We shared last year that New York would be the epicenter of all gay issues because their gay marriage law intentionally demands 49 state reciprocity in recognizing legal marriage.

The latest victory claimed by the Gay Mafia comes as a result of a set up. Two gay advocates recorded a phone conversation with a farmer where they asked permission for a lesbian wedding, when the farmer politely declined – – the civil rights commission complaint was immediately filed and the subsequent lawsuits began. Poor farmers didn’t stand a chance….

The phone call at 8:30 p.m. seemed routine for Cynthia and Robert Gifford—a bride-to-be inquiring about holding a wedding at their home, Liberty Ridge Farm in upstate New York.
Then Cynthia Gifford realized the caller wanted to book their family farm near the village of Schaghticoke for a same-sex wedding. She politely declined. (more…)

Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron does an effective job describing the danger of “extremism“, not just “violent extremism“, all extremism. (Cameron Speech Here)
However, anyone interested in actually following, researching and analyzing international action against radical Islamist extremism, must also note that Egypt’s President Fatah El-Sisi is about two years ahead in confronting the extremist ideology.

Almost everything both Obama and Cameron have stated in the past month can be viewed curiously against their unwillingness to hold such public views while El-Sisi was pushing back against extremism, and doing something about it.

~ At the root of all extremism lies the fertilizer of hatred ~

Hatred is an outcome of evil manifested.   Readers and visitors to the Treehouse community know full well we have watched Egypt intently. We continue to share that no international leader has done more to confront ALL the tentacles of radicalism than Fattah El-Sisi.
Yet he has also been the recipient of marginalization – at best, from both Obama and Cameron; and significant western political admonishment.   Through the past two years Sisi has consistently carried out a challenging mission to provide secular stability not only to Egypt, but as a direct consequence, also to the entire region.

I would like to thank the only other website/blog -I have found- wise enough to connect the dots, and brave enough to talk about them.
Before doing so I must share a daily prayer we have repeated for two years:

Father please afford Your strength and protection; guide our naked journey; sharpen our insight; strengthen our influence; accept our willingness; be confident in our faith; afford us the ability of unguarded vision; and deliver us to the highest place where we may look over the horizon.
Guide us there to see, and remove our fear and nervousness so that we may accept and bear witness – Amen.

From a position of faith we have traced all the connections we can find, and we are now beginning to notice we are not alone.
There are others who have followed their own journey, from separate directions, and are destined to arrive at the same overlook.

(Via Clash Daily) Apollos Hester plays for the East View High School Patriots in Georgetown, Texas. Down 28 – 14 at halftime against their opponent, Vandergrift, on Friday, the Patriots mounted a comeback and won 42-41. After the game, Hester was interviewed by Lauren Mickler of Time Warner Cable Sports. She asked, “What were you guys able to do to come back and win this thing?”
From there, Hester’s infectious motivational speaking took over in a way that makes him appear to be more wise beyond his years. This young man will go far in life.

A “Counter Sink” is a common method in manufacturing to allow the head of a screw, to sit below the surface of the surrounding material. This Politico interview is nothing but a veiled attempt to counter sink the head, Lois Lerner, below the controversy.

Politico interviews the primary corruptocrat within the IRS, Lois Lerner, for two hours. What they publish, as a result of that interview, is essentially the Wikipedia reference for the IRS scandal itself.

Fluff-N-Nutter.

Politico – […] Lois Lerner is toxic — and she knows it. But she refuses to recede into anonymity or beg for forgiveness for her role in the IRS tea party-targeting scandal. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” Lerner said in her first press interview since the scandal broke 16 months ago. “I’m proud of my career and the job I did for this country.”

[…] “Regardless of whatever else happens, I know I did the best I could under the circumstances and am not sorry for anything I did,” the 63-year-old said.

Flanked by her husband and two personal attorneys Lois Lerner is interviewed by Politico. The first opportunity for a question was obviously a ‘swing and a miss’, wiffle.
If she did nothing wrong, then why exactly does she believe she is in the current position? What exactly are these “circumstances” she found herself in? Nah, those questions too deep or something.

