  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    Last November RightMichigan was the first outlet anywhere in the world to tell readers about a militant homosexual organization's violent physical attack in the middle of Sunday service on congregants of Delta Township's Mount Hope Church.

    Now, more than six months and nearly a half-million google links after the story exploded, the Alliance Defense Fund is taking the next step.  They've filed suit in United States District Court on behalf of the church, seeking an injunction against and damages from "Bash Back," the organization that orchestrated and carried out last year's assault.

    "They don't have the right to come in and terrorize the congregation," Kevin Theriot, senior counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund told the Lansing State Journal. "This case would have never been filed if these folks had just stayed on the public sidewalk, held up their signs and didn't disrupt the service."

    Of course, they went much further than that.

    Kahn, Jones introduce legislation to protect worship services

    Less than a week after the election of Barack Obama as the nation's first Dem President in nearly a decade a pro-gay-special rights group calling themselves "Bash Back!" invaded an evangelical church in Lansing, vandalizing the property, disrupting the service, running over worshipers and attempting to instigate physical confrontations.

    And that's just what happened OUTSIDE the bathroom where church security found two of the homosexual activists after police thought they'd cleared the campus.  (The image below was screen-grabbed from the website where they claimed credit for the attack.)

    RightMichigan was the first to tell you the story (which you can find HERE) but certainly wasn't the last.  Our coverage was discussed everywhere from WorldNet Daily to the Drudge Report and wound up shining a pretty bright spotlight on the liberals who'd commissioned and carried out the violent anti-Christian attack.

    Sadly, the libs claimed they weren't done and that similar church-targeted violence should be expected in the future.

    Now, several months later, some in the Michigan legislature are standing up and saying `not so fast.'

    Yesterday Senator Roger Kahn and Representative Rick Jones introduced legislation in each Michigan chamber increasing the penalties for church service invasions.  House Bill 4537 and Senate Bill 351 ratchet up the punishment for this sort of anti-religious behavior to a $5,000 fine on top of any additional criminal charges.

    The bills protect religious services across the board, in churches, synagogues and mosques.

    "Michigan must send a strong message that hoodlum-type behavior is not welcome in our state, and certainly not in our churches," Jones said.  "Freedom of Religion is one of our basic American rights and it must be protected.  By increasing the penalty for this shocking crime, we can effectively deter future demonstrations and allow people to worship in peace."

    Kahn said Michigan must enact this legislation to help maintain the sanctity of the state's places of worship.

    "This legislation is just plain common sense," said Sen. Kahn. "Our people expect and deserve the right to worship in peace.  Extremist groups who would be so insensitive as to interrupt a religious service should know that such behavior will not be tolerated."

    A quick listen to a liberal blogger's recorded interview with Bash Back!'s defacto spokesman makes it plain as day that the criminal penalties for trespassing and vandalism don't worry these Democratic extremists.  Hit them in the pocket-books, though, in this Granholm-Cherry economy?  That's going to pack a wallop.

    Props to Senator Kahn, Representative Jones and the folks who have already begun signing on as co-sponsors.  This is common-sense, non-partisan legislation that should move quickly through both chambers... one would assume.  Then again, one could have also assumed the Dems would never dream of attacking peaceful church goers on a Sunday morning.  And we all know now the danger of assumption.
