Awfully Late To The Persecution Party

Well, I suppose the expression "better late than never" can offer up some solace, if not any excuse:

Bill O’Reilly was not pleased with the New York Times’ labeling of Anders Behring Brevik, the 32-year-old mass murderer who took at least 76 innocent lives as a "Christian Extremist." In his column, he notes that the “killer is not attached to any church, has no history of Christian activity, has openly criticized the Protestant philosophy, and has committed acts counter to all Christian teaching.”...

“The left well understands that Christian opposition to things like abortion, gay marriage, and drug legalization makes those liberal causes more difficult to achieve,” O’Reilly concludes. “Thus, anything that diminishes Christianity is fair game to be promoted. Every newsworthy sin committed by a Christian is highlighted with a sneering reference to hypocrisy. Any whiff of Christian intolerance is celebrated in the press.”

Too true, too true, Bill.  And, let's see, for how many, oh, I don't know, DECADES have libs been running wild with such vicious, hateful, insane smears?  It's got to have been upwards of half a century now, by my cultural recollection.

Their problem now is that they've generated the American and global decline into chaos that they've always wanted, but they haven't been able to jump clear of the crash so as to duck their own richly deserved blame for it, and the public is seeing that, and them, for what they really are.  Consequently, their lies and smears and hate are going into maximum overdrive looking frantically for scapegoats on which to pin their own culpability.  They couldn't avoid firing both barrels at their favorite target even if they wanted to, not matter how crazily irrational and absurd the contrived pretext.

But just wait my friends.  If these are the times evangelicals think they are - and they are - then the perilous times have only just begun.
