Obama & Newsweek Declare The End of Christian America
|
| Greetings!
Gary Cass, speaker at two Restore America Conferences in Portland, Oregon and head of the Anti-Christian Defamation Commission, today reported that, "Just in time for Easter, one of the most significant days on the Christian calendar, Newsweek magazine's cover declares "The Decline and Fall of Christian America."
 Significantly, President Barach Obama, speaking to the Turkish Parliament just days ago, said that America does not consider itself a "Christian nation." Obama and John Meacham of Newsweek would do well to read and consider the 1939 State of the Union Address by Franklin D. Roosevelt. | |
| Christianity the indispensable source of democracy and international good faith
"Storms from abroad directly challenge three institutions indispensable to Americans, now as always. The first is religion. It is the source of the other two - democracy and international good faith.
Religion, by teaching man his relationship to God, gives the individual a sense of his own dignity and teaches him to respect himself by respecting his neighbors.
Democracy, the practice of self-government, is a covenant among free men to respect the rights and liberties of their fellows.
International good faith, a sister of democracy, springs from the will of civilized nations of men to respect the rights and liberties of other nations of men.
In a modern civilization, all three - religion, democracy and international good faith - complement and support each other.
Where freedom of religion has been attacked, the attack has come from sources opposed to democracy. Where democracy has been overthrown, the spirit of free worship has disappeared. And where religion and democracy have vanished, good faith and reason in international affairs have given way to strident ambition and brute force.
An ordering of society which relegates religion, democracy and good faith among nations to the background can find no place within it for the ideals of the Prince of Peace. The United States rejects such an ordering and retains its ancient faith.
There comes a time in the affairs of men when they must prepare to defend, not their homes alone, but the tenets of faith and humanity on which their churches, their governments, and their very civilization are founded. * The defense of religion, of democracy, and of good faith among nations is all the same fight. To save one we must now make up our minds to save all."

Pandering To our shame
Pandering to the Muslim world, the source of terror, barbarism, and world wide instability, is a shame to all freedom loving people. Calling America 'arrogant' and our willingness to confront evil, 'derisive' in the face of the worlds cowardice and our efforts to set people free while ignoring the great cost to America and Americans, should be called what it is; weak, unbecoming of an American leader, beneath the office of the President of the United States, and an insult to the millions of Americans who have sacrificed their lives for others around the world.
As Roosevelt said, "There comes a time in the affairs of men when they must prepare to defend, not their homes alone, but the tenets of faith and humanity on which their churches, their governments, and their very civilization are founded."

"Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them."
Justice Joseph Story, U.S. Supreme Ct. 1811-1845 |

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."
II Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV |
"Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses."
Nehemiah 4:14 NAS | |
