Obama's Orwellian World Persecutes Christians

The Obama Regime must be reading its Orwell. Anyone remember 1984? War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. The Obama Regime is adding a few more to that list such as bigotry is tolerance and weakness is strength.

What is the Orwellian Obama Regime doing now and why should we be all worried about it?

Since the Obama Regime took power in 2009, it has been blatantly hostile towards not only conservatives, but in particular those who are conservative Christians. Now the Obama Regime is putting one of the top anti-Christian bigots on the payroll as a consultant to help the Pentagon formulate policies on religious tolerance.

Mikey Weinstein is the founder of the Orwellian named "Military Religious Freedom Foundation." As with many far left groups, his mission is just the opposite of the title. He does not want religious freedom for the military. In fact, he wants just the opposite. He wants the military to be a religion free zone. Specifically he wants it to be a Christian free zone.

In a column he recently wrote for the far left The Huffington Post, Weinstein said:

"Today, we face incredibly well funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation's armed forces. Oh my, my, my, how 'Papa's got a brand new bag.'

What's Papa's new tactic? You're gonna just love this! These days, when ANYone attempts to bravely stand up against virulent religious oppression, these monstrosities cry out alligator tears in overflowing torrents and scream that it is, in fact, THEY who are the dispossessed, bereft and oppressed. C'mon, really, you pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers? It would be like the utter folly of 1960's-era southern bigots howling like stuck pigs in protest that Rosa Parks' civil rights activism is "abusing" them by destroying and disenfranchising their rights to sit in the front seat of buses in Montgomery, Alabama. Please, I beseech you! Let us call these ignoble actions what they are: the senseless and cowardly squallings of human monsters.

Queasy with the bright and promising lights of the cultural realities of the present day, those evil, fundamentalist Christian creatures and their spiritual heirs have taken refuge behind flimsy, well-worn, gauze-like euphemistic facades such as 'family values' and 'religious liberty.' These bandits coagulate their stenchful substances in organizations such as the American Family Association (AFA), the ultra-fundamentalist Family Research Council (FRC), and the Chaplains Alliance for Religious Liberty (CARL). The basis of their ruinous unity is the bane of human existence and progress: horrific hatred and blinding bigotry. However, when the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and others correctly characterize them as "hate groups," they all too predictably raise a deafening hue and disingenuously bellow mournfully like the world class cowards they are."

And this guy is supposed to be tolerant? Of course he is typical of the tolerance you find from the left. For the left, tolerance is a one-way street. We have to tolerate them; they do not have to tolerate anyone who disagrees with them.

This is not simply a morality battle over whether Christians have the right to proselytize in the military.

This is a morality battle but it is much more significant.

The left loves morality battles. They love to accuse conservatives of trying to push their morals on other people. There is always something that is left out of what the left says.

Morals are simply a common set of values that govern a society. In America, ours come from the Judeo-Christian heritage of this nation. These are common morals, such as do not murder, do not steal, and do not lie.

There is no such thing as a morals free zone. The only question is, whose morals will be the dominant morals?

The left hammers conservatives about trying to proselytize and impose our morals on everyone else (although amazingly enough those morals are shared by a majority in this country), while they are going about trying to do the same thing.

What happens when you strip the conservative values away from a military or even a society, as the far left wants to do?

We have seen it over and over again.

We saw it with the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution. We saw it in the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. We saw it in the Stalinist Soviet era. We saw it in Nazi Germany. We saw it in the Maoist revolution in China after World War II. We saw it in South East Asia in the 70's after America pulled out.

When you strip morality from a military and a society, something has to replace it. In each case, in the last hundred years, when that has happened, the result has been tyranny and mass murder on an unprecedented scale.

This battle is not simply a battle over religious freedom in the military. It is a battle for what will happen in America. Americans sleep well at night knowing the members of the military and law enforcement have a moral underpinning that will not allow them to turn on American citizens.

Destroy that moral underpinning and what do you get?

You get poverty, tyranny and mass murder.
