Today's 'Tolerance:' I Don't Remember a Merit Badge For This [EDITORIAL CARTOON]

"Those promoting the agenda to change what the Boy Scouts have always been won't rest until there is complete acceptance of any sexual preference for both leaders and members. With its decision today, BSA has rejected its freedom to promote and practice the values that have served to shape our nation's boys into leaders for the last century." - David Cortman, Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel

Hollywood (and Iron Man) Catching Up With End Times?

Funny how a celebrity's every move is tracked, broadcast, tweeted, instagramed, you-tubed, vined, re-tracked, re-broadcast, re-tweeted... and repeat!

Iron Man series star Robert Downey Jr. said two words in an interview with Jon Stewart: "Chuck Missler." The End Times Prophecy news took the opportunity to speculate that Downey follows Missler's biblical teachings closely... and I wrote about it!

For once, I don't mind a little Christian TMZ-ing!

Rich, Middle-aged Chick-fil-A Loving Men Unite on #Benghazi - Demographics Pro

Twitter via Alex Wire

This from the Washington Post Live Blog on Benghazi hearings:

Who’s tweeting about Benghazi? Rich, middle-aged men and Chick-fil-A lovers

Thousands of people have tweeted on the #Benghazi hashtag since the September attack, helping disseminate, and even steer, the divisive political narrative of what happened that night.

Thanks to Demographics Pro, a Twitter analysis firm, we have some vague idea of who’s tweeting the most: According to their report, #Benghazi tweeters are 58.3% male, with an average age of 52.6 years and a median income of $61,800 (“within the top 20 percent of overall Twitter distribution,” the report adds).

The tweeters are also overwhelmingly white and married, according to Demographics Pro; they also like Chick-fil-A and Walmart — two brands most often associated with conservatives. FULL POST

Tim Tebow Beat: Fan Outlines Broncos, Jets Conspiracy Theory

Did a former Denver Broncos fan sum up the potentially short-lived career of quarterback Tim Tebow more succinctly than any ESPN sports analyst has so far?

THE TEBOW BEAT

"What did Tim Tebow do wrong – nothing," writes Nancy Ickes in her recently published letter to the Colorado Springs newspaper The Gazette.

Despite Ickes emphatically stating that Tebow was not to blame for his primarily bench-warming role on the New York Jets, the former Jets backup to Mark Sanchez was cut by the team last week and is now a free agent.

Even with his recent setback, Tebow remains a popular athlete and was selected as America's most influential athlete, according to a survey released by Forbes.com on Monday. Tebow, who often talked about God during post-game interviews in the locker room, has become a popular guest speaker at churches, Christian events and leadership conferences.

Tebow is a good guy but I guess in the football game if you cheat on your wife or are in trouble with the law, that is when you are a 'good ' football player! - Nancy Ickes FULL POST
