In
a nation uniquely founded upon the Judeo/Christian ethic and “Freedom
of Religion”, Americans have been witnessing committed Christians being
persecuted in their own country. Over the last six-plus years, there
have been rapidly expanding attempts to marginalize, demonize, and
criminalize the free practice of the Christian faith in the US Armed
Forces and in the United States in general. Why? Since the 1930s, the
Christian religion has been viewed by the far left and Communists as the
enemy that must be destroyed, and they are finally making progress
toward their joint goal.
It actually started in the early nineteenth century when the far
left, atheists, and Communists declared “moral authority dead”, and
worked diligently to sabotage the family unit (the nation’s founding
principles were supported by millions of religious family units),
eliminate traditional marriage, and demonize core Christian religious
beliefs. In the 1960s, the far left gained the support of birth control
advocates, the proponents of the sexual revolution, and the support of
radical gay rights advocates to help them marginalize Christian
religious teachings that were providing the faith upon which family
values rested. Despite the aggressiveness of the far left to sabotage
family values and religious faith during a five decade period,
Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald
Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George WH Bush, Bill Clinton, and
George H. Bush used the moral authority of the US Presidency to beat
back the attempt to break up the family unit, eliminate traditional
marriages, and denigrate Christian religious teachings.
Unfortunately, the current occupant of the Oval Office has taken an
opposite approach. He has empowered the far left, atheists, and
Communists to the extent that they have finally achieved their 80-year
goal of destabilizing, marginalizing, demonizing, and legally attacking
their greatest enemy, the free exercise of the Christian faith by
Americans.
The far left, atheists, and Communists have been supported
in their sabotage of the family unit and Christian values by not only
the Obama administration, but also by the activist homosexual movement,
representing less than 2 % of the population.
Now that activist judges are increasingly overturning laws passed by
super-majorities of voters, the legal definition of marriage is rapidly
changing in a number of states, and the floodgates have been opened,
allowing the demonization of core Christian religious beliefs.
Christians who don’t believe in what the 2% gay population in the nation
believe in, are called bigots by the left-of-center liberal media
establishment and by radical gay rights activists. The attempt to
fundamentally transform the American family, as well as Christian
beliefs, has taken on new speed and new dimensions, with the strong but
stealthy support of the occupant in the Oval Office.
Assaults on Christian religious beliefs have been met with weak-kneed
responses by religious leaders in the Protestant, Episcopalian, and
Catholic denominations, and by the majority of members of Congress who
have remained silent for over six years while the assault on Christian
beliefs has gained momentum.
Obama, by forcing the US military to become the first major military
force in the world to become openly homosexual, has negatively affected
the morale, unit cohesiveness, and the “Combat Effectiveness” of the US
Armed Forces.
In just one year, 11,000 straight male members of the US
military have been sexually assaulted by openly gay men who are now
being recruited to join the US Armed Forces.
Christians who, because of their core religious beliefs, do not
believe in or support same sex marriage or abortion have been
persecuted, demonized, and aggressively intimidated by radical gay
activists who make repeated false claims of bigotry. Christian business
owners, for simply refusing to support same sex marriages on religious
grounds, have had radical gay rights activists attempt to criminalize
them for their religious beliefs, and file destructive law suits against
them. Of course, we haven’t seen these same radical gay rights
activists have the courage to try to force Muslim business owners to
support same sex marriages. Why? They realize there would be an
explosion of open hostility in response.

The following article entitled “Faith Crimes” goes into more detail
about how Christians practicing their sincerely held religious beliefs
are being persecuted in Obama’s America.

FAITH CRIMES: How courageous Christians practicing their religion are being persecuted in Obama’s America
By WND. The rising persecution of Christians worldwide is, of course,
one of today’s most heart-wrenching and consequential trends, with
daily reports of Christian believers being murdered, tortured,
kidnapped, raped or sold into slavery.
But there is another story of growing Christian persecution, which –
if not as terrible in scale and severity – is even more inexplicable.
That is the rapidly expanding marginalization, demonization and
criminalization of the free practice of the Christian faith in the
United States of America – a nation uniquely founded upon religious
liberty. . .
While Christian persecution around the world is perpetrated primarily
by Muslims and communists, in America the persecution is driven by a
seemingly odd and improbable source: homosexuality, and the influential
activist movement that has grown up around it.
Today, that movement has become the spear-tip with which the far left
is finally achieving its longtime goal of attacking, intimidating –
indeed, legally prohibiting – the free exercise of religion in America.
Legislation currently sweeping the country outlaws counseling help
for minors who want to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions; decrees
that boys and young men must be allowed to use girls’ restrooms and
locker rooms if they claim to identify with the opposite sex (and vice
versa); mandates pro-homosexual indoctrination of children as young as
five; requires the integration of open homosexuals into the military;
forces same-sex marriage on the nation; and, perhaps most disturbingly,
criminalizes Christian businesspeople for simply opposing homosexuality
or same-sex marriage on moral and religious grounds. Should the Supreme
Court mandate homosexual marriage throughout the nation, say experts,
the persecution will increase exponentially.
“Many thought same-sex marriage would be the crowning achievement of
the gay rights juggernaut,” says Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian.
“But then, suddenly, the focus shifted to ‘transgender rights,’ with
Time magazine’s ‘Transgender Tipping Point’ issue announcing ‘America’s
next civil rights frontier’ and Vice President Joe Biden declaring
transgender discrimination ‘the civil rights issue of our time.'”
Adds Kupelian:
“The secret of this never-ending, always-expanding
revolutionary movement is that it has the full support of the far left.
Not because the left particularly loves people who are homosexual,
bisexual and transgender for themselves, but because finally the left
has found its weapon, with which – as it has dreamed of doing for
decades – it can effectively attack, marginalize, demonize and
criminalize its greatest enemy: the Christian religion.” (Read more
