Robertson on the how the presence of CBN is saving Christians from suffering the same fate of the Jews killed in the Holocaust:

"We covered that homosexual march in Washington. We showed some of the things they're doing. We showed sado-masochists whipping one another. We showed people wandering around in chains and in bondage. We showed lesbians simulating sex acts with one another going down the street. The media didn't show one bit of that in the other media. Not any of it, because that points to homosexuality in a bad light. We showed them the way they were. We didn't slant it, we showed what they were doing out there on the Mall. The other didn't do it. But if you get a group of Christians on the Mall, what'll they do? They'll get someone out there who seems to be grotesque in their minds, and they'll put them on the front page and they'll say, "that is your representative fundamentalist." We've seen it over and over and over again. We've seen it repeatedly. I know what they do, and I know their game. Nevertheless, we are putting a spotlight out there that is very important. If there had been an alternate media in Nazi Germany, if there had been The 700 Club, or the Rush Limbaughs, and all the radio broadcasts, and some of the Internet pages, and the fax networks, and the things like that; then Goebbel's would never have been able to succeed in his vicious attempts to marginalize the Jews and other people who didn't agree with Adolph Hitler. But there wasn't an alternate

232 media, there was a controlled media; and the controlled media was filled with propaganda and hatred. We don't hate people, we love people."

The redefinition of marriage to include homosexual marriages, gay and lesbians now in a marriage relationship, will not only alter our culture outside our public schools, but will go right inside our public schools ... Once, in fact it is authorized, a school teacher would be violating law to say that a homosexual marriage is not the same validity or morality as a heterosexual marriage. That's the difficulty we face as a people."

Sekulow: "There is nothing in that opinion, as bad as it is, as lousy as this opinion is; there is nothing in that opinion that requires us to surrender our faith in practice. What that means is that when we are in our workplace, our businesses, whatever it might be, we don't have to do this if it violates our conscience .. .It's a culture war. And in the culture war, the majority of the Supreme Court took the position that homosexual conduct is given special status. What I hope the black community does is realize what they've done here. What has happened is, those that are involved in the "struggle" for gay and lesbian rights, and they've got any rights like any other American citizen, have now been equated with racial minorities. All the problems that the racial minorities had - lack of education, disenfranchised from the political system, which they really were - now they're saying homosexuals are the same thing, but that's not factually true."

Robertson: "Not at all. They're highly educated and very wealthy. Most of them, on average, their income is way above. Jay, you know, there was one thing that occurred to me. We had a fight over the Equal Rights Amendment. The thing about the Equal Rights Amendment that was so repugnant to people, was that it said that nobody would be discriminated against because of sex, and it was clear that that was including homosexuality, and the people overwhelmingly, I shouldn't say overwhelmingly, but the amendment was defeated, it was not ratified, the American people spoke on that, they did not want that in the Constitution."

Sekulow and Robertson agreed that the discussions in Congress about this decision should lead to a Constitutional Amendment that protects the American family. No specifics on that amendment were mentioned.

Keith Fournier joins Sekulow to comment on yesterday's Supreme Court decision and the Defense of Marriage Act.

Fournier: "We have to keep a long term perspective here. This isn't the first time in history that the Christian Church has had to deal with homosexuality, sexual appetites gone awry, and efforts by people like practicing homosexuals to have a government agency declare their activity as the moral equivalent of a two-parent, marriage-bound family .. .in the end, our position will prevail, because homosexuality is not only wrong, not only immoral, but it's empty, and it leads to a life of darkness."

Sekulow announced a victory in a case where the ACLJ fought for the right of student led Bible clubs to meet on school property. The court said that the club requirement that all leaders of the club be Christian, was discriminatory. The ACLJ made progress on the case by using the Equal Access Act decisions to illustrate its point. U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has found for the ACLJ. They can meet and they can require that leaders be Christian.

Reed: "The left is convinced that we're trying to take over government and use it to impose our theology, some of our dear mutual on the right think that I may not be sufficiently hardcore, and all I can say to that is that if I've now become a moderate, then Republican Party has moved even further to the right than I thought."

"My argument is that the collapse of liberalism under Bill Clinton is because it has turned its back on that religious heritage, and that the rise of the right is because it is no longer fueled by a sort of accounting or boo keeper's desire to balance the budget, it is fueled by a sense of right and wrong, and by morality and immorality; and I argue that that's why the future belongs to us and not the left."
