The Winds of Coming Persecution

I am not the only one taking notice of the concerted efforts to equate Christians with Jihadists and nazis.

Ultimately, a secular Socialist society will lump all fundamentalist beliefs as terrorist threats to the state, as history has proven time and again.

What we read here are just more winds of the coming persecution of Christians and Jews.

American Theocracy Anyone?—Part One

“. . .Why do you not know how to interpret the present time?” (Luke 12:56)

American Theocracy Anyone?—Part One

Here begins a two-part commentary on the verbal bomb-throwing attack on evangelical Christians launched by those who are seemingly terrified that our real agenda is to turn America into some kind of right-wing Christian theocracy. I mean, these people are serious about this, and there are more than a few of them. In the last year or so there has been a spate of books published that are sounding the alarm against “a group of religious utopians, (who) with the sympathy and support of tens of millions of Americans, are slowly dismantling democratic institutions to establish a religious tyranny, the springboard to an American fascism” That quote from American Facists, by Chris Hedges.

Lest you think Chris is out there all by himself in la-la land, here are some other choice quotes: “Religious fanatics who run the country…are close to realizing their vision of heaven on earth: an American theocracy.” (Why the Christian Right is Wrong, Robin Meyers). “We must resist before the fundamentalists do what they have promised (and) turn the world’s oldest democracy into a theocracy ruled entirely by ‘righteous men’ ” (Mel White, Religion Gone Bad).

Never before has the country seen this kind of concerted effort to attack in writing what these authors call “the religious right.” And, their sentiments are certainly shared by most of the media, almost all of academia, and a huge percentage of the entertainment people, not to mention almost all of the political leadership to the left of George W. Bush.

The writers of these books, and their allies, are apparently truly afraid that the country is about to become ruled by evangelical and conservative fanatics who are only a tiny bit different from Iranian-type ayatollahs. In fact, they lump all evangelical Christians together with the Taliban and other Islamofacists as dangerous fundamentalists. Meyers calls his opponents “Christian facists” who “peddle a theology of hatred, condemnation, and cruelty.” And Wakefield considers people like us as “the new Taliban of America,” which renounces the Beatitudes of Jesus and “twist(s) the basic message of Christianity from love to hate.”

Jihad’s Trojan Horse

No surprise to me, but interesting how many have no clue, nor want a clue as to what is happening right under our noses.

Muslim charity trial sheds new light on terror aid

Evidence against Dallas group may link other U.S. organizations to financing for Hamas

Prosecutors have produced scores of documents, audio and videotapes, and intercepted phone calls in their attempt to prove that a Muslim charity based in a suburban Dallas office park was actually a fundraising arm of Middle Eastern terrorists.

One was Holy Land, which was shut down in December 2001 and is accused of being a fundraising front for Hamas….Another was the Islamic Association for Palestine….a third was the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, which has emerged as a leading advocacy group for American Muslims.

One of the documents is a memo about the goals for the U.S. organization of the U.S. faction of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose members included some of the Holy Land leaders now on trial.

The memo’s writer, Mohamed Akram, wrote that members of the Brotherhood “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.”

Sounds like the same strategy the Soviets wanted to employ.

Ought to be quite a show when the infiltrators of Communism have to duke it out with Muslim infiltrators and Mexican Infiltrators once their likeminded goal of wiping out American Christian Capitalists is achieved.

Separation of Church and Politics

This article from WND is part of the bread and butter reasons for this site.

As I chronicle in Recapturing Our Heritage – The Founders and Patriarchs of America were completely imbued with the idea of Christian principles being the foundation and practice of the community that would lend itself towards the governing of the Republic which sprang from a Christian heritage.

Today, with the successful lie that is now accepted as truth regarding the non-existent Constitutional dogma of “separation of Church and State”, a republic that was dependant on Christians and biblical morality to maintain liberty, has devolved into the Christian church itself separating from civil duty – surrendering the culture to the Secular Humanists that have replaced sound wisdom with debauchery and complete confusion about who and what if anything America is supposed to be and stand for.

All anyone can say is that America is for freedom.

But what kind of freedom?

Well, the freedom to do whatever satisfies your material and physical lusts. The freedom to be free of guilt and responsibility. The freedom to not be offended. The freedom to feel safe from your neighbor. And the freedom to help yourself to your neighbor’s wealth by using the government.

Today’s freedom has little in common with the liberty our Founders secured for us, and we can blame the devolution and collapse of our culture and the nation on one specific group of Americans: Christians.

Yup, you read me right. I said Christians are responsible for the mess this nation is in.

Why?

Because we divorced ourself from keeping this culture on track and fighting to keep Christian heritage, history and God front and center of our civic life.

Christians were intended to be the Jedi Knights of this Republic, but very much like Lucas’ last movie – we failed. We rested on our laurels and church basket offerings; bought into false doctrines of “judge Not” and “health/wealth” abandonment theology; crafted an entirely new Jesus to placate our desire for “blessings” and refused to stand for anything but our own little corner of the church maybe once a week or twice a year.

In a nation of supposedly 180 million Christians – less than 5,000 stood to protest the removal of God’s Commandments from Montgomery AL when ten times that number turn out to march for abortion, homosexual marriage, and other various so-called ‘rights’. Yet to stand for the first Amendment Right of Free Exercize of religion – there are but a hearty few willing to risk the ridicule and scorn, and the rest – silent and absent.

When 9 unelected Justices in black robes pound a gavel and decree: “Get God Out” – instead of following Peter’s example and declaring “It is better to obey God than men”, American Christians think the SCOTUS gavel is holy papal writ and therefore, hide behind their walls and doors and seclude themselves from the culture and let it rot to the state of decay it is right now. Christians it seems are not willing to fight and stand for anything but arguing nuances of doctrine among themselves and declaring this Christian group or that one Apostate – while the Secularists are abolishing their faith by judicial fiat and convincing Americans that God and Country are separate.

No wonder so may churches and pastors are going right along with the Secularist demand that Christianity and biblical ideas be removed and divorced from society and public view.

Should Christianity, politics mix?

We are engaged in a war that is not only defining our times, it is determining our destiny.

I’m not talking about the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, or even the broader war on terror – those are offshoots of the real war. I’m talking about the culture war.

The culture war is a struggle between secular socialism and free market traditionalism, and the outcome of this struggle will ultimately determine whether or not the jihadists will pick up the pieces to convert America and Canada into a North American caliphate….

…ar better to let atheists, agnostics, humanists, socialists, or Marxists rule the West, like they did in the old Soviet Union. Remember the Soviet Union? It lasted what, 70 years? And when it collapsed under the weight of its anti-religious, nihilist, man-centered worldview, it gave way to a situation where some of its tiny satellite states were ripe for Islamists to take control.

That’s why I don’t hold out much hope for a victory in the culture war if the current leadership remains in place. When so-called “Christian leaders” are ready to abandon their responsibility, there’s not much hope that North America can withstand the tenacity and conviction of the jihadists waiting on the sidelines – witness what’s happening in Europe.

Besides, if the “end times” are here anyway, why not just pick Hillary for president?

That should really speed things up.
