"Liberals" and Christmas - (Colonel Bob Pappas on this urgent subject!)

Attacks by the ACLU, “liberals” and others who/that are likeminded, upon Christianity and its historical place in American politics, is clear evidence of the cultural civil war that rages in this country. Not a day goes by that more skirmishes of that war become evident, and the more that the enemy succeeds (but are they?), the more virulent they become.

The writer is well aware of the First Article of Amendment to the Constitution. He opines that without Christian founding leaders, whose objective in regard to religious liberty was to give all who worship the freedom to do so (but did not envision anti-Christian forces in America such as exist today), and likewise for those who choose not to, there would likely not be a “First Amendment.” The nonsensical argument that there must be a “wall of separation” between government and religion, comes from those who do not know the history of the country, the essence of the Christian religion nor the plain reading of the First Article of Amendment. (And yes, the writer is aware of Thomas Jefferson’s pronouncements on the subject, and concluded that Jefferson, like everyone was capable of making mistakes, had an anti-Christian bias and did not necessarily always in all things act or speak in the best interest of the nation.)

The emphasis of those who use the First Article of Amendment as a bludgeon against freedom of religious expression in the public “square,” is on the first part of the sentence pertaining to the establishment of religion, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,…” and they utterly ignore the second part, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” There is no limitation as to where or how that “freedom” can be expressed. On the contrary it “emphatically” proscribes any limitation on the “free exercise thereof.”

The “establishment clause” is used by courts, local governments and administrators reflecting wholly their own anti Christian biases to limit the “free exercise clause.” Why do “liberals” go bonkers at the President’s expressions of his Christian faith; and why else do so many so called, “Christian” political leaders’ toe the anti-Christian, neo Marxist line? Their evident objective is not to merely “erect a wall of separation,” it is to ban Christian influence from public life.

It is becoming increasingly evident that American “liberals” are actually power hungry neo Marxists, seeking to impose their anti-Christian views upon the Nation in the name of diversity. They open immigration doors to those whose fundamental views are the antithesis of the liberties that allow them to come to America to live, work and worship with the ultimate objective of destroying the traditional American way of liberty and all that entails.

Unfortunately, there is a large body of Americans who claim to be Christians but who know not the Nation’s history, its Christian heritage nor the essence of the Christian religion they profess. A recent article was published asserting that 83 percent of American adults believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, then the writer of that article proceeded to mock Christianity in the name of “tolerance.” Such articles are commonplace and are “shining” examples of how “liberals” work to undermine those who lack knowledge or the essence of their faith.

Among the world’s religions, Christianity and its derivatives is singularly notable for its foundation upon God’s love for His human creation. God’s love is so profound that He sent His Son to come and live among humanity, to teach it how to live and then to die for the sins of the whole world so that all might have the opportunity (one has to ask) for eternal life with Him in Heaven. God’s love is embodied in the simple and profound story of Christmas and Jesus’ life that most Americans celebrate at this time of year, and which the ACLU, “liberals,” anti-Christians, and other evil forces are hard at work to destroy. (Please overlook the redundancy where it exists.)

Those who know the facts and essence of the Christmas story must unite in fervent prayer that in this era of division that the reality of the “Jesus” story will ignite a great spiritual revival. Then and only then will America become reunited, “peace will have a chance,” it will remain the “land of the free and home of the brave,” and the light of freedom will burn brightly for countless future generations. Impossible? Only if one allows “liberals” in sheep’s clothing dupe them into thinking so. The questions then arise, which is stronger, good or evil? God or Satan? The Christmas story or “liberals?”

It has been over a month since I have participated in political dialogue—mainly because of “burn-out”. I realize we are all bombarded constantly via emails, newsletters, panic phone solicitations, and TV stories regarding politics.

There are several issues I feel compelled to bring up at this time, because they are repeatedly brought up in the News. I realize some of my friends are Liberals and/or Democrats, so, this will esp. be addressed to them. I respect the right to have differing views, and, whether we agree or disagree, we all need to be open to agreement on common sense principles.

1/ I have heard the redundant argument and accusation by Liberal talking heads and professors, that the less intelligent voted for Bush. I am humored by this, in light of the fact that if those with an IQ of 80 or less were disqualified from voting—Bush would have won in a LANDSLIDE! I challenge any Liberal reading this to disprove the reality of this demographic stat. The strength of Kerry’s support (look at the blue district’s highlighted map) was in the cities. The less educated reside in these precincts. As Neil Boortz (a Libertarian) says, “the lower your IQ, the more likely you are to vote Democrat.” The motivation is primarily their desire to feed off the largess of the government. It doesn’t take a lot of brains to be manipulated by a Party who promises to take care of you.

2/ I am also tired of hearing the deceptive argument by the Left that “the Republicans are the Party of the Rich.” And, that “the Democrats are the Party of compassion and the working man.” This, needless to say, is utter nonsense. The Left raised millions of dollars more than the Republicans this last Election. Also, the majority of the super rich are Liberal (I could give a list of dozens, but, a here’s a sampling—Steven Spielberg, Peter Lewis, Warren Buffet, Steven Bing, Martha Stewart, George Soros, Michael Moore, etc.). By the way, is it not a logical question—if Liberals are so compassionate and giving, why do they own all these assets? Shouldn’t they be sharing with the poor and the homeless? Why do they all live in mansions, own several luxury cars, private jets, yachts, etc? Not only are they hypocritical in using excess energy as environmentalists, they are usually stingy when it comes to their own money.
Also, statistics showed recently that the Blue states gave less to charity than the Red states. The most generous people I know personally, are Conservatives. This isn’t to say that there aren’t many stingy ones. But, it is a stereotypical empty argument by the Left to put labels on us.

3/ Finally, there is an underlying theme during the Christmas season…although, I see an intensity like never before, to get rid of “religious” (esp. “Christian”) overtones in public. Now, I realize there are some Democrats who are as disgusted with the ACLU as Conservatives are. But, the ugly truth of secularism and it’s linkage to Liberalism (and specifically to the Democratic Party) needs to be faced eye to eye. Case in point, if there was any doubt as to where secularists threw their support in this last Election, look no further than John Kerry. His token religious gestures aside, they knew he was one of them.
Does anyone have any doubt that a Conservative judge would ever rule that “under God” in the pledge, singing “Silent Night”, or displaying a manger scene at an elementary school Christmas play is illegal? NO. We aren’t so stupid as to not know that it is Liberal judges across the country who are trying dissect God and biblical principles from mainstream America.
You also have an ideal case-study of the link between Liberalism and Secularism in our Universities. It is a fact that at least 80% of professors teaching humanities and social science courses are Liberal in their ideology. Of those approx. 80%, approx. 90% are atheists or agnostics. They see Christianity as archaic and a threat to “progress”. These same professors went ballistic when Kerry lost. They knew that a Kerry win would lead to more secularism, primarily via the installation of Liberal (i.e. secular) judges.
