The inability to distinguish between civics and politics. See if it resonates here
1.Civics is the stuff weāre all supposed to agree on and in terms of our nation that should begin here: āWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.ā Thomas Jefferson
2. Where did Jefferson get that idea?
1:26, KJV: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likenessā
There is no way to see the connection with the biblical statement and not recognize that America was founded based on biblical precepts. That means that religion and religious freedom are inseparable from the heritage of Americaās people. As is the belief that all of us are equal before the law.
3. The two terms āequalā and āfreedomā come from the above and are the ācivicsā that all Americans are supposed to agree on.
You are not an American if you do not subscribe to those civics ideas.
And that is the problem with Nazi Germany And Bolshevik Russia.
And with the Democrat Party as it is so constituted: its agenda is based on treating people differently based on race, class and gender.
4. No matter how false the āeducation,ā in government school, no matter how they have corrupted your ideas, Democrat votersā¦.
I bet you are unable to make an argument against āequalā and āfreedom.ā Yet a vote for the Democrat Party is a vote against both.
And parroting the dogma that they have programmed into you without being able to explain and defend it, is redolent of Nazi Germany And Bolshevik Russia, not a hallmark of America or Americans.
If one of the two parties does not, any longer, agree that America is America due to basic, unalienable rights, such as religious liberty, equality, and free speechā¦
ā¦..can that party claim to be American?

Attacks on Religion...The Liberal Drumbeat
1. drumĀ·beat
(drÅmā²bÄtā²)
n.
Vehement,persistentadvocacyofacause:
drumbeat
2. Just as our government has no business funding the slaughter of the unborn....public schools should not be funded either based that drumbeat of attacks on religion:
"Student says teacher taught 'God is not real'
A Katy [Texas] seventh grader ...says her teacher asked the class to deny God exists.
... it all happened during a class assignment and now the school is apologizing.
...the teacher that came up with the assignment is distraught, and on Tuesday the principal determined the assignment wasn't something that was necessary for students.
[Jordan] Wooley originally answered the question 'there is no God' in two ways. "I said it was fact or opinion," said Wooley, adding she answered that way because "based on my religion and based on what I think and believe, I do not think it was a common place assertion."
Wooley says her seventh grade reading teacher at West Memorial Junior High School said both her answers were wrong and that she had to admit God wasn't real.
"It was really confusing to me at first because I didn't really know what to do, so the first thing I did was tell my mom," Wooley said.
Her mom Chantel couldn't believe it.
āThat a kid was literally graded against her faith in [G]od in a classroom ....
"So the kids were caught in a Catch-22," said Chantel. "If they argued their faith, they were being told they were arguing against their faith and that happened in the classroom."Student says teacher taught 'God is not real'
Recently one of our Liberal pals posted this:
"...bible crazies coming out weekly talking on campus.." Why Liberals Hate Free Speech | Page 3 | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
When asked to explain that reference..........he ran off and hid.
Now....where would he have learned that?

".... the public school indoctrinators formerly known as āteachers.ā The Obama power grab--supported by his adoring adherents--has just about reached the most monumental proportion of all time.
... Obama may have finally reached the apex of his desires; that of replacing God with himself.
Recently, at New Jerseyās B. Bernice Youngs Elementary School, not only were second grade students forced to sing a song of praise to Obama (the parents were not notified that this was occurring) but, Obamaās name was substituted for that of Jesus in the accompanying words and music.
... Could this be the reason that the atheists have fought so hard to get rid of Christianity? Is this secular messiah their planned replacement? Even more important a question to Christians and Messianic Jews is ādoes this portend biblical end times prophecyā?
.... school systems and willing adherents are pushing to corrupt and take over the very souls of our children. ... the now largely Marxist government-run US public schools system is taking advantage of our childrenās lack of defenses in order to indoctrinate them into the growing Obama-Marxist secular utopia."

3. "On Tuesday, Katy [Texas government school] released a statement saying, in part, that the assignment was
intended to encourage critical thinking and dialogue and not question any students' religious beliefs.
[A truly indefensible excuse.]
"Are we talking about impressionable 12- or 13-year-olds or are we talking about 24-year-olds in college who already have a firm grasp of the world around them?"
"I love reading so for me personally to have
to fail reading because of what my beliefs are just shocked me," Wooley said.
Wooley says
the assignment was in fact graded, so she says she would've had to have contradicted her faith to pass. ... We went to the teacher's home for a response but she never came to the door.
Katy ISD said in a statement that the assignment was to encourage critical thinking and dialogue and not question any student's religious beliefs.
Student says teacher taught 'God is not real'
The assignment was graded....and to pass, a student had to deny her faith.
Anyone believe that that assignment was designed "to encourage critical thinking" rather than advance a political agenda?
Has anyone ever seen 'critical thinking assignments' in government schools dealing with the Leftās love affair with Marxism, Socialism, Racialism, the slaughter of 100 million during the last century, the Command Economy, or public debt?
Both the bias and hatred of traditional American values, and the failure to educate, are reasons to end public schools monopoly.

