I’ve written several columns in this space about the weird media meltdown in response to new U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. First, journalists rushed to tell on themselves by mocking the fact that Johnson and his son use Covenant Eyes, an accountability software designed to help people keep their lives porn-free. Then there was the spate of stories breathlessly informing us that Johnson, a self-confessed Christian, does in fact believe all sorts of Christian things. The term “Christian nationalist” has been chucked about quite a bit, although what those using it actually mean is “Christian in the public square.”
But the ante, as they say, has been upped. James Carville, the famous Democrat political strategist who helped engineer Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential victory, went on HBO’s Realtime with Bill Maher to discuss just how dangerous Mike Johnson and American Christians really are to the United States – as it turns out, very dangerous.

"Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house."
The House is in desperate need of light.
I would have preferred Speaker Johnson keep his faith or religion private.
Making it a public matter distracts attention away from what he is doing on the job.
The so-called “damning” religious statement he made recently
was an allegory......not a political truism.
We need to accommodate his politics and recognize his
religious allusions are not embedded in his politics.
Just as we accommodate the secular meanderings
of those on Capitol Hill who reject religion.
Yes it does. It is probably the most misquoted amendment too, because lefties like to try to make it something it is not. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Banned dnc communism in Russia
No fascist diversity supremacists
Not too much freedom - pluralism either
Well, there is a reason both parties fought so hard to keep Jim Jordan out of the Speaker’s chair.
“Christian nationalist”
A derogatory term constructed for the sole purpose of bludgeoning Christians into silence.
On the other hand, he is a national leader and the country consists of many different faiths. Ergo, he needs to lead all the people.
And FWIW, spreading the Gospel to people of other faiths often requires a soft touch.
Persecution is coming. You can see it now.
This Country has grown far more evil than I could have ever imagined.
“Revelation” - singular.
Like Billy Graham on the steps of the capital?
Bttt
Your explanation of “argumentum or reductio ad absurdum” of pathological Big Liars perfectly defines the reprobate mind. Thanks you two, for giving me insight into the tactics of the psychopaths I’m currently dealing with. This is exactly what they do to twist innocent actions into something evil to serve their narrative.
Because the Left has eliminated critical thinking and has replaced it with emotion, the only way they can argue is by becoming hysterical.

They’re exactly the kind of knuckle draggers that eventually engage in barbaric atrocities such as Hamas has done. But don’t worry, they’re vastly outnumbered by men all over the world who are ready, willing, and able to exterminate them.
Naturally those following Satan will see Christians (in reality, Jesus Christ) as most dangerous.
GREAT POST!! Thanks so much!!
“a guy like this who is beyond the Christian mainstream”??

Really? How so?
Half of the godless ‘Rat Party claim to be Catholic (e.g. Nancy Pelosi) and they believe that they own the Catholic Church... maybe they do.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There are millions of people around the world who were baptized in the Church and profess to be Catholics who are no more truly Catholic than Satan herself. There’s even one in the Vatican currently soiling the Chair of Peter!
Trump did it with a great degree of style.

Trump in my view epitomizes a man, and a leader, best characterized by the word “panache”!
Christianity could well be seen as a serious threat to their lifestyle by Satanist, progressive anti-Americans.
