   Dear Orly

   I just mada a donation, and the fund is now at $50,548, raised by 1,416 people in 13 hours.

   I am afraid for these owners, there have been dangerous threats made against them.

   The homonazi’s are in the attack mode.

   Many gays and liberals are obsessed with attacking Christian beliefs and conservative values. Maybe God is listening and is about to change things for them? … they’re all about to be forced to deal with something else and it is coming like a silent freight train and with no flashing lights.

   Have a gay friend? Wake them up, They need to redirect their attention and resources to a much, much bigger problem coming than their war on conservatives and Christians.

   Gays won’t have the option to convert, they will be identified easily through social media (maybe they better consider not hanging around six story buildings here in the USA, and no I’m not being sarcastic or prejudice, I just see what’s coming).

   “… Obama admitted to one Egyptian official that he was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood International …”

   Story About First Business to ‘Publicly Vow to Reject Gay Weddings’ Was Fabricated Out of Nothing
   ————–
   ABC-57 reporter Alyssa Marino’s editor sends her on a half-hour drive southwest of their South Bend studio, to the small town of Walkerton (Pop. ~2,300). According to Alyssa’s own account on Twitter, she “just walked into their shop [Memories Pizza] and asked how they feel” about Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

   Owner Crystal O’Connor says she’s in favor of it, noting that while anyone can eat in her family restaurant, if the business were asked to cater a gay wedding, they would not do it. It conflicts with their biblical beliefs. Alyssa’s tweet mentions that the O’Connors have “never been asked to cater a same-sex wedding.”

   What we have here is — as we called in journalism school jargon — “no story.” Nothing happened. Nothing was about to happen.

   If I were forced to mark out a story line, it would be this: A nice lady in a small town tries to be helpful and polite to a lovely young reporter from “the big city.”

   In other words, Memories Pizza didn’t blast out a news release. They didn’t contact the media, nor make a stink on Twitter or Facebook. They didn’t even post a sign in the window rejecting gay-wedding catering jobs. They merely answered questions from a novice reporter who strolled into their restaurant one day – who was sent on a mission by an irresponsible news organization.

   How can they be sure that the money will go to the pizza parlor owners?

   I think the issue of trust in donating money rests on the good faith and integrity of The Blaze’s Dana Loesch:
