THE OTHER LIMBAUGH: NEW BOOK CALL TO ARMS AGAINST 'CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION'

**THE RELIGIOUS WAR IS NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, IT IS IN THIS COUNTRY!

**IN 1776, 99.8% OF THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA WERE PROFESSED CHRISTIANS

The new season may be only one day old but the most controversial book of the season may just be: David Limbaugh's PERSECUTION: HOW LIBERALS ARE WAGING WAR AGAINST CHRISTIANITY.

Limbaugh enters a very crowded new book release week [O'Reilly, Albom], but the nationally syndicated columnist and brother of Rush has delivered a crushing blow with a charge that liberals in courts, government, media and Hollywood oppress Christianity and anything Christian.

The book ranked 3,057 on AMAZON's hitparade Monday afternoon. Publisher REGNERY plans 100,000 copies in its initial run.

*A New Jersey teacher was forced by an ACLU suit to abandon plans to take children to see the Broadway version of “A Christmas Carol.”

*School officials in Windsor, Virginia prohibited two graduating seniors from singing “The Prayer,” a popular song sung by Celine Dion, among others. When the students raised their first amendment rights, the school announced there would be no singing of any sort at the graduation ceremony.

*In April 2001, the Logan County Public Library in Bowling Green, Kentucky, fired employee Kimberly Draper for wearing a necklace with a cross pendant to work

With PERSECUTION, Limbaugh ups the ante in the intensifying media/culture battle. He was warns the reader in his introduction:

"This book chronicles discrimination against Christians in American society. While tolerance is touted as the highest virtue in our popular culture, Christians are often subjected to scorn and ridicule and denied their religious freedoms."

I wonder which method of selling books is more effective: Oprah Winfrey slapping her "I Approve" label on the cover, or Matt Drudge posting one Internet article about it?

[paulklenk]

By the way, Limbaugh's book has risen from number 3,057 on Amazon's hitparade, to number 91, in just one afternoon.

Oprah, eat your heart out (but not until you've finished cramming nine helpings of barbecue down our cake hole).

Looking forward to reading this. David is as good a writer as his bro is a talker.

I would say most of Oprah's fans don't read books they watch tv, while ALL of Drudge's readers actually read....

Gee, duh, I'll guess Drudge......

Hi, pumpkin! Thanks for keeping this bumped.

Say hi to the class -- and why not ping them to this thread while you're at it?

[My2Cents]

You're question is rhetorical, isn't it?

**THE RELIGIOUS WAR IS NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, IT IS IN THIS COUNTRY!

We'd all be well to recognize that whether we're talking about the War on Terror, or the battles over domestic politics here at home, have both become spiritual conflicts.

While we're on the subject:

DEPORT HILLARY!

This book chronicles discrimination against Christians in American society. While tolerance is touted as the highest virtue in our popular culture, Christians are often subjected to scorn and ridicule and denied their religious freedoms.

Like I've said: The genocide and hate-crime laws are in place--just needing a federal judge(royalty) decreeing what the Constitution meant concerning sexual orientation.

I would like to invite all Admin Moderators, from the Land of Fresno Where the Shadows Grow, to post to this thread with their insight, witticisms and blithe comments.

A light lunch will be served after.

Hmmmm. . . I think the thesis is overstated. The liberal assault on Christianity is actually directed against Evangelicals and Catholics.

The 'ecumenicals' are actually part of the attack. Catholics and Evangelicals tend to point out uncomfortable facts to the ecumenicals, like scripture. This is not appreciated by churches that want to change Christianity into just another new-age religion.

The 'ecumenicals' are part of the leftist establishment. They are important since they provide cover to people like Billary. It's important to liberals to be able to keep up the pretense of being Christians while attacking the tenents of Christianity by attending ecumenical Churches carrying Bibles they have never opened.

If we define Christianity to mean bible based Christianity, then Limbaugh's thesis is not overstated.

Well, thank you for posting it. While this is an important book, it frustrates me, because what can anyone do about this increasing influence of the Seculofascists in our society?

I have to go with Drudge, I am thinking about purchasing the book.
