They also throw a hissy temper tantrum loaded with slanderous lies when someone decides to give homosexuals the rights they deserve, all the while preaching they are for God, and family. Who actually destroys families? Who turns families against each other through their lies? Who is one of the largest reasons that people bully others to the point of suicide? Who is trying to slander, defame, abuse, and force apart honest hard working kind, caring and loving couples? Who is preventing those couples from giving a child who has no life, who barely eats a loving, well fed, and loving home, to loving people? Afa, and others like them. For families? Pfft! What a joke. They only wish to destroy what makes this world so wonderful, love. They lower marriage and relationships to simply a means to produce kids. These lunatic religiofascists turn more people against God than anyone. Once again the mighty afa boo hoos because they don’t get their way.

God loves ALL of his children and judges us all by our actions and the love in our hearts for our fellow human.

It's nice to know there are a few people that have the courage to stand up to these bullying fanatics that claim to represent Christian values, when they actually represent the very opposite of what Christ was trying to convey to us. Although I am a 67-year-old woman that is still workking and not in the clas of big investors, I would like to subscribe to Morningstar as a way of supporting a paper with integrity and courage! Where do I sing up? Hooray for Morningstar and Mr. Mansueto!!

Sam Sloan was the victim of an 18-month smear campaign in which he was relentlessly called a child molester, while they simultaneously impersonated him on the web.

AFA is not just your run of the mill hate group. It has a net worth of $32,165,821 -- 100% of which it obtained by duping feeble-minded people out of their hard earned dough. And to say Christians are the only group that doesn't have First Amendment rights or that Christians have trouble getting their message out is absurd. Christian politicians control the White House and they controlled the House and the Senate for most of the previous 12 years. Christians have at least two cable channels that do Christian programming 24/7. Christians dominate talk radio as well as the Fox News Channel. Christians sell millions of books to each other, and they own and operate facilities tax free -- churches -- in every neighborhood of every town in America. They can meet in these facilities and talk about Christianity all day and all night if they so choose. That's a pretty good soap box for evangelicals which make up 10 percent of the population. A true Christian of the old school, ie. non-political, would look at the fortune controlled by AFA and wonder how many people could housed, clothed and fed for the $32 million that AFA will waste on spreading hatred and intolerance in Christ's name.

The AFA has a history of distortion and intimidation, and if you do a search on Pensito Review, you'll see we have been exposing the Wildmons for the hypocrites and liars they are for years. And we'll continue to do so, until people wise up to their radical, intolerant un-Christian agenda.

Oh, poor Christians. Maybe someday there will be a Christian in the White House! “Christians are the only group in America that doesn’t enjoy free speech protections”

Nowhere in the AFA missive did I see a lie on their part. Tim Wildmon was acting on information he got from Faith Financial Planners. Why would he make this up on his own? There's no motivation for AFA to lie. All AFA is trying to do is protect Christians against discrimination. Christians are the only group in America that doesn't enjoy free speech protections. I am still not convinced by Morningstar's response. I believe their rejection of the ad was totally based on someone being afraid of promulgation of a Christian message. You have to ask yourself: Why does Christ cause such a commotion 2000 years after His life on earth? There must be something to it...
