It must be nice to be a liberal and parse the words of the constitution so that they fit your agenda. For the benefit of the under educated, our first amendment guarantees freedom of religion. This was particularly important because the Church of England had become the only permissible religion in England. If you were not a member of the Church of England, you were subject to imprisonment and possibly death. Many of the pilgrims became branded fugitives and left their homeland to follow their religious beliefs. The First Amendment was written to ensure that the government would not force a particular religion on the citizens of the United States of America. Now, this administration  is forcing Christians to abandon their beliefs and bow to the government. Is this their version of freedom of religion?

Secular progressives have, for years, twisted the words of the First Amendment to make it seem that God is not allowed to be a part of American life, when the opposite is true. Groups like the ACLU have fought to remove any reference of God from schools, public meetings, sporting events, and even from our military by misrepresenting the phrase, “separation of church and state”.

Now, let us look at Obamacare. Here they are, in effect, trying to unite “church and state” by forcing religion to be a part of the government via health care. It appears to me that you should not be able to have it both ways. This administration has eroded many of our freedoms; particularly if you believe in Jesus Christ. Oddly, Christianity  is being persecuted while Atheists, Agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus, Unitarians, and Muslims (to name a few) are all able to practice their beliefs. Most of these are benign in their practices but part of the Islamic law encourages Muslims to kill those they consider to be infidels. According to them, an infidel is anyone who is not a Muslim. That pretty much encompasses at least 60% of Americans. Muslim extremists have killed and maimed innocent people who have done them no harm.  In the minds of these extremists, the people they kill, must be killed because they are infidels. Funny how they have more freedom than we do; and more government defenses than we do. The illustrious Eric Holder has intervened on behalf of many of these abhorrent terrorists. And our president must agree with the actions taken by Holder or he would have spoken out against those actions or removed Holder from the office of Attorney General of the United States.

Now, I remember our president saying that when he was in college, he was a Muslim. I am under the impression that you are not permitted to “quit” being a Muslim. Why are so many legal actions taken against Christians (infidels)? One case in point is the prosecution of a Coptic Christian whose video was wrongfully blamed for the massacre in Benghazi. Another case begs the question, “Why were Palestinian refugees (Muslims) given sanctuary in the US?” There are numerous examples of pro-Islamic actions being taken by this administration.

It seems that a free America is heading for the past. This once great country is being dismantled little by little with presidential fiats, changes in our literature, and policies that undermine our standing in the world. There is a total disregard for the rule of law as established by our Constitution; this disregard is a blatant malfeasance of office. If you think that America is too great to succumb to these tactics, these attacks on our freedoms, then you are part of the problem.

Think about this question: How do you eat an elephant?

The answer: One bite at a time.
