HYPOCRITIC CHRISTIAN PEDOPHILIA PROJECTION: “Anti-Gay Pastor Arrested for Child Porn” / The Young Turks / Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Katie Halper, and Jimmy Dore ☮

An anti-gay pastor in Arkansas is in a lot of trouble. He has been arrested on 70 counts of child porn.

“Meet Dave Reynolds. He’s the recently fired pastor of the Cornerstone Bible Fellowship in Sherwood, Arkansas currently facing 70 counts of distributing, possessing or viewing child pornography.

He’s also vehemently anti-gay.

The 40-year-old pastor, who has preached that marriage is between a man and a woman and that all homosexual activity is a sin, was arrested this week after police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that a social media account in Sherwood was storing pages and pages (and pages and pages) of images of kiddy porn.

The account allegedly belonged to Reynolds.

In March, Reynolds informed elders at Cornerstone Bible Fellowship that he was under investigation for child porn possession. When they asked if he had engaged in viewing the material, Reynolds told them he had “not knowingly done so.”

POLITICAL COMMENTARY: “Bernie Sanders Shreds Alan Greenspan to His Smug Face” / Jimmy Dore ☮

Bernie Sanders told Alan Greenspan in 2003 that he is “way out of touch with the needs of the middle class and working families of our country.” Mr. Greenspan responded with characteristic smugness. Five years later, Alan Greenspan admitted he found a “flaw” in his economic model.

BIGOTED CHRISTIAN PRIVILEGE: “Obama’s Two Faces on ‘Religious Liberty'” / Secular Talk / Kyle Kulinski ☮

The Obama administration has roundly criticized states such as North Carolina and Mississippi for passing laws that allow discrimination in the name of religious freedom. But at the same time, the administration has left in place a 2007 memo from the Bush White House that allows religious charities with federal contracts to discriminate in hiring for federally funded programs.

POLITICAL COMMENTARY: “Is Donald Trump the Duck Dynasty Version of Reagan?” / The Big Picture RT / Thom Hartmann

The most popular take on Donald Trump is that we’ve never seen anything like him before. But here’s the thing: We have seen something like Trump before — we saw it with Ronald Reagan. Now, there are obviously some big surface-level differences between Reagan and Trump. Reagan’s public persona was cool, calm, and collected; Trump’s is well, the exact opposite. Reagan had years of political experience before he ran for president; Trump has none. Reagan also was also deeply religious, or at least “spiritual” (he didn’t go to church); Trump, I don’t think, has ever had a spiritual thought in his life. But if you ignore those obvious differences and focus on how Trump is running and framing his campaign, you’ll see that he’s doing the exact same thing Reagan did, only in a style more appropriate for today.
