Sears at Townhall: The government cloaks its anti-church legal maneuverings as enforcement of the imaginary “separation of church and state” clause that the Left likes to pretend is in the Constitution. But it’s hard not to believe that the state’s real objection to Christian charity is that every church committed to social service eliminates that much more need for government bureaus and subsidies and commissions and tax-payer funded initiatives. Ultimately, a more active church erodes the need for bigger government … and to the Left, nothing is more important than bigger government. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/17/alan-e-sears-eliminating-the-competition/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/17/alan-e-sears-in-rhode-island-a-move-to-force-taxpayers-to-fund-abortions/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/17/alan-e-sears-in-rhode-island-a-move-to-force-taxpayers-to-fund-abortions/#comments Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:06:19 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=131334 Alan E.

It was held over from the first session last spring when some groups, including the Maine Family Policy Council, formerly the Maine Christian Civic League, and another group called the Alliance Defense Fund, objected at the last minute . . . The Alliance Defense Fund is a national group headed by Alan Sears, author of a book titled “The Homosexual Agenda,” that has opposed same-sex marriage and equal rights for gays and lesbians. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/01/25/maine-anti-bullying-bill-moves-forward-bangor-daily-news/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/01/24/alan-e-sears-in-arizona-another-move-to-mute-free-speech-on-college-campuses/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/01/24/alan-e-sears-in-arizona-another-move-to-mute-free-speech-on-college-campuses/#comments Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:59:32 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=123950 TellADF Blog: Our Christian brother Ray Arneson finds his mission fields close to home.
