The Democratic Cold War on Christianity Heating Up
American Thinker ^ | November 25, 2019 | Fletch Daniels

Posted on 11/26/2019 4:49:35 AM PST by NCjim

One of the great unknowns in terms of the future electorate is the effect the Democrats’ increasingly radical anti-faith stance will have on its voting coalition.

Black and Hispanic Democrats tend to be far more religious than the white Democrats who are driving the party’s agenda. Will this alliance hold as the party increasingly kowtows to vocal anti-Christian Marxists? Will these voters start to defect as Democrats intensify their open war on people of faith?

These questions arose this week when the sad story emerged that Chick-fil-A would no longer support three mainstream Christian-based charities; the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Paul Anderson Youth Home, all under the auspices that they are anti-LGBTQ.

A local public school is taking a “diverse” approach to the “winter holidays” this year. They are celebrating Hannukah, celebrating Kwanzaa, celebrating Eid al-Fitr, and celebrating Divali.

The one holiday they explicitly will not celebrate is Christmas. Not allowed. School principal was very clear. Seems it’s a First Amendment thing.

It's a mystery to me how someone can belong to the church yet vote demoncrat.

AH! you noticed! the left is trying to eliminate Christianity! They are promoting *slam instead. *slam is growing exponentially thanks to welfare payments, a high birth rate, and the fact that having 4 wives is tolerated and allowed.

Start making demands instead of the usual conservative giving up half and calling it victory.

I’m not worried about it.

Matthew 16:15-20 King James Version (KJV)
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

They’re all doing that now

The new standard for “ inclusion” is leaving out any mention or celebration of Christmas as a Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Christ. Because nonChristians feel “ excluded”

Sorry but not sorry for butthurt people who are invited to the party but choose not to attend and then complain that they are offended by the guest of honor

The Bourgeois Socialists. Karl would’ve spit on them too, but they’re trying to curry favor.

Liberty(right Rush?)/Freedom/Individuals/Christianity paid a heavy price to get into The Collectivist’s Cup. It battled down the backstretch but broke down in the far turn (they shoot horses don’t they?). Down the stretch it was Marx vs. Mohammed. At the wire it was Mohammed by a head.

Analysis of “Milestones” - Sayyid Qutb (VERY fascinating book if you have the time)

Qutb’s ideological consequence has been compared to that of Hitler and he has been deemed “as significant [to Islamism] as Lenin was to Communism.” The sweeping influence of Qutb’s work has earned him the designation of “[the radical Islamic] Karl Marx” and, unequivocally, “the Arab world’s first important theoretician of the Islamist cause.”

Let's hope they do. That's all they need to finish off the Party of Hate and Evil and its long, ugly history from slavery to infanticide. Let's hope the Democrat Party condemns itself permanently to the garbage dump of history where it belongs.

What we are witnessing is literally an aspect of the 1966 Democrat Cloward - Pivon expanded humanist/socialist scociologist strategy, just being generationally applied to every aspect of society, to hasten and force the perfect anti-Christian big goverent socialist society.

Can’t simultaneously have a moral and thoroughly individually responsible self reliant society, and a docile and dependant big government reliant society at the same time!

One has to be eradicated. Guess which one...

It was literally written and spoken democrat party (socialist) strategy!

Similar (or even more strident anti-Christian) strategy was written of by members of the Wilson Administration, going so far as to create offices and agencies, and even legislatively, which would serve to break down morality, and to help break up the “family unit”, as this was widely recognized as the real impediment to socialist society, and global governance.

The Democrats have lonnnngggg been anti-Christian, pro abortion and covetous socialism, so the folks who CLAIM to be Christian who vote Dem will continue to vote Dem. It’s pure ignorance. Not going to change.

I remember “reporters” (like Sam Donaldson ABC News, or later in time Chris Matthews PMSNBC), bragging about the success of “Democrats”, in continually pushing both legislatively, and through the Judiciary, radical left wing [anti-Christian] policy/social engineering objectives, of which House and Senate Republicans would always consider it a victory, just to get the Democrats to compromise, and not go “all the way”!

Think about that...

Presidents Johnson, Clinton, and Obama were very reliant and successful utilizing this strategy.

Of course the *joke was on the Republican Party*, as the social and economic “progressives” would in time, actually be forcing the “right” to compromise, until the morally depraved socialist had it all!

Amd as time passes, the younger generations become absolutely clueless as to how they have been molded into anti-Christian docile pawns, to hasten their own societal breakdown, and to embrace their own subjugation to socialist authoritarian governance.

The left is truly evil.

Politics is one front of the war. Political correctness tyranny is another.
