WASHINGTON, D.C. – Earlier today, Floyd Lee Corkins, II, pleaded guilty to three charges including a District of Columbia charge of committing an act of terrorism.” The charges stem from the August 15, 2012 shooting at the Family Research Council’s headquarters.
Today’s hearing also revealed that in the interview with the FBI right after the shooting, the shooter admitted his guilt, which was captured on video. He said he intended to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-Fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.” The prosecutor said they reviewed the family computer and found that he identified his targets on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s web site.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins offered the following reaction:
“The day after Floyd Corkins came into the FRC headquarter and opened fire wounding one of our team members, I stated that while Corkins was responsible for the shooting, he had been given a license to perpetrate this act of violence by groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center which has systematically and recklessly labeled every organization with which they disagree as a ‘hate group.’
“Today both assertions were validated in court as Corkins plead guilty to multiple criminal charges, including terrorism.
“The Southern Poverty Law Center can no longer say that it is not a source for those bent on committing acts of violence. Only by ending its hate labeling practices will the SPLC send a message that it no longer wishes to be a source for those who would commit acts of violence that are only designed to intimidate and silence Christians and others who support natural marriage and traditional morality.
“Once again, I call on the SPLC to put an immediate stop to its practice of labeling organizations that oppose their promotion of homosexuality.
“Whether the SPLC continues to demonize those who hold to biblical morality or not, the Family Research Council will remain unequivocally committed to our mission of advancing faith, family and freedom,” concluded Perkins.

History repeats itself
This is a very interesting and telling interview from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) of IRS Commissioner Steven Miller over the Obama Administration scandal involving IRS harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups. I don't know why Kelly isn't trying to extend an olive branch. Why isn't he trying to find common ground? Why isn't he trying to persuade this guy to see things his way? Why is he being so mean?
The front: homosexual marriage. The end: schoolchildren. This week, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton (labeled one of America’s worst senators by TIME) signed homosexual marriage legislation into un-law after the un-lawful House and Senate approved it. In concert these branches of the Minnesota government have proven themselves to be in defiance against the laws of Nature and Nature’s God, as found in the Declaration of Independence.
Sarah Hall Ingram, the woman in charge of the IRS during it's high period of harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups, is now going to be running ObamaCare. Joseph Grant, the IRS commissioner who became the fall guy for the Obama Administration in this scandal, is just a patsy. He was going to be done with the job in less than a month anyway, and he wasn't in charge during the time when the IRS was busy muzzling Tea Party groups.
“We were simply doing what our bosses ordered.” So say the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees in Cincinnati who were charged with targeting tea party and other conservative groups with improper and invasive scrutiny, according a Fox19 in Cincinnati exclusive report on May 15. If true, this seemingly contradicts a Treasury Inspector General report on the matter released earlier that day.
Hillary Clinton has successfully regained popularity (and a following) after doing or saying something totally stupid -- like the "under sniper-fire lie" during the campaign. However, I'm betting it is not going to be so easy for Obama and his friends to come out of the present scandals that, among many things, involve lies told to the American people.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
