Congresswoman Sally Kern continues to be maligned with impunity for her stand for Christian Values and Morality by homosexual activists that are now taking steps to propagandize the citizens of Oklahoma with cherry picked sound bytes that portray her as a hating bigot.
The fact of the matter Congresswoman Kern is a loving Christian that is an example of sharing the Good News with homosexuals to minister a better way of life.
Read this update from Thinking Through … by Stephen Black:
Here is an example of Leftist Judges establishing Secular Humanism as a religion in America. A father in Massachusetts in 2005 was upset that the Public School sent home reading material for his son promoting the acceptance of homosexual behavior.
The Father file a civil suit against the Public school which was dismissed in Federal Court and in the Appellate Court ruled that teaching homosexuality did not violate parental rights. Now the Father is taking his cause to the Supreme Court.
Another family became upset with a Public School in 2006 because it sent home reading material for their second grader about two homosexual Kings that were lovers. This family joined the Father of the five year old in the Law Suit which is on its way to the Supreme Court.
On paper this Law Suit is about Parental Rights VS what the Government can instruct children in Public School.
The reality is different. It is about establishing the value and moral system of Secular Humanism in America. That makes a system that calls itself “secular” a religious system.
Leftists have interpreted the First Amendment’s intent of NOT establishing a State religion as Separation of Church and State. The phrase “Separation of Church and State” is found no where within the United States Constitution in the original document or the first 10 Amendments that has come to be known as the Bill of Rights.
Leftist Courts have used the illusion of Separation of Church and State to slowly erode Christianity from any connection in government on the local, State and Federal level. These Leftist Christophobes have changed Community Nativity Scenes that have been found on public grounds because it violates the Separation of Church and State myth. Leftist Courts have begun telling the Government to remove references to Judeo/Christianity from public buildings because it violates the Leftist interpretation of the First Amendment. The primary public property removals usually relate to the Ten Commandments or Crosses at Public Memorials. These representations of Christianity are symbols of values and morality; thus Leftist Courts are refuting Christian values and Christian morality in the name of the delusion of the Separation of Church and State.
Secular Humanism has emerged as a religion that places faith in the objective evidence of human discovery (facts derived by the validation of Science). Secular Humanism glorifies humanity as self-existent rather than created by God. In other words values and morals are relative to what feels good for humanity in the sense realm. Thus what is normal like a male and female is the foundation to producing progeny. The progeny learning their roles in life from the examples set by male and female parents.
Since it feels good to a group of humanity to have same gender sex, Secular Humanist morals and values would dictate that children acquired (obviously not produced from the same gender) can learn what is normal from same sex cohabitation.
In Secular Humanism, values and morality are measured on a sliding scale rather than a paradigm that fixes normality, values and morals.
Faith in Secular Humanism has probably led to the greatest degeneration of Western Society. Violence, promiscuity (homosexuals and heterosexuals), community trust, the disintegration of the cohesion of the family which leads to mutual disrespect between human individuals and on and on.
In essence Secular Humanism is a religion.
The First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Judicial Branch of Government has basically ESTABLISHED Secular Humanism as the Religion of the Land. The Judicial Branch’s extra-Constitutional legislation has overstepped it’s purpose. The Congress is the Legislative Branch which exists to create law and the parameters of a fiscal budget within the confines of the Constitution. The Presidential Administration is the Executive Branch which exists to manage the Government and enforce the Laws enacted by the Legislative Branch. The Judicial Branch exists to adjudicate civil and government law. The Judicial Branch interprets law and provides clarity to gray areas of law.
Legislation is not the Judicial Branch’s jurisdiction; yet that is exactly what Leftists in the Judiciary have done by ESTABLISHING Secular Humanism as the religion of the Land. Thus forcing the traditional religion of the Land too often being in contradiction of the unconstitutional Established State religion of Secular Humanism.

Moral Relativity in America

Here is an interesting study that probably drives same sex couples (homosexual sinners) nuts for the data suggests that morality decreases in societies in which normal nuclear families decrease. Yes I am writing of Godly morality. The study had little to do with a focus on homosexuality but rather on secularization.
