Rise Up! Defend Your Faith!!

Make Them Show Their True Colors!!!

Two stories, neither acknowledged by Mainstream Media news, clearly shows a concerted effort by Liberal America to attack, with the express intent to suppress entirely, Christianity, those who espouse its teachings, and practice their faith... Contrary to the letter and spirit of the First amendment.


Judge Reaffirms:
No 'Jesus' Prayers
Indiana House of Representatives can't have clergy mention savior
Posted: December 29, 2005

"An Indiana federal judge yesterday reaffirmed his decision to forbid prayers to be offered that use Jesus' name in the state House of Representatives... [judge] Hamilton said that "using Christ's name or title" or referring to a "savior" amounted to a state endorsement of religion."

This one will be appealed to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, and will, if necessary, go to the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington D.C.



Navy Chaplain Still Fasting for Right to Pray
December 30, 2005, Associated Press

"Lieutenant Gordon James Klingenschmitt [stationed in Norfolk, VA] has a new three-year contract as a U-S Navy chaplain, but is continuing the water-only fast he started a week ago Tuesday.

Klingenschmitt says he's been ordered not to pray publicly in the name of Jesus while he's in uniform -- and won't eat again until he can.

He's urging President Bush to sign an executive order that would let all military chaplains pray according to their beliefs rather than being restricted to generic prayers."

[Emphasis Mine]


So let me get this straight... As Americans we have "freedom" of speech, and "freedom" of religion, but not the "freedom" to speak the name of 'Jesus' or exercise our faith, if that faith is Christianity.

How can I say this? Well, Judge Hamilton in the first story didn't single out Buddhists, or Taoists, or Hindus, or Muslims... He singled out Christians. Which, while trying to follow his perception of the so-called 'Establishment' clause, he violates the 'Free Exercise' clause.

It's stands to reason-- to me at least --that if by adhering to one, you violate the other, your interpretation of the whole is fundamentally flawed. Liberalism therefore-- and by extension, Democrats, has misinterpreted the First Amendment.

But do they misinterpret, or do they deliberately twist the First Amendment? Liberal Democrats are not stupid, or rather, not intellectually challenged. They know what they are doing, and why they are doing it. This makes them especially dangerous.

There is only one real solution here, and that is to do what Lieutenant Klingenschmitt is doing: Take a stand against the Anti-Free Speech, Anti-Religious Left. Law Makers in Indiana should make every effort to pray in Jesus' name, and challenge this federal judge, David Hamilton-- force his hand and make him punish the law breakers... Imagine that! By practicing one's Christian faith, in America, Land of the Free-to-Worship-as-one-pleases we become Law Breakers!

I say, "Stand up, and force it to go to the U.S. Supreme Court!"

If President Bush is indeed a Christian, he should sign the Executive Order for which Lieutenant Klingenschmitt is fighting. Our Constitution is at stake in both these cases. Being a Christian is more than simply standing up for the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, and all Christendom, being a Christian means standing against injustice in all its varied forms.

Truth and Justice sees only Black and White... Evil injects Shades of Gray.