“Oohrah! This video of Marines singing is going to drive the secular humanists INSANE.” –-Alan West

To anyone out there who may have written California off as a lost cause,  behold this group of young Marines in their monthly Faith Warrior service at the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California.   It’s been shared nearly 400,000 times since it first debuted on Merrie Pardee Baldwin’s Facebook last September 15th.  Baldwin wrote, “Participatory worship.  I love how excited the men get to sing this song and the camaraderie.”

DAYS OF ELIJAH

(Some of the lyrics include:)

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord, yeah
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses
Righteousness being restored

These are the days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!

Even a broken clock….

I love the part where Limo-liberal Charlie Rose says Muslim Women love to dress up as beekeepers…. That stuff cracks me up every time.

An Open Letter To Visitors, any Visitors

Perhaps it is time to revisit the modern word “objective”, where it is phrased around a request by readers to soften the discussion pages within our research and discussion blog.
Lately several newer visitors have stated via twitter, email, or direct comments something to the extent they are disconcerted by the tone of our delivery as we present the factual research behind the headlines.
This website is aptly named “The Last Refuge” (aka the conservative treehouse) for a very specific reason. A long explanation would be something akin to: Eventually everyone is going to have to reconcile the obvious which confronts them; and when they do the paradigms of their life experience will leave them no-place of traditional intellectual comfort – we shall provide the venue to recover.
A shorter version would be: we, as a brave and proud constitutional republic, are surrounded by stupid – and everyone needs an Alamo where everything is reconciled for what it is, not what we wish it to be.
Here, at The Last Refuge, stupid is identified as, well, stupid – Moonbat stupid.
We, our association, are openly willing to be challenged on ideas, concepts, beliefs and opinions derived therein, as we each seek to understand the events of the day.
However, there comes a point where “objectivity”, for the sake of polite conversation, is futile.
Was Harry Reid and his like-minded Democrats being “objective”, and analyzing various opinions of consequence, when they constructed Obamacare? At 1:30am, on Christmas eve 2009, to force a vote before allowing the opposition to go home?
Was Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi being objective when they refused to allow a single opposition amendment to their disastrous plan?  Which, as you are aware, will now financially cripple working families with additional taxes.
Was President Obama being “objective” when he said: …”if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period”?
Is Al Gore “objective” when it comes to various opinions and considerations for “man made global warming”?
In order for a person to state yes to the above questions, they would have to be of the same cognition that proclaim: “half of something you just tripled is less” as they discuss the deficit.
Pragmatism is only possible absent of blind ideologues.   2014’s democrats are all blind ideologues. (more…)

Kudo’s to Ted Cruz who stood on principle and boldly walked off stage when the audience openly reflected their anti-Semitism.  Cruz was the Key Note speaker. 

[…] Cruz, the keynote speaker at the sold-out D.C. dinner gala for the recently-founded non-profit In Defense of Christians, began by saying that “tonight, we are all united in defense of Christians. Tonight, we are all united in defense of Jews. Tonight, we are all united in defense of people of good faith, who are standing together against those who would persecute and murder those who dare disagree with their religious teachings.”
Cruz was not reading from a teleprompter, nor did he appear to be reading from notes.

Rochester Michigan is located North of Detroit. I wonder who the school worried would be “offended”?

MICHIGAN – A U.S. Army officer from Rochester, Michigan, was denied entry into his daughter’s high school by four members of its security staff, told that his uniform might “offend” some students.

“Before he was allowed in, the security guard stopped him and said sorry you’re not allowed in the school. Security told him men and women in uniform weren’t allowed because it may offend another student,” Lt. Col. Sherwood Baker’s wife, Rachel, told a local Fox affiliate.
Col. Baker was was on his way to see his daughter’s counselor regarding her class schedule when the incident occurred.
“I can’t even believe they would think like that after all [soldiers] do for our country,” Jim Reynolds, a local resident, told the station. (read more)
