Maybe it's just me.....that's always a plausable possibility lol, but as an AMERICAN person of faith, in my instance a Christian, as well as a Republican Conservative, I have begun to see what I perceive as an alarming trend towards political correctness and liberal appeasement, which I believe is beginning to slowly erode the protection of religious Constitutional rights and freedoms for people of faith.
Clearly the Terri Schindler-Schiavo case is a prime example of this trend! Another example providing an opportunity to witness tolerance of blatant anti-religious behavior from liberals, are the various discussion boards, which at one time, were discussion boards dedicated to a Conservative Republican mindset, which are now beginning to become inundated with leftist whining liberals with an agenda and I, as well as others to whom I have spoken, have clearly seen, what appears to be a different set of tolerance standards, by respective discussion board moderators; which in my opinion, reflects exactly what is happening out in the real world as it pertains to people of faith!
I'm concerned that those of us who are AMERICAN PEOPLE OF FAITH who currently are afforded protection under this nation's Constitution and our right to our religious beliefs and our freedom to practice and express our religious beliefs, again, CURRENTLY protected under the US Constitution for the past 200+ years, are slowly being eliminated!
Today, there seems to be a politically correct mindset, including one of attempting to silence screaming liberals through political APPEASEMENT, which profoundly saddens, disappoints and ANGERS me and frankly SCARES ME TO DEATH!
The thought, that one day we'll all wake up, only to discover that our religious beliefs, as well as our freedom to express our religious beliefs are no longer welcomed in our American society and as a result, have been totally eliminated and replaced with laws condemning our religious beliefs, whereby voiding our constitutional rights!
Sure, perhaps Im experiencing some political paranoia, but then again, I never thought that I would ever live to see the day, when AMERICA not just allowed the court ordered death of an innocent AMERICAN, disabled woman, but willingly stood by and did absolutely nothing to save and protect the life of an innocent and helpless human being!
HI!
*ping* for later -
Gotta go -
WOW! You're good! lol and FAST too! :D

I don't think you realize how much has already eroded away. It began decades ago.
But other than that, what you say is totally true.
Even our R.I.N.O.s in Congress have been APPEASING the left, and it is getting sickening, and it is hurting our country - big time.
Too many politicians that we have elected are more interested in making the radical left news media, and the left-winged politicians happy, than the people who elected them.
Tom DeLay is one of the few in D.C. with guts.
The P.C. people tip toe around every radical out there, but never give a thought to offending Christians.
E-bay even allowed the Holy Eucharist to be sold, and when I expressed my outrage, received an arrogant form letter e-mail.
I doubt if e-bay would offend radical Islam.
I think I understand NOW! What happened to Terri brought TERRIFYING reality! I now look and see with a new set of EYES! I saw an innocent American put to death with absolutely no regardwhatsoever for her rights as an American!
I see politicians thinking that they have somehow pulled the wool over our Nation's eyes and if they say nothing, it will all go away!

I had this SAME conversation with my husband SUN! Well, except the DISGUSTING Ebay auction! It's almost getting to the point, where I'm no longer shocked anymore!
But I tell you what, as you said, with the exception of the few Republicans who now stand alone and the only ones with a backbone, I feel so unbelievably BETRAYED by the Republican Party! They DEFINITELY succeeded at FOOLING me that's FOR SURE!
I agree, Sun!!
Tom Delay is one of the few politicans that I have any respect for these days. Delay did the right thing for Terri when so many stood by and did nothing.
I hope Howard Dean is foolish enough to continue to attack Republicans over what happened to Terri. It will backfire on him big time, when he realizes there are lots of Demos who are very angry over Terri's tortureous death too.
I absolutely agree that it will backfire on Howard Dean, as according to the Zogby poll most Americans did not like what happened to Terri.
Are these politicians part of that politically-correct crowd?

Yes, it sounds like you have awakened. It is shocking, yes, but I hope you won't be terrified. Just keep looking for the Truth and counting on the Lord to bring you through--and sounding the Truth for others with the ears to hear. We are certainly hurtling into the last days. Stay faithful, and lean on God's comfort strength. Remember His promises to His children.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your words are so comforting!
YOU SAID: We are certainly hurtling into the last days.
I know! It's hard to fathom that we've been chosen to witness this prophetic period, isn't it.
Thank you!
