“Assembly Bill 2943 will threaten the freedom of religion and First Amendment rights of Christians in California. Using the state’s ‘consumer fraud statute’ to restrict religious freedom and free speech, the bill seeks to ban sales of the Bible because it includes verses that fall outside what Gov. Brown considers ‘acceptable teaching’ on sexuality issues… The controversial bill… will also ban any form of speech or written material that promotes traditional Christian views on marriage and sexuality…” – Baxter Dmitry, “California Gov.

Comedy Central’s foul-mouthed Jake Weisman and Christianity
Thursday, February 22nd, 2018Several items – bigotry, vulgarity, and foul language alert.
“(Comedy Central executive Jake Weisman’s) incendiary comment was in response to a news release I wrote about the February 14th episode of ‘Corporate’… A woman dressed like a nun was shown seductively sucking a cross-shaped popsicle. She remarked, ‘My favorite flavor – the blood of Christ.’ It doesn’t get much dirtier than this… While Hollywood was not always a bastion of anti-Catholicism, in the past half-century it has certainly evolved into one. Let’s be honest: If Jews were portrayed the way Hollywood portrays Catholics, it would be labeled the premier anti-Semitic industry in America.” (Emphasis added) – Bill Donohue, “Comedy Central exec threatens church” – Catholic League, Feb. 16th, 2018.

Striking the emblems of Christmas does not guarantee anyone’s respect, does not produce a welcoming and inclusive school and society, but fosters intolerance towards our culture, our customs, our laws and our traditions. We firmly believe that our traditions must be respected.” – Milan politician Samuele Piscina, quoted by Soeren Kern in “Europe: The Islamization of Christmas” – Gatestone Institute, Dec. 24th, 2017.
