Tolerance is not the same thing as acceptance, and acceptance is not the same thing as an endorsement. The message A&E’s decision sends is that there is zero tolerance on television for Christians who are conscientious objectors to homosexuality. More than that, it implicitly suggests that the campaign for tolerance has advanced to a campaign to pressure 45 percent of Americans to recant their beliefs and endorse a lifestyle to which they are opposed, conscience be damned.
We stand at a crossroads. The country must decide. Is the endgame here to be that orthodox Christians will henceforth have no voice within their own culture? If so, does this mean we have become a nation of bullies, forcing conformity while calling it tolerance?

My ancestors came here to escape religious persecution. Now, we are being persecuted again, by the media, an arm of the government that used to be a Republic but is now a Stalinist dictatorship, bound and determined to suppress the voices of those who stand with Jesus Christ and denounce homosexuality and other grave sins also condemned in the Bible.
It is already clear that sincere Christians are not allowed to be in movies or on television. There is no issue hidden here.
Christians are subject to a modern version of Nazi Germany's Nuremberg Laws which did not allow Jews to enter certain professions. Christians will lose their jobs if they profess their faith. That is the message. It is loud and clear. There is nothing “hidden”.

The liberals would prefer that orthodox Christians have no voice within their own culture. Yes, that is the endgame for the liberals. Yes, it means that those liberals who run TV networks have become bullies.
Yes, they are forcing conformity with liberal views on any subject, whether it be homosexuality, abortion, or Obamacare, and demonizing those who hold opposing points of view.
Yes the liberals call this forcing only liberal views down our throats via their hold on the media to be tolerance.
That’s why socialism always eventually leads to a bullet to the back of the head and mass graves.
To put the fear in the liberals lets put A&E in the trash can.
