~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
East Point Academy, a charter school in West Columbia, S.C. has been forced under threat of litigation from an anti-religious organization, American Humanist Association, to cancel its annual toys for tots drive.
The atheist organization claims that it is acting on behalf of a parent who lodged a complaint against the school.
The school’s principal Renee Mathews informed Fox News Insider that
‘…We received a letter saying we had to cease and desist immediately or they would take legal action against us…
…’This letter serves as notice to policymaking school officials of the East Point Academy’s
unconstitutional conduct and as a demand that the school terminate all promotion, sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation with Operation Christmas Child immediately,’ read the letter from the American Humanist Association…
While accusing Operation Christmas Child, Samaritan’s Purse of colluding to convert poor children to Christianity, the atheist group claims that any affiliation by East Point Academy with the charity is a violation of the Establishment Clause.
It is the most wonderful time of the year, unless of course, one happens to an atheist or within their reach.
How incongruous is it that Obama suddenly deems himself an ally of Israel?
How incongruous is it that Obama recalls that he is supposed to be playing the role of a Christian?
How absurd is it that twenty-four hours later Progressives hemming, hawing, making excuses, feigning ignorance and even blaming Republicans for the call that they alone made suddenly
backtrack from their original 2012 platform?
For a while, Progressives have been nudging the country down this long, dark road but an Obama presidency was supposed to hurl the United States spiraling into a Godless and anti-Semitic state.
Underestimating the intelligence and faith of Americans, removing “God” and the Pro-Israel language was a major play for Progressives. The national response caught them off guard and scared the heck out of an already desperate Barack Obama.
Be assured patriots, Progressives are not backing down. They are merely delaying what they consider the inevitable should Obama win in November, which is why we, must ensure that he is a one-term president.
Window Dressing
Obama wants to be his re-elected and Monday evening he made the call to deceive people of faith, Israel and its supporters in order to succeed. If re-elected, Obama will judas kiss America and Israel by personally revisiting this setback.
For Progressives, having exposed themselves as Godless and anti-Semitic, backtracking is purely window dressing.
The Pot Calling the Kettle Black
How duplicitous is it that Progressives (a) just one week ago, accused Republicans of being angry when it is they who are angry as they espouse propaganda and expel vitriol throughout the nation; and (b) reported that the Republican Party split when it is the Democratic Socialists of America who are clearly split over Wednesday’s vote.
“…In a time of deep economic struggles for many Americans, a time when their inclination is as President Obama once said, ‘to cling to their guns and religion,‘ the primary question tied to morning-after responses to Michelle Obama’s Democratic National Convention speech was not about anything Michelle said. It was: ‘Why did Democrats drop God from their party platform?’…”
Let that be a lesson to Progressives, your arms are too short to box with God.
Remember, nothing with the left is ever as it seems America.
WAKE UP AMERICA. THIS IS NOT YOUR PARENTS’ DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
“Bishop E.W. Jackson is making a war cry: ‘Let God’s people go!
Jackson, a Marine Corps veteran, graduate of Harvard Law School and adjunct professor of law, is echoing the words of Moses in a campaign to persuade Christians of all races that the time has come for a wholesale exodus of Christians from the Democrat Party.
Gabby Douglas I give all to Jesus
The former candidate for U.S. Senate in Virginia points to what he calls the Democrat party’s ‘cult-like devotion’ to abortion; the rejection of the traditional biblical model of family; the hostility hurled at those who express a Christian viewpoint such as Chick-fil-A president and Chief Operating Officer Dan Cathy; the actions of organizations such as the ACLU and the Foundation For Freedom From Religion in suing cities and towns for displaying crosses at memorials or mentioning the name Jesus in prayer at official events.
Beyond all of this, Jackson says, Democrat operatives are also attacking Gabrielle Douglas, the 16-year old black American who won the 2012 gold medal in gymnastics….”
I forwarded the above article to friends, neighbors and family members who consider themselves Christians and Democrats with the following note. H/t Restoring Liberty.
“Just thought I’d share. Christians around the world are under attack. The attacks are at an all-time high and here in the United States, it is no different except that it is not being reported by the media.
The war against Christians, whether people want to hear it or not is coming from the left, i.e., Democrats aka Progressives. The lies, attacks, ridicule, humiliation, intimidation and intolerance are taking place on American soil as never seen or felt before in the history of the USA and it is showing no signs of slowing down.
Something is very wrong here in the USA. We need to wake up. Even worse is that the attacks are coming from the White House down.”
