Alleged sex trafficker Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who’s never worn a military uniform, attempted to blast Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, today on Capitol Hill saying the military is too “woke.” But General Milley does not suffer fools lightly: “I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist. So what is wrong with understanding…the country which we are here to defend?” But wait! There’s more! “And I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, non-commissioned officers of being, quote, ‘woke’ or something else, because we’re studying some theories that are out there.”

Bryan Fischer’s daily dose of fear mongering featuring Queen Elizabeth II

If you ever needed a good example of “gay fear mongering” from folks like Bryan Fischer, this is it.

The above was tweeted by the notorious Mr. Fischer in reference to Queen Elizabeth II’s plans to sign a document in public tomorrow called the “21st Century Commonwealth Magna Carta,” 

One particular line in this document is making headlines around the world because people have interpreted it as the first time Queen Elizabeth will openly support gay rights in her 61-year reign.  While the document alludes to LGBT discrimination, it doesn’t actually mention gays or lesbians.

Via the Daily Mail:

The charter, dubbed a ‘21st Century Commonwealth Magna Carta’ declares: ‘We are implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination, whether rooted in gender, race, colour, creed, political belief or other grounds.’ The ‘other grounds’ is intended to refer to sexuality – but specific reference to ‘gays and lesbians’ was omitted in deference to Commonwealth countries with draconian anti-gay laws. Sources close to the Royal Household said she is aware of the implications of the charter’s implicit support of gay rights and commitment to gender equality.

While I applaud the Queen for a welcome step forward, let’s go back to Mr. Fischer’s tweet.

“Active and aggressive discrimination against Christians…”  Now does “whether rooted in gender, race, color, creed, political belief or other grounds” sound like “active and aggressive” Christian discrimination?

And btw – homosexuality remains illegal in 41 of the 54 Commonwealth nations.

This is how these clowns operate.  Waving red flags and stirring a pot that isn’t even on simmer.

Sad, Mr. Fisher, sad…
