LIBERAL CALLS FOR PURGE OF CHRISTIANS

Liberal Calls for Purge of Christians

In pursuit of the truth - http://cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Friday, April 25, 2014

By Matt Barber@jmattbarber  on Twitter is an author, columnist, cultural analyst and attorney concentrating in constitutional law.

Ref. http://www/gopusa.com/commentary2014/04/21/liberal-calls-for-purge-of- christians/?sub..

"They were always deadly serious about criminalizing Christianity and killing free speech, but the American left has stopped pretending otherwise. In a recent column titled "Why Are They Called, 'Homofascists'? Here's Why,"

I wrote the "progressive," "Christian-hating fascists" - but I repeat myself - are "hell-bent on criminalizing Christianity and pushing to the fringes anyone who publicly acknowledges natural human sexuality and the age-old immutable institution of legitimate marriage as created by God.

I was referring specifically to the left's well-organized and highly disturbing character assassination of former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich for his private support of natural marriage. I was also addressing the larger goal of the American left to completely shut down free speech and freedom of religion and to severely punish anyone who maintains both biblically and biological correct views of human sexuality....

The very next day, and as if right on cue, lefty rag Slate magazine vomited evidence of my claims. It could not have been better scripted if I'd written it myself.

In an article titled, "Purge the Bigots," Slate writer William Saletan penned these chilling words: "Some of my colleagues are celebrating. They call Eich a bigot who got what he deserved. I agree. But let's not stop there. If we are serious about enforcing the new standard. Thousands of other employees who donated to the same anti-gay ballot measure must be punished.

"More than 35,000 people gave money to the campaign for Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that declared 'Only marriage between a man and woman is valid or recognized in California,'" he continued. "Why do these bigots still have jobs? Let's go get them." (Proud to be one of 35,000)

Now to be fair, Saletan later claimed that his article was intended as satire to illustrate the hypocrisy of his own "progressive" movement. Many, if not most, of his readers seemed to miss the joke, and the article's comments section quickly filled with people agreeing that it was, indeed, time to "purge the bigots" (read: Christians)....

Laurie Higgins of the Illinois Family Institute noted, "The problem with Saletan's satirical piece is that, unlike Swift's 'A Modest Proposal,' Saletan is not outrageous enough. It should be outrageous enough for a satire, but unfortunately, homosexual activists their allies are tyrannical enough to do just what he is proposing....

So here we have Mr. Saletan playing the role of today's Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister, in an effort, albeit a clumsy one, to underscore how utterly out of control his own "progressive" movement has become and, in the spirit of argumentum ad absurdum, gently coax his fellow bohemians from madness....

But as you read the article a frightening reality rises to the surface. It's neither funny nor untrue. None of it. The cultural Marxist American left is 100-percent serious about "purging" Christians from society. They're as serious as Josef Stalin's heart attack.

Continued Saletan: "To organize the next stage of the purge, I've compiled the financial data into three tables" (he actually did this). He then listed details from, and linked to, the Proposition 8 hit list reportedly leaked by the Obama IRS and meticulously assembled and published by the Los Angeles Times.

This is a level of voter intimidation and journalistic terrorism on the part of the Obama administration and L.A. Times that is unprecedented in American history...."

The Los Angeles Times is to the progressive movement in America what the Pravda newspaper  was to the communist movement in Russia.

GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE AND BEN CARSON

Governor Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Wednesday, April 23, 2014

Everything possible must be done to repeat on Facebook the first twenty minutes of Governor Mike  Huckabee on Fox News on Saturday and Sunday, April 12 and April 13. I took some notes but they don't tell the whole story. In some ways, this segment is similar to Ben Carson's talk at the Prayer Breakfast attended by President Obama and V.P. Joe Biden.      

Ben Carson will be a winner in some of the Republican primaries in November and I believe Huckabee should be on stand-bye and not split the conservative vote. Huckabee can be the unifier of all the candidates running for President. He could end up as the Presidential candidate and Ben Carson as the Vice-Presidential Candidate. Why should we allow Progressives to block this outcome? The election is about our culture and the direction the country is going.                        

Thank God for Fox News. But the corrupt Mainstream media is a  serious problem for the whole nation. They promote progressivism 100%, irrespective of the harm it does.

I believe that Political Correctness has dumbed down our nation and making us susceptible to being intimidated and fearful in our own thinking of common sense, natural law and Christian beliefs. The Progressive Movement is waging psychological warfare against our citizens. 

