Can we have separation of socialism and state?
Every four years, we have a ritual; the left wing media goes nuts over the religious beliefs of conservative candidates. If you listen to the left wing fruits that run the editorial pages of many of the major news outlets, like the New York Times, you would think that people like Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee and even Rick Santorum are members of some secretive Christian version of the Taliban.
Every four years, we see this. The drive-by media, which has no clue about life in “fly over” America, writes about conservatives as if they are a part of some evil religious cabal, bent on taking America back to the middle ages.
We get ominous warnings about the separation of church and state, from these people who probably cannot even cite where that statement comes from or what it truly means. Of course, warnings of separation of church and state are a one-way street for the left.
Liberals never have these issues. In 1976, the left wing media made “born again Christian” a popular wave in support of Jimmy Carter, even convincing a large number of evangelicals to vote for him. Of course, Carter was a hard-core leftist, worshiping at the altar of socialism.
In 1992 and after that, we got a regular diet of how Bill and Hillary Clinton were Christians. We got regular news reports about them going to church, complete with video of them walking, hand in hand, holding their bibles. Of course, everything we know about the Clintons tells us their trips to church were just another political prop, like almost everything else in their lives.
In 2008, we were constantly told that Barack Obama was a Christian. Of course, there was an almost total media embargo about his church. Obama’s church preached a radical version of Marxist theology. In Obama’s church, hating America, Western civilization and liberty were dogma. While photos of the Clintons and even the Carters in church were fairly common, including photos of Carter teaching Sunday school, has anyone seen any photos of Obama at Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church?
The left screeches about Michele Bachmann and her beliefs. Is there even a photo of her attending church? If there is, they are hard to find. There are some photos of Rick Perry at the prayer event he recently participated in and at some other events, but none of him just going to church.
For most conservatives, faith is an indivisible part of what and who we are. For most conservatives, some form of faith motivates them. For liberals, faith is simply another tool to advance socialism.
The first commandment of socialists is they cannot have any other Gods before the god of socialism. Liberals love to trot out “faith leaders” to support the goals of big government, but once they are no longer needed for that, the “faith leaders” are expected to sit down, shut up and stay out of the way until they are needed again.
Socialism is a very jealous religion. It tolerates no dissent or disagreement. In some ways, it is the fundamentalist religion that the left wing media is always railing against. Socialism demands absolute devotion to the truth and demands destruction of anyone or anything that disagrees with the socialist fundamentalist orthodoxy.
Conservatism is just the opposite. Conservatism allows disagreement because conservatism believes in liberty and freedom. Conservatism believes in the free market of ideas, which is why dissenting opinions do not faze conservatives. We believe the ideas will compete and the best ideas will emerge.
As this presidential election unfolds, expect the left to continue to project the failings of socialism on conservative candidates. Expect to keep hearing about how dangerous the religious beliefs of Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry are. Of course these are the beliefs of tens of millions of Americans, but why let inconvenient facts confuse the left.
While the left wing media elites are busy denigrating the beliefs a majority of Americans hold, don’t expect to hear a word about the American hating religion of Barack Obama.

Thanks or the article. We know what they will do, so we fight back, call them on their lies, and call Obama on his never ending lies.

OK so it seems that I am not the ONLY one that sees that Terrorists and liberals are the same? I hope that's what you are saying because I realized that yesterday driving for three hours. Terrorist are selfish, Greedy, nasty, love violence, kill for their god, uncaring, abusive, and so on. Liberals...same way of life. That's also why they call us Terrorist, they don't want people to see who and what the Terrorists are because then we would all see, they are Just Like the Liberals!
You also see George Bush going to church while president because he ACTUALLY WENT! He was a God Fearing/God loving man and so was his Family. As normal for the liberals they USE God, they use the blacks and the Hispanics and Gay's for the same reason. PUSH Political Agenda! PLEASE! Leave God out fo our attacks and so on! God is our creator and we are /to worship and love him...NOT USE HIM LIBERALS!!

I pray that the folks who put Obama in will hopefully have learned that Obama is tearing this country apart and will vote him out!

I consider myself a rational thinking individual, not worshiping at anyone's alter except Jesus Christ.
What concerns, frustrates & bewilders me is seemingly intelligent people would vote straight party if Chas Manson was running. Look at Jews, Obama wants Israel destroyed & couldn't be more anti-semitic, however there are many Jews absolutely adore him. Go figure as often is the case, we have to hand it over to the Lord !!!

There's no way to separate socialism from the state as the state is ruled by the socialist. Also you cannot separate Muslim people from the Islamic religion. Because the religion itself call for the murder of people who try to separate themselves from it. Also, you cannot separate government from Islam because Islam is a governmental instrument.

My wife works with a lady who is VERY irresponsible. She just can't seem to get anything under control in her life and tends to put BLAME on others rather than herself. Guess what? She is a left, leaning, liberal, socialist. Also, my wife has 3 friends who have exhibited irresponsible behavior and have tendancies to BLAME. Guess what?? They too are left, leaning, liberal, loony, socialists. Do you see a common thread here??
