage equality and traditional marriage to evil versus good. That's because human dignity is always trumped by a vengeful and hateful god, Starnes is certain of that.
