They fear God, they fear Christianity, they fear Christians because they know the only thing that can derail their freedom sucking, pro-death, collectivist schemes is Christianity. Therefore, secularist liberals will do whatever it takes to remove God, Christianity, and Christians from the public.
Weasel Zippers reports:
The Salisbury Maryland City council, in an unprecedented move, voted to remove both the Lord’s prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, Monday night. They used the city charter to revamp the Rules of Order and the council effectively took the time honored traditions off the agenda. If anyone is to pledge allegiance to our country and our flag at a public meeting in Salisbury, they must do so before the meeting becomes official.
The Pledge and the Lord’s Prayer, both gone because a town voted in a majority of Democrats. But that’s what the Democrat party is nowadays. It’s a collection of pro-death, anti-God collectivists.
Now for the funny part. There was a prayer that took place right outside city building that night.
Prior to the vote, Salisbury city mayor, Jim Ireton, held a prayer vigil outside the cities’ government office building. The vigil was held, according to the mayor, because of disproportionate government spending on affluent areas of the city and lack of spending in poorer more minority populated sections, and had nothing to do with the pledge or prayer removal.
Soooo…praying for “social justice” is awesome but all other prayers must be removed?
Here’s the thing. I truly believe the only thing that can save America from totally destroying itself is the Catholic Church. And that’s why the Church is target number one of Big Government.
It is the Church’s radical fidelity to the sacredness of each individual life that is the cornerstone of America’s freedom. Without the Church we get abortion, euthanasia, forced collectivism, and stripped freedoms. And that’s where we’re heading. Oh wait, we’re there already, aren’t we?

And there's one other, additional thing you get without the Church: rampant self-destructive anarcho-capitalism, speculation, the ever-more unequal distribution of wealth, unleashed greed and the worship of Mammon, as celebrated on Wall Street. Don't forget this side of the equation, please. Being Catholic is not about being Pro-Republican and Anti-Democratic; it's not quite as simple as that. 🙂

Yup, we're already there.

Thank you, Flug. The one thing that bothers me so much is how so many equate the Republican/Democrat argument to pro/anti-God all the time. Most politicians in this world are all cut from the same cloth. The system is broken no matter which way you look at it (and neither side has the ability or desire to fix it, since it's not like they're the ones personally suffering through all of this).

Dude, some of your posts are a bit over the top. I like this blog, but some days I end up wondering if possibly you could benefit from some therapy.

I think don't that this post even comments about Republicans at all, just comments about Democrats. Democrats embrace blatantly anti-Catholic positions. They embrace abortion, homosexual marriage & the eradication of God. The post says nothing about Republicans. The church also does NOT embrace the things mentioned by Flugworth either, but then again, neither do Republicans, Libertarians maybe, but not Republicans. I am saddened by the State of ALL of our Politicians, but Democrats in particular embrace what are DISQUALIFYING ISSUES. They are the party of Death. You are right to point out that no party is IDEAL, but Mr. Archbold is pointing out that following church teaching is.

The Declaration of Independence will be next. "endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. If the founding principles of Salisbury, by the way, Salisbury, England is where Lady Godiva told her tax collector husband to stuff it and rode through the town without his clothes, contain the words of petition to Divine Providence, then the founding principles ought to be read before every town council meeting. God bless, unless you live in Salisbury Maryland, than you have to prod along without God's help. When calamity strikes, as it will, too bad we cannot use tar and feathers anymore. In New Jersey several years ago when the state government voted behind closed doors on Christmas day, to lower the age of informed sexual consent to fourteen years for girls, the citizens rose up and demanded change.

We continue to witness, in real time, the unraveling of America. Pray, yes, but do more to expose and remove any and all corrupt scoundrels from public office.

If the Church is to be a radical defender of life, family and morality, She needs to use ALL of the tools at Her disposal. Where is the discipline which should be applied to anti-life, anti-family Catholic politicians? Where are the excommunications?

OUR LADY OF FATIMA TOLD THE CHILDREN OF FATIMA IN 1917 TO PRAY THE ROSARY EVERY DAY AND THAT MORE SOULS GO TO HELL BECAUSE OF SINS OF THE FLESH.
OUR LADY ALSO SAID IN 1973 IN AKITA,JAPAN
“As I told you,if men do not repent and better themselves,the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge,such as no one has ever seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity,the good as well as the bad,sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only consolation which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary,pray for the Pope,the bishops and priests.”
“The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals,bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres…churches and altars sacked;the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.
CATHOLICS,USE YOUR SPIRITUAL WEAPON THE ROSARY AND SAY IT DAILY FOR IT DEFEATS HERESY.
LUCIA,ONE OF THE FATIMA VISIONARIES SAID THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM THE ROSARY CANNOT SOLVE.
OUR LORD WILL SPIT OUT THE LUKEWARM.
WE ARE AT WAR. IF ONLY 10% OF CATHOLICS DID WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO AND PRAY THE ROSARY EVERY DAY,THE CHANGE WOULD COME.
PRAY FOR PRIESTS,
YOURS IN CHRIST,
PRAY,PRAY,PRAY
