We will make a simple appeal to the thing we most share in common. \u201cOur Bond Is Family!\u201d There\u2019s our pitch and strategy in bumper-sticker simplicity. The typical African American or Hispanic person is generally more Christian and pro-family than the average American&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We should reach out to moderate and conservative-leaning environmentalists as well. Environmentalism is another movement we should rescue from the Marxists and rebuild on a Christian foundation. Our responsibility to be good stewards of the earth is a central tenet of Christianity, and we are certainly much more capable of fulfilling this duty in a balanced manner than the Marxists are. (Not to mention that we would do the world a great service to steer at least some portion of this powerful movement away from power-grabbing globalist goals such as Agenda 21 and \u201cglobal warming\u201d and toward authentic environmental needs.)(!)[Quotation marks his.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My nonexistent god, why did you create such stupid critters? He wants to &#8220;rescue&#8221; the environmental movement by making it ignore the biggest environmental challenge of our time? Is Mr Lively moonlighting as a comedian?<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what self respecting not-nutcase would want anything to have to do with as nasty a character as Lively, I have an &#8220;inconvenient truth&#8221; to share with him:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/the-fix\/wp\/2012\/11\/12\/african-americans-and-latinos-play-big-role-in-gay-marriage-revolution\/\">Minority views on equal rights for gays<\/a> have shifted, just as they have shifted for the rest of the society. (For which, undoubtedly, some credit <a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/2012\/09\/24\/some-black-pastor-including-al-sharpton-support-gay-marriage-obama-effect\/\">should go<\/a> to President Obama.) As much as he is thinking that minorities will be flocking to him upon being told that he is a homophobe, this is likely going to be as silly a prediction as his &#8220;rescue&#8221; of the environmentalist movement.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and he is going to run for governor of Massachusetts. Yes, the first state ever to legalize gay marriage. That Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>Sweet dreams, Scott!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Lively, gay hating pastor and exporter of homophobia to Africa, is lecturing on politics to his religious right cronies.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/nocrossnocrescent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
