As the Left foams at the mouth over Phil Robertson, the Christian man who described Almighty God's take on homosexuality and other gross sins, their fear is becoming more and more apparent. They seem gradually to be realizing that they are a pernicious minority that only thrives because they are bolstered by Obama's morally corrupt federal government; intellectually lightweight media, devoid of principles; and interestingly, a general decency of American people influenced by the nation's Judeo-Christian roots. The masses, however, are becoming increasingly fed up with the Left's imposition of a twisted worldview that does not comport with anything resembling America as it was founded, and they are voicing that sentiment by the thousands. So far, the pushback is with protests and petitions against amoral multi-million-dollar corporations, such as Cracker Barrel and A&E. Such benign acts of self-preservation will not continue indefinitely.
If it were not so pathetic, it would be laughable that some leftists actually think that they can dictate to those of us who oppose their worldview how we should say things that offend them. I refer here to the Fox News commentator Greta Van Susteren's question to former governor Sarah Palin on a recent "On the Record" show. She asked Palin if it would not have been better if Mr. Robertson had said what he said differently. That attitude, which is shared by others of Ms. Van Susteren's leftist cohorts on Fox and throughout the culture, is insufferably hubristic. We, who oppose their worldview, must now speak our opposition only in ways that they approve.
It is also interesting that those who oppose biblical Christianity (and a few who claim that they do not oppose it) have trotted out their list of affirmed homosexuals who proclaim Phil Robertson's right to "his opinion." To any but the scripturally ignorant, Robertson's statements are not "his opinion." He did not inspire the writing of the scriptures that condemn homosexuality; God did. In paraphrasing Scripture, Robertson did not compare homosexuality to bestiality; God did. Robertson's "opinion" is only that he chooses to accept God's directives. What homosexuals and the rest of the Left fail to comprehend is that their ultimate fight is with God, not believing Christians. We just happen to be visible objects to which wrath can be directed.
In a recent airing of the "Sean Hannity" show on Fox Cable News, Hannity hosted two Catholic priests and a female Fox religion commentator to discuss the Robertson issue. This show inadvertently shed light on the division in the Christian church between those who will follow God's directives and those who choose not to.
Of the two priests, one (also a Fox commentator) was clearly of a leftist bent. He tried to make the case that homosexuality is not sin if it is not acted upon. That twisted logic is employed by many proclaimed Christians grappling with how to accept homosexuality for personal reasons in light of God's condemnation of it. The second priest (obviously biblically directed) immediately followed with the biblical truth that the inclination to homosexuality itself is condemned by God. He compared the inclination to that of Hannity's lusting after a female, if he chose to do so. Pope Benedict XVI, who preceded the current Pontiff, described homosexuality as a "disordered orientation," allowing for the fact that the behavior can be "ordered" if the homosexual chooses to seek help, obviously from God and, if necessary, from medical professionals.
A moment of deafening silence ensued between the two priests, with a disapproving look from the leftist. He seemed perturbed at having been countered by the other priest. There was no nodding of the head in agreement. It turns out that the priest with the leftist view of Scripture has a homosexual sister in a "union" with another woman.
Frank Camp, a commentator posting at the Last Resistance blog site (12/23/2013), states that the latest strike by the Left against Christians (in the person of Phil Robertson) is a defining moment in time. He predicts, and I agree, that this moment is only one of many coming in the near future as the agenda of the Left becomes more and more hostile toward "average American values." He describes the current circumstances as what happens when Americans get angry and do something about it. As does Mr. Camp, I think there is a power embodied in righteously indignant anger that can take down any foe. That foe, in our time, comprises the Left (in all its manifestations, particularly its defiance against Almighty God); elitists, those in power and those claiming power that they do not deserve (such as Democrats, establishment Republicans, and the media including the Fox News cadre of liberals and faux-conservatives); and other anti-God, anti-American forces that have long sought America's destruction from within.
I truly hope that Phil Robertson has started a different movement, one that is not political but expressive of patriotic America saying "Enough."
Before this nation's founding, a group of pilgrims were able to escape the repression of the Church of England by seeking safe haven in a new territory. There are no more new worlds. There is nowhere else to run, and there will be no coming together in peaceful coexistence. The reason is that Christians are being required to do what we will not and cannot do defy God for the sake of a corrupt, rotting culture. And not all Christians will passively bow to force.
This space called America cannot be concurrently occupied by the existing opposing worldviews. How this tragedy that is the destruction of America will play out remains to be seen, but I predict that it will not end peacefully.

Appeasement ALWAYS leads to war.
I’m not sure Obama wouldn’t enjoy a nice world war.
If I had a free hand to rewrite the Bible, I would write it quite differently than God did (and, obviously, not nearly as well). That is why I thank God that he created scripture for us, and we get to follow His guidance.
In other words, it’s time to kick leftist ass. Cool, 2ndDivisionVet. And can we please reject all the GOPe surrender monkeys who will post on this thread. I’ve had a bellyful of these Karl Rove Neo Con worms.
“Expect to see a massive wave of Federal Court rulings in the first three (3) months of 2014 against Christian business and schools.”
So?
Until you trap a leftist in a dark parking lot with no witnesses around and read him the riot act, you will never know how weak these purse-carrying wimps are.
According to the census bureau gays are only 2-4% of the opulation. I have asked people where I live many, many times what percentage of the population do they think is comprised of gays. The answer has consistently been in the 20-50% range. When I tell them it is 2-4% they all have the same reaction that there must be a mistake and that this cannot be right. The fact is the gay movement is doomed because ther just are not enough of them.
Nor can they be fruitful and multiply, can they?
From the article: “...Robertson did not compare homosexuality to bestiality, God did.”
I don’t think that Robertson intended that; he seemed to describe a progression of sin. However, in Leviticus 20, homosexual acts and bestiality are separated by just one verse.
“Wake me when the shooting starts. I suspect I will be in for a LONG, LONG wait.”
No kidding.
Re: Your Post #15:
Yup.
.Really. Who do you think will beat her?
“such as Cracker Barrel”
Cracker Barrel. They are lame in my opinion. All they did was panic because they were afraid because a few homos might picket their stores. They should have learned from Chick-fil-A. So what if a few homos picketed, because a few thousand Duck fans would have counter protested with duck callers drowning out the homos! QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK!!
While I didn't see this segment, I'm guessing that the leftist priest is probably homosexual himself - - but doesn't act upon his impulses.
They recruit.
O’Malley from Maryland.
I do, unless another viable female candidate arises, because I think there are a number of Dems who feel that their easiest way to victory is to do a full court press on “its time for a woman” they same way they did on “its time for a black”.
But the irony is that in a year where it should be that the GOP should be able to run a shovel and win against whoever the Democrats run, the reality is probably closer to the opposite. The moochers simply have the votes.
Most of us on FR believe in God, and have likely questioned why He has allowed our country to go the way it has. Maybe, just maybe, it will deteriorate to allow something better to spring from the ashes. That is my hope anyway.
True. But subject to going AWOL. And not as efficient a means of reproduction as the natural process.
And the Republicans will try to "out-diverse" the Dems. George W. Bush was the last white, Christian, male President we will ever have.
