“Pagan religions and Islam sanctify murder, rape, theft, and dishonesty. They sanction polygamy and sex with children. They do not believe in equal justice under the law, a key part of the judeo/Christian ethical system.”

In order to tear down the United States the Left preaches that all religions and all cultures are of equal values - which is patent nonsense.

[guitar Josh]

You'd think by now we'd be used to the hypocrisy of the left, but it never ends.

The same liberals who obsess over separation of church and state also claim that Jesus was a socialist, so all Christians should support socialism.

It's really pretty simple, if the Founders ultimately wanted a separation of church and state, they would have written something about a separation of church and state in the Constitution.

[Petrosius]

We actually get the 1st Amendment wrong. Its provision is only applicable to the federal government (Congress). Additionally, Congress is not simply prohibited from passing a law establishing religion. Rather, it is prohibited from passing any law regarding the establishment of religion; i.e. it cannot pass a law establishing religion, nor one prohibiting the states from doing so. In other words, it takes the question of religion away from the federal government and reserves it to the states.

Rothkopf [the author] was born in Urbana, Illinois to a Jewish family. His father escaped the Holocaust while three dozen of his relatives did not.

[DesertRhino]

Yeah, we were. It was not an official state church if that is what you mean. But it was utterly steeped in Christianity from it’s very founding. It’s disingenuous to pretend America was not a Christian nation in character and did not continue as such until the modern era.

[Mr. Mojo]

Amusing how this uber-lib schmuck extensively quotes the Founders in a weak attempt to bolster his argument, as if he’s a fan of them and our Constitution.

[chajin]

Do you know what people used to call “the extreme religious views of a minority of Americans”?

NORMAL.

I am a normal man, who follows the only God. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a fool.

[Myrddin]

Typical leftist reading of the First Amendment. He left out the rest of the text.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

[Dan in Wichita]

What the hell is wrong with these sick leftists? How did they get so brainwashed? Were they abused as children? These people are absolutely sick and evil.

Correct, but "Islamoterrorism" is not in their vocabulary.

[neefer]

It is Christofascism.

When I was young, you could put a nativity scene in your yard during Christmas and expect it to be left in the same condition. For at least 25 years, nativity scenes have been placed behind plexiglass or otherwise protected from vandalism. But atheist neighbors would tell me you're crazy if you think there is a war against Christians. Live and let live is dead.

[NorthMountain]

From Wikihahahapedia: "Rothkopf also serves as a registered foreign agent of the United Arab Emirates."

Huh ...

[DesertRhino]

And he’s a democrat. So he learned nothing from the death of his ancestors.

[alternatives?]

“The writer is Christophobic.”

That is the term everyone should be applying over and over.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

What the Founding Fathers feared MOST was mob rule, which is where the left will take us until they get the mob to hand them complete control. Then it will be a pure dictatorship of the globalist oligarchs.

[HotKat]

The title makes me so happy, I’m not going to read the article.

[dragnet2]

Really? How many times has he been arrested, prosecuted, impeached, spied on, phones tapped, criminally undermined, compromised, and had his home raided by members of the armed police state?

Johnson is about to find out.

Let me know when he's been arrested, prosecuted, impeached, spied on, phones tapped, criminally undermined, compromised, and had his home raided by armed members of the police state.

[Reverend Wright]

“Worse than Trump !”

[pierrem15]

The biggest threat to the US is the conjuncture of neo-communism and corporate fascism, which seeks total control of the means of production not by confiscation but by an all powerful administrative state legitimated by bogus claims of eco-catastrophism and nonsensical claims of oppression based on identity pushed 24/7 by propaganda media.

Confiscatory levels of taxation will be combined with regulatory strangulation, with carve-outs and subsidies for big corporate supporters of the regime, of course.

Picture a $299 rainbow Nike sneaker crushing a human face forever.

[pierrem15]

Yes: they always leave that clause out as though it means you can believe what you want in your head and perform religious rites hiding in your basement.
