Good point MY, but it will never happen, not in our life time anyway.<br />It's just like a tug-a-war right now between the 2 partys.<br />Sad, very sad.Originally posted by mellowyellow:<br />the very next word after God is "indivisible"...<br />wearing a tee-shirt right now that has our flag<br />and the words; "united we stand". just how many<br />non-issues that divide and conquer us do we have<br />to deal with today? politics in 21st century?<br />liberals have their issues, conservatives have<br />their's... what about our leaders UNITING this<br />great country?<br />so sad IMHO...
Rest assured, mikeandronda, at the rate we are going, that is exactly where we are headed! In this instance you would think that Plywoody et al, was being asked to drink a cup of hemlock by being exposed to the the word or concept of God.<br /><br />Their reaction is way out of proportion to any objection or disbelief they may have to exposure to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So why then this unrelenting onslaught? There is absolutely no doubt that it goes well beyond any concern over 'seperation of Church and State', unfairness, exclusion, diversity, multiculteralism, etc & ad nauseum. <br /><br />Why is it that this 'group' has had to so cleverly couch their true objectives in benign terms that gain the support of the unthinking, over-cerebral, progressive types that are only an unwitting part of their program?<br /><br />All of the arguements supporting the retention of 'under God' are pointless if one does not accept this one single True Fact. The object here is not to just send us poor feeble misguided Christians back to our homes and Churches, it is to Destroy Christianity.<br /><br />Antonio Gramsci, the turn of the century Italian Marxist and revolutionary, stated that 'two thousand years of Christianity had made the Western soul impenetrable to Marxism'. <br /><br />He stated that 'Marxists must cooperate with progressives to capture the institutions that shape the souls of the young, ie, the schools, colleges, movies, music, arts and the new mass media radio that comes uncencored into every home. That once the cultural institutions were captured that a united left could begin the de-Christianization of the West.'<br /><br />He stated that after several generations the West would no longer be the West but another civilization altogether, and that control of the State would inevitably follow the control of the culture.<br /><br />The evidence is all around us folks. Gramsci's 'Long March' is headed toward the finish line. As C.S. Lewis said "As Christians we are tempted to make unnecessary concessions to those outside the faith. We give in too much...there comes a time when we must show that we disagree. We must show our true Christian colours, if we are to be true to Jesus Christ. We cannot remain Silent or concede everything away"<br /><br />Amidst all that has been said regarding religion (Christianity) in our society T.S. Elliot, in 1939, wrote "A people without religion will in the end find that it has nothing to live for"<br /><br />I'll leave you with the following speech by Earl Warren, Chief Justice in 1954. " I believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the Good Book and the Spirit of the Savior have from the beginning been our guiding geniuses...Whether we look to the first Charter of Virginia...or to the Charter of New England...or to the Charter of Massachusetts Bay...or to the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.. the same objective is present: a Christian land governed by Christian Principles."Originally posted by mikeandronda:<br />So what are you gonna do when the "minority" decides the useing wood products is wrong and demand we only use plastics from now on, or the minority decides hunting and fishing is cruel........![]()