Here are the incomplete notes:

Bullying is bad. Bigots believe they are superior to other believers. There is intolerance and trying to shut down a contrary view point. Bill Roberson is suspended from A&E. Patriots died so we can stand up and speak out. We see corporation run up the white flag. Remember Aug. 1, 2012, Chicken Fillet Appreciation Day to celebrate their CEO's position on marriage is between a man and woman. Well their CEO has apologized for hurting the feelings of the same-sex marriage supporters. Seeking to open new stores in Chicago and
Boston.  Compare this to the Grace family of Hobby Lobby. We have the GAYSTAPO.

We are creating a nation of cowards. Short interview with Tony Perkins from Family Council. We note that Amazon, Starbucks and Apple Computer are promoting Same-Sex Marriage. The left wants to shut down contrary views. This is a whole new challenge within the culture war. Tolerance is a one way street. They want to redefine America. Conservative businesses are going silent and capitulating. This is economic terrorism. Is free speech dead? Brendan Eich resignation from Mozilla. He supported Proposition 8 six years ago. The media controls all of this as it is being represented.  Freedom is a good thing. It is good for everybody. 

George H. Kubeck

How do traditional Americans deal with the Progressive movement in the nation? The canonization of Pope John Paul II thisSunday, April 27, is a step in the right direction for Catholics and the nation. When St. Paul the Great talked about the culture of death that included not only Communism, Nazism but also American Progressivism. This saint is a role model not only for religious leaders but for all politicians. Sadly, today we do not have his kind of leadership in the American Catholic Church. Recall St. Paul the Great along with the American President brought about the defeat of Communist Russia in our lifetime. If we had an American president like President Obama,  we would still be fighting and losing the Cold War.

For Catholics, this new Saint gave us The Catechism of the Catholic Church and the encyclical The Gospel of Life. I recall in 1995, I ran off 50 copies of this encyclical. I still have a few copies left. There was a local printer who charged only one penny per page. Except for several Catholic bishops this encyclical had little influence. They have been gutless with Catholic-in-name-only politicians and in the process so-called Catholic voters voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. This is an historic Catholic shame in American history. Thank you so-called Catholic American  magazine like Commonweal, America and Nation Catholic Reporter. For reference, I don't want to go back to the Catholic vote in Germany and Italy in the 1930's.

GOD - U.S. PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP - OBAMACARE

In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Wed. March 26, 2014

From two sources:

A. "Whenever we speak to God, whenever we open ourselves to God, we ourselves are renewed. Conversely, whenever the world closes itself to God, whenever it turns away from him, it is like a planet broken loose from its field of gravity and forever wandering aimlessly through nothingness.

When a person looses God, he can no longer be genuinely himself because he has lost the fundamental norm of his existence.

When we cut ourselves loose from our proper norm, there remains only excess or reversion. Some theologians suggest, as a precaution, that theology be so worded that it will still be functional "etsi deus non daretur": even if there is really no God.

But if God does not exist, we will have lost more than just an ornamental bauble on the periphery of our existence. If God does not exist, nothing will be as it is now; everything will proceed from emptiness and will revert to emptiness.

What we call justice will be mere caprice that we can rewrite as we will; the struggle of divergent interests (class struggle) will of necessity become the fundamental law of all history.

Whether God exists or not, the answer to that question will ultimately determine whether or not we are human beings, whether human dignity and true human justice can or cannot exist."

Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Co-Worker of the Truth, " Meditations for Every Day..." March 26.

B. Samuel Appoints David: 1 Samuel 16: 1-13

Commentary: Saul was tall and handsome: he was impressive-looking man. Samuel may have been trying to find someone who looked like Saul to be Israel's next king, but God warned him against judging by appearance alone. Appearance doesn't reveal what people are really like or their true value.

Fortunately God judges by character, not appearance. And because only God can see on the inside, only he can accurately judge people. We spend hours each week maintaining our outward appearance, while we should be spending time developing our inner character. While everyone can see your face, only you and God know what your heart looks like..."

 The Catholic Mind of Archbishop Fulton Sheen

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Holy Thursday, April 17, 2014    

Preface: God willing, we will have a St. Fulton Sheen. Ref. Nat. Catholic Register, March 23, 2014

"But the alleged miracle in the case of the newborn Engstrom baby is also a "very significant" symbol for Archbishop Sheen's canonization process."

