Are you offended by the media's defense of nonstop smut on television? Does it make your blood boil
that this Denmocratic president and congress are trying to ram through a healthcare bill that makes possible
the use of taxpayer money to pay for elective abortions? Are you sick of government telling you that you
can't pray or talk about your faith in public, celebrate Christmas in the traditional way or display a cross
on your own property? Does it bother you that chaplains in the American armed services can no longer
mention the name of Jesus. while their Muslim counterparts can talk freely about Muhammad? Are you
repulsed by the move to scratch "in God We Trust" from our coins. the Ten Commandments from our
courthouses and all prayer from public schools?Are you sickened that homosexuality is being openly
condoned and taught in public schools, that gay marriage is being approved by several states and that
urinating on pictures of Jesus is considered "art?" Are you fed up yet? Have you had about enough?
It's pushback time, and some of the most effective tactics are the ones liberals have been using against the rest
of us for so long. First, make some noise. Gay marriage activists stage marches, go on talk shows and lobby the
White House. Liberals representing dozens of sleazy causes repugnant to most Christians engage daily in a barrage of
labeling and namecalling that is then parroted by the media. If you claim Christian conviction you are now
automatically labeled as part of the "Christian right," one of those dinosaurs bitterly clinging to your guns and
religion. It's high time we start branding the namecallers for what they are, liars and social fascists who are determined
to remake this country in their own blasphemous image. Why are they so afraid of Rush Limbaugh, Mike Gallagher,
Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin and Bill O'Reilly? It's because when the libs engage in their bashing and trashing the
aforenamed people bash back. If we do that, you say, doesn't that lower us to their level? When, in response to
Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor we declared war on and attacked Japan, did that lower us to their level? The
point is that it's already a war. What are you waiting for?
Reject political correctness now. Call real things by real names. If people are going to be offended then let's
all be offended together. Why should Christians be offended alone? That means that in spite of what the pro-choice
crowd says,killing baibes is still killing babies is still killing babies. No more nice guy. If you're in my face, expect me
to be in yours. My faith. my values and my freedoms are that important to me, and you're not going to walk on them
anymore without paying a price. What do you think would happen if the millions of us who continue to be labeled,
ridiculed, lampooned and marginalized took just that stance? Yes. it might be war. But there are more of us than
there are of them, and they know it.
On November 20, a prestigious group of Christian leaders, both Catholic and Protestant, released a manidesto
known as the "Manhattan Declaration." It's purpose was to defend the rights of the innocent unborn, the institution
of marriage as the union between a man and a woman, and the rights, both God given and constitutional for people
to practice and profess their religion openly. In less than three weeks that document has been signed by over
200,000 religious leaders, public figures and private citizens who are ready to stand up and be counted. Have you
signed on? You can do so my going to ManhattanDeclaration.org.
Those who drafted this document are by no means starry-eyed idealists, and include professors from noted law
scholls as well as clerics and theologians. They go so far as to challenge unjust laws, like taxpayer money being
used for abortions, and suggest civil disobedience as a beginning remedy. The Declasration is both civil and
scholarly. But it does little to hide the underlying frustration and anger of the Christians who penned it, and suggests
that now, more than ever, is the time for pushback.
So this is the message Mr. Liberal, Miss Atheist, Mr. Hollywood smutmonger: we're done putting up with your
garbage and from now on when you take shots at us you'd better bring your lunch. You've pulled the tiger's
tail once too often.
There are MANY other strategies that can be effectively employed to undermine the social fascists. Learn more
