Scott Lively Will Run For Congress To Defend Russia’s Anti-Gay Persecution

Last year, viciously anti-gay activist Scott Lively ran for governor in Massachusetts and even though he only managed to receive 19,000 votes, he still considered his run to be a “HUGE VICTORY.”

Seemingly bolstered by this showing, Lively announced today that he is considering running for Congress in a challenge to Democratic Rep. Richard Neal and intends to do so in order to stand in defense of Russia inside our government.

Lively has long been a vocal supporter of Russia’s harsh anti-gay crackdown, declaring the passage of anti-gay legislation in Russia to be “one of the proudest achievements of my career.

So now he hopes to serve in Congress in order to speak out against the “anti-Russian propaganda” that is “robbing social conservatives of their most valuable potential alliance in the world today”:

There are a number of reasons why I would pursue Congress rather than a state office, but one of them is my interest in foreign policy and concern about the disastrous actions of the Obama administration around the world.  I am posting an article below that closely reflects my views on one aspect of the problem.

I am especially concerned that the Neoconservatives (read Republican liberals) have aligned with the Obama administration re Russia and are jointly waging a campaign of anti-Russian propaganda designed to deceive conservatives into supporting a hot war with Russia.

This is a not only very dangerous game geopolitically, it is robbing social conservatives of their most valuable potential alliance in the world today.  American and Russian conservatives could today be cooperating together to roll back liberalism around the world.  Instead, the cultural Marxists of both major US political parties are trying to drive a wedge between us with the absurd lie that Russia is trying to revive the Soviet Union.

Neither Russia nor its president are without flaws, and it is as impossible to defend them against a campaign of relentless criticism as is is anyone else but Jesus Christ.  That’s the psy-ops mind game the elite media plays: a rhetorical blitzkrieg of misrepresentations, double standards and sophistry.

But if  we ask the simple question “Which countries of the world and their current leadership align most closely to the goals of Biblical Christianity and of ideological conservatism?” it’s a whole different ballgame.

If we rank the current leaders and countries of the world by that standard Putin and Russia rank high on the list — certainly much higher than Obama and his version of America.  Indeed, is there any world leader speaking in defense of persecuted Christians in the Middle East like Putin has?  Is there any other “first world” nation standing up against the homosexual agenda like Russia is doing?
