One take away from the article is very poignant, it’s a rare thing when reading a hit piece that something so salient is ridiculed so lightly. The author spills his own sail.

“”When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what’s left is the French Revolution. What’s left is a government that gives you rights. What’s left are no unalienable rights. What’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the guillotine. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from that, but if we follow the path of President Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America, then we are headed down that road.””
“Each citizen would then be completely independent of all his fellow men, and absolutely dependent on the state.”-Jean Jacques Rousseau
And for those who haven’t read it, Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities is a worthwhile historical novel to read (or re-read with today’s world and the above in mind) to give a peek into that time.
