David and Jason Benham, two Religious Right activists who became right-wing celebrities after HGTV canceled their planned reality show due to their anti-choice, anti-gay activism, were among the speakers at last night’s “Star Spangled Sunday” event, where they urged Christians to be a bold and heroic in standing up for Christianity just as they had been.
As Jason explained, HGTV may have canceled their show but “they did not take our freedom because we’ve been set free by the blood of Jesus Christ … And we’re encouraging everybody else to take a stand just like that.”
David then declared that the church is just like the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the British bombardment, before turning it into a strange analogy about MMA fighting by proclaiming that “when Satan steps into the octagon and he’s got rockets in one hand and bombs in another with Hamas, and ISIS, and this agenda to silence our freedoms in America, it is the Bride of Christ that steps in with our wedding gown on and combat boots on and a sword in our right hand and we will win in Jesus name”:
