Rosie Fever

True colors always show themselves sooner or later. Hollywood and the liberal media were brutal on Mel Gibson when he released “The Passion of the Christ,” yet these same liberal elite were silent after Rosie O’Donnell recently said on ABC’s “The View” that “radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America where we have separation of church and state.” Besides being woefully ignorant (like so many Americans) of the true meaning of the First Amendment, O’Donnell should be grateful that we “radical” Christians are not like radical Muslims; if we were, her house and ABC’s studios would be burned to the ground by now. The very fact that nothing like this has happened shows the fallacy of O’Donnell’s view.

Not to be left outdone, Augusta's Kennebec Journal, in its 9/21 editorial "Defense bill is no place for culture war," starts off with a reasonably well-argued point, but then shows its real agenda – opposition to Christianity – when it says that evangelical Christians “need to abandon their holy war, and stop holding military salaries hostage to their narrow interests.” Holy war? Hostage? I daresay that such language, if used in a similar way in reference to Muslims or some other religious minority, would spark riots and Liberal outrage. I also believe, however, that the KJ would not have used such language in reference to any other faith, preferring to leave such insults for us “radical” Christians to deal with. Sounds like Rosie Fever is spreading.
