Fact is, Western Liberalism is a revolution. \u00a0And like all revolutions, it seeks to overthrow the establishment and replace it with its own institutions and philosophies. \u00a0Thus, it is in its best interest to constantly beat the drums of how horrible things are in our own back yard. \u00a0So Kristof says Christians don\u2019t have to apologize for the genocide against Muslims in Yugoslavia. \u00a0Yet I remember that being mentioned back in the day, and linked with Christians and Christian atrocities throughout the ages. \u00a0Just like, when a single pastor threatened to burn a Koran, it was linked to America\u2019s racism and racist past. <\/p>\n

Sorry, that\u2019s the point. \u00a0If you\u2019re going to excuse Islam, then excuse Christianity when it comes to gay rights or abortion or even any other subject. \u00a0Excuse America and focus on a single issue. \u00a0The problem is, liberalism will forget all about \u2018you can\u2019t blame the whole because of a few bad apples\u2019 when it\u2019s something that can be linked to the very civilization that liberalism seeks to overthrow.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