"Fulton Sheen's own ministry had such a pro-life ministry, Msgr. Deptula said. "He was one of the people very early on who warned this country was heading toward the sin of abortion and really promoted the idea of adopting unborn children spiritually and praying for them."

The Next Phase:

"If the alleged miracle get the Pope's approval, and Fulton Sheen is beatified, he will need another confirmed miracle for the canonization process. The miracle count resets, in a sense, and a new miracle must be recorded as happening after the beatification (although, as in the case of John XXIII, the Pope can waive the second-miracle requirement). Once there is a strong candidate, the process of scrutinizing the miracle repeats.

"My husband and I are praying for God's will, and it it's his will that Fulton Sheen be beatified because of what happened to our son, then that's really exciting." Bonni Engstrom said.

"Still, the alleged miracle's passing such a major test has generated a wave of grateful enthusiasm all over the U.S. Church. Bishop Jenky, whose Peoria Diocese is where the saint first lived and grew up, called the news "a good reason to rejoice.""The Diocese of Rochester, N.Y., which Archbishop Sheen briefly led from 1966 to l969, also chimed in its agreement.

"This is joyous news," said Doug Mandelaro, spokesman for Rochester Bishop Salvatore Matano. "We are so proud that this man, who inspired millions, who touched the hearts and souls of so many - and who served as our bishop - being thus honored by the Church.

"Father Andrew Apostoli of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, a vice postulant for Archbishop Sheen's cause until 2008, was ordained in 1967 by then-Bishop Sheen himself, Father Apostoli said Archbishop Sheen is the right saint for the times.

"Pope John Paul II told us twice to hurry up with this case," he said. "Bishop Sheen was a moral force in the country. People listened to him, even ecumenically. He was speaking in synagogues at that time when we didn't know the meaning of the word ecumenically.

"Archbishop Sheen became most widely known in the U.S. beginning in the 1930s, when he became a popular radio personality; his ministry later moved to television. His Emmy Award-winning weekly TV program, Life Is Worth Living, eventually reached 30 million U.S.A. viewers.

"Father Apostoli noted that the highest percentage of religious groups that listened to him were first, Jews; second Protestants; and third Catholics. A lot respected him, which was tremendous" he said.

Model of Modern Holiness:

"Archbishop Sheen is an excellent model for how the Church needs to conduct the New Evangelization "using new and modern tools," said Msgr. Deptula. "No one is a better example of that than Fulton Sheen. He captured the attention of a generation." he said. "That's the kind of evangelist we need today.

For Bonnie Engstrom, Archbishop Fulton Sheen inspires her to become a saint, especially because she relates well to him: "They're both born and raised in the small towns of central Illinois(just 20 minute drive apart) that look typical small town America.

It's the humble side of this great man's roots, she said, that gives her great confidence in his example. "It just makes holiness - that I can do something great for Christ, even though I live in a really small town and my life can seem so basic."

GEORGE H. KUBECK

I RECALL HIS DAILY EUCHARISTIC DEVOTION AND THE BLACKBOARD AND CHALK WHEN HE DID HIS TV PROGRAM. HE SPOKE THE MIND OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. HE WAS THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. HE WAS SOMEONE WHO WOULD RESOLVE DISSENT AND EXPLAIN THE EVILS OF PROGRESSIVISM IN OUR CULTURE. HE EDUCATED US ON COMMUNISM.

 

The USA Leadership We Once Had

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Monday,  April 14, 2014

 

On this day, April 14, 1805, Abraham Lincoln went to the theatre with his wife. Later she would recall his last words to her:

"He said he wanted to visit the Holy Land and see those places hallowed by the footprints of the Savior. He was saying there is no city he so much desired to see as Jerusalem. And with the words half spoken on his tongue, the bullet of the assassin entered the brain, and the soul of the great and good President was carried by the angels to the New Jerusalem above." Hill, Lincoln, 432-33

 

On this day, March 23, 1775, speaking in St. Paul's Church in Richmond, Patriot and Founding Father, Patrick Henry, made his most famous speech, at the end proclaiming:

"We shall fight our battle alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God! I know not what other course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." Bancroft, History, VII, 274

 

In a letter on this day March 25, 1835, during his second term as President Andrew Jackson wrote:

