Shall we unveil the 700-pound Tasmanian devil in the room? The chief reason the average crank hates Tim Tebow & Sarah Palin is because both are open and unapologetic Christians. Although typical anti-American bigots are loathe to admit this fact, it is transparently true. Further, it is the essential values and characteristics of authentic Christianity which most of these non-believers find highly objectionable. This same anti-religious bigotry now threatens to atomize America’s once nearly impregnable foundations.
Currently, atheism is more esteemed than American Idol contestants. Meanwhile, atheists pour out disdain against Christians like so many Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. For example, consider the juvenile ramblings of Richard Dawkins, whose works create a toxic minefield of assorted fallacies, while raging blindly against God. This article examines the loss of a Christian worldview in America, as hinted at by the fury poured out against Sarah Palin and Tim Tebow for merely openly espousing their beliefs. The article goes onto suggest America may still restore our glory days if we turn away from failed and godless political ideals, and once again honor Him—as we did originally, so many years ago—on the first Thanksgiving day....

Outstanding!
amen.
Indeed powerful! I’ve maintained that the left/Democrats are Satan’s foot soldiers. They truly are “the dark side”.

from the article...Newt Gingrich reminds us of this holiday’s true meaning:
America’s First Thanksgiving: A Wholly Holy Celebration
As we all enjoy turkey and the trimmings this Thanksgiving, you may be interested to know that the first Thanksgiving celebration in America was a completely religious observance that didn’t include a feast.
It occurred in 1619—more than a year before the Pilgrims arrived from Massachusetts. A group of 38 English settlers arrived in Virginia and set aside a day to give thanks to God for their safe passage. The three-day festival of food and friendship that was the origin of Thanksgiving as we know it today didn’t occur until 1621.
Not Just a Private Celebration, a Public Thanks to God.
I really liked how he framed these!
... “But instead of chasing red herrings—let’s examine a list of ten integral characteristics that are true both of good Christians and classic American ideals, expressed in these beliefs”:
1.There is a God, revealed in the Bible; this Deity on earth is Jesus.
2.Life has a purpose; we are here to use our gifts to achieve this.
3.Honesty is crucial; lying is diabolical.
4.No free lunches; everyone must work for what they have.
5.Rule of Law; same standards for all.
6.Sex is for marriage.
7.Don’t buy what you can’t afford.
8.Capitalism is simply freedom applied to economics.
9.Government must be moral.
10.All forms of Marxism are godless, and therefore evil.
Imagine how quickly America would return to greatness, peace, prosperity and health if we would once again take biblical ideals seriously—like Tebow & Palin do—and apply them across the board in our lives?... ‘Nuff said.
Excellent. Thanks for posting this 2nd. Great read, and right on the mark.
Ping!
Only one thing is more esteemed than atheism by the libs, and that’s Obama-style fake Christianity. They love the thought that they can use religion to achieve irreligious goals.
Thanks onyx.
Yea they think they have it all covered by uttering a few semi-religious words.
Invoking God, without a clue.
2 Timothy 3:5-7
King James Version (KJV):
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Jesus said it would be this way. Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who has actually read the Bible.

When they 'pour out disdain' equally against other religions, specifically Islam, then I might be willing to listen to their incessant, shrill yapping, until then, they can sod off...

Be careful no name that you don’t set the bar so high that only you will actually get over it, could be a very lonely place.
Itsacrapshoot- I will be more careful in the future!
I’m not the One who set the bar...
