I love opinion pieces. I love them even more when I can express an off the wall analogy that smacks me in the face from out of the blue.
It’s Easter weekend, the NCAA tourneys going on (go Jayhawks), some people are out buying little outfits for Sunday’s church services- those of you that attend, and then there are those like me who have absolutely nothing better to do. So like you and others I was surfing the net, still researching an article I’ve been trying to write. Every where I go, everything I click on seems to do with Easter weekend and bunny rabbits. And then it dawns on me from way past half court.
Republicans ARE just like the modern day Christian in America. Personally I am an Agnostic so this weekend isn’t for me, although I must admit I do like the extra day off. The Christian community has been silenced for lack of a better term by crazy extremist within the Democrat party. You know it is true so don’t sit there batting your eyes and crossing your arms. “In God We Trust” going away, “Under God” gone, ten commandments ripped down and burnt (metaphorically of course) right along with the flag that it helped to create.
Political Correctness has said that all others are okay to worship, and say whatever and do whatever under the guise of religious freedoms (ie. The Mosque loud speakers in Michigan that sound off five times a day starting at 4:32am- just blasting through the neighborhoods, and it’s okay that’s okay to force on people.) but you Christians you need to be quiet. You need to sit there and shut up, yes you can go to church but don’t tell anyone. Don’t be proud of your heritage, oh no that would be racist, that would be discriminatory. You must except the view of everyone else (and for the most part we do). And so it is with the Republican Party. Oh yes it is. I’ve seen it, I’ve heard it, I’ve lived it.
Now Democrats on the other hand can say the damnedest things and no one will flinch. People have been so calloused by the hateful rhetoric of people the like of Senator Byrd (KKK member) and of Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi that they aren’t shocked anymore. They are right there in your face, cursing you and everything you believe, and daring you to step off the moral high ground and defend it so they can yell some more. Declaring you’re a bigot and a sexist racist warmongering baby killing rich old white-man. It has almost reached the point were you may very well be required to don your little yellow crosses (used to be stars, but this isn’t Germany). It is their way or no way at all pal. They want your freedom, they want your money, they want your church- so they can turn it into an abortion clinic or mosque. These people are evil people. And so it is with the Muslim extremist. I’ve heard it, I’ve seen it, I’ve lived it.
Republicans = Strong Christian moral foundation that created this country (sorry no amount of your rewritting history will change that fact- and I think that pisses you off the most).
Democrats = Osama Bin Laden extremist moral values that believe theirs is the only way, that everybody besides them are infidel, zionist, “Neo-cons”. They demand that the country support their radical agenda that is destined to crash this country into the ground.
Now, enjoy your once Christian turned bunny rabbit holiday weekend. Me I’m going to drink a beer and watch some hoops, March it really is madness.

Democrats are not anti-Christian. Most will tell you they don’t care what religion people practice, as long as they don’t force it down other people’s throats. I would be just as equally annoyed to hear a Muslim bell tolling as I would a Catholic one at any time of the day. The main problem with Republicans today is that they have been aligned and often are synonymous with the Christian right. And although I am Canadian, I believe that your country was built on secular values, not Christian ones, such as those held by Thomas Jefferson et al.

The framers of our constitution were most certainly followers of the Christian faith, of one denomination or another. I myself am not. They did not however want a government ran or sponsored religion. The parrell that I am trying to draw is one that is greater than just that of religion. That is to say that Democrats tend, in more cases than not, to be intolerant, uncomprimising, and just damn right nasty when some one holds a view that is not in the same arena as theirs. Which is contray to the “beliefs” that they themselve pontificate when saying the Democrat party is one for all people. Much in the same way as the Islamic extremist.
On a separate not, a Muslim call to prayer is not “bell ringing”. It is a prayer that is mostly sung, and sometimes spoken all in arabic, into a microphone and then broadcast out over a PA system usually lasting about 5 minutes and can be heard from blocks away. If that isn’t forcing something onto the masses then I don’t know what is (once again Democrats think that this is okay but having “in god we trust” on our money, which is more of a symbol of where we came from than anything else, is a terrible thing.
I appreciate your post CBean, it is noce to get the opportunity to further the conversation and see someone else’s opinion on the matter.

The Left and the Islamofascists are on the same side to the extent that both are anti-rational and anti-free market and anti-freedom in general. Certainly both are equally religious and fanatical in their beliefs.

“You know it is true so don’t sit there batting your eyes and crossing your arms. “In God We Trust” going away, “Under God” gone, ten commandments ripped down and burnt (metaphorically of course) right along with the flag that it helped to create.”
Uh – you know that “In God we trust” is on our money, right? And the phrase “Under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance during the “Red Scare” (originally, the pledge had no such utterance of God), right? I mean, you SEEM to know what you’re talking about, but then again, you could just be another idiot with way too much time on his hands.
Judging from the content of this blog, I’d wager you’re the kind of guy who likes to throw stones, but has no idea why he’s throwing them. You’ve failed.

Well Tom, here we are again. Thanks for posting a comment on my site. I appreciate the opportunities that it brings me to further the conversation. I am well aware of the history and the current state of both quotes, “In God we trust” “Under God” added or not they are a part of tradition and make up our heritage. To rid our country of everything that is not politically correct in the eyes of everyone the country would be a vast wasteland. Which was the point of the comment in the first place. Yes it is printed on money- for now. And, no it has been removed from the pledge. Your guys are batting .500.
Obviously you read a couple of postings and say that I am a stone thrower. Had you read more you would find that I am in fact what your conscience should be. Read something about the freedom of speech from this site and then get back to me. Failure? Drives some to greater accomplishments, the rest get left standing with their hand out expecting a check or chunk of cheese.

As an aside, I find it extremely pretentious to include your academic credentials after your name on a blog. You have absolutely no idea with whom you are conversing, so you should exhibit some humility.

Obviously I am talking to Troy.
