Yesterday, I
wrote about The
New Tolerance and a few thoughts on what is taking place with Chick-Fil-A. In a nutshell, the new tolerance is driven by
multiculturalism and a belief that ALL worldviews (beliefs) are equal. Multiculturalism or tolerance is the belief
that there are no absolutes. It is symbolized
in the bumper sticker “Coexist.” The
reality is this tolerance actually becomes very intolerant to individuals of
faith, specifically Christians, as we have witnessed this week.
Americans have
been inundated with this “worldview” in our secondary schools, post-secondary
schools, media and the entertainment industry now for decades and our
collective indoctrination has in large part led to our departure from moral
absolutes. This is showing up in the
leadership we put in power. When history
is seriously studied, one recognizes that when moral absolutes and the Judeo-Christian
worldview abandoned, freedom actually is diminished. That is what we are experiencing today in
America.
The political
leadership of our country, in both parties, is not currently taking the top three
most pressing issues to the loss of our freedoms seriously. Each of these issues, are grounded in
absolutes. These are:
- Living within our means. The U.S. Senate has not passed a budget in over three years. The absolute is we cannot indefinitely spend more than our revenues. Furthermore, we cannot indefinitely increase our spending.

- Securing our Borders. The absolute is, if you don’t defend your borders, you cannot remain a sovereign nation.
- Identifying and clearly articulating worldviews that are in opposition to our Constitutional Freedoms.
There are
countless organizations that are focusing on the first issue. This is an important issue to focus on. There are many good organizations that are
dealing with the second issue. This also
is an important issue. Today, I am going
to address issue number three, because similar
to the issue I addressed yesterday, our
political leadership has been indoctrinated with the Political Correctness based
in The
New Tolerance, resulting in a hesitancy to speak out on the issue, because
of the three tactics of The New Tolerance:
- No Agreement is Phobia
- Nonconformity is Hate
- Conviction is Fanaticism - “One of the necessary results of the new tolerance is the loss of convictions (see Chapter 4 of The New Tolerance). If no ‘truth’ is any more true than any other ‘truth,’ then there is no truth worth defending. If there is no truth worth defending, there is no room for conviction – particularly religious conviction (and, even more particularly Christian Conviction.
The worldview
I am referring to is Radical Islam, and specifically the reality of The Muslim
Brotherhood’s written commitment to “destroy the west and its ‘miserable house’
from within, by their own hands.” Much
has been written in the last week about Michelle Bachman, who sits on The House
Intelligence Committee and four other Congressman who simply wanted an investigation
of a member of The State Department, who’s family has clear ties to The Muslim
Brotherhood. See
Cal Thomas’s July 28th piece in The Baltimore Sun for Specifics.
One would
think that such an inquiry is what would be expected to come out of The U.S. House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
One would think it was the job description of those serving the US
public on that committee to raise such valid questions. The reality is Michelle Bachman and the other
four leaders were reprimanded by GOP leadership, including Speaker John Bohener
and Senator John McCain. There was even
talk of removing her from this committee.
Curious, because serious intelligence/security questions were raised,
they were at risk of losing their seat on the Intelligence Committee. Our world truly is upside down. The New Tolerance prevents our political leadership
from doing the right thing – that is why we need new political leadership.
I firmly
believe that only if the American People demand our leadership get serious on
these issues, will they get serious. Please
invest the 22 minutes to watch this video, by my friend Frank Gaffney, who
can more clearly articulate this issue than most individuals I know:
Two things
must take place:
- We, the American Citizenry, must learn these issues so we can articulate to our elected officials why they must address the issues they are too timid to address without pressure from us.
- Two Resources that I highly recommend:
- The Constitution or Sharia: Preserving Freedom Conference DVD – This was a one day Convention where over 20 International Speakers participated, educating over 700 people who travelled to Nashville on 11/11/11 to be educated on the threat of Sharia Law in the US and the Muslim Brotherhood Worldwide.
- The Muslim Brotherhood In America – This is a 10 Part Web Based Course, conducted by Frank Gaffney
- We need to elect and re-elect courageous leadership.
In addition
to Michelle Bachmann, two other leaders who are asking the hard questions, Rep.
Trent Franks of Arizona and Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas are individuals that The Government is Not God PAC is supporting. The Government Is Not God PAC plans to run
issue advocacy ads similar to
this in key markets throughout the republic in the 2 months leading up to
the election. We need your help to run
these ads AND to help re-elect the men and woman mentioned above, and others! Please donate today!
