The news out of Vietnam demonstrates a reality which few acknowledge these days when we mistakenly think we have become so “enlightened”, the existence of evil. It demands immediate global responsive action. There is a new “Vietnam War” underway. The enemies of life, freedom and true liberation are killing Catholic priests in Vietnam!
The leftover remnant of the discredited and inhuman ideology of Maoism is now turning its ire against what has always been its greatest enemy, the only true humanism, the Christian faith. The fullness of that Christian faith, with the only systematic social development of the implications of that new and true humanism which can inform a new social movement, is the Catholic faith. That is why the denizens of death and the carriers of such a discredited ideology as Marxism have decided to strike against the Catholic Church by striking its shepherds and trying to scatter the sheep. (Zech 13:7)
Old Marxists never die, they just recreate themselves. Claiming, as their founders did, that the new man (or new woman) can somehow be created through a Statist manipulation of the political and economic order, they keep morphing into new expressions and pushing their old lies. In an age which has become what Pope Benedict rightly labeled a “dictatorship of relativism”, rejecting all truth claims, they are finding traction once again.
Yet, in Vietnam, they have not changed all that much in their message or their means. Marxism, and its evil clone, the anti-life, anti-freedom and anti-human ideology of the cultural revolution of the former tyrant, the Chairman Mao Zedong, continue to enforce their agenda through State sponsored violence. Their greatest enemy is still the only champion of true freedom, the Catholic Church and the message which she proclaims of true human liberation in Jesus Christ.

T’is really my distinct honor and privilege to post my reminders here about something that has always meant a lot to me =
FREEDOM for Vietnam
If only http://www.Freerepublic.com were here for us when we Vietnam Vets came home,
Vietnam would still be FREE today..!!!
.
NEVER FORGET
.
Yes it would! God bless you and all those who fought and died to bring freedom to the Vietnamese people!

NEVER FORGET

It has been my distinct honor to also be closely connected to a most FREEDOM Loving Vietnamese American Community in Little Saigon, CA. for years.
They always ask me to express to my fellow Vietnam Vets their undying gratitude for our having fought on behalf of their FREEDOM long ago.
And to all present and past American Soldiers who are and have been fighting for FREEDOM around the world.
For who knows better the value of FREEDOM than those who have had it violently taken from them..?

How dare you insinuate that the objectively baseless morality of atheism would justify killing peoople because they believe in God. While that may be easily justifed as “reasonable” to them, surely these superior rational humans would not do such a thing. Just ask Mao, or Pol Pot. http://reformed-theology.org/html/issue06/governments.htm

Yet the most damnable killer is a false gospel, such as holds that the merit of work may work in gaining justification before God. And the Vietnamese gov. also persecutes and kills evangelical Christians who preach the gospel of grace.
Amen. Please tell them from someone who lived through that era but who was not privileged to be in the military then - that I am glad they have survived and came here to experience freedom - but that we need their help to stay free. We are losing our freedoms fast thanks to the Demonrats in Congress and elsewhere. Ask them to get out and let others hear the horrors that they lived through...though they probably do this already.
And tell them God bless them!

The Vietnamese Communists do not care what anyone thinks about what they are doing to the people and country of Vietnam. Only about controlling and abusing both.
As those who really do care about Vietnam, the Free Vietnamese Communities abroad, have to endure watching from afar as Vietnam’s riches are being turned over to Communists abroad to pay for their past funding of Communist North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
Even Vietnam’s General GIAP gets it now:
Vietnam hero general takes on the Communist Party
