Unhealthy contamination?

Unhealthy contamination?

© 2002 Linda Bowles

According to Newsweek's Howard Fineman, it is the intention of the Democrat Party to launch an all-out political attack on conservative Christians during the next election cycle. In a recent article, Fineman writes that "Democrats are planning a daring assault on the most critical turf in politics: the cultural mainstream."

Democrats will accuse the Republican Party of being out of the mainstream because it is under the control of the "religious right," a force within America that mirrors the bigotry of the Taliban and does not "honor the ideals of tolerance – religious, sexual, racial, reproductive – at home." The New York Times is cooperating by referring to Islamic radicals as "the religious right."

As vicious as this seems at first glance, it should come as no surprise. For more than 40 years, the heathen left have successfully executed a systematic, step-by-step dismantlement of a structure of morals and values carefully put in place to protect the history, heritage and cultural identity of America.

Our books, movies, art, television and music are a unified chorus of smut and anti-social messages. We curse in public places; the media make celebrities of serial murderers; our children are taught about condoms in the third grade; the Boy Scouts are under attack to embrace atheists and homosexuals; the family is being legally undermined; churches are pressured to rewrite scriptures to accommodate those who are proud of their transgressions; religious apartheid is officially sanctioned and practiced by the government; and bewildered taxpayers are told they have no choice but to pay for liberal propaganda, blasphemous art and pornography on public television.

In his new book "The Death of the West," Pat Buchanan describes what has happened with these chilling words: "In half a lifetime, many Americans have seen their God dethroned, their heroes defiled, their culture polluted, their values assaulted, their country invaded, and themselves demonized as extremists and bigots for holding on to beliefs Americans have held for generations."

A few years ago, Dr. James C. Dobson, president of Focus on the Family, reminisced about the way America was in 1954 when he graduated from high school. In searching through the news archives, he came across a statement made by Earl Warren, chief justice of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Warren, remembered as a liberal jurist, was quoted in Time magazine on Feb. 15, 1954, as follows:

I believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the Good Book and the spirit of the Savior have from the beginning been our guiding geniuses ... I believe the entire Bill of Rights came into being because of the knowledge our forefathers had of the Bible and their belief in it: freedom of belief, of expression, of assembly, of petition, the dignity of the individual, the sanctity of the home, equal justice under law, and the reservation of powers to the people.

Less than 50 years later, if a nominee to the Supreme Court today said what Chief Justice Warren said, he would not have any chance at all of being confirmed by the Senate. He would be considered too extreme to interpret the Constitution.

He would come under immediate and heavy attack by the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Organization for Women, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Education Association, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation League, Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, the National Council of Churches, various organizations dedicated to the promotion of illegal immigration, and assorted other self-righteously outraged constituencies of the Democrat Party.

If a teacher in a public school in America today, in general assembly or in a history class, were to say what Supreme Court Justice Warren said, that teacher would be labeled a mean-spirited racist bigot, accused of spewing hate in the classroom, and sent to "sensitivity" training for the purpose of erasing the completely unacceptable idea that there might be something unique or superior in the way the United States of America came into being.

In a larger sense, anything having to do with religion – particularly the symbols and ideas of the Christian religion – has been treated like an unhealthy contamination, and systematically exorcised out of what has come to be called the public (as opposed to the private) sector. Unfortunately, essentially everything in the country has been declared to be in the "public" sector and hence subject to unconstrained state control.

Perhaps the greatest challenge facing America today is whether people of faith will allow themselves to be quarantined.

Nothing like telling it like it is.
Chalk this up to the Clinton legacy, where the oval office became a whore house for liberals.

Here is Bush, a born-again Christian, president with the highest sustained approval ratings in history, and the democrats think it is a strategy to demonize religious belief?

They don't have anything left. Maybe they're going for broke?

This is great news. One of the good things to come out of the attack on 9/11, if there is such a thing, recognizing the terrible loss of life, was the awakening of America to the fact that there are things more precious than material goods and little hand-outs from our favorite politician.

This is not good for our Democrat's vote buying schemes. Comparing the Christian Right to the Taliban and trying to divide the majority of the public is not going to go over real well in this atmosphere.

Oh please dimocrats, bring it!

In Southeast Texas the sheeple are overwhelmingly democrats and also mostly born-again Christians.

I can see it now.

LibKill: "You know the Democrats are comparing Christians to the Taliban?

Democrat: "So?"

LibKill: "You're a Christian, born-again, right?"

Democrat: "Yes!"

LibKill: "They mean you, how do you feel about that?"

I don't expect that this will turn Christian dims into conservatives, but it may make them stay home on election day.

Again the New York Times comes in with more "negative evidence" that demonstrates that they were behind the Anthrax Attack.

And the Christians burned Rome, the Jews were parasites of Hitler's Germany and Republicans can't be Christians like Hillary says.

S'ok...I have a plan too.

I'm going to tell the truth about them...the truth that they are a bunch of socialist trash; completely in thrall to NAMBLA, the homosexual lobby, the abortion industry (that has never seen an abortion they didn't like), the Trial Lawyers, (who constantly drive up the costs of the things we buy), etc., etc., ad nauseum...

I'm going to tell the truth...that if they had their way, they would collect 100% of every dollar we earn; since they believe with all their hearts that all of the money belongs to the government (i.e. THEM); not the people who grow the food, build the products, and provide the services that make this the best country in the world to live in.

I'm going to tell the truth; that they are in cahoots with 'people' like Larry Flint and the rest of the pornographers, who would destroy families with their filth, and rob children of their precious innocence.

I'm going to tell the truth; that the Democrats have become the party of radical feminism, radical homosexuals, radical abortionists and perpetrators of infanticide, radical statists of every stripe, radical enviromentalists...who want to control our thoughts, our land, our speech, our worship, our children, our money, and even what food we put into our bodies.

I'm going to tell the truth; that any American who votes for a Democrat in the year of our Lord, 2002, is voting for those who would eviscerate our national defense, if we would let them. (After all, 9-11 was the result of eight years of the Clinton Administration's big carrot, little stick foreign policy.)

Let them paint us right wing extremists...it won't work. But it will be easy to make the case for Democrat extremism, simply because it's true...and the Truth is more powerful than anything they have ever imagined.

How could the United States call themselves a Christian nation when they had a president like Clinton doing such things while in office? And if that is what Christian is.....

So this is what other countries think of us after 8 yrs of his garbage!?

The dims will cut their own throat if they do this.

Linda Bowles is a tremendous conservative Christian essayist. Her analyses and roll call of the main purveyors of anti-Christian, anti-conservative, anti-freedom American values, of course sanctioned by the D-Rats, is absolutely right on...

Can anyone of sound mind and judgement refute the fact that that Republicans vs. Democrats has certainly evolved into an ideological battle between good vs. evil not only for the soul of America, but of the world?
