So I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll be heartened to know that Target is among those stores leading the way<\/a> to ditch this laughable notion of families and get together celebrating God\u2019s blessings on refugees seeking religious freedom in the New World.\u00a0 And the really great part is\u00a0that these stores are doing it for\u00a0the all important bottom line. <\/p>\n

One of the great tensions of our age is that conservatives, including religious conservatives, are among the last true defenders of Capitalism and the Free Market (not necessarily the same thing).\u00a0 And yet there are few areas more dedicated to promoting godless hedonism, debauchery and the right to slaughter endless hordes of hapless unborn in the name of sexual debauchery than modern corporate America.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Of course not all business owners or corporations worship money, promote animal debauchery\u00a0and could care less about God.\u00a0 But a sizeable portion of corporate moguls today are quite proud of their godless support of leftist hedonism and narcissism.\u00a0 After all, that\u2019s where brainless consumers come from.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

So Target is simply one of many joining the wave.\u00a0 I said some time ago<\/a> that Thanksgiving would go the way of everything else linked to the dying Christian West.\u00a0 And it won\u2019t be replaced with anything good.\u00a0 It will be the lowest animal cultural\u00a0denominator.\u00a0 But at least it will be an animal culture with the latest smartphone.\u00a0 And for that, American religious conservatives who so zealously support the Market can be proud. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
