The War On God Is No Joke We have a joke line in our family that comes from an old Saturday Night Live sketch. It’s December 7, 1941 and a town newspaper is lackadaisically deciding on its top front page story. One suggestion is to feature the ladies volleyball team making the state finals. Another idea is the theft of some typewriters at the high school. Still another front page suggestion is to warn readers of the remote possibility of bad weather. This inanity goes on until an extremely distraught reporter played by Phil Hartman blurts out in desperation, “It’s Raining Bombs in Hawaii! — There’s your headline!” The front page ends up with Hartman’s photo and the headline “Local Reporter Shoots Self,” while in a back page a tiny blurb is titled, “Asians Attack ‘Base.’” This is often how we feel at Standard of Liberty. There’s a war raging that seems to be going on largely unnoticed. It’s between two diametrically opposed world views. For want of a better term, it’s between the traditional values side and the anti-traditional values side. Since basic moral values come from God, what we have is the God side versus the anti-God side. If we care about freedom, our children and grandchildren, education, government, decency, order, health, truth, and the future of God’s children, we simply cannot “get along” with those who are actively and militantly pushing to replace God’s standard for goodness with some arbitrary, debased lifestyle. They have it right. The bigger question is not about respectfully allowing everybody equal freedom to express their opinions, although that would be nice. We’re way past that. Just as our Founders indicated, our system of government was designed only for a moral people. If we take a good hard look at our mainstream culture today, we are no longer a moral people. Sad to say, not only are right opinions being attacked, but false, disgusting, and dangerous opinions are being allowed, respected, and encouraged. And as we know, ideas have consequences. Just a few weeks after the amazing turnout at Chick-Fil-A an armed man with 50 extra rounds of ammo, and for unknown reasons a backpack of Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, entered the Family Research Center, a religious, traditional values lobbying organization in Washington D. C. He said he didn’t like their policies and fired his gun in the lobby at the unarmed, ununiformed building manager who, though shot in the arm, heroically and harmlessly subdued the shooter. As the shooter was currently a volunteer at a LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) center, it would be ridiculous to pretend that what the FBI is calling an act of domestic terrorism was not fueled by highly organized and funded groups which repeatedly rate businesses according to their degree of pro-gayness and target God-centered groups by calling them “hate groups.” Incredibly, unlike any speech or event that can be spun as hate against gays, the shooting incident at FRC obviously fueled by gay activism hardly made mainstream news. Like Phil Hartman, we want to shout, There’s a war on against God! — There’s your headline. Note: SoL has attended FRC’s excellent Values Voter Summit in D. C. each year since it began in 2006. We send them our prayers and best wishes.
