The Left’s Use of Intimidation to Silence Christians
The Daily Signal ^ | January 23, 2019 | Katrina Trinko

If you’re Christian, shut up.

That’s been the unmistakable message of our current culture.

Karen Pence has been lambasted for her decision to teach at a Christian school. Sen. Hirono, D-Hawaii, after asking a judicial nominee about his membership in the Knights of Columbus, has tied the organization to the “alt right.”

And a group of teenage Catholic schoolboys waiting for a bus at the March for Life, who didn’t know the mob-approved way to handle a Native American activist walking up to them, are fighting for their reputations.

The liberal Left continue to push their radical agenda against American values. The good news is there is a solution.

Of course, this isn’t really about Karen Pence, or judicial nominee Brian Buescher, or the Covington Catholic High boys. It’s about intimidating everyone else.

It’s telling the husband or wife of an up-and-coming lawmaker that if they want to teach at a school, it’s probably better they choose a non-Christian one, unless they want their spouse someday ensnared in a media cycle over LGBT discrimination.

It’s telling the law student who dreams of someday becoming a judge that no matter how appealing he finds joining a Catholic charitable organization, it’s probably better for his career ambitions if he doesn’t.

And it’s telling schools and students and parents that no matter if they are willing to deal with the expense and trouble of hauling students to Washington on buses, it's still not a good idea—because the students’ future reputations, careers, and college prospects could all be gone with one viral video.

No, that wouldn’t happen if the students came to Washington to fight for gun control or raise awareness of climate change. Just if they’re there to speak up for the babies who can’t.

Good article. I'm not sure more push-back is going to save the day, however. We are probably past that point.

They don’t dare criticize Muslims for pedophilia, mutilation of young girls the treatment of women and honor killing their daughters. Its the evil Christians that are the problem. If we ever get to the point where somehow we lost the battle I will enjoy seeing these turncoats bieng butchered by the very people they supported and loved. Oh by the way the muslims will kill the gays, transgender and lesbians

If Christians were muslims, the left would be as afraid of them and dare not criticize them.

I’d change that the gutless nearly everybody says nothing. The church jumped in against the young men before they had the facts.

The kindling is barely lit. It’s going to get much worse. Jesus said we’d be persecuted in ALL nations for His name’s sake.

Sen. Hirono’s grandmother was probably Tokyo Rose. Sen. Hirono is fully as dangerous as Rep. AOC. If you watch her in any of the hearings where she appears — first of all, she is rude. Secondly, she talks non-stop, will not allow the witness to answer, and then jumps to conclusions after the witness has not been allowed to respond. Secondly, she showed her true colors when she pronounced Kavenaugh guilty before all the testimony was heard and further when she decided that no person who belonged to the Knights of Columbus was worthy of being a government appointee.

The very idea that she has announced before the world that its ok to discriminate on the basis of religion should make her ineligible to serve in the US Senate. She should be expelled on grounds that she has violated her oath of office by not upholding the Constitution of the United States.

If Emperor Nero couldn’t silence Christians with fire and hungry lions, If Stalin and his savagery could stamp them out I don’t think the liberals stand a chance. Remember they have God on there side.

“she talks non-stop, will not allow the witness to answer, and then jumps to conclusions after the witness has not been allowed to respond”

A standard Bolshevik tactic.

I didn’t know the possibility about Tokyo Rose.

I had cousins who flew on the 29’s off of Saipan. They were farmers from Nebraska.

Could you imagine telling them now that a woman like that was “an American” and the Senator from the State where the war started?

Too many Christians go the “Peter route” and claim fealty to Christ while denying Him when convenient to do so....
