ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIGOTRY EXPLODES AT VILLAGE VOICE

ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIGOTRY EXPLODES AT VILLAGE VOICE


Catholic League president William Donohue called attention today to the anti-Christian explosion under way at the Village Voice:

*The day after the election, James Ridgeway confessed, “The dream has become a nightmare.” By that he meant “the dream of a secular, liberal democracy.” Why? Because, he said, “the Christians are stronger than ever.” On 11-16, Ridgeway blasted “the self-absorbed, selfish Christians who take sanctimonious pride in wrapping themselves in the banners of the civil rights movement, missionary work abroad, giving old clothes to single mothers,” etc. He then blamed Christians for not challenging the Klan in the 1980s, noting it is Jews who fight racism outside the South.

*On 11-15, Sharon Lerner warned of “an army of bloodthirsty archconservatives” who constitute the pro- life movement. So bad are things for the pro-abortionists that she says, “the sky could really fall.” She makes it clear that it is the Christians she fears.

*On 11-16, Sydney H. Schanberg wondered aloud if the election meant “we’re having a second Civil War.” Though he doubts we are, he nonetheless concludes that “there’s a feel of holy-war fever in America.” He also makes it clear that it is the Christians he fears.

*On 11-16, Michael Feingold shows he’s crashed: “The spoliation of our national forests by Bush-based economic interests, joined with the accelerated melting of the polar cap…will bring on what must surely be an increasing parade of natural disasters, pandemics, outbreaks of disease….” He warns that “as the sun gets more dangerous, the air less breathable, the water less drinkable, the hurricanes more frequent,” even the rich will suffer. How did this happen? He says, “this is the election in which American Christianity destroyed itself. Today the church is no longer a religion but a tacky political lobby….” Indeed, “Christianity as currently preached and practiced in Middle America is virtually Satan, by the standards of anyone who strives to follow the teachings of Jesus.”

NOTE: It would behoove the 85 percent of Americans who are Christian not to treat this outburst of anti- Christian bigotry lightly.

hmmm let's see... they spend the last 20-30 years voicing anti-God philosphies and removing God from schools and courtrooms, and then they wonder why there is a backlash..?


liberals are too stupid to understand cause and effect.

Gays are the most hateful and resentful people on the planet. Their hatred for christians knows no bounds. Their hatred for christian morality is poisoning their spirits. If you dare to point this out to them, they hate hate hate you for it. Is it any surprise then, that normal God loving people refuse to endorse their perverted agenda?
"We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us."

As a Jew who voted for Bush I want someone to start hating me too as I'm starting to feel left out!~}

Just send letters to Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore telling them about your vote. I'm sure they will hate you real good.

If you are going to quote him, attribute said quote for the benefit of others. The man who wrote that filth is gay activist Michael Swift, writing for the Gay Community News.

Hey, Mikey! When was the last time you actually left Gotham and visited a national forest? It is know-nothing, elitist city-dwelling punks like you that set up our forests to burn to a cinder thru your advocation of insane "environmental" policies. How about we reintroduce wolf packs to Central Park and Long Island. Maybe that would get your overpopulation of urban deer under control.

I was creeped out by some one time and I assure you, these people are perverted! Their life is unclean! AIDS demonstrates this fact.

Very Scary that hate speech towards Christians and inherently Jews.

I think that the Voice is unconsciously condemning civilization itself, rather than Christians. Since there is no way for a party organ to say that it is against civilization and maintain a pretense of sanity, it is the word "Christian" that they chose as a sort of coding for the RDDBs. I live in the deep South, and the Christians that I know are decent, hard working and hardly apt to rock any boats. In a word, they are no threat to the birkenstockers except that they have the power to vote. Christians, if anything, are too willing to partner themselves with modernity -or postmodernity if you prefer. I stopped going to church because my pastor never lost a chance to enable every thug, nut, loser, creep and degenerate across the globe. He was glib, of course, but I know how to "read" these people. I now spend my money and time supporting the Jewish community, and sometimes I think that they've gone nuts, too.

These left wingers are targeting Christians. It is very simple and clear when you read their vile hate posing as journalistic articles.

Out here on the left coast, liberals hate the evil Jooos if not more than they hate us evil Christians.

Liberals want to outlaw true Christianity. They've been working on it little by little for years now.
