Legislating Faith?

So much on my mind today and plenty of Federal Fodder from which to choose... I know this isn't necessarily business related (directly anyway) but it's a great illustration of just how far Obama and his Ultra-Liberal Cronies will go to advance a Liberal Secular agenda. If Obama doesn't believe we are a Christian Nation, founded by God-fearing men on a Judeo-Christian ethics, does he believe in Free Speech? The right to bear arms? The right to practice without interference from the government? Apparently his Appellate Court Nominee,David Hamilton, believes it is the government's responsibility to interfere with the with the practice of some religions. As a sitting judge in Indiana, he ruled that "prayers in Jesus Name at the Indiana House of Representatives were unconstitutional, but prayers to Allah were not."

During an address in Ankhara, Turkey President Obama said the following...
"We do not consider the United States to be a Christian nation... the United States is a nation of citizens bound by ideals and a set of values." Barack Obama

Maybe we should have the President read the Declaration of Independence
* When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them..."
* "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."

Although Hancock penned the Declaration, it was a collaboration of a number of brilliant, wise, Christian men which was the genesis of the greatest country on earth!

If you still question whether of not YOUR government has an ax to grind with Christians, take a closer look at the following quotes by Obama's latest Appointee to the Faith Based Initiative...
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama has named to the federal government’s faith-based initiative a gay-rights activist who, last month, described Pope Benedict XVI and certain Catholic bishops as “discredited leaders” because of their opposition to same-sex marriage.

Harry Knox, who is a newly appointed member of Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, is the director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign, a homosexual activist group.

In addition to his remarks about the Pope, Knox also criticized the Catholic Knights of Columbus as being “foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression” because of the Knights’ support of Proposition 8. The latter was a ballot initiative that amended California’s state constitution to define marriage as being between a man and a woman, and passed in November 2008.

Knox told CNSNews.com that he “absolutely” stands by his criticism of the pope.

"The Pope needs to start telling the truth about condom use," Knox said on Monday, Apr. 6. "We are eager to help him do that. Until he is willing to do that and able, he's doing a great deal more harm than good -- not just in Africa but around the world. It is endangering people's lives.”

When you start questioning, as I do, why Christians are such an easy target for governments, entertainers, and wacko Atheists, refer to the words of Jesus Christ himself...
Matthew 24:9
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me."
Matthew 5:10
"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

I know this post is more of a rant. However, I feel like I need to scream from the top of the highest building, "Stop the Madness!" I guess for now anyway, I'll take solace in the words of Jesus and pray that this Administration does not evicerate a nation built on faith not the Secular Servitude that our leaders in Washington preach.
