B-Man Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Christianity and the Hypocrisy of the Left by Scott Hoganson The American Left is like a dog with a bone when it comes to attacking religion. Barely a day goes by without somebody holding some totalitarian worldview yelping about how Christianity in the United States is creating a new era of racism or anti-LGBTQism or some other form of generalized hate for something or other. The Left recently warned that flying the colonial era “Appeal to Heaven” flag is a leading indicator of one who is “extremely invested in the semiotics of American fascism.” No less alarming is how Christianity is fomenting an “ideology that justifies any tyranny that one’s nation might inflict.” Such dangerous behavior is surely fueled by the irresponsible rhetoric of the Right-Wing political class. Imagine the fevered ravings of a radical Christian Nationalist talking to and through the national media, to practically insist that freedom loving Americans abandon our civic norms with the veiled demand, “I ask you to join with me in prayer." This extremist invokes the name of “almighty God” with a hubristic request for providential intervention “to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization.” This theocratic rant then leads to imploring this almighty God “to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith,” and this toxic sentiment is punctuated with “O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee.” Perhaps the darkest passage comes when this man, this threat to democracy, tries to coerce mindless simps into submission saying “Thy will be done, Almighty God,” as if some spirit in the sky has anything to do with anything. He then demands that “people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer,” a hair's breadth away from the establishment of religion. It’s nothing short of a militant call for replacing our cherished freedoms with an oppressive, government-imposed belief system. In the parlance of the American Left, this is something we might expect from "Christian boogeyman" and House Speaker Mike Johnson or “fake Christian” Donald Trump or an "unhinged" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene but it’s not. It’s Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressing the nation on D-Day. https://townhall.com/columnists/scotthogenson/2024/06/09/christianity-and-the-hypocrisy-of-the-left-n2640103 Link has the full address. .

Is respecting the same thing as honoring and celebrating? I respect the journalistic achievements of Glenn Greenwald and have no opinion either way on the way he lives his life, even if he is self-hating, but don’t feel the need to honor or celebrate him in any way.

Think about honoring and even celebrating the progress we have made in America, and the role of all of us regardless of sex/gender in making that happen. I don't see the need to honor and celebrate every black American, but Black History Month is still important.
