CLEAR CHANNEL PULLS GUN CONTROL BILLBOARDS AFTER PRO-GUN PROTESTS

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/02/clear-channel-pulls-gun-control-billboards-after-pro-gun-protests/

On April 2, Clear Channel pulled pro-gun control advertisements from
billboards in Massachusetts it had donated to a Stop Handgun Violence
campaign.

One of the billboards promote a “federal assault weapons ban now” and
another displayed a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle standing on end, “with a
white surrender flag in the barrel.”

According The Boston Globe, the caption on the billboard with
Bushmaster said, “We’ not anti-gun, We’re pro-life.” No explanation
was given as to what assault weapons bans and Bushmaster rifles have
to do with handgun violence.

There were 36 gun control billboards statewide, 25 of which had been
donated by Clear Channel.

Just days ago–on March 31–Stop Handgun Violence president John
Rosenthal boasted about the billboards, saying, “It will be huge
coverage. Having billboards all over the state that are literally
positioned to have maximum exposure from the highways is a huge win.”

But that was then, this is now, and the billboards are coming down
amid an overwhelming pro-Second Amendment outcry.

I've heard a story like this before:

http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/BAY-AREA-Anti-abortion-ad-on-BART-angers-2543958.php

Anti-abortion ad on BART angers activists / Many placards have been
defaced or destroyed

By Michael Cabanatuan
Published 4:00 am, Friday, January 13, 2006

"Bay Area abortion-rights activists say a Roman Catholic group's
advertisements on hundreds of BART trains and in scores of stations --
attacking the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade decision and asking
'Abortion: Have we gone too far?' -- have gone too far in a region known
for its progressive politics."

"Many of the ads have been torn down or defaced since the campaign began
three weeks ago."

"'I think every woman has noticed them,' said Suzanne 'Sam' Joi, a
member of Code Pink, a social justice and anti-war group. 'I couldn't
believe BART would allow something like this. Why are they doing this?'"

I don't actually belong to a church and if one did I'd leave. Not
talking about centuries ago but now.

What are you talking about?

http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/indiana-pizzeria-owners-support-rfra-as-it-is

"Concord High School golf coach Jess Dooley was suspended after
tweeting the following message:

"Who's going to Walkerton, IN to burn down #memoriespizza w me? Agree
with #FreedomofReligion bill? That's a lifestyle they CHOOSE.
Ignorant"

Officers said Dooley has since deleted her account, but her case has
been forwarded to the prosecutor's office for possible charges."

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/416289/memories-pizza-just-memory-google-least-ian-tuttle

Since stating this morning that they would not be willing to cater a
same-sex wedding, the owners of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Ind., are
experiencing the famous “tolerance” of the American Left. A search on
Google Maps for pizza parlors in the Walkerton area reveals that
“Memories Pizza” has been replaced:

The description for “Gay Memories Pizza” — which has as its avatar
“Gay Jesus” — links to the website www.gaybearfinder.com, a dating
website for gay men. None of the nine Memories Pizza-associated images
Google Maps provides are related to Memories Pizza. Instead, one finds
“Boycott Indiana”? images and cartoons mocking Christians.

I do not support this law

aren't. Don't forget Obama claims to be Christian. Your hate is

Some do, I agree. But in general, churches are about controlling people.
About power. When was the last time churches were about helping others?

Depends on the Church most places I've lived churches ran the food
banks they do here and they do not preach at the food bank. The
Church in Gainesville ran both a food bank and limited health clinic.
Salvation army helps people with Rent and power bills. So some do
well. Then you have the Benny Hinn types and Calvinist who I agree
are about power first. Not a fan of Southern Baptist either but that
is a personal matter.

Don't hate a whole group based on the actions of a few. You tell
people to not hate a group yourself based on the actions of a few.

I've been told not to judge Muslims by terrorist acts done is Allah's
name.

I think we are talking about two different things. Churches, in what I
was saying, are the synods, the higher powers. Things like the Catholic
Church and Pope, or the groups that make up the Southern Baptists.
Individual churches, run by a priest or father or whatever they are
called in that religion, often do a lot of good.

It is kind of like people in the United States often do a lot of good,
but the country as a whole may do very bad things, like start wars.
