Is there a Secular Taliban in America?

Is there a "secular Taliban" operating in the United States?

Just as in 2001 the Taliban in Afghanistan ordered all statues destroyed as a means of erasing history and heritage inconsistent with Islam, it appears that there are a critical mass of people, including the likes of Michael Newdow, the ACLU, and others who seek to erase any vestige of our Christian heritage from the American landscape.

The Taliban's actions destroyed a deep, rich heritage, including centuries old 152-foot Buddhist statues. Their goal was to wipe out a heritage as if it never existed.

The Secular Taliban's goals are the same. They wish to wipe out any vestige of Christian heritage in this country, whether it be a Ten Commandments display, manger scene, crosses from war memorials. Like the Taliban, they wish to wipe away all religious heritage not in line with their ideals of secular humanism. Like the Nazis, the Secular Taliban wish to erase history by, in effect, "burning books" and wiping out literally centuries of co-existence, not separation betweeen Judeo-Christian tradition and government.

George Washington once prayed,
"..that (God) would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all, to do Justice, to love mercy, to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the Characteristicks of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy Nation."


It would appear that the Secular Taliban has a different idea of what America should be. Our children and grandchildren will be denied their heritage as a result. -Psycmeistr-
