I am in complete agreement with Robert Spencer on this one. Liberals have a history of attacking imaginary enemies while trying to ignore real enemies. I think someone defined wisdom as knowing what is important. Dennis Prager says one can be smart and leftist, but one cannot be wise and leftist. Scaring yourself silly about false threats, while remaining blind to real threats is the epitome of folly and liberalism. I aplaud Robert Spencer for calling the liberals on their latest folly.

Beware the Christophobes.

My brother suffers from Bush Derangement Syndrome. He is convinced that we currently live in a theocracy and that it should be illegal for any churchgoer to be elected president. "That's what the First Amendment means" he says.

[Quick or Dead]

Should we turn our attention away from a real threat to an imagined one? That is what Chris Hedges and the other anti-theocracy writers are asking us to do. While fiction has always competed with reality in the public discourse about the Islamic jihad, the Christian theocracy scare books represent projection on a massive scale. Unfortunately, while Chris Hedges leads the hunt for Christian theocrats under our bed, real theocrats continue to advance a violent supremacist agenda worldwide. We ignore or dismiss that at our own risk.

Bingo. The Muslims are too "oppressed" and "down-trodden" to warrant the attention of Chris Hodges. Christians in America though are, and have always been the perfect targets for men like Hodges as Christians don't make a habit of beheading unbelievers.

Peel away enough layers with any liberal, of any sort, and you will find someone who has "unresolved issues" with his Creator.

My Lord may have been led to the slaughter, mute like a lamb, but I have no prophetic obligation to do the same.

I have the modern day "sword" He commanded me to buy and I will use it in the event of any modern day persecution against Christians. I will send Satan's spawn straight to Hell in a heartbeat.

This writer should have checked out David Barton and Wallbuilders.com and did a little historical research about our past Presidents, before writing this hit piece criticizing present-day Christians who have done more to spread the Gospel and feed the hungry in one day than he's done in his whole entire lifetime.

Sour grapes are bad fruit.

I'll bet the Methodist ladies group down the street has some sinister plans for this Chris Hedges fellow.

Watch (listen) to the socialists use more and more 'religious sounding' talk .... IMO, their clever effort to make a mockery of Jesus, their ultimate goal.

The bwitch last week in Selma, f'rinstance ... and I can't wait to hear how Hussien 'articulates' scripture.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

As Christians we are to be in the world, but not of the world. Ours is a conversion of heart, leading to a way of life that lives among others as an overwhelmingly attractive way to bring others to our Lord and Savior and as an alternative to chasing after empty pleasures. We are to be the the salt in the recipe, adding flavor and preserving the end product. We are to influence by our example and resist temptation to sin. I have no desire to "rule the world" in and of myself, but to hold out the hope of redemption and peace. It is my commission and my privilege to serve the One who loved us first and most of all.

The World that thinks the Love of my life is about anything other than that can place a big sweet kiss on my made in Heaven derriere.

To be fair, I have encountered my share of downright cocopuff religious voters on FR. Most notable were a few who insisted that adultery was a crime about as severe as murder, and that people should be locked up for it.

I really have to question the kind of mind that finds murder and adultery as comparable 'crimes,' let alone comparable sins. Even God ranked murder higher than adultery when He gave us the commandments.

Some of these folks are strange, indeed.

[montag813]

Even the NYT gave this book a stinker review.

[Old_Mil]

The sad irony is that about a third of the country can't see the difference between a Christian who says that homosexuality is sinful and a Muslim who wants to cut your head off for taking your wife out to dinner without first covering her in a bedsheet.

Some of these people plan on voting for Rudy, too.

For those who believe that the cross of Christ is foolishness, it is evil.

This book is hardly "climbing" the list, having appeared this week for the first time at number 13, and it is hardly the only book of this type.

Still, I think some Christians should think again about wanting their religion to take over. The not-so-good reason for not pushing Christianity is that pushing it will provoke exactly this kind of backlash. The good reason is that it is wrongheaded thinking. If Christianity is right (and I believe it is), it should lead one into the respect for liberty that the Founders had--the only place from which one can freely choose to be a Christian.

Ain't that the truth!

Mostly they hate Christianity because it does not agree with their predelictions.

Never mind that the muslims would hang them by the neck just for being 'queer'.

I'm not religious, but I have nothing but RESPECT for my Christian neighbors, including Catholics and Mormons, along with Protestants.
