    Liberals attack doughnut shop's good deed


    Liberals attack doughnut shop's good deed -- What in the sweet name of Santa Claus is wrong them?

    A popular doughnut shop in Portland, Maine, was forced to apologize to the community after it offended customers by working with the Salvation Army to provide Christmas to a needy family.

    The Holy Donut had asked customers to help them with a gift drive for a local family with five children. Those customers who participated received free doughnuts.

    The doughnut shop reached out to the Salvation Army to find the family in need, the Press-Herald reports.

    Instead of saluting the doughnut shop for doing a good deed – an online mob stormed their Facebook page. Many accused the Salvation Army of being anti-gay and discriminating against the LGBT community.

    It was all untrue, of course – but the truth doesn't really matter these days.

    "They proselytize to the people in their programs, they reject LGBT people from their shelters," one outraged customer wrote. "They have tried to scrub their image, but still discriminate."...



    ...Nevertheless, some freedom-loving, donut eaters defended the popular mom-and-pop establishment.

    "Going after a doughnut shop because they don't like their politics is exactly why people voted for Trump," one observer wrote online.

    "I don't care if someone is L, G, B or T, but when they stand in the way of people helping people simply because their own personal noses are out of joint, they lose my respect and any sympathy I have for their cause," wrote another.

    But the Press Herald reports that the anti-doughnut mob was unrelenting – going so far as to threaten boycotts unless the donut shop renounced its association with the Salvation Army....



    ...."We do not support the Salvation Army or consider them our 'partner' for this project, they simply linked us to a needy family," the store owners wrote on Facebook. "We have nothing to gain here, we just wanted to help a family in need."...



    ....To quell the growing controversy, The Holy Donut threw themselves at the mercy of the surging mob.

    "We take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to anyone that we have offended," the store owners wrote on Facebook. "We are an organization which prides itself on our track record of kindness and acceptance of everyone."

    The Holy Donut should be commended
    for helping a family in need and spreading a bit of Christmas cheer.

    They should also be commended for make delicious doughnuts. (I've been privileged to sample their Maple Bacon Maine Potato Donut).

    And shame on all of you folks out there for harassing these good people and spreading out-right lies about the Salvation Army. Shame!

    No doughnuts for you.

    So now the idea is to go after the Salvation Army by going after anyone they think might be associated with them.

    'A popular doughnut shop in Portland, Maine, was forced to apologize to the community' This is one reason this tactic keeps working....

    First off no one FORCED them to apologize...they chose to under pressure...

    Yep. I mean it really is more annoying. The attacks are gonna happen. It's them responding the way they did that makes it highly annoying.

    they've seen what can happen.. who'd have thought a person could lose their business over cake?

    Although, I'm just feisty enough I'd tell them to go.. .. have a doughnut.

    To be fair, they don't seem to be a Christian owned business (at least not overtly in any way), despite their name.

    The article is more about the crazy liberals attack against just about anything even remotely Christian.

    I just read the other day that The Salvation Army supports Planned Parenthood. I don't know that I believe it, but this website claims they do.


    What's the Salvation Army's Stance on Abortion?

    On the surface, the beginning of the SA Positional Statement is morally sound. There is acknowledgment that all people are created in the image of God, and therefore have unique and intrinsic value. They further state that human life is sacred, and that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. The Salvation Army also accepts that life beings at the moment of fertilization. So far, so good.

    Later, in same section, there are shocking contradictions. The Salvation Army notes that termination can occur when "carrying the pregnancy further seriously threatens the life of the mother" or diagnostic procedures identify a fetal abnormality causing only a "very brief post-natal period". Further, rape and incest also represent "special case[s] for the consideration of termination". These exceptions portray a troubling contradiction to the professed "sanctity, unique dignity and respect" due to the "image of God" found in our unborn brethren.

    Salvation Army and Planned Parenthood: What's the Connection?

    In order to determine collusion between the Salvation Army and Planned Parenthood, we must look at material cooperation as well as monetary support. While SA may not directly contribute to PP, there is evidence that they do partner with one another. Research by Life Decisions International has found this to be the case, and has placed the Salvation Army on their Dishonorable Mention list. Further, American Life League has also found a troubling connection between the two. Simply considering "all the good they do" is not enough to excuse or set aside this compromise of pro-life principles.

    How About Contraception?

    As we further peruse the SA website we can also find stated support of contraception in their international positional statement:

    "A serious commitment to the protection and care of the unborn calls us to a commitment to the prevention of unwanted pregnancy through means such as access to reliable birth control ...."