"I was brought up as a rigid Presbyterian, to which I have always adhered. Our excellent Constitution guarantees to every one freedom of religion, and charity tells us (and you know charity is the real basis of all true religion) ... judge the tree by its fruit. All who profess Christianity believe in a Savior, and that by and through Him we must be saved. We ought, therefor to consider all good Christians whose walks correspond with their professions, be they Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist or Roman Catholic." AJ to Hanson, Correspondence, V. 333

 

When Puritans and Pilgrims experienced a natural calamity - a prolonged drought, a plague of grasshoppers - their response was to search their souls collectively as well as individually in a day of fasting and repentance. Following their example, on this day, March 30, 1863, with the Union's situation progressively worsening, Abraham Lincoln issued this proclamation.

"It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy & pardon... Those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord. Federer, America's, 383

 

As relevant today as when it was written, President Lincoln's March 31, 1863 Fast Day Proclamation declared:

"We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God ... and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves ... to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness." Federer, America's, 383-84

 

William Henry Harrison died on this day, April 4, 1841, one month after placing his hand on the Bible and repeating the oath of office to become the 9th President of the United States. In his Inaugural Address, he declared:

"I deem the present occasion sufficiently important and solemn to justify me in expressing to my fellow citizens a profound reverence for the Christian religion, and a just sense of religious responsibility is essentially connected with all true and lasting happiness." Northrop, Witness, 215

 

General Robert E. Lee issued orders to the army directing the observance of this day April 8, 1864, "As a day off fasting, humiliation and prayer," in accordance with a proclamation by Confederate President Davis. He concluded:

"Soldiers! Let us humble ourselves before the Lord, our God, asking through Christ, the forgiveness of our sins, beseeching the aid of the God of our forefathers in the defense or our homes and our liberties, thanking Him for his past blessings, and imploring their continuance upon our cause and our people." Jones, Camp, 38

Hurdles Practicing Catholics Face in America

In pursuit of the truth - http://cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Tuesday, April 15, 2014

From www.InsideTheVatican.com -

"Never in history have the Church and Her teaching been under attack fro more quarters than right now. Every day the Body of the Church is scourged anew by communists, socialists, Planned Parenthood, radical feminists, atheist authors, "gay" militants, godless academics, worldly reporters and columnists, Hollywood produces, rock starts, occultists, comedians, cartoonists, anti-Catholic fundamentalists, wealthy foundations, "Catholic" dissenters - the list goes on."

Catholic Dissidents Oppose the Bishops

January 30, 2014

"Bill Donohue comments on dissident Catholic organizations who are working against the bishops in their defense of religious liberty.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops filed and amicus brief Tuesday in support of a lawsuit brought by a privately owned business, Hobby Lobby, that challenges the constitutionality of the Health and Human Resources mandate that is forcing its pro-abortion, pro-contraception, and pro-sterilization agenda on those who reject these services as immoral.

Also on Tuesday, seven "Catholic" organizations joined with others to oppose Hobby Lobby. Catholics for Choice is a pro-abortion, anti-Catholic entity; CORPUS, Ethics and Ritual reject the Church's teachings on ordination; DignityUSA and New Ways Ministry reject the Church's teachings on homosexuality; and the National Coalition of American Nuns is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage.

The latter group is particularly interesting. In a Marist poll released last week, it found that 84 percent of the American people favor abortion restrictions. But not the National Coalition of Nuns: in 1989, they signed an amicus brief in Webster v. Reproductive Health Services in favor of unrestricted legal abortion. In 2006, they issued and "open letter" to Catholic voters in support of abortion and gay marriage. The year before, they blasted the selection of Pope Benedict XVI; in 2008, they publicly opposed his papal visit to the U.S. In 2010, when the Catholic League protested the decision by the owner of the Empire State Building not to light the tower in recognition of Mother Teresa's centenary, these nuns signed a letter in support of the owner (so much for the bonds of "sisterhood"). In 1984, this same group opposed formal U.S. diplomatic relations with the Holy See.

Just today, Pope Francis called on Catholic universities to be "uncompromising" in their defense of the Church's "moral teachings." Too bad some nuns are working overtime to subvert his pleas."

We have many enemies within the Church. In every U.S. Diocese we have Catholic-in-name only politicians running for reelection. There are at least three in Orange County. It is a public shame on the Diocese to witness the reelection of Loretta Sanchez for Congress.

