"They Want to Sweep Us Away."
by Pete Winn, CitizenLink associate editor
SUMMARY: Attorney and legal scholar David Limbaugh
documents the left's hostility to Christianity and
Christians in his new book, "Persecution: How Liberals are Waging War on Christianity"
As America is waging a war on terrorism -- and a war for
freedom in Iraq -- conservative columnist and author David
Limbaugh says some elements of American society are waging
a war against Christianity and the freedom of Christians
to be involved in public life.
Think that's overblown rhetoric? Consider the following:
** An Alabama Supreme Court justice is drummed out of
office for refusing to remove a statue that commemorates
the sources of American law -- including the Ten
Commandments -- from the rotunda of the state judicial
center.
** An American general is condemned because he makes
statements in a church setting that reflect his Christian
beliefs.
** A Newton, Mass., high school teacher introduces
"bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgendered" subjects in
class by assigning his class the novel, "The Perks of
Being a Wallflower," by Steven Chobsky. When a parent
objects to the book -- which covers everything from
bestiality to homosexual sex to masturbation -- the parent
is dismissed as "an ignorant pest."
** A St. Louis fourth-grader is ordered to the principal's
office solely because he bowed his head to pray before
eating in the lunchroom.
In his new book "Persecution," Limbaugh -- an attorney and
legal scholar in addition to being the brother of radio
talk show host Rush Limbaugh -- cites scores of cases
similar to these to back up his argument that Christians
are increasingly being driven from the public square, are
denied their First Amendment rights and are even actively
discriminated against for their beliefs.