Apparently the predominant theory is secularization advances a decrease in the belief of God and thus a secularization of morality meaning viewing morality in Secular Humanistic terms, i.e. moral relativity.
Moral relativity is the bedrock of the cultural acceptance of alternate lifestyles such as homosexuality that is in direct contradiction of Christian/Biblical morality.
Mary Eberstadt’s essay entitled “How the West Really Lost God” suggests that the traditional nuclear family tends to have a stronger belief system in the existence of God and thus a Deity influence on the lives of people. To me this suggests that the lack of Godly morality dilutes the values that make a culture strong. Value dilution affects other aspects of society such as birth rates and the strength of a homogenous cultural foundation.
Imagine if governments pull a big switch-up and begin to plug the value of God in the lives of their citizens. I am not suggesting the government legislate religion (in America anyway); however I am suggestion the government promote the values that come from religion. Currently the government particularly invokes restraint on the Christian religion in particular. Due to the slanted left Secular Humanist influence Christian values are overtly removed from public forums such as local governments and public schools. Nearly a half a century of this bombardment has eroded the strength of the nuclear family, more so in Europe than America yet still distinctly influencing America.
In Secular Humanism’s battle to decrease the permeation of Christianity in Western society multiculturalism is a weapon utilized to confuse the issue of cultural foundations of faith in the West. Judeo/Christianity and Greco/Roman philosophy is the religious/cultural foundation of the West. Secular Humanism’s insistence on placing Oriental and Mohammedan religions on an equal par in public education further dilutes the West’s nuclear family. Certainly a comparative aspect of all religions should be taught in public education to understand what is foreign but not to the exclusion or demonization of the West’s religious/cultural foundations.
It was lame to allow slanted left Secular Humanistic umbrella organizations to re-invent the non-Constitutional term “Separation of Church and State” as excluding the Christian faith from public institutions beginning roughly with the 1960’s. America enjoyed nearly two hundred years of Judeo/Christian values as a public influence. I mean the Ten Commandments and Christmas Carols are values that were inculcated in the public domain as a natural order of thought even under American Constitutional Law until an atheist talked the Supreme Court to change the Constitution by fiat rather than by Amendment.
I have had centrists to Leftists write to me that H.R. 1592 has zero references to eliminating the free speech and thoughts of Bible believing Christians. And you know what, they are correct.
The language of H.R. 1592 is full of protections that reinvent cultural morality naming sexual deviants as protected. This means if morally sexual deviants are criticized it would become a hate crime.
What group of people will have the largest civil disobedient voice to H.R. 1592? Yeah, that would be the Christians.
May 3, 2007 is the day H.R. 1592 is heading for a vote at the House of Representatives. I like what The Political Incorrect Blog has to say about this House Bill:
PHILADELPHIA – Repent America (RA) is urgently calling Christians not to exercise their "right to remain silent" as the federal "hate crimes" bill proposal, H.R. 1592, heads for a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, May 3, 2007.
"H.R. 1592 is an unnecessary, unconstitutional, and un-American bill, which, with the aid of homosexual-friendly prosecutors, will be used to criminalize Christians for their thoughts, beliefs, and speech," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. "The silence of the American church, together with the unrelenting rage of the ungodly, will soon result in the widespread incarceration of true believers," said Marcavage.
In October of 2004, eleven Christians with RA were arrested while ministering and preaching the Word of God and the Gospel message on the public streets and sidewalks of Philadelphia during a taxpayer-funded celebration of homosexuality. After spending 21 hours in jail, the District Attorney’s office charged the eleven under Pennsylvania’s hate crimes law, along with a host of other felony and misdemeanor charges. These charges were later dismissed, but if convicted, the Christians would have faced up to 47 years in prison and $90,000 in fines each.
"If H.R. 1592 is passed and signed into law, it will go beyond the state’s anti-‘hate’ arsenal, and supply federal prosecutors with the ammunition to police our thoughts, beliefs, and speech with even much broader applications," Marcavage said. "The First Amendment is already on life support, particularly as it applies to religious liberty. Christians must diligently work to revive our liberties by working to stop the homosexual agenda and its allies from pulling the plug. Otherwise, preparations should be made for the funeral, but this time without the preacher," Marcavage concluded.
"Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? … Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?" (Psalm 94:16, 20) (The Political Incorrect Blog)
World Net Daily poses the question: Will President Bush veto H.R. 1592 if it reaches his desk? Let us pray the Christian in the President overcomes the politician and he indeed would veto the Bill.
H.R. 1592 is being lobbied hard behind the bucks of homosexual rights groups. Why would homosexuals lobby for something that is already in the Constitution for individuals? Reason: Because homosexuals wish to legalize perversion of Christian Morality as a protected group as race, religion and gender. Amoral and immoral Leftists are with the perverted homosexuals and cross dressers. It is time for Christians to make their voice heard again. FORGET about the Bush disappointments and vote Republican to battle perversion in America. Certainly Republicans are not perfect; however in THIS moment the Republican Party is the best instrument God is using to combat ungodly thinking in America. IF you are a Christian Democrat, at least vote out your Congressman if he/she supports UNBIBLICAL perverted morality. This is not a question of Capitalism VS Socialism; this is about morality and Freedom Speech and Thought in America. Vote for morality in 2008.
Much of the Academic Lefties spewing an education into the young minds of Secondary and Collegiate American Students is revisionist and based on an agenda that every perception evolves.
For Lefties the U.S. Constitution is a living document in that it evolves for what is relevant for the now as the Constitution ages. Thus relative to yesteryear today’s culture and morality has transformed to what is applicable to culture and life today. This Secular Humanistic relative morality has allowed Lefties to infiltrate government and media influences to fight for a secularism that relegates America’s Judeo/Christians to the realm of archaic myth instead of foundational faith.
As Christians began to wake up to what was occurring in America they began to gravitate toward an activist Christian based politics. The Lefties hated this stiffening of opposition. Their hatred first became public by publicly proclaiming the old Christian morality was archaic therefore these Christians must be backward mindless morons. The arrogant Leftie attitude meant we are correct because we are intelligent and Christians are cretinous because they follow faith. Secondly Christian faith evokes racism and hate crime thought because Christianity stands against the debauchery known as homosexuality and atheism. Thirdly Christianity should not have any influence in America because the Lefties have trained Americans that an extra-Constitutional terminology “Separation of Church and State” prohibits Christians from any activity within any form of governmental auspices.
The Leftie first objection is the ranting of a child that cannot stand to be told it is wrong.
The later two Leftie objections to Christianity are justified by revising history misconstruing facts to fit the mold of ever evolving cultural relativity. When a Christian or Conservative offers a valid refutation to Leftie revision, the Leftie falls back on their first objection: i.e. Christians are archaic mindless morons. If a Christian is a moron then it follows that any presentation of their data must be tainted and invalid.
Christians that follow Christ Jesus do not practice racism or intolerance; however a good Christian does not accept behavior counter to Biblical morality as valid. Adultery, sex outside of marriage, homosexuality and other Biblically scandalous behavior is not to be validated but rather to be reached out in love to follow The Way of Jesus Christ. That is not hatred; it is standing for what is good and strait rather than what is wrong and twisted.
As far as the “Separation of Church and State” goes, there is NO such phraseology in the United States Constitution. The term is derived from a speech President Jefferson delivered at a Church speaking his opinion that there is a “Wall of Separation” between what the government tells the Church or individuals to believe and visa versa as regard to the Church controlling government laws.
The First Amendment of the Constitution reads thus:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. (Constitution)
One must notice that the clause pertaining to religion does not disenfranchise Christianity from government, indeed the clause prohibits the government from establishing a National State Church and most importantly the clause prohibits the government from interfering in the practice of “religion.”
In the Founding Father’s day religion was Christianity in the sense of getting “That old time religion.” The clause also implies the government cannot force an individual to practice the tenets of Christianity. Nonetheless the Constitution is a Rule of Law based on the tenets of Christian faith: no murder, no theft, and protection of life, liberty and the lawful pursuit of happiness. The pursuit of happiness does not mean legalizing unrestrained moral deviation.
With that in mind read Dennis Prager’s essay entitled, America founded to be free, not secular. Prager demonstrates how Leftie educational elites in America are processing revisionist history in America’s Schools!