Obama Care Quiz

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Friday, April 11, 2014

 

1. True of false?  Obama Care Healthcare plans protect American from paying for abortions.

 

2. True of false?  Religious colleges and universities are exempted from Obama Care regulations that require them to violate their faith.

 

3. True or false? Though many Americans have lost their individual (not employer-sponsored) health coverage through their workplace are safe/

 

4. True or false? Obama Care relies primarily on private individual and workplace health plans to reduce the number of uninsured Americans.

 

5. True or false? Obama Care will lower health insurance premiums by up to $2,500 for typical family per year.

 

6. True of false? Obama Care will decrease the federal deficit, as the president has claimed.

 

7. True of false? Obama Care has already dramatically slowed healthcare spending in America.

 

Answers:

 

1. False. Despite claims to the contrary, most Obama Care insurance plans cover abortion. Trouble is, it's difficult to know which plans do or don't.

 

2. False. In almost all cases, they'll be required to provide free contraception and possible abortion-inducing drugs to their students.

 

3. False. Contrary to the president's emphatic promise - "you'll be able to keep your healthplan, period" - millions of Americans have seen, or will see their insurance plans canceled due to Obama Care regulations. The employer mandates have been delayed until 2015 and 2016 (depending on company size), so millions of Americans enrolled in health plans through work are still likely to see their insurance altered or canceled.

 

4. False. A massive expansion of Medicaid is part of the Obama care plan.

 

5. False. Average premiums will actually rise dramatically for many households. Obama Care's new taxes, mandates and increased regulation will drive up the cost of most families' health care.

 

6. False. Rather than reforming our current entitlement structure, Obama care will expand the role of government in health care and pass the increased costs on to taxpayers. How much? The latest estimates from Government Accountability Office now show the law adding more than $6 trillion to America's deficit over the next 75 years.

 

7. False. Economy experts say the sluggish economy is the primary reason national healthcare spending has grown at a lower rate in recent years. When the economy picks up, healthcare cost increases will follow suit.

Why Marriage Matters Today and Always Tomorrow

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Friday, April 4, 2014

 

Excerpts from Utah's Defense of its Marriage Amendment:Thank You!

"Maintaining the man-woman definition helps prevent further erosion of the traditional concept of marriage as being principally a child-centered institution, one focused first and foremost on the welfare of children rather than the emotional interest of adults. ... the State gently encourages parents to routinely sacrifice their own interests to the legitimate needs and interests of their children.

 

Given its enormous benefits to children generally, the State has an important and compelling interest in encouraging selfless parenting.

 

Maintaining the man-woman definition increases the likelihood that children will be raised by their biological mothers and fathers ... in intact families. Common sense and wealth of social - science data teach that children do best emotionally, socially, intellectually and even economically when reared in an intact home by both biological parents.

 

Maintaining the man-woman definition helps to ensure adequate reproduction by parents willing and able to raise their children in stable homes. By providing special privileges and recognition to sexual unions that, as a class, are uniquely capable of procreation, the State gently encourages that vital activity. Indeed, that is why the Supreme Court has often called man-woman marriage "fundamental to our very existence and survival."

 

Because procreation is an inherent gendered affair, redefining marriage in genderless terms would break the critical conceptual link between marriage and procreation... Given the manifest ills of fatherless parenting, the State has a compelling interest in sending a powerful message to women that, whenever possible, marriage to the father of their children is very important to society itself.

 

The loss of the State's clear message in favor of biological mother parenting within marriage would likely result in a higher percentage of couples conceiving children without the stability that marriage would otherwise bring.

 

Government would likely be pressured - and perhaps agree --:

a) ... to revoke the tax-exempt status of churches or other non-profit religious organizations that refuse on religious grounds to recognize same-sex marriages or to provide benefits to same-sex couples on the same terms as husband-wife couples."

b) ... to investigate, prosecute and punish people in wedding-related businesses for refusing on religious conscience grounds to assist with same-sex weddings."

c) ... to investigate and punish counselors for refusing on religious conscience grounds to counsel same-sex married couples on the same terms as heterosexual couples.

 

Religion-based conflicts between public schools and parents would likely increase as children are taught about sexuality and marriage in ways that contravene parents' and students' deeply held religious beliefs.

 

George H. Kubeck, All the above is a breadth of fresh air, common sense, truth and natural law. All of this is lacking in progressivism.Why
