No longer socially acceptable to be a Christian; good for the Body of Christ, but sad for American society

OUTRAGE! High School Track Team disqualified after making religious gesture to God for winning race
"The team was on the way to the State Championships with this win at the Regional. As a team they reached their goals. They deemed this taunting.

"They should be ASHAMED of themselves! That rule needs to be rescinded!
So this is where everything is now. It’s ok to praise a Gay Basketball Player that doesn’t have a team but disqualify a winning track relay team that gives honor to God? ...."

Jason Collins, Tim Tebow and the culture war ...."But hold on. I can't imagine that these politically-correct executives don't fear the wrath of gay activists and their numerous sympathizers. You see, for them, an avowed Christian like Tim Tebow is someone they enjoy kicking to the curb. Not so for the first openly gay NBA athlete. And heaven forbid that a team takes a pass on Collins because they don't think he can play at a professional level anymore, but then some media outlet reports that an executive with said team had voiced opposition to gay marriage or ate at Chick-fil-A!"

 

I believe Tebow was cut because of his qualifications as a quarterback and not because he is a Christian. To think otherwise is to be no better than all the race-baiters who are such a millstone around the necks of our society.

The issue of this post is America's new perspective of what is considered admirable and what is not. TD

 

Off with Broussard’s head! "Faithful America has launched other petitions related to homosexuality: It has targeted the Boy Scouts of America for its “discrimination” against gays and St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church in Oceanside, N.Y., for not allowing an openly gay man continue serving as a church volunteer."

Radicalizing the Military   "Presently, however, they are under threat from within, and one cannot help but notice that our military is being forced, against centuries of American tradition, morals and example, to become a reflection of the left. This appears to be part of the plan to fundamentally transform the United States, and it carries dire consequences for our long-term survival." 

...."Now, the left has targeted religious belief for special attention and examples of overt bigotry within the military have recently come to light. A recent briefing to an Army Reserve unit in Pennsylvania equated Christianity, including Evangelists and Catholics, with terrorist organizations such as Hamas and al Qaeda. The president has also stated that a conscience protection for military chaplains against ceremonies that violate their beliefs is "unnecessary and ill-advised". All must bow to the agenda, you see. It is their god."  Read more.

Clarence Thomas: Obama 'Approved By The Elites' Because He Says What They 'Expect From A Black Person'

MSNBC begins their attack on Justice Thomas in three...two...one...

Fox News 

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas ripped the media and took a subtle dig at President Obama during an CSPAN interview dated from April 9th.

"When asked about how he felt about the nation’s first black President, Barack Obama, Thomas said he always knew it would have to be a person who was “approved by the elites and the media” because if it was someone who they didn’t agree with, that person would be picked apart.

" “Any black person who says something that is not the prescribed things that they expect from a black person will be picked apart… So, I always assumed it would be someone the media had to agree with,” Thomas said"

Marathon Was Picked Because Bombs Were Finished Early

Yid With Lid

"They finished early!  That's what sealed the fate of the victim of the Boston Marathon and saved the attendees of  Boston’s famous July Fourth celebration on the Charles River Esplanade. Younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told federal investigators that he and his brother initially planned to detonate explosives at Boston’s Independence Day celebration which includes a Boston Pops concert at the Hatch Shell  and fireworks over the Charles River.

The Clinical Definition of ‘Insanity’ …

Andrew C. McCarthy  "President Obama made a number of ill-conceived remarks in his press conference Tuesday, but the topper was the one reported by the New York Times regarding the performance of federal investigators in the aftermath of a 2011 warning from Russian intelligence that Tamerlan Tsarnaev — one of the eventual Boston Marathon bombers — was an Islamic radical:

Mr. Obama said that after the Russian warning, federal agents “had not only investigated the older brother; they interviewed the older brother. They concluded that there were no signs that he was engaging in extremist activity.”

"Translation: There is to be no change in our approach — we refuse to acknowledge the causative nexus between Islamic supremacism and the terrorism committed by Muslims. Yes, the agents confirmed that Tsarnaev had adopted the aggressor ideology, but he had not — yet — moved on to aggressive activity. Until activity happens, we take no note of someone’s beliefs … unless they are right-wingers, Second Amendment defenders, or pro-life advocates." More...

Andrew C. McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor who put the Blind Sheik behind bars in the first World Trade Center bombing, was arguably the most important prosecutor in the War on Terror. He is among the most authoritative writers anywhere on the dangers of Jihad.

 

Teacher Fired for Giving Student Bible

Pictured is a Gideon Bible given each student in our public

 school 5th grade classroom back in 1950. We did not

suspect that we were then in the presence of criminals.

Todd Starnes of Fox   "The Phillipsburg School Board voted Monday night to terminate the employment of Walter Tutka. He was accused of breaking two policies – distributing religious literature on school grounds and another policy that directs teachers to be neutral when discussing religious material.

"“It’s unfortunate the Phillipsburg School District chose the path of religious hostility and intolerance against a retired man serving his community and simply responding to a student’s intellectual curiosity,” Hiram Sasser, director of litigation at Liberty Institute, told Fox News. “What’s next – are they going to ban Shakespeare because his plays have Bible quotations?”

Joe Imhof, a close friend of Tutka, was at the school board meeting.
The school board, he told Fox News, was basically telling God to “go to hell.”
“Just because this guy gave a student a pocket New Testament on his lunch hour – that’s enough to throw you out of school,” Imhof said. “They have said tonight, ‘God, we don’t want you in this school.’”
Imhof and Tutka serve together in Gideons International – a ministry known for providing Bibles to school children across the world.

