I agree. For a slightly different reason. Given that Team 0bama is going after its opposition with the IRS—in political terms at this point—all 501(c)3 non-profits, including churches, are in the cross-hairs. I even read a story today that OWS types are protesting Catholic food banks. Can you imagine protesting a FOOD BANK?
The move is to make everything and every decision/policy come from an unelected, bureaucratic tyrant.
People don’t like the comparisons to the 1930s and so on, but if this isn’t it, I don’t know what is.
Recently, I was reading a UK blog. Someone posted that the US is a frightening place now and not worth going to anymore. How about that.
Remember, folks. Include a baby carrot and piece of lettuce in your child’s lunch. You could save the child from self-starvation while at school. Call it dictating while Child.
Hadn't heard about OWS, but Planned Parenthood is.
I prefer a comparison to México in the 1920s, although that persecution persisted through the 1930s in various forms in numerous states, and the Mexican government (of communist ideology) continued to conduct pogroms against her own people for decades thereafter.
The situation in Spain (España) in the 1930s was even more deadly for the Church but somewhat more complicated: not only a communist state and the Catholic Church but also greater proximity to the French Revolution, a monarchist party, and a fascist Falange who won with foreign intervention from Nazi Germany but ultimately proved quite benign.
The main difference is that our government is stronger and more powerful domestically, more capable of bureaucratically suppressing insurrection. I pray for the survival of this once-great country and of her people, including especially the innocent babies that this Administration desires deeply to poison, shred, or otherwise annihilate as inconvenient.
