		<description>The response to Chris Hedges is a prime example of the double standard in America. If Hedges had said the things he is saying - [Christianity is] a radical religion that is inseparable from Nazi Fascism - a hateful religion that is out to destroy America and everything it stands for and it must be stopped at all costs, Jesus is ....[the] boogyman,  a phenomenon ......akin to Hitlerâ€™s Third Reich&quot; - he&#039;d be slapped with the anti-Semite label and his article would have never been published. 

Notice, Hedges isn&#039;t comparing evangelical Christians to Stalin but to the devil of all devils, Hilter, although Stalin was responsible for many more deaths than was Hitler.   

But because he is attacking Christianity, he gets  nearly an entire page&#039; in the Chicago Sun Times. 

Why the double standard?</description>

		<description>I donâ€™t intend to have a discussion with CF but want to clarify my position. The cancer I diagnose began as the hippy movement and is anti-American and apostate. It may be as large as fifty percent of the US population and I have no interest in blame shifting it to Jews. It has grown out of intentional weakness in Roman Catholic, Black, And Jewish communities, who started calling police pigs, spit on our military and said you canâ€™t impose your traditional religion and morality on us. It began as Cultural Marxism and has developed into a list of other movements to which I frequently refer.</description>

		<description>&quot;And then there is Rabbi Daniel Lapin of Toward Tradition who says, â€œthere are more of these books for sale at your local large book store warning against the perils of fervent Christianity than those warning against the perils of fervent Islam.â€ (â€œA Rabbiâ€™s Warning to US Christians,â€ January 13, 2007)

What Rabbi Lapin is warning us about is books - 21 so far - many written by Jewish authors - who are attacking Christianity. 

&quot;The ADL head bragged that in 2006 more than 21 books or national articles were written about the threat of politically active Christians.&quot; 

It&#039;s okay for AIPAC to be influencing our Congressman, but not evanglelical Christians, according to Foxman. 

Let me state that I am not in agreement of most of what evangelical Christians are doing in regards Israel, and think they have been duped, but that is not the point. Foxman, who is Jewish, is attacking Christians and Christianity, in a country that was founded on Protestant Christian principles and where the majority of the population still considers themselves &#039;Christian&#039; and yet where less than 2% of the population is Jewish. 

In other words, who does Foxman think he is to be telling the rest of us how it should be?</description>

		<description>&quot;Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League

â€œThey [evangelical Christians] are a well-funded, well-organized facet,â€ he intoned, â€œengaged in an aggressive campaign to transform America into a theocracy ruled by their warped view of biblical law.&quot;

As liberals try and destroy christianty they make way for ISLAM, thinking that it is the least &quot;evil&quot; of the two.

I have seen &quot;christian terrorist: yet, but I may be ignorant and have not had the liberal education.

They have no idea what they are unleasing.

It is not for any reason that the book says that the end of our existance will be the battle between the two excisting religions.

Liberals have already decided which side they will take and it&#039;s not supporting the people that made this  continent the way it is and  have allowed their selfish short sighted thinking to destroy it  and sacrified that that made it the way it is.

Sadly, liberalist will never accept responibility as they always deny creating the world they hope for.</description>

		<description>Chris Hedges said &quot;America is under attack by a radical, religion that is inseparable from Nazi Fascism. He feels it is a hateful religion that is out to destroy America and everything it stands for and it must be stopped at all costs...â€œChristian fascistsâ€ in America, a phenomenon he seems to imagine is akin to Hitlerâ€™s Third Reich in its single minded desire to remake America into an image of its own making.&quot;

My  Comment:
I have been looking for what they are advocating and I found something; you will not believe how Facist it is.

&quot;Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happinessâ€”these firmest props of the duties of Men and citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that National morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.&quot; George Washington

I think he is calling for some kind of Christian theocracy. He said if anyone gives the finger to traditional religions or promotes moral relativism they are not patriotic. Who does he think he is telling anybody they are not patriotic. This guy is really scary. Someone better call the ACLU.</description>

		<description>1. the Facists were Italian, not German.
2. the Nazi were National SOCIALISTS, ie. Liberal.
3. In the 20th Century Humanists &quot;realism&quot; murdered tens of millions, Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, of their OWN people. Yet, they blame Christians for &quot;Social Injustices&quot;.
4. Neo-Cons are not Conservative, they are &quot;Liberals that have been mugged by reality!&quot; - Irving Kristol.
5. Neither, republican or democrat parties support the original intent of the Consitution, where our rights are granted by God, both treat our rights as if they are granted by the state.</description>

		<description>Squiggy,

I agree 100%. 

