Who Doubts That We Are Being Treated As "Niggers Of The New Age"?

This is not the first time I've used this phrase (although I originally coined it).  The last time I used this was a little more than a year ago.  It caused a fair amount of consternation.  Some of that registered from the "golly-gee-we-mustn't-make-people-upset" crowd and some of it registered from those who indeed want to marginalize those of us who hold to Christian moral standards.

Well, a year has come and gone and the incidents continue to accumulate.

• A gay-rights group calling themselves "Angry Queers" (to their credit, they accurately named themselves) vandalized a Portland Oregon church claiming that Christians are "scum" who "deserve hammers through their windows".  Krystalnacht, anyone?
• A LGTB activist named Scott Rose suggested the death penalty for Christians who oppose the "gay marriage" debacle, stating that "those Christofascists deserve to be nailed up on crosses and left to bleed to death".  And this they call "tolerance"??
• It's not only the gay-rights bunch.  Now the U.S. Army is labeling Catholics and Evangelicals as examples of "religious extremism" - right up there with Al Quaeda and Hamas!  Did we mention that this is "your tax dollars at work"?

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to stop the denial.  Let's stop playing "the three monkeys" before it's too late to stop this juggernaut. 

Open Letter To Americans United For Separation Of Church And State

On Easter Saturday, Bishop Daniel Jenky of the Diocese of Peoria (IL) delivered a homily to his congregation. I blogged on it yesterday.  Now comes the none-too-surprising "news" that the usual gang of progressive suspects have their panties in a twist.  Americans United for Separation of Church and State have filed suit against the Diocese of Peoria.  Methinks there's a bit of double-standard.  I have issued the following open letter to the AUSCS.  Will I get a response?  I'm not holding my breath!   The letter follows the jump break, so ..

Hats Off To Daniel Glowacki!

Who is Daniel Glowacki?  He is the high-school junior who is standing up for his rights as a Catholic to hold and express his beliefs.

On October 10, 2010, as he walked into his economics class at Howell High School in Howell, Michigan, he was ordered to remove his belt buckle by the teacher, Johnson "Jay" McDowell.  The belt buckle bore the Confederate flag and McDowell considered himself "offended" by it.  At the same time, McDowell was wearing a purple tee-shirt decrying alleged "bullying of gays".  When Glowacki pointed out the obvious double-standard regarding classroom attire, McDowell questioned him on the spot about his feelings on homosexuality.   Glowacki replied to the question by stating that as a Catholic he was offended by the gay lifestyle.  Immediately he was ordered to leave the classroom under threat of suspension.  McDowell then posed the same question to the rest of his class - and summarily threw out yet another student.

The gay cartel wasted no time jumping on Glowacki, like vultures swooping in for their prey.  The school district sided with their "anti-bullying" bully - who just happens to be the school leader for the teachers' union (ahem!).  Ellen DeGeneres even jumped into the fray.

Also jumping into the fray, though, is the Thomas More Law Center.  They are representing Glowacki and his family in a federal lawsuit filed against the school district.  Good for them!  At this point in time, Glowacki is probably eighteen years old.  I applaud him for showing not only the courage not to back down in the classroom but also for standing up and saying to McDowell and his cronies that he has First Amendment rights and there will be consequences for those who infringe upon them.

In the meantime, please consider contacting the school itself at http://www.howellschools.com/staff_directory.cfm?school=1952  McDowell is number 86.  The principal is Aaron Moran, number 103.  Go to their entries for specific email addresses.  General mailing address and phone/fax numbers are at the top.

The Insane Rage Against Tim Tebow

I am not a football fan.  I'll watch it at someone else's place if that's what they're doing and I do know the basic rules, but I really don't care who wins or loses.  However, not too many people can claim ignorance of Tim Tebow, the Broncos' quarterback who lets people know who he is and that he believes in Jesus Christ as God and Savior.  And yes, he does seem to be a most capable football player.

It seems to be the combination of these two characteristics (1. devout Christian and 2. decent football player) that drives progressives into major hissy-snit-fits.  A progressive rabbi, Joshua Hammerman, went so far as to warn the populace (on New York's Jewish Week blog) that if Tim Tebow wins the Super Bowl, we Christians are going to go on a mosque-burning rampage!  Fortunately there is also some rational analysis of Hammerman's screed.  Read this piece by Jeff Dunetz, a Jew who is thankful that he doesn't attend Hammerman's synagogue.  He also links to a cached version of the Hammerman vitriol that has since been pulled from the orginal blog (I wonder why it was pulled!).

This sort of progressive bigotry against religion, particularly the Judeo-Christian traditions, is nothing new to anyone who's had their eyes open these past several years.  So what is it about decent people being up front about their faith that just causes these quasi-athiests to bunch their undies?  Could it be the pricking of their own consciences?  The conscience is a God-given faculty inside each and every person that lets one know when he/she is not living as he/she should.  Repeated violation of the conscience can dull one to its voice - but not entirely.  Hence the discomfort - and resentment.  The evidence is there for all to see - attempts at denial notwithstanding.

Faithful Catholics = Niggers of the New Age

It really doesn't take too much thought to see how I derived that new title for those of us who hold to the True Faith.  You see, we are what the aging flower children call the "New Age" (postmodernism), where everything and everyone is tolerated - except for - (you guessed it!) Catholicism and all who adhere to it (actually, you can toss in there others who hold to traditional Judeo-Christian values, too).  We are continually mocked in the mass media and we even have localities (San Francisco) passing resolutions condemning our teachings.  The reason is not surprising.  It is because they are God's truth, and as such are not subject to man's approval.  Moreover, they reveal to be the sexual licentiousness of today to be mortally sinful.  With their consciences stung, the progressives and all their little lapdogs nip at our heels.

Pope Benedict XVI has been a favorite target of the "cultural elite".
