I really hate having to write stuff like this, but I fear if I do not, this could start to become commonplace on the right. As everyone who reads here knows — I have developed a zero tolerance policy against hate speech towards Israel and her people. Well, if I am going to be that militant about the Israeli people and their land, I should be as militant about those who support her.
It appears that Jim Hoft, the owner of the Conservative Blog called “Gateway Pundit” is taken to mocking Christians on his blog. This posting here is what I am referring. My point is simply this:
Jim Hoft would not mock or deride Jews like this, He would not mock Roman Catholics like this, nor would he mock or deride Peaceful Muslims like this — so, why a group of Black Baptists who had a small group of people get out of hand? Could it be because Jim Hoft has an inbred hatred of Christians — even Baptists — or is it that he might possibly has an inbred hatred of blacks? Those are important questions to ask, I feel and I would like to see his answer.
The reason why I am making a fuss about this is here; after the end of the Bush Administration and the end of the tenure of the Neo-Conservative majority and influence in the Republican Party there was this shift back to traditional Conservatism. Which when it comes to foreign policy matters is a great thing. However, it also seems that there is a rise in a sarcastic and in some instances a hostile attitude towards Christians in the Conservative and Libertarian Blogosphere.
There also has been a dramatic rise in hostility towards people of the Jewish Faith and linage on the right as well. There has been, since September 11, 2001 there has been a great deal of hostility towards peaceful Muslims as well. There is a line, between a genuine concern for our Country against Muslim extremists and a general hatred of Arabs and Muslims. That line has blurred greatly in the last few years. To be blunt about it: Norway was a wakeup call to everyone in the Anti-Jihad movement. Hatred and Bigotry will not stop those in the Islamic Extremists movement; it will simply give them more ammunition against us. The Anti-Jihad movement needs to figure who the haters are, round them up, and publicly cast them out of the movement and shun them.
Further, let me also say this; I will be the very to admit that I have some serious issues with the social Conservative movement. I know feel well about the stupidity within those ranks. Furthermore, I also have a great disdain for the fascist mentality of those, who want to install a Christian version of Sharia law in this Country, toss out our Constitution, and dictate our laws directly from the Bible. Those people, who are a small minority in the Conservative Christian circles, are as dangerous, as the radical Muslims and the radical progressives whom wish to destroy our Country. Because I am a libertarian-minded Conservative, I will fight against those people on this blog, until my dying breath. I believe in personal freedom and that means freedom from a Religion, if you so desire.
I find this idiotic mocking of those who happen to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God in Heaven and that the Holy Bible, or in my case; the King James Bible — is the Word of the Living God and contains the path to Eternal Life — to be highly offensive and very much repugnant. Furthermore, I question the Conservative credentials of those who partake in this abject practice.
In closing let me say this; this blog was never intended to be a “Christian Blog”, nor was it ever intended to be a “Christian defense” blog. However, when one’s religion is being mocked, oppressed and attacked, one most decide, “Do I stand, or do I remain silent?” I choose to speak out.
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 10:32-33 KJV)
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. (Luke 12:8-10 KJV)
Sorry Patrick, I think you misunderstood the entire post and are reading things into it that simply are not there. Hoft has been staunchly defending Christians and Christianity for as along as I can remember and right now we have a HUGE problem with roving mobs of racist black thugs committing crimes and hurting people. Hoft has been all over it, as have I, for months now. Do you not see the irony that the mob of racist black thugs went rampaging right after CHURCH services? That is not a slap at Christianity, it is pointing out the fact that something is very wrong with those mob thug bastards.
One more thing: “Black liberation theology” is NOT Christianity as most Christians understand it, it is a collectivist redistributive ideology and it is BAD NEWS. Look it up, please.