Jon Stewart Mocks Obama for Guantanamo Bay Posturing

It is estimated that only 1/3 of Americans know the Benghazi story because of the MSM ignoring it

Obama administration officials threatened whistle-blowers on Benghazi, lawyer says  "“I'm not talking generally, I'm talking specifically about Benghazi – that people have been threatened,” Toensing said in an interview Monday. “And not just the State Department. People have been threatened at the CIA.”"

MSM face Benghazigate dilemma   "The biggest risk the MSM face is that this story will explode, that armed with subpoenas and immunity, revelations will pour out in testimony, and Fox News will get the sole credit. They will look even more like the modern courtiers they showed themselves to be at the White House Correspondents Dinner last weekend."

Networks Ignore Libya Whistleblower Who Asserts: We Know Who Perpetrated Benghazi
 "All three network newscasts on Monday and Tuesday ignored the shocking assertions made by a whistleblower who told Fox News that special forces could have responded to the 2012 terrorist attack on Benghazi. He also claimed that the United States knows who perpetrated last year's assault on the U.S. embassy. Fox News's Adam Housley interviewed a man he described as a "special ops member who watched as the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi unfolded."

 

FBI appeals for help in Benghazi attack  "The FBI published grainy images of three individuals it says were on the grounds of the consulate at the time of the attack.

" "The FBI is now asking Libyans and people around the world for additional information related to the attacks," the agency said in a statement. "These individuals may be able to provide information to help in the investigation.""

Special ops called for military backup during Libya attack, sources say
That meant the authority then reverted directly to the U.S. State Department, and oversight of the response to the attack that night fell to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy, who were calling the shots.
Sources said that shortly after the attack began around 9:40 p.m., special forces put out the calls for assets to be moved into position.

Krauthammer: Carney’s Remark is ‘Definition of Chutzpah’

“I have argued from the beginning, the administration’s strategy has always been stringing it out over time and count on the mainstream media being uninterested in the story, and that’s worked up until now,” Krauthammer said “It echoes what Hillary Clinton said at her hearings: What difference does it make at this point? Well, because if you wait that long, the evidence will fade.”

Just How Ignorant Is Obama About ObamaCare?

Investor's Business Daily  "At his press conference this week, President Obama tried to reassure Americans about ObamaCare. Instead, he displayed either an incredible lack of understanding about his own law, or something far worse.
"Asked about increasing Democratic concern over what Sen. Max Baucus called a looming ObamaCare "train wreck," Obama claimed that it's all much ado about very little.
"But almost nothing he said in defense of ObamaCare was accurate. Among his statements:
""A huge chunk of it's already been implemented."
In fact, all that's been implemented so far are a few PR-friendly changes like a mandate to cover children up to age 26 and a more generous Medicare drug benefit."
....
" 'We're going to be able to drive down costs ... and that will save the country money as a whole over the long term."
"Except, Obama's own health care number crunchers say ObamaCare will force national health spending up 7.4% in 2014, and add billions in costs over the next decade. The Congressional Budget Office says it will add massively to federal health spending."  Read more.

 

From Die Welt, Germany; "America’s Credibility Is at Stake"

America’s Credibility Is at Stake  "Nevertheless, America is bound to react to Assad's use of the nerve gas sarin. American President Barack Obama drew a very clear red line months ago for the use or even the movement of chemical weapons.

"America's credibility is thus at stake, especially since the president has drawn another, far more important red line: that Iran cannot under any circumstances become a nuclear power. The Iranians will know how seriously they should take this threat if America now remains passive.

"That does mean that America should react with ground troops or a full-scale war. The West could follow the example of Assad, who has escalated his war against the rebels and his own people step by step in the past months. The West could do exactly the same."

George Will says Obama is right on Syria   "People who talk incessantly often talk imprecisely, and Barack Obama, who is as loquacious as he is impressed with his verbal dexterity, has talked himself into a corner concerning Syria and chemical weapons. This is condign punishment for his rhetorical carelessness, but the nation’s credibility, not just his, will suffer. His policy is better than his description of it, and his description is convoluted because he lacks the courage of his sensible conviction that entanglement in Syria would be unwise.
"Nine months ago, Obama said: “We have been very clear to the Assad regime . . . that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus.” This is less a policy than a large loophole masquerading as a policy."
Emphasis added.

With Obama’s Syrian Crawfish, the Israeli attack on Iran will have to be decisive

Israel stands alone  "Bible prophecy is definitive about one central point in the "end times", and that point is that Israel will stand alone in the world, with no "earthly" support. I say no "earthly" support, because God will certainly stand with Israel during the last days, as shown dramatically in the passages of Ezekiel 38-39. When the epic invasion of Israel takes place, as described by Ezekiel, there are no nations standing with Israel. Only God. Zachariah 12:3 also makes the same point:

"On that day, when ALL the nations of earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for ALL the nations."

Infidel Bloggers Alliance  "All these actions are MORE likely because IMHO, not one mullah, and CERTAINLY not Khameini believes Obama a serious person in this vein.

"Australia has said ‘the U.S. would be ill advised to take their participation for granted’ in action against China.

"If even in places like Australia they are wondering why they should blindly follow our lead, if their benefit is not now more with neutrality or China than the USA, can there be any doubt about what is being considered for policy in Tehran? In Beijing? In Pyongyang? In Moscow? 

"In these considerations can we see the result of a weaker USA."

America’s Most Feared Economist

Ann Coulter   "You can tell the conservatives liberals fear most because they start being automatically referred to as "discredited." Ask Sen. Ted Cruz. But no one is called "discredited" by liberals more often than the inestimable economist John Lott, author of the groundbreaking book More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws .
"Lott's economic analysis of the effect of concealed-carry laws on violent crime is the most thoroughly vetted study in the history of economics, perhaps in the history of the world." ....
