NC Family Policy Council

The truth about the marriage amendment

On two consecutive days after the 9/11 anniversary, North Carolina Republicans doubled-down to assault freedom in America. It is good to know we can always count on Speaker Tillis to tell the truth. Butt-boy Berger, of course, is still in hiding.



Lets do sex education RIGHT in North Carolina, aka don't listen to the NC Family Colicy council

Last June the Healthy Youth Act passed in North Carolina, finally ending 10 years of harmful abstinence-only sex education. The new bill is not perfect, but it says that schools must teach about abstinence and all FDA methods of birth control. This is a major step foreword for young people in NC, and hopefully we will see a decline in teen pregnancy rates after tens start receiving this comprehensive information. 

One man. One woman. Thats marriage?

One man. One woman. That’s marriage.

This is the tagline of the conservative North Carolina organization called NC4marrige. They are trying to pass the Defense of Marriage Act, which would protect marriage under the state constitution, making it harder to legalize same-sex marriage in the future. North Carolina is the only southern state that doesn’t have a constitutional same-sex marriage ban in place, which makes it a target for conservative activists and same-sex marriage advocates alike. Basically, these groups tell their supporters that North Carolina could become the next state to legalize gay marriage unless it becomes banned under the constitution.

Advocates for Youth opposes the bill, saying:

Pray tell

In my spare time, I frequent many websites that explore the lines between faith and politics. Today at Street Prophets, I came across a question that has been on my mind lately. How to Pray for Conservative Demagogues?

Republicans and gay marriage

I don't give much credence to members of one party telling members of another party what they should or shouldn't do to be successful. The advice is always self-serving. That said, I couldn't help thinking that this news about a top GOP consultant could reshape the canyon between the two major parties.

About that gay thing

Dear NC Family Policy Council.

It must be hard seeing your dream slip away. Watching an agenda crumble in the face of a new generation. Consider this from the Iowa State Senate majority leader.

Dear NC Family Policy Council

Just look at the love you hate.

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

Right-to-life agenda setting

Knocked back on their heels by the sweeping victory of sanity last November, the shrinking radical right is regrouping, sizing up the enemy, picking and choosing their battles with the subtlety of a chain saw. Abortion rights will be one front on which we'll witness a full-fledged assault.  It has already begun.

Here's how it works.

  1. Assert that the evil majority wants nothing less than zero restrictions on abortion. Charge them with advocating infanticide.
  2. Link that charge directly to President Obama, and by extension, the people he'll nominate for the US Supreme Court

The Seventh Commandment Brigade

Because the NC Family Policy is so concerned about defending marriage, I'm going to help start a new allied group (like the good folks at www.returnamerica.org).

It's time for.....THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT BRIGADE
