Does Barry Lynn have a kitten about Harry Potter, too?

Great article. Thanks for posting.

as long as people sit on their asses and do nothing (keyboarding does very little); these people will continue to trash everything gained by blood and sweat to make this country what it is

I will never understand why we allow these groups so much time at the microphone. We've always had kooks but until recently we'd ignore their ramblings about acid rain, or inadequate food supplies, or Jesus Christ, or any number of other things was sure to lead to our ruin.

Now any group with a loud mouth and a bad idea gets their way - we're saving the caribou, protecting the swamps, worshiping the redwoods, we can't drill in the frozen tundra, blah blah blah (ad nauseum)

Barry Lynn is an assrabbit. He should be barking in front of a sideshow tent, not talking with the adults.

Erasing Christianity from the culture that it shaped will leave nothing left. We had better ban all literature, along with our whole contaminated culture.

Never Fear, the Caliphate will do that in due time.

Such a clear gospel message, according to some civil libertarians, has no place in the public schools. Barry Lynn, director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, says, "This whole contest is just totally inappropriate because of the themes of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It is simply a retelling of the story of Christ."

I used to listen to Lynn years ago when he co-hosted a radio show with Pat Buchanan during the Clinton crime years.

Lynn was a Marxist on almost every issue. Intelligent, but totally without wisdom. It was very clear, however, that what drove him over the edge was Christianity. His demeanor on the air would change as quick as the blink of an eye, and he became horribly agitated by any mention of the faith.

Barry Lynn is so smart. Wonder if he realizes that Kelo v. City of New London is simply a retelling of the story of Ahab and Jezabel as told by the atheistic Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

Frankly, I think it's long overdue for Barry Lynn to leave America and go find someplace comfortable.

RP, can you share this with John? I won't get to listen today. I have to sub. Thanks!

C.S. Lewis' classic, set to premiere as a major motion picture Dec. 9, has a clear Christian message, culminating in the Christ-figure, Aslan the Lion, giving himself to the devil figure, the White Witch, to die in the place of the rotten little kid, Edmund. Then Aslan rises from the dead, which brings salvation to Narnia.

Well GREAT! Thanks for posting this, now I don't have to see the movie!

I'll bet you're the same person that posted the ending to the movie "Titanic!"

We live in an age when the Left considers Christianity to be more dangerous than pornography. C.S Lewis would be amused at the absurdity of it all.

Barry Lynn.....book burner

[joebuck]

"We are very much concerned that this will unleash a tidal wave of new censorship efforts by a variety of religious groups seeking to impose their sectarian viewpoints on all of the students in America's public schools."

But Barry has no problem with a variety of left wing athiest groups "seeking to impose their rsectarian viewpoints on all of the students in America's public schools." In fact, if you read again what Barry said you will realize that he is saying people whose beliefs are informed by their religious convictions have no place in the democratic process.

Along with Dickens, Shakespeare and Milton, we'd have to ditch this one, too --

"One of my most vivid memories is of coming back West from prep school and later from college at Christmas time. Those who went farther than Chicago would gather in the old dim Union Station at six o'clock of a December evening, with a few Chicago friends, already caught up into their own holiday gayeties, to bid them a hasty good-by. I remember the fur coats of the girls returning from Miss This-or-that's and the chatter of frozen breath and the hands waving overhead as we caught sight of old acquaintances, and the matchings of invitations: "Are you going to the Ordways'? the Herseys'? the Schultzes'?" and the long green tickets clasped tight in our gloved hands. And last the murky yellow cars of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad looking cheerful as Christmas itself on the tracks beside the gate.

"When we pulled out into the winter night and the real snow, our snow, began to stretch out beside us and twinkle against the windows, and the dim lights of small Wisconsin stations moved by, a sharp wild brace came suddenly into the air. We drew in deep breaths of it as we walked back from dinner through the cold vestibules, unutterably aware of our identity with this country for one strange hour, before we melted indistinguishably into it again.

"That's my Middle West — not the wheat or the prairies or the lost Swede towns, but the thrilling returning trains of my youth, and the street lamps and sleigh bells in the frosty dark and the shadows of holly wreaths thrown by lighted windows on the snow. I am part of that, a little solemn with the feel of those long winters, a little complacent from growing up in the Carraway house in a city where dwellings are still called through decades by a family's name. I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all — Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life..."

Barry Lynn has become the Salem witch hunter he so regularly claims he's against.

Ever run into a person who seems to drain all the life out of something?

These are the same types who rail against censorship - but they have no problem censoring anything that smacks even remotely of Christianity.
