Double standard [It's OK for media to dump on Christians, but not Muslims]

It's significant that the same newspapers that censored the cartoon strip that mentioned Islam had all carried Opus a week earlier when it made fun of Jerry Falwell.

Bingo.

You are not wrong. I think that the left miscalculates the muzzies strength. The left is in for a rude awakening. May God help us all.

If the muslims get control the lefties will be first in line for the beheading and they are too damn stupid to see it

The leftists are so full of hubris, they think that the Islamofascists are their useful idiots and not the other way around. I think most leftists are counting on the Islamists to destroy civilization and wipe out Christianity, and then the leftists imagine they will march in unarmed and build a communist utopia on the rubble the Islamists left. There is no other way to explain the left's suicidal behavior.

You are correct about the vacuum left by a declining (or hiding) Christianity being filled with Islam (mostly, perhaps with some other Eastern religious garbage.

Many who regularly post on Free Republic are also basically anti-Christian, at least to the degree that they consider people who adhere to a *traditional biblicist Christianity (reflected in homes and families to don’t just get pushed over by the world’s trends) to be on the same order as Muslims. Often, when a Christian states a standard for their family, and mentions that millions of Americans hold to a similar standard, those responding begin equating Christians with Muslims.

There are even some who regularly post on Free Republic who have apparently listened to the history of the United States as taught by the government/public school system, which omits any reference to the influence of biblicist Christianity on the mind set of our founding fathers. It would appear that many who consider themselves “conservatives” have accepted the humanists’ revision of late 18th century history.

One post to me recently read as if the writer believed that the Nation, the Constitution and liberty itself came FIRST, and then Christians showed up some time LATER with rules to try to take away people’s liberty. The tone was to the affect: “We already had freedom in America and a separation of church and state -— and then you Christians showed up, and you’re trying to ruin everything.”

Then, when several pages of quotes from (George) Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and presidents from the major parties all the way down to Eisenhower are posted, some come back with sarcastic questions about just how Christians intend to purge non-Christians. You see, in gross ignorance of history, many take these flying leaps to try to frame serious Christians in the same picture with radical Islam.


*traditional. A word I don’t really like. When I say “traditional biblicist Christianity,” I am speaking of a Christian HERITAGE that is as old as the settling of North America (of course older; as old as the Bible Itself), as far as the raising of families, the training of Children, the Christian nature of the home, etc.

Is enjoying self-deprecating humor the first thing to go in an inbred society?

I believe the 'lefties' are so blinded by their hatred of Christianity that they consider islam to be their ally in the sense of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'.
They've convinced themselves that the muslims will become as they are -- godless, self-worshipping, 'tamed' by access to 'free-sex' and the social welfare that the Western Left offers.
They have deluded themselves.
The Left is living in a soul-less vacuum. Satan's minions will enter into that vacuum and destroy the host...

Christ has been a Gift of God. The West at one time embraced Christianity, but over time has rejected the Word for the gods of 'Darwinism', Gaia, 'Humanism', Big Government, etc... and coming soon -- the god of mohammed.

Matthew 12:43-45 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
