Corporate America is “woke.” “Woke” means being aware of alleged social injustice – sometimes that injustice is real, but sometimes it’s just a contrived media narrative that stokes fear to gain viewers. Now, instead of just pitching their products, companies today are pitching political causes. Liberal political causes. Shampoo makers like Pantene used to run commercials about shampoo. Now they’re showing lesbian parents helping a biological boy become a girl. Dove is celebrating women’s different body types. Vaseline is “fighting for equity in skincare.” The gay agenda now has the support of the Oreo cookie. And Burger King is warning...

CNN host Don Lemon said nobody is perfect, not even Jesus Christ. During a conversation with network host Chris Cuomo on Monday night, Lemon said that much of history taught to children is "propaganda" and revised basic biblical doctrine by saying Jesus, the central figure of Christianity, was "not perfect." "Jesus Christ — if that's who you believe in, Jesus Christ — admittedly, was not perfect when he was here on this Earth," Lemon said. "So, why are we deifying the founders of this country, many of whom owned slaves?" "No one is perfect. Nothing is perfect. Not even the...

Minnesota public schools encourage students to pray, but only if they’re Muslim Well this is just plain hypocritical: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/how-one-minnesota-school-district-handles-a-rising-immigrant-population/How one Minnesota school district handles a rising immigrant populationMarch 23, 2016In the district’s middle and high schools, Muslim students have access to private rooms with prayer rugs for the five daily prayers.

NBC Nightly News offered two stories on Christmas in their December 25 newscast, including a show-ender about “what Christmas means to me.” Substitute anchor Tamron Hall offered this introduction: “Finally, on this special night, a question: What does Christmas mean to you? Maybe it’s the presents, the lights, the music, or getting together with family. We put the question to people around the country and discovered once against that Christmas means something a little different to everyone.” Somehow, this perfectly pleasant three-minute segment included lot of talk about family time and presents, and even someone saying “Happy Hanukkah,” but included...

Those familiar with the Washington Post know that the paper is a staunch defender of a very liberal vision of the separation of church and state. For example, the paper's editorial board was heavily critical of the Supreme Court's Mojave cross ruling. But when it comes to the supposed dearth of Muslim chaplains at Virginia prisons, Sunday's Metro section went into full hand-wringing mode. "Inadequate Funds for Chaplains," complained a subheader for the page B1 story by staffer Kevin Sieff.

This year, America is receiving a subliminal holiday message that Nativity scenes pose a more imminent threat than Gitmo detainees being tried on American soil. Regardless of personal Christmas traditions, most Americans agree that the Nativity visually represents the biblical story of Jesus’s birth. Thus, controversial crèche issues are not about Christmas, but Christianity. Founding Father Thomas Jefferson said that “[t]he Bible is the cornerstone of liberty … Students’ perusal of the sacred volume will make us better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands.” Who could have foreseen the First Amendment becoming a secular platform to warn public schoolchildren to...

In the Telegraph poll, one in five said they had faced “opposition” at work because of their beliefs. Over half said they had suffered from some kind of “persecution” at...

Jeb Bush yesterday in his announcement that he would intervene again in the case of Terri Schiavo, is a neurologist and bioethicist whose life and work have been guided by his religious beliefs.

October 30, 2003 - The text of Rep. Smith's opening statement: Recently, there has been a dangerous erosion of religious tolerance in the Federal judicial nominations process. Article Six of the United States Constitution, referred to as the Religious Test Clause, prohibits religion from being used as a test for any office or public trust in the United States. The protections contained within the Religious Test Clause logically extend to presidential nominees presented to the U.S. Senate for confirmation, including judicial nominees. The underlying bias shown towards judicial nominees with “deeply held beliefs” or “strongly held convictions” is a disturbing...

Well, I just got off the phone with my mom and guess what? California has done it again. More liberal bias, more religious persecution, and anti-freedom-of-speech antics! My sister who is a senior at Scripps Ranch High School is required to do a "Senior Exhibition," for her 90% of her grade for a certain class. This presentation was to be about organizing a large event. The event could be anything the student chooses, but has to be something that will have a relative large attendance. My lovely sister being the good conservative Christian girl that she is decided to plan...
