Christian-Hating Liberal Fascists Have Once Again Demonstrated Their ‘Tolerance’

In a country of filth, the only thing you can’t be is pro-life and pro-marriage.

Written by Matt Walsh | Wednesday, May 14, 2014

The point is, you turn on the TV or crank up the Pandora and you’re going to be watching or listening to a stream of deviants, junkies, rapists, pedophiles, adulterers, and crooks, yet we don’t bat an eye until someone quotes the Bible or endorses traditional marriage. Amidst a sea of perversity and violence, the only thing the fascists seek to punish is the reasonable expression of Christian beliefs.

 

They’re at it again.

The Fascist assault on speech continues.

This time, HGTV has decided to drop a planned reality show starring two brothers named Jason and David Benham. The show would have centered around the Benhams fixing up dilapidated houses for families in need. A worthy cause, a wholesome idea, a show that might do some good in the world. But it had to be shutdown because deep, dark secrets have been revealed about the dastardly Benham brothers.

What are those secrets?

Well, it isn’t really a secret at all – the Benham brothers are outspoken Christians.

To give you an idea of some of the ‘horrible’ things these men have said, here’s an excerpt from a radio interview with David Benham:

“We don’t realize that, okay, if 87 percent of Americans are Christians and yet we have abortion on demand, we have no-fault divorce, we have pornography and perversion, we have a homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation, we have adultery. We even have allowed demonic ideologies to take our universities and our public school systems while the church sits silent and just builds big churches.”

Not only is he 100 percent correct in everything that he said, but he helpfully exposed one of the great ironies of our time: if you mention the ‘gay agenda,’ the gay agenda will prove there is no gay agenda by having you fired for mentioning the gay agenda.

But HGTV knew about the Benham’s views when they were hired. HGTV hired outspoken Christians, and then fired outspoken Christians when a liberal blog said, “hey, those guys are outspoken Christians, please fire them because we’re spineless, malingering wimps and their opinions make us feel all sad and icky inside.”

The network happily and immediately complied.

This is the same channel that thinks it’s appropriate to use an American flag as a tablecloth, but apparently they draw the line of decency at faithful Christians helping people fix their houses.

The Benham Brothers are, by all appearances, good and decent men. They are adamantly pro-life, they are open about their faith, and they hold the same view of marriage that the majority of human civilization holds and has held throughout history. Incidentally, that’s even the same view that Barack Obama professed, up until a couple of years ago, when he suddenly changed his mind because he wanted GLAAD to pat him on his head and give him a cookie.

You’ll hear the media try to spin this as a decision made after ‘fan backlash.’ But no such backlash existed. This show hadn’t even aired yet. Unless you are a very dedicated viewer of Home and Garden network, you probably aren’t closely tracking what pilots they plan to launch in 5 month. The 17 fans of HGTV didn’t even have an opportunity to be upset about a show where Christian men build houses for poor people. No, this ‘backlash’ came mostly from one liberal, anti-free speech site called “Right Wing Watch.” I won’t link to it here. I know they would love to have some of my web traffic, but I’d rather not oblige.

Suffice it to say that a handful of extreme leftwing propaganda sites — ones that nobody reads and nobody cares about — put pressure on HGTV to cancel a show because the hosts of the show are Christian. HGTV gave into their demands without even the slightest hesitation.

This is how it works now.
