The ‘Secular Crusader’: Former Air Force JAG Looks to Drive All Christian Symbolism from Military
Very well written and well thought out Timothy. On one point I have to disagree with you – I think Christians are being persecuted in this country. Certainly not to the point of being jailed or stoned for their beliefs – but in light of all the mis-truths about Christianity and the ‘war’ being waged against it in the name of ‘offended’ – yes it is under attack – and attack is persecution is it not?
As you are probably aware – this is a war of resentment (and attrition) on the part of the left/progressives. For the past 100 years they’ve been increasingly (progressively) successful at obfuscating real history in favor of their own version – to the point where – among other things – school text books no longer mention Christianity and the Founding Fathers on the same page. Nowhere has their point of attack been more vociferous than when it comes to the religious beliefs of our Founding Fathers. The ‘big question’ – were the Founding Fathers Christian – and more specifically – were they guided by Christian principles when they wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Of course they were – we – and progressives – know this. They just can’t admit to themselves that such truths are self-evident. They wish to obliterate these truths with their own – that this is not a nation under God.
Slowly – painfully (for me) – they are winning. (Will we let them?)
Why? For that you have to look at the situation from their perspective. They know that the last thing most Christians wish to do is offend anyone. They however – have no such qualms – this gives them the upper hand right off the bat. Feigning offense at every turn has gotten them to the point we are at now – as this article so eloquently points out. Their goals are in sight – and with help (dare I say encouragement?) of the bully pulpit and the Bully in Charge — Obama — they believe it’s simply a matter of ‘cleaning up’ the last remnants of the signs of offensiveness.
Personally I am offended at the actions of people like Weinstein who seem to have nothing better to do than go around finding things to be offended about. Since when did it become law that nobody should have to be offended?
You poke a finger in my chest and I’ll poke a fist in your face.
It is long past time to push back – and better late than never.
