The Left Smears Moms & Dads

American moms and dads who are concerned about their children's education are under fire by a powerful well-funded leftist organization. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) just put major parental rights groups, including Moms for Liberty and Parents Defending Education, on its "hate map" of what it calls "anti-government extremists." The SPLC is lumping parents who don't want their children exposed to LGBTQ indoctrination to actual haters, including Nazis and the KKK.

Human Rights Campaign Declares ‘National Emergency’

In this week's episode, Gary Bauer provides an entertaining review of the latest press release salvo from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). This neo-Marxist LGBTQ+ organization declared a “national emergency,” due to individual states' recent passage of 75 laws that prohibit the distribution of pornographic content and overt sexualization of children. Apparently, according to Bauer, the HRC believes these laws will cause grave harm to the LGBTQ+ community, and therefore they are both discriminatory and unconstitutional. Bauer says this claim is utter nonsense. To hear Bauer carefully dismantle the HRC’s arguments, we invite you to listen to this informative and eye-opening podcast.

Church Gay Pride Is Church Sin

It's LGBTQ+ pride month and the "celebration" has already resulted in major controversies in classrooms, on athletic playing fields and in major corporations. Sadly, many of these institutions are big businesses and they don't want to alienate the powerful "woke" left. It is heartening to see consumers pushing back at the increasingly aggressive LGBTQ+ agenda.

Indy Gay Carnival – No Parents!

Indianapolis, Indiana, is now another battleground in the LGBTQ+ war on parents.

Teach Your Children Well: The Lessons from the Greatest Generation – Part 2

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer and his guest, Tom Rose, conclude their discussion on the imperative need to teach our children the biblical principles and values that our country was founded upon. Lest we forget that on this very day, in 1944, America and the allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy on what is known as D-Day, to preserve the freedom and liberty we all too often take for granted. We must never forget the brave and selfless soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting against an evil force who sought to conquer and control the world.
