In fact, unlike the good pastor Jones, who was promptly attacked by insurance companies, banks, and our own government, the divine M. <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Chagoya<\/span> will be bringing his pornographic imagery of Jesus compliments of our taxes and government support. Thank goodness my kids can\u2019t sing about Jesus at Christmastime in the public schools so my tax dollars can pay for more of this sort of thing. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%\">My guess is, the reasons are twofold. First, liberalism, based on the lie of <em>Total Western Evil<\/em>, is scared <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">crapless<\/span> over the threats of Islam. Despite our popular culture\u2019s assurance that it\u2019s racist Americans and bigot Christians we need to worry about, its actions suggest that it is some other religion they truly fear. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%\">Second, liberalism is based upon the total and unrestrained hatred of all things of the Traditional Christian West. All of those foundations of classical Christian morality must be burned to the ground. Hating those who cling to traditional, Orthodox beliefs is not only allowed, but encouraged. Ask Mel Gibson. As Pope Benedict. Ask CNN that continues its quest for a Utopian paradise where all who fail to embrace such leftist dogmas as the celebration of homosexuality should be punished and censored for their lack of vision. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size:85%\">It\u2019s only a matter of time of course, because the <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">wacked<\/span>-out, militant left isn\u2019t held up in log cabins in the foothills of Montana. They teach at our universities, command our news networks, and control the outlets of mass communication by way of our popular culture. So buck up folks. Either join the liberal pack, or get used to censorship, oppression, ostracizing, and someday, punishment for your heresies.
