Answer # 1: President Obama's culture of death is at war
with American Christian voters and the Constitution:
Answer # 2: Yuval Levin is the Hertog Fellow at the
Ethics and Public Policy Center and editor of National Affairs. From his article
in First Things, Feb. 2016, "The Perils of Religious Liberty."
"In our time, too, a season of intolerance has dawned.
Over the fast few years, the Obama administration has actively worked to
isolate, vilify, and intimidate opponents of abortion, for instance, making it
increasingly difficult for them to run a business or operate in the public
square in accordance with their convictions.
The Supreme Court, meanwhile, has declared the
traditional understanding of marriage as anathema, [ 50 million
had voted for traditional marriage.] and left wide open many vexing questions
about the standing of individuals, groups, and institutions who continue to
uphold that understanding. [THE DECISION BY ONE CATHOLIC-IN-NAME-ONLY SUPREME
COURT JUSTICE.]
Major corporations have launched brazen attacks
on communities seeking to carve out spaces on competing views on such questions.
The key organs of popular culture have declared dissenting views on
sexuality and marriage unfit for polite conversation, setting off occasional
high profile witch hunts against dissenters and enabling an environment
of intimidation well beyond those.
Prominent academics and civil liberties
organizations have raised the prospect of stripping churches of their tax
exemptions and pursuing litigation to require private companies to be led and
staffed by people who pledge allegiance to the moral creed of the
left.
Major newspapers have begun to put the phrase
"religious freedom" in scare quotes, as if everybody understood that it is just
a cover for bigotry abusing the sacred name of liberty...
Ever since nation's founding, if not since the dawn of
the enlightenment, the liberal society has been at war with its own moral
foundations, they argue. ...
Religious liberty has therefore become the foremost
public priority of social conservatives, and the importance of that first
freedom has taken center stage in our case to larger society....
Religious liberty is plainly essential for the endurance
of our free society and for the protection of the rights and freedom of the many
millions of Americans who dissent from the caustic Gnosticism that
increasingly dominates our culture. The cultural revival we yearn for is only
imaginable if we fight now against the suppression of dissenting views on moral
questions. ...
The legal arena is where the case for religious liberty
seems most straightforward and securely rooted. The First Amendment to the
Constitution declares that "Congress shall make no laws respecting the
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." These
sixteen glorious words make for a sword, a shield, and like a banner for today's
beleaguered believers. They seem to safeguard the right of every American to
live by his convictions. But let us consider what they really demand, an and
on what grounds..."
George H. Kubeck,
The culture of death onslaught is a national secular
religion which should be brought to the Supreme Court that the establishment of
this secular religion is unconstitutional.
Furthermore, it would be wise for all pro-life, marriage
and family supporters take a second look at Ben Carson for the Presidency. He
would unify the Republican party and the nation. Ben is an authentic black
American, a respected common-sense solution minded conservative. We need a role
model.
