They are falling like a string of dominos, Governors Sanford, Palin and
a number of other Republican leaders, many of them claiming to be
Christians. There is no commanding figure ready and able to lead the
GOP. It's like the opposition to Obama is being neutralized or removed.
I marveled at the blind love, devotion and herd effect for Obama; how
his falsehoods were dismissed as unimportant; how his controversial
associations were ignored; how one with no record of leadership could
become such a leader and wondered if it was a function of 2 Thess 2,
i.e.
"10 And by unlimited seduction to evil and with all wicked deception
for those who are perishing because they did not welcome the Truth but
refused to love it that they might be saved. 11 Therefore God
sends upon them a misleading influence, a working of error and a strong
delusion to allow them to believe what is false, 12 In order that all
may be judged and condemned who did not believe in [who refused to
adhere to, trust in, and rely on] the Truth, but [instead] took
pleasure in unrighteousness."
It's as if God has removed the moral lighthouses and has cut
America loose to go the direction that the majority wants, which is
their own way - amorality, immorality, atheism, humanism, abortion,
pornography, profanity, vulgarity - and not Jesus' Way, so that the
justification for catastrophic judgment on America would be apparent to
and understood by all.
Ezek 14:12 The word of the Lord came [again] to me, saying, 13
Son of man, when a land sins against Me by treacherously and grievously
doing wrong, [acting] without permission, and I stretch out My hand
against it and break its staff of bread and send famine upon it and cut
off from it man and beast, . . . 15 If I cause ferocious and evil wild
animals to pass through the land and they ravage and bereave it, and it
becomes desolate so that no man may pass through because of the beasts;
. . . 17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land and say, Sword, go
through the land, so that I cut off man and beast from it, . . . 19 Or
if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out My wrath upon it in
blood, to cut off from it man and beast, 20 Though Noah, Daniel,
and Job were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they would deliver
neither son nor daughter; they would but deliver their own lives by
their [God given] righteousness [granted by God for their faith in Him]
No one can blame Sarah Palin for resigning as Governor given the facts
that [1] Sarah was forced to spend 80% of her time defending herself
against legal attacks; [2] The Alaskan government had to spend 2
million dollars defending her; and [3] Sarah and her family are now 500
thousand dollars in debt to lawyers because of unwarranted and
groundless
attacks on her and her character. If my employment or position
was putting my family $500K in debt to lawyers, I would quit that
employment/position in a heartbeat. Can you imagine how crushing the
burden of that debt can be for a middle class family like the Palin's.
If it were my family we would have to declare bankruptcy. There is no
question that Sarah Palin and all Bible believing and Jesus obeying
Christian are the objects of attack because of their acceptance of
God's Word re creation, morality, homosexuality, God, Love, Truth,
enlghtenment and enduring Life.
Consider this comparison of the homosexual, atheist, secularist and
humanist attacks on Christians to the Nazi attacks on Christians.
From Scott Lively's essay:
" . . . The probable reason for Hitler's attack on Christianity was his
perception that it alone had the moral authority to stop the Nazi
movement. But Christians stumbled before the flood of evil. As Poliakov
notes, "[W]hen moral barriers collapsed under the impact of Nazi
preaching...the same anti-Semitic movement that led to the slaughter of
the Jews gave scope and license to an obscene revolt against God and
the moral law. An open and implacable war was declared on the Christian
tradition...[which unleashed] a frenzied and unavowed hatred of Christ
and the Ten Commandments" (Poliakov:300)."
"Scott Lively is co-author of The Pink Swastika: Homosexuals and the
Nazi Party (Keizer, Oregon: Founders Publishing Company, 1995). The
Pink Swastika is available by calling 1-800-828-2290. Price is $11.95
including shipping.

The comparison and parrallels that I see: . . . The probable reason for
the homosexuals', atheists', secularists' and humanists' attack on
Christianity in America is their perception that it alone had the moral
authority to stop the homosexual, atheist, secularist and
humanist Christless and amoral movement. But Christians stumbled
before the flood of evil. As moral barriers collapse under the impact
of homosexual, atheist, secularist and humanist preaching...the
same anti-Semitic movement that led to the atheistic, evolutionist and
materialist Nazis and their slaughter of the Jews gives scope and
license to the homosexual, atheist, secularist and humanist
obscene revolt against Jesus and the moral law. An open and implacable
war was declared on the Christian tradition...which has unleashed a
frenzied and unavowed hatred of Christ, the Bible and Christians.

"Speechless: Silencing the Christians
by Rev. Donald Wildmon
"http://www.conservativebookclub.com/products/BookPage.asp?prod_cd=c7328
" . . . the Christian bashers: an unsavory alliance . . . waging
a full-throttle unholy war on Christianity. Wildmon explains in this
shocking book what this unlikely anti- Christian coalition wants -- and
why they must push Christians out of the way in order to get it.
"Wildmon points out that these Christian bashers say they want
tolerance -- but because they have realized that they can achieve their
goals only by driving Christians out of public life, their real goal is
to silence any opposition. In Speechless, he demonstrates the truly
frightening lengths to which they will go in order to marginalize
Christianity and muzzle Christians. He reveals the full, appalling
extent of this anti-Christian campaign, . . . ."
" . . . same-sex marriage laws will raise sodomy to the same legally
protected status as race -- making any criticism of homosexuality
something that would put employees, employers, pastors and others at
legal risk . . . Christians who have actually been threatened with
prison -- just for protesting the homosexual agenda. . . . The
homosexual agenda: to make homosexuals part of an elite class of
super-citizens whose moral views and interests will be actively
sponsored by the state – while Christians will be second-class citizens
at best, with their views censored, penalized and even prosecuted. . .
. How secularist liberals are pushing hard to reinstate the Fairness
Doctrine, empowering the government to monitor all radio and television
broadcasts for religious or political content -- and giving the
government power to censor or bankrupt Christian broadcasters"

"Secularist liberals in Congress seek to censor or bankrupt Christian
broadcasters."

Attacks on Christians
"Rebuttal of Hendricks by DeMar: Maybe right now. The way “hate crime”
legislation is moving, churches may find it difficult in the near
future to say anything critical of homosexuality in general. In a
December 11, 2002 decision, a judge in Saskatchewan, Canada, has ruled
that a man who placed Bible verses about homosexuality in a newspaper
ad was guilty of inciting hatred. What will happen when a minister
refuses to marry homosexuals who have joined the church in an attempt
to test the limits of hate crime legislation? Could a church lose its
tax-exempt status? Could litigation costs bankrupt a small congregation
and set a legal precedent for larger churches? If you want to know what
the future will be like if homosexuals get their way, then read When
the Wicked Seize a City by Chuck and Donna McIlhenny. The church’s
baptism of fire began when their church was sued by their church
organist who had been fired after it was discovered that he was a
practicing homosexual. The homosexual movement is about intimidation."

Get a free Bible from the American Family Association! One per unsaved
teenager, please. . . . Hey, I'm still waiting on my Chronicles of
Narnia DVD collection from the last time we did this "bankrupt the
Christians" business.

Attacks on eHarmony
"It would be no skin off Dr. Dobson's back if eHarmony was forced by
homosexuals to go bankrupt from all the litigation costs to defend
against nationwide discrimination law suites: . . . "Now eHarmony has
been compelled to changed its nationwide policy toward homosexuals as
part of a New Jersey lawsuit settlement." Read the full
