Free Exercise Of Religion Attacked
Comments Off on Free Exercise Of Religion Attacked
Fundamental liberties do not end because there is a pandemic. Individual rights in our Constitution do not disappear during a public health crisis. This does not mean that quarantine cannot be imposed if someone has been exposed to a highly communicable and/or deadly disease. However, measures taken need to be even-handed. A government entity is not permitted to discriminate against one group while allowing another group to engage in the same or similar activity. There can be no disparate treatment.
Last week Greenville, Mississippi mayor Errick Simmons, a Democrat, and the city council banned churches from hosting drive-in services.
“The City of Greenville put in place an Executive Order that orders all church buildings closed for in person and drive-in church services, until the State of Mississippi’s Shelter In Place Executive Order No. 1466 is lifted by Governor Tate Reeves. Churches are strongly encouraged to hold services via Facebook Live, Zoom, Free Conference Call, and any and all other social media, streaming, and telephonic platforms,” the order read.
The governor’s order (EO 1466) recommended that church services not be in person but, he did not prohibit drive-in services. “Mississippi is not China, and it never will be,” Reeves insisted.

The anti-religious nature of the left was exposed by then Senator Obama during his 2008 campaign when he referred to many in middle America as “bitter clingers.” In those days it was directed at people who were Christian, who believed in Jesus Christ and the Bible. During his Presidency President Obama occasionally spoke of “the right to worship” but consistently moved against the free exercise of religion by Christians as defined in our Bill of Rights.
Perhaps the most glaring examples of this were the efforts by the Obama administration to force medical personnel to participate in the murdering of unborn children against their conscience. After the passage of Obamacare the Obama DOJ took several organizations to court to force them to fund coverage for such atrocities.
Once again, the bigotry of the Democrats towards people who believe in Jesus Christ raised its ugly head last week. PDJT has tasked VP Mike Pence to lead a task force on combatting the coronavirus (COVID-19) in this country. Pence held a meeting in the situation room at the White House that was reported to be quite productive. A picture emerged from the meeting showing the members of the task force with their heads bowed in prayer asking for God’s help at the start of the meeting.
Do The Democrats Hate Christianity?

Without a doubt Christianity is under siege in America. Ridicule of Christianity has become mainstream acceptable behavior. From Obama’s “bitter clingers” statement during one of his campaign stops to Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” quote that was clearly aimed at evangelical Christians, elite Democrats have been denigrating Christianity in this country for a long time.
Christian beliefs in the sanctity of life, free will, and biblical virtues are scorned and ridiculed. People who believe in the Bible have been frequently likened to ISIS. People on the Left charge such people with wanting to impose a totalitarian theocracy on the country. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
Christianity Under Fire

Religious liberty is, perhaps, the most fundamental liberty that all Americans enjoy. However, you wouldn’t know it looking at the Democratic presidential candidates. They appear to embrace the Obama view of religion. That is, you are free to worship on Sunday. However, following God’s Word in the public square is not permitted if it contravenes Democratic talking points and the Party’s view of how people should think. Obama’s vision of religion was very closely in line with Josef Stalin’s.
Chicago’s Francis Cardinal George once wrote:
“Freedom of worship was guaranteed in the Constitution of the former Soviet Union. You could go to church, if you could find one. The church, however, could do nothing except conduct religious rites in places of worship — no schools, religious publications, health care institutions, organized charity, ministry for justice and works of mercy that flow naturally from a living faith. We fought a long Cold War to defeat that vision of society.”
The End of Prayer Shaming

This is an excellent video made by high school students from East Catholic HS in Connecticut. They do not say a word. It was created in response to a Senator’s remark about “Where is God in all the tragedy in the world?”
The video is 2 minutes and 17 seconds long.
A Speech For The Ages
Comments Off on A Speech For The Ages
Some 20 years ago Howard Stern asked Trump if he would run for president. Mr. Trump said,
“Personally I don’t need it, I will be ok. But I really worry about my children and grandchildren, the world is moving in the wrong direction. If, in the near future, the next Reagan does not become president, then I will try. See how much support I get, and then decide”.
On Tuesday President Trump gave a speech at the UN. Without a doubt this is the best speech he has given as President. In all my decades of life, I have never heard as good a speech as the one PDJT gave. It was the most honest speech that any world leader has ever done. He came to an organization that is used to hearing how important they are as leaders. President Trump set a new tone to world politics. Presidents serve people, not people serving presidents.
Democracy Needs Religion

This is very thought provoking.
Our democracy / society needs to believe in rules and order that is beyond the laws of the government to survive as a republic and a democracy.
When the common sense of right and wrong is lost so is our future.
Winners and Losers

The media likes to list winners and losers from every confrontation between the two main-stream political parties. The media’s views of these events often lean towards their own particular political ideologies.
Without a doubt the Republicans were the winners and the Democrats were the losers from the Mueller hearings on Wednesday. Even far left media outlets like CNN agreed. Chris Cillizza at CNN noted,
If Democrats hoped that Mueller would easily bat away Republican attacks — on him and on his report — they were sorely disappointed in the opening moments of his testimony. Mueller seemingly contradicted himself (and the report) when he told Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, the ranking Republican member on the committee, that collusion and conspiracy were not the same thing.

Can you be punished by the government for your religious views? According to the 1st Amendment the answer to that question should be a resounding “No!” However, more and more leftist politicians, bureaucrats and their allies are pushing to do just that.