The context that
explains the antipathy to religion by the Left, is the following:
For an historical perspective....
two eras of American history stand out.
This nation was founded by religious individuals, based on a religious foundation, ....
4. First:
"The reason our revolution was so different from the violent, homicidal chaos of the French version was
the dominant American culture was Anglo-Saxon and Christian.ā52 of the 56 signers of the declaration and 50 to 52 of the 55 signers of the Constitution were orthodox Trinitarian Christians.ā

a. Believers in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, or, as they would be known today, āan extremist Fundementalist hate group.ā Coulter
b.
"The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were... the general principles of Christianity. ...I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God." -

5. Then,
the explanation for the great sea change in America:
All of that changed during
the Roosevelt Administration, when a widely popular
President embraced communist Joseph Stalin, and provided a home for communism in this nation.
a. "There is no God:
This concept is an essential element of Marxism. As Lenin stated: "Atheism is a natural and inseparable portion of Marxism, of the theory and practice of Scientific Socialism." If God exists and is in supreme command of the universe, He possesses discretionary power, and His actions cannot always be calculated accurately in advance. The whole edifice of Marxism collapses.
When Marx and the Communists deny the existence of God, they simultaneously deny the authority of the Ten Commandments, the existence of absolute standards of right and wrong, of good and evil; and man is left on the playing fields of the universe without a referee, without a book of rules. The winning side in any conflict can decide on what rules of conduct to apply. Morality is the creation of the victor.

traditional religion by Liberals/Democrats....
6. "Congressman:
IRS asked pro-life group about 'the content of their prayers'
During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa.
āTheir question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: āPlease
detail the content of the members of your organizationās prayers,ā" Schock declared.
āWould that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?ā asked Schock. āThe content of oneās prayers?ā
From
their report:
Coalition for Life of Iowa found itself in the IRSās crosshairs when the group applied for tax exempt status in October 2008. Nearly ten months of
interrogation about the groupās opposition to Planned Parenthood included a demand by a Ms. Richards from the IRSā Cincinnati office
unlawfully insisted that all board members sign a sworn declaration promising not to picket/protest Planned Parenthood.
Further questioning by
the IRS requested detailed information about the content of the groupās prayer meetings, educational seminars, and signs their members hold outside Planned Parenthood."

The Faux Christian-in-Chief provided a peek into his true beliefs:
7. "Speaking in Ireland this week, President
Obama stated that Catholic schools were divisive:
āIf towns remain dividedāif Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we canāt see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to hardenāthat too encourages division and discourages cooperation.ā On Thursday, the American Catholics for Religious Freedom fired back on President Obamaās words to 2,000 young people at the G8 Summit, stating,
āPresident Obamaās anti-faith, secular agenda was shamefully on full display yesterday when he told the young people of Northern Ireland that Catholic education and other faith-based schools were divisive and an obstacle to peace.
All Americans of faith should be outraged by these comments which clearly telegraph the Presidentās belief system and are in fact at their core even anti-American.ā
American Catholics for Religious Freedom points out that
the [Liberal] media has completely ignored the story, and adds, āSecular progressives like President Obama ignore the truth that faith-based education is a component of the
Religious Freedom guaranteed by the Constitution.
He canāt bear the thought that Catholic and parochial schools not only teach important values but consistently produce better educational results at lower cost than Americaās failing public schools.
The Presidentās troubling values are showing here in a way that demonstrate just how dangerous this Administration is and how
committed it is to eroding the rights of all people of faith.ā
Catholics Fire Back at Obama over School Comments: 'Anti-Faith, Secular Agenda Shamelessly on Full Display' - Breitbart
Couldn't have said it better!
What a fool that man is.
- Urban parochial schools were serving a growing share of disadvantaged and frequently non-Catholic youngsters. In a study published in 1990, for example, the Rand Corporation found that, of the Catholic school students in these Catholic high schools in New York City, 75 to 90 percent were black or Hispanic. Finn, "Troublemaker"
i. Over 66 percentof the Catholic school graduates received the New York State Regents diploma to signify completion of an academically demanding college preparatory curriculum, while only about 5 percent of the public school students received this distinction;
ii. The Catholic high schools graduated 95 percent of their students each year, while the public schools graduated slightly more 50 percent of their senior class;
iii. The Catholic school students achieved an average combined SAT score of 803, while the public school students' average combined SAT score was 642;
iv. 60 percent of the Catholic school black students scored above the national average for black students on the SAT, and over 70 percent of public school black students scored below the same national average.

8. Government (read 'Liberal/Democrat') schools take every opportunity to shear religion away from the culture, and indicate it as a pejorative.
"Washington high school coach placed on leave for praying on field
(CNN)A Seattle-area assistant high school football
coach has been placed on paid leave for continuing to pray on the field after games, weeks after his school district warned him not to do so.
Bremerton High School assistant coach Joe Kennedy, whose suspension Wednesday came a day before the school's
final regular game of the season,
cannot resume his job until he agrees not to pray while on duty as a coach,
the Bremerton School District said in a letter posted online.
"While the district appreciates Kennedy's many positive contributions to the BHS football program ...
Kennedy's conduct poses a genuine risk that the district will be liable for violating the federal and state constitutional rights of students or others,"the letter reads.
Kennedy's case made headlines after the district ordered him in September to stop on-field post-game prayers, saying
his years-long practice could be perceived as district endorsement of religion in violation of the First Amendment's Establishment Clause.
[Of course that's a Liberal lie: it in no way violates the first amendment- it actually is a result of same.]
Kennedy, who says he has prayed at the 50-yard line after games since he was hired in August 2008, initially abided by the directive. But, with
a religious freedom legal organization asserting that he had a right to do so, he
prayed at midfield after the school's October 16 homecoming game.
The coach says that his prayers are private, and that while some students end up joining him, they do so of their own volition.
[Totally voluntary, no one is coerced to join in.]
The Liberty Institute, the Texas-based group representing Kennedy, said it will sue the school on his behalf, arguing the school was violating his rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, saying it wasn't honoring his request for religious accommodation.
[Yipppeeee!]
"We tried to meet with the school officials in person, but
they refused to meet. We were only able to have a brief hour and a half call with their lawyer, and the result was a letter
banning private prayer just a few hours before last Friday's game," the institute's deputy chief counsel Hiram Sasser
said in a post reacting to Kennedy's suspension. "It is unfortunate this school district is choosing litigation instead of a simple meeting."
