That wasn\u2019t my observation.\u00a0 That wonderfully true little quip was Nate Winchester\u2019s from the post below<\/a>.\u00a0 And true it is.\u00a0 Again, while many progressives attempt to equate Political Correctness and Civility, we know better.\u00a0 We know now that this is nothing but rank censorship and that is it.\u00a0 This is oppression and the stripping away and redefining of rights and liberties.\u00a0 And it is the attempt to eradicate the Judeo-Christian heritage from the West, including the United States.\u00a0 The tactics are many, and the constant beating down of our heritage and our Faith is part of the strategy.\u00a0 But by now, we should all know that attempts to be \u2018diverse\u2019 or \u2018tolerant\u2019 are merely screens used to cover up the eradication of us from our society.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

So when we see a lawsuit that wants to ban In God We Trust from our money<\/a> \u2013 which I\u2019m shocked hasn\u2019t happened yet \u2013 remember, it has nothing to do with a secular, or a tolerant, or a diverse society.\u00a0 It has nothing to do at all with what the Founding Fathers would have envisioned.\u00a0 It is an attempt by the Devil to strip away any Christian connection to our society and banish it to the darkness of catacombs and sewers.\u00a0 Though, admittedly, that is where the Church thrived 2000 years ago.\u00a0 Still, a friend from the former USSR once said that only someone who hasn\u2019t lived without freedom would not care about losing it.\u00a0 So in the words of a Nigerian priest who served at our parish for several years: Resist.\u00a0 Stop letting the world of the Devil tell you to shut up and stay out of society.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Oh, and it does little good to say things like \u2018well, we were never a Christian nation, we owned slaves and did bad things.\u2019\u00a0 True enough. But getting to the truth of things is not this movement\u2019s goal.\u00a0 Conceding any ground to a conqueror gets you one step closer to the wall against which you will have your back.\u00a0 Nothing more. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
