And as Mr. Romney and many others understand, an American republic under such circumstances has not long to survive.

You Must Remain Trapped In Your Lifestyle
Two new quite ominous rulings in the US and the UK have demonstrated once again that the homosexual mafia will use the heavy hand of the law to enforce their iron-clad will on everyone, whether they like it or not. Until everyone submits to their agenda, they will not stop the war they have declared against faith, family and freedom.

To ensure that everyone bows down before their militant social engineering, they will oppose anyone and anything that gets in their way. And like a trusty lapdog, they have the secular state happily coming along to do their bidding. All over the West laws are being passed which grant special rights to homosexuals while taking away rights from everyone else...

 German Judge: Homeschooling “Damages” Kids; Parents Lose Custody of Children for Sake of “Integration”
Arguing that homeschooling damages children and is an abuse of parental authority, a German district court in Darmstadt transferred the custody rights of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich’s four children to the Jugendamt, Germany’s child protective agency.

Judge Markus Malkmus followed the case law of the two high court cases on the subject of homeschooling, Konrad and Paul Plett. The district court ruled that the general public has an interest in counteracting the development of parallel societies and that religious or ethnic minorities must be “integrated” through schools. The judge also stated that the academic competency of the children was irrelevant because it is the state’s responsibility to insure that children are socialized in state-approved public or private schools...