I can assure you that I will not receive one response. I may even receive a “delivery failure” notice from those who have now blocked me. We shall see.
I have noticed that so-called Christians will listen to news of these attacks so long as you leave Obama out of the discussion. The mere fact that I mentioned “the White House” will cause these so-called Christians from shying away because they do not have the cohunes to call evil out, no matter where it comes from.
Living in denial, what will it take to awaken people from their slumber. Will the terror of these attacks have to meet them head on before they face reality? I wonder.
“First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.” ― Martin Niemöller
Indeed, this is a moral issue for which we must take a stance. Black America, you must not sit idly by like a puppet without a voice and allow Progressives to wage war against religion, family values and traditional marriage. It does not matter who we are, we must all take a stand.
“…The Rev. Williams Owens, who is president and founder of the Coalition of African-Americans Pastors and the leader of the campaign, has highlighted opposition to same-sex marriage among African-Americans. He calls this campaign ‘an effort to save the family.’
‘The time has come for a broad-based assault against the powers that be that want to change our culture to one of men marrying men and women marrying women,’ said Owens, in an interview Tuesday after the launch event at the National Press Club. ‘I am ashamed that the first black president chose this road, a disgraceful road.’
At the press conference, Owens was joined by five other black regional pastors and said there were 3,742 African-American pastors on board for the anti-Obama campaign….”
CNN and other media outlets are espousing propaganda and misrepresenting the facts by reporting that the organizers of this campaign, i.e., Pastors Bishop George D. McKinney, Bishop Felton Smith, and Reverend William and Dr. Deborah Owens (Coalition of African-Americans Pastors)are Conservative Black pastors.
As indicated on the home page of their site:
“Bishop George D. McKinney, Bishop Felton Smith, and Reverend William and Dr. Deborah Owens have joined together in the fight to keep marriage as ordained by God – one man and one woman, period!
We are a nonpartisan group of truthfully mostly Democrats who want to oppose gay marriage from the heart of the black church. This is a campaign to push back on President Obama and ask him and others to stand with us on marriage. Our goal is neither to hurt the President politically, nor to roll over in the face of his announcement but to speak and stand for moral truth, let all the princes and powers say and do what they will. Some ministers who stand with us include: Bishop Brandon B. Porter, Bishop Ed Stephens, Jr., Bishop David Allen Hall, DM, Bishop James Gaylord, Pastor Chuck Singleton, Rev. Leonard Dawson,
Dr. Dwight Montgomery, Elder Ivory Jackson, Elder Robert Morris, Superintendent Andre Clay, Pastor Darryl Doty, Bishop Charles Rodgers, Bishop Robert Jefferson, Bishop Janice Hollis,Pastor James Eric Owens, and Pastor Robert Bowers…”
The short of it is that Obama’s stance on gay marriage is a cup from which many in the Black community will not drink.
Pandering to the gay community, Obama embraced gay marriage while apparently expecting Black America to fall in line behind him to do the same.
Not only was this move recognized by all as pandering; backfiring, it has upset the apple cart, fiercely unnerving many of Obama’s so-called die-hard supporters who now find themselves at odds with his ideology.
As for the lamestream media, rather than report the facts as they stand, they espouse propaganda mislabeling those on the left who have taken a stand in favor of traditional “marriage as ordained by God” as Conservative Black pastors.
Is that supposed to be an insult? Why didn’t they just refer to this organization as “Black Christians” or simply “Christians?”
The message being sent is that (i) these people cannot possibly be Democrats because a good Democrat would go along with Obama’s program regardless; and (ii) one cannot be considered a good Black Democrat and not go along with Obama’s program regardless.
Obama has slighted Black Americans for far too long and his expectations that the community silently fall in line is not only an affront but also proof that Obama takes Black Americans for granted.
On this week’s edition of the Stakelbeck on Terror show, we highlight a new documentary, called “Losing Our Sons,” that examines the deadly impact of radical Islam on two American families and the broader implications for the U.S. Plus, the forces of Islamism are working to silence critics of jihad–and they’ve set their sights on the UN as the place to do it. ..

The surrender of Dearborn, MI to Islam is all but complete. This may be one of the most important videos in a long, long time. Background: A group of Christians showed up at the annual 2012 Arab Festival, holding signs and wearing t-shirts to communicate their message.
There are many things to take note of as you watch. First, the mob assaults the Christians with debris (rocks, bottles, crates, etc.). Second, the police do nothing to stop it. The video opens with one officer telling one of the Christians that use of a bullhorn is prohibited by a city ordinance…