However, it is not just liberals who are destroying the United States. Conservatives have a problem with Truth, Justice and the American Way as well. And it&#039;s been the Conservatives who have been behind the wheel of both the White House and the Congress for six years now, not liberals. 

Let&#039;s not forget the Constitution is our protection from anyone - inside or outside of government - domestic or foreign - who would attempt to subvert our liberty - our way of life. 

Don&#039;t be fooled by labels, even a Republican can wear sheep&#039;s clothing.</description>

		<description>Charles, a liberal by any other name is still a liberal.  And the over-riding goal of them all is the destruction of everything that is good about America.  Truth, justice and the American way are anathema to the left.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not just &#039;socialists&#039; who are attacking what made the United States the country it was, and is becoming no more, but the likes of people like - 

Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League 

â€œThey [evangelical Christians] are a well-funded, well-organized facet,â€ he intoned, â€œengaged in an aggressive campaign to transform America into a theocracy ruled by their warped view of biblical law.

&quot;Today we face a better financed, more sophisticated, coordinated, unified, energized and organized coalition of groups in opposition to our policy positions on church-state separation than ever before,â€ said Foxman. â€œTheir goal is to implement their Christian worldview. To Christianize America. To save us!&quot;

Whoa, there Mr. Foxman, if we were talking about the ADL we&#039;d be tarred and feathered with the anti-Semitic label, wouldn&#039;t we? But attacking Christians is fair game. 

There&#039;s also Michelle Goldbergâ€™s book Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, which accuses Christians of â€œdominion theology.â€

And then there is Rabbi Daniel Lapin of Toward Tradition who says, â€œthere are more of these books for sale at your local large book store warning against the perils of fervent Christianity than those warning against the perils of fervent Islam.â€ (â€œA Rabbiâ€™s Warning to US Christians,â€ January 13, 2007)

		<description>He wants the whole country to become like Chicago, stripped of their traditional religions and patriotism by public schools that impose soviet secularism. Chicago and all our big cities, have traditional religions and patriotism in rich neighborhoods, being replaced by college mascots and gated communities with high walls, deed restrictions and lots of association rules, with a lot more than 10 commandments. Chicago and all our big cities, have traditional religions and patriotism in poor neighborhoods, being replaced by street gangs. Chicago has 100 street gangs and 125,000 members USA TODAY 06/21/06. This trend will continue until we learn a hard lesson that we must return to imposing our traditional religions and patriotism.</description>

		<description>Thatâ€™s how dangerous these soviet secularists are, the whole city could have a total meltdown with riots all around them and they would stand there in the middle of the fire pointing their finger and saying, but youâ€™re not going to impose your religion on us.</description>

		<description>psychologically disturbing

Seems to sum up Chris Hedges.

Christianity bashing has been and will continue to be just another step in acieving the socialists agenda in DC.  

[From &quot;The Naked Communist,&quot; by Cleon Skousen] 
  
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war. 
  
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. 
  
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength. 
  
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. 
  
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites. 
  
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. 
  
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N. 
  
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev&#039;s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N. 
  
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress. 
  
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N. 
  
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.) 
  
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party. 
  
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths. 
  
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office. 
  
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. 
  
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. 
  
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers&#039; associations. Put the party line in textbooks. 
  
18. Gain control of all student newspapers. 
  
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack. 
  
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions. 
  
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. 
  
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to &quot;eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.&quot; 
  
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. &quot;Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.&quot; 
  
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them &quot;censorship&quot; and a violation of free speech and free press. 
  
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. 
  
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as &quot;normal, natural, healthy.&quot; 
  
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with &quot;social&quot; religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a &quot;religious crutch.&quot; 
  
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of &quot;separation of church and state.&quot; 
  
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. 
  
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the &quot;common man.&quot; 
  
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the &quot;big picture.&quot; Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. 
  
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc. 
  
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus. 
  
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities. 
  
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. 
  
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. 
  
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business. 
  
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. 
  
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. 
  
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. 
  
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. 
  
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [&quot;]united force[&quot;] to solve economic, political or social problems. 
  
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government. 
  
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. 
  
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike. 


The above is also known as the Democratic Playbook.</description>
