Liberal Christianity...
Apparently, many on the not-so-silent-anymore majority in America known as the 'religous right' aren't very thrilled about the secular nature of White House Christmas cards.
According to the Washington Post:
"This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration has suffered a loss of will and that they have capitulated to the worst elements in our culture," said William A. Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.
Bush "claims to be a born-again, evangelical Christian. But he sure doesn't act like one," said Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily.com. "I threw out my White House card as soon as I got it."
But, here is the big part of the story:
That is the same rationale offered by major retailers for generic holiday catalogues, and it is accepted by groups such as the National Council of Churches. "I think it's more important to put Christ back into our war planning than into our Christmas cards," said the council's general secretary, the Rev. Bob Edgar, a former Democratic congressman.
The American left is trying to spread the false idea that Jesus' message was about pacifism, and therefore the proper thinking for Christians is to oppose war at all costs. (Unless the war in question is the one against Individualism, being waged in schools and courtrooms across America every day.)
Ultimately, just as the Democrat/socialist party loses support when truth and open discussion are popular, so too will the religous left when their agenda is exposed for America to see and judge.
I don't think these phony religous interpretations resonate much beyond the socialist pulpits of Ivy League classrooms and the insulated clubs whose doors open only to the elites who run our media and entertainment industries.
No, Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public living in the types of cities and towns which resemble 80% of the rest of the country are not buying into the religous left and its socialist agenda. Watching the elitists on the left scratch and claw as their reign on power crumbles around them has been proving rather humorous to this American. As they say, truth is often stranger than fiction, and in this case much more entertaining.
