Evangelical Leader Gary Bauer Says 'Skewed' Polls Showing Surge in Support for Gay Marriage are 'Ludicrous': VIDEO

ON FOX News Sunday, evangelical leader Gary Bauer attacked the "radical movement" to "redefine marriage" in a debate with GOP strategist Nicole Wallace, saying that he's not worried about polling that shows a surge in support for same-sex marriage because "the polls are skewed."

Fox_pollSnapped Bauer:

“The argument that the public is overwhelmingly in favor of same sex marriage is ludicrous. 33 states have voted to keep marriage the union of one man and one woman. If it was so obvious that the American public wants to try a radical social experiment that results in children in those households, definitely, definitely, not having a mother and a father - that's what makes marriage a special institution. It guarantees that children have mothers and fathers. If the opinion of the American public was so overwhelming, the gay rights movement and their allies like Nicole wouldn’t be asking the Supreme Court to say to the American people, ‘You have no say on this issue. We're going to decide it here in Washington D.C.’”

"The robot, created by researchers from the University of Tokyo, has been used to characterise the silkmoth's tracking behaviours and it is hoped that these can be applied to other autonomous robots so they can track down smells, and subsequent sources, of environmental spills and leaks when fitted with highly sensitive sensors."

FRC, Hate Groups Run 'USA Today' Ad Urging Boy Scouts to Keep Anti-Gay Policies in Place: VIDEO

The Family Research Council and 41 allied organizations/hate groups ran a full-page ad in USA Today urging the Boy Scouts of America to hold on to its anti-gay policies. The organization, as you know, is considering dropping its ban on gay scouts and leaders at its board meeting this week.

Writes the FRC in a release:

Among the groups signing onto the ad are the American Family Association, American Values, Bott Radio Network, Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute, International Communion of Evangelical Churches, Liberty Counsel, Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, Patriot Voices, and a number of state family policy organizations.

The ad states that a policy change would be "a grave mistake" and that, "Every American who believes in freedom of thought and religious liberty should be alarmed by the attacks upon the Boy Scouts," whose oath includes that members should be "morally straight." The ad emphasizes that, "To compromise moral principles under political and financial pressure would teach the boys cowardice, not courage."

The ad highlights BSA's policy of recognizing the right of parents to teach their children about sexual topics. The ad concludes by challenging readers to ask themselves, "How will parents be able to entrust their children to the Boy Scouts if they trade the well-being of the boys for corporate dollars?"

President Obama said that the Boy Scouts should allow gays to join its organization in a 60 Minutes interview that ran before the Super Bowl.

Said Obama: "My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does, in every institution and walk of life."

And Tony Perkins took his campaign to FOX News on Sunday.

And the Fox News host doesn't treat him with kid gloves. The two discuss the controversial NRA ad that criticizes the Secret Service protection President Obama's daughters receive at their school. Wallace does not take too kindly to LaPierre's defense of the clip, which first aired last month.

Wallace says to LaPierre: "Do you really think that the President's children are the same kind of target as every schoolchild in America? I think that's ridiculous, and you know it, sir."
