when President Obama deemed Christian religious symbols too offensive to be seen during his economics speech at Catholic Georgetown University in April of 2009. The offending symbols, including the ancient monogram IHS representing Christ's name, were covered with a dark cloth. When Obama expressed that Christian religious symbols were too offensive to be seen during his economics speech Georgetown University should have suggested that Obama find another location for his speech.
Christian institutions should not tolerate denigration of their faith from politicians.

oh am outraged, been there (outraged) since Former President Reagan left office. The lawlessness and the propagation of lawlessness thrust upon the people of this nation by the New World Order is astounding, and still most sleep or say I'll have another forty winks. It works well if one wants to lose their country and their heritage.

Of what event or battle is that a depiction?
Do I perceive correctly that the British soldiers have the white-robed men tied to the front of the cannons?

Have reached another conclusion for all us lemmings out here, and I'll include myself as having been and am still a lemming. Being a lemming is easy. All one has to do is move FORWARD in the words of zer0 and the game is over. Now on to the part where one turns away from the cliff. One can die by being willing to go FORWARD with zer0 or one can turn away from the cliff and hope for the best. Whatever the decision one must know, if one says something while in line for the cliff, or if one turns away from the cliff, there will be others to either force that once a lemming either back into line to go FORWARD or then if that lemming refuses; guess what ... those with and in power may still kill that former lemming. There is safety in numbers sometimes, and sometimes moving FORWARD and / or turning is not in the best interest of the lemming and in the best interest of the lemming's family. Decisions ... Decisions.
Either way (over the cliff or turn away from the cliff) one could lose everything, including ones family. The powers that be will see to it if one of the lemmings steps out of line. Don't believe me ... There are many in past history and recent history one could ask, if they were still here with us and not dead. One should go seeking their family members also, if they survived.
Should a lemming step out of the line?

Blowing someone to pieces from the mouth of a cannon was an oft-used punishment for treason in India and during part of the British rule there. That painting is from the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, which finished off the old East India Company and brought in direct British rule of India.

When one compares the words in that post to the give me liberty or give me death attitude of our founding fathers one can get a sense of how far this country has fallen from the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Thank you CynicalBear. You have seen the objective of that post.

CynicalBear, I thought nobody was paying attention. Therefore I was wrong. My heartfelt thanks, CynicalBear. Each of us must strive to be eagles. Most of the time I find myself being a lemming. Am trying though (to be an eagle), as know you are also. Heck Cynical, I have been wrong many time before and probably did not recognize you are possibly an eagle. Good Luck in your flights, FRiend. May your wings uplift you and all you touch in thought, words, and good deeds. All of us must strive with our hearts, mind, and deeds to be Eagles. It is never easy, or even the Gop and democRATs could do it.

>>Now is the time for conservative churches to heed the wakeup calls and join the Catholic Church in protests before it is too late to do so.
Now is the time??? In 2008, only 26% of Evangelical Protestants voted for Obama (45% of all Protestants). In that same election, 54% of Catholics voted for Obama.
I agree that now is the time for all Christians to join in protest against the Boy King, but I’m worried that the Catholics (especially their leadership) will go back on the Obama bandwagon as soon as HHS agrees to exempt Catholic organizations from the contraceptive/abortion mandates.

I agree that now is the time for all Christians to join in protest It is time to drop the denomination labels and for those who worship in Truth and Spirit to stand together. America is in a spiritual battle. We must fight for the soul of this land.
Christ promises to fight our battles with us. Christians need to enlist and not fall back once they're in the battle to uproot evil. (Psalm 91)

I agree that it looks more like the Catholics are “waking up” and joining the rest of us after dallying with the party of St. John of Camelot for far too long.
I welcome them, but do not trust them to take the lead. Yet.

That was my point. I’ll stand with them, but they haven’t earned the right to lead America in a conservative Christian revolution.

That was my point. Ill stand with them, but they havent earned the right to lead America in a conservative Christian revolution. Exactly who has? Or rather which church has? My church is a member church of the S.B.C. and just like the Catholic church we have people in high places who are liberal and we have people who are conservative. The Christian church, whether Catholic or other, should be unified and speak with one voice against evil but at least in recent history that has not been the case.
Jesus will show us the cure for evil when He returns, until that time we, as individuals have to fight this fight on a personal, individual level, not counting on our separate, ununified churchs, as institutions, to back us.

To: Graybeard58; Bryanw92
Your post caught my eye Graybeard as the author of this OpEd said this:
The tendency among conservative believers to embrace a sort of survivalist, person-centered theology has been reinforced by the acceptance and promulgation of theological doctrines which separate faith from involvement with the world. Among many conservative Protestants, the theological concept of the Kingdom of God permeating, confronting, and informing earthly institutions has been sidelined in favor of a narrowly defined concept of salvation as personal only. The prophetic voices of Old and New Testament are sometimes considered as relevant only to their own times, not to our own times.

A good, strong article. I’ll have to get in touch with this Fay Voshell.
