In its quest to narrow free speech and neutralize its political opponents, the Left is whipping up hysteria about “extremism” raging across the land. This hyperbole is designed to lay the groundwork for the persecution of the philosophically and religiously conservative. The term “extremist” is thrown around very loosely, covering everybody from “libertarians” to “Christian nationalists.” The latter group is the subject of increasingly frenzied discussions on cable TV and in dominant newspapers. Sometimes reporters lengthen the description of the group to “white Christian nationalists” to make it sound even more sinister. All of this inflammatory talk, naturally, comes from the same liberals who decry the “intemperate rhetoric” of Trump and normally scold others for “baseless claims.”
Indeed, the loudest and wildest references to “extremism” come from Obama-era figures, such as John Brennan, who famously refused to apply that label to the violent branches of Islam. It “is a religion of peace,” Brennan, Eric Holder, and others in the Obama administration would insist after every Islamic terrorist attack. Holder wouldn’t even let his Justice Department refer to Islamic terrorism. “Radical Islam, Islamic extremism — I’m not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that,” Holder was quoted as saying.
The Left grants no such courtesies to Christianity.

You might as well have a TARGET tattooed across your forehead. I have told my husband for YEARS the same thing. so tragic and sad.
We listened to Charles Stanley sermon on tv today. I don’t know what denomination he is, but very good sermon. He was talking about how we have turned away from God, as a nation. Like when Pharoh did.
And although the democrats are in charge of the government right now... and he did not say anything Political, no name calling... he said whomever is turning away from God will have to face up to it at some point.
Our culture, our hearts, our dress, etc.
I was thinking about the military junta in DC and the abortion of innocents....
