Christianity has been the foundation stone to America’s success and greatness. The left despises that, and by the vituperation of their attacks, one can see there is a great deal of venom. They seek to destroy America as a free nation and to bring about socialistic change, and as Karl Marx proclaimed, destroy religion to accomplish those ends.

After religion, private property, and then the first and second amendments. Then the 4th and 5th as the arrests come in the middle of the night. The communist disease never stops, and it keeps erupting like the ebola virus, to plague mankind and cause untold death and misery. They want to destroy the Constitution, that is an imperative. They clearly do not believe in any of these rights and none of the nations they have infected throughout history had any of these rights; they even admitted they are an impediment to their revolution.

When the left squeals, you know the object of their opprobrium is a very positive thing for the country. You also know that object is on a target list for which these propagandists have been ordered to attack. Religion, traditional families, life, Tea Party Republicans, independent media, lower taxes, free markets, independent businessmen, guns, charter schools, individuality, etc. These are the enemies to their communist state and are to be ostracized. They despise Christianity, as much as they despise America. They wish to destroy it and create some left wing, communist monstrosity. Vigilance for the defense of the greatest nation on earth is demanded by every free thinking citizen.

When they caterwaul over Trump’s tweets, they want him to stop because they understand the effectiveness he has in transmitting an unvarnished message to the citizens. They cannot filter it, they cannot control it. It is a powerful weapon. If those tweets were hurting him, they would clearly support it. But you can tell by the venom of the left that Trumps tweets are having their intended effect.

Jesus said that those who follow his teachings would be hated of all men.

The WaPo wants to insinuate that Billy Graham was a bad, absent and negligent father who put is work above his own family.

What they neglect to mention is HOW HIS CHILDREN ALL TURNED OUT !!

God blessed his family and blessed the amount of quality time he spent with his kids when he was not on the road.

Here is an intro to the Graham children:

Would that “free press” ever have been so “honest”, right after their deaths, with any of the Kennedy brothers? No way; and in some cases still not even today.

Ah poor “journalism” I knew you well, as hypocrite is thy name.

Graham was the target of smear articles in the media hours after the notice of his death. At last, some common ground has been found between Billy Graham and Hugh Hefner.

Reminds me of this:

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John, Catholic chapter fifteen, Protestant verses eighteen to nineteen ,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James
