Reflections From a Murky Pond

When it comes to intersection of the Church and the State in US Law we’re saddled with a lot of religious extremism and a lot of lies and/or misconceptions based upon that extremism.

The Lies Of Extremists

Yes, we Americans have to sift through a lot of lies and/or misconceptions based upon religious extremism. The Godless and their plethora of anti-Christian, anti-American Liberal and Progressive enablers spew them incessantly whenever ant mention of religion functioning outside the confines of a church arises.

Put aside the false equivalency that is almost always presented – the image above is merely a tame, washed out example thereof – because reality cannot match and make true the comparison between any group in American history and the Muslims’ Taliban. Not even the much maligned KKK came close to the Taliban’s behavior. No, put that aside for now and pay attention to the underlying dogma of America’s domestic enemies.

The lie that the Godless and their Liberal and Progressives enablers promulgate is that any expression of religious belief and law that is informed by religious sentiment, belief, or morality is inherently theocratic, repressive, and tyrannical in natural. Hence, any such expression is the same as what the Taliban do. Their dogma and doctrine makes no distinct of degree; it’s a dualistic approach and it is a lie.

President Obama spoke about religious extremism during an address at Thursday, February 5th morning’s National Prayer Breakfast. Of course, the misborn, worthless boy took advantage of his audience to draw a false equivalency between Christendom and Islam.

Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.

Frankly, it’s this jackanapes that needs to get off his high horse and quit acting as if he’s been granted the privilege of insulting the majority of Americans religious beliefs and intelligence.

Let’s break down the boy’s stupidity and perfidy:

History vs. News

There’s a world of difference between what happened hundreds of years ago and what is happening now. It’s worthless as other than pro-Muslim pseudo-apologetics for Obama to equate what was history to what is news and current events.

Crusades “Atrocities”

Let’s start with the fact that the accepted date range for the Crusades is 1095 AD – 1291 AD. During that time what was considered normal behavior in war is, by and large, considered an atrocity today. Hence, describing what happened during those 196 years on sporadic warfare as atrocities is to ignore than cultural mores of the times.

The Inquisition(s)

During the approximately 600 years in which the various Inquisitions took place, some 150,000 were put on trial and some 3000 of those were executed. The various Islamist groups exceed that death toll in any given month. No rationale person without a specific agenda can draw an equivalency between these two things.

Slavery and Jim Crow

Here, at least, Obama had just enough sense to allude to am equivalency through the use of softer language rather than to draw the equivalency overtly. That showed some wisdom sense Christianity was never truly used by any but a few to justify either slaver or Jim Crow laws. What was done was citing biblical references as a defense against the claims that slavery was Unchristian and a crime against their God.

~*~

Yeah, the only one up on a high horse is Obama. Of course, one has to expect this sort of chicanery from someone like Obama. He’s not a Christian and his theology, such as it is, is based upon Black Liberation Theology and his church of choice for two decades is and was closely allied with the Nation of Islam.

There’s also the sad but simple fact that Obama chose to identify as a Black and adopt large portions of their culture – a culture that largely predicated upon long dead and buried wrongs being at least as relevant as anything happening today.

Sadly, Obama will never get off his high horse by his own volition.  Americans are, instead, going to have to drag the boy off it and cast him into the mud and muck where he belongs.

One of the Pillars of Feminism, at least the modern, degenerate Toxic Wave of the movement, is the use of false equivalencies and a total lack of discernment. Certainly, they are woefully stereotypically bad at math and the underlying logic of mathematics.

She Fears Being Raped By Men’s Minds?

Lest you mistakenly believe that the perniciously stupid female depicted above is an anomaly or statistical outlier, consider the recent efforts of some of the female editors at The Huffington Post to publicize what they feel is “Street Harassment.”

The things that they alleged men either said to them or that they merely overheard being said about them ranged from the pleasant, through the innocuous, and into but the seriously creepy and the pathetically crude. Yet the non-discerning Feminists of HuffPo present them together as if each were perfect examples of what they define as Street Harassment.

Yes, that’s right! Modern feminists draw no distinction between, “Smile” or “Can I ask you a question? Are you single?” and “I will bite off your tongue” or “Hey, Slut! Nice tits!” Nor do they perceive any difference between what is said to them and what they manage to overhear being said to someone else, presumably another man.

What makes their presentation of their agenda-driven slant of the facts is what they immediately follow their pictorial screed with:

Need help? In the U.S., visit the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline operated by RAINN. For more resources, visit the National Sexual Violence Resource Center’s website. To learn more about street harassment head over to Hollaback!.

Directly, if tacitly, equating looks, whistles, honks, kissing noises, and various phrases with rape is just wrong and disgusting. Not only does it utterly devalue the threat of- and pain of suffering from actual rape, it creates a climate of gender-based fear that paints men as always being rapists or, at least, sexual predators by defining such “harassment” as an implicit threat of- and prelude to rape.

Yes, these Toxic Wave Feminists are very non-discerning. I assume this is because it’s more “fair” to foster the idea of a one-size-fits-all victimhood.
