The Intolerant Left
Famed New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees ([link removed]) is under attack by the radical left and its media allies. Why is Brees suddenly the subject of so much attention?
Did he protest the national anthem? No. Did he tweet something nasty about Donald Trump? No. For those things, he would be applauded by our cultural elites.
No, Brees's sin was recording a brief video encouraging kids to take their Bibles to school, encouraging them to "live out your faith . . . and share God's love with friends." Oh, the horror!
The video was produced by our friends at Focus on the Family. And for that Brees is being accused of promoting hate and being "anti-LGBT." Nothing could be further from the truth -- about either Drew Brees ([link removed]) or Focus on the Family.
I still look back fondly on my years with Focus on the Family and my relationship with Dr. James Dobson. It was Dr. Dobson who appointed me as president of the Family Research Council after I left the Reagan Administration.
The overwhelming majority of Focus's work is helping to keep marriages and families intact because that is what we know is best for children. Unlike the left, Focus isn't trying to force its values on anyone else. They don't force anyone to follow their advice. They offer it freely to anyone who seeks it.
The attack on Brees is just the latest indication of the left's growing intolerance for men and women of faith. It is a reminder of what is at stake in the culture war raging over the values we will pass on to our children and grandchildren.
More Left-wing Nonsense
* The Real Salt Lake ([link removed]) soccer team, part of Major League Soccer and the United States Soccer Federation, recently told two fans to stop waving the Betsy Ross flag or they would be ejected from the game. The team claimed the flag was a "symbol for hate groups." Well, somebody should have told Barack Obama ([link removed]) that.
* As this week's news made clear, the left is obsessed with climate change. What's the left's other great obsession? Russia. Well, guess what? They're linked. ([link removed]) Russia (and China too) would love to see the U.S. adopt policies that destroy our energy industry and cripple our military. It seems many on the left may be colluding with Russia. Perhaps another special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate climate change collusion.
Values Voter Summit
Join me in our nation's capital, October 11th - 13th, for the 2019 Values Voter Summit ([link removed]) .
Vice President Mike Pence said, "The Values Voter Summit [is] the greatest gathering of conservative pro-family Americans in the nation." And he is absolutely right!
That's why American Values has been a proud sponsor of the Summit every year.
As always, this year's Summit will feature an incredible lineup of top government officials, opinion makers and faith leaders.
There will be educational and informative breakout sessions, as well as events honoring those who have made significant contributions to the conservative movement.
American Values will be hosting a special luncheon Saturday, October 12th.
Register now at valuesvotersummit.org ([link removed]) .
I look forward to seeing you there!
