The Focus on the Family sign in Colorado Springs was targeted by vandals. This happened at the church headquarters less than a week after the deadly shooting at Club Q where five people were killed and more than a dozen others injured...............................................


..........The organization has been vocal about what they consider to be traditional family values and has spoken out about adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression to nondiscrimination laws. 

Immediately following the shooting, Focus on the Family President Jim Daly told CBS News Colorado that he mourned the tragedy and that the organization wanted to make it clear it stands against hate.

We know the Right will use this loudly claim how destructive and violent the Left is.


I don't have answers but I think my point is valid.

Did the shooter go there?

What is the connection other than the vile stench of hate rising from the right wing?

a legitimate political entity. It is part of a larger group of such agencies who are funded and organized to promote the establishment of theocratic rule in the US.

And spare me any "We shouldn't sink to their level" scolding, OK? Considering the hateful damage that Focus On The Family has done to this country, they're getting off easy with just some minor vandalism.

Speaks out when paint is used to paint Swastikas on headstones?

If not, what's their problem?
