No surprise in our Age of Lies:
It has been an interesting time around the Washington, D.C., area these last few weeks.
The District of Columbia City Council passed a law restricting the ability of Catholic Charities to continue its same level of social services to the city’s poor and homeless.
The Baltimore City Council passed a bill subjecting crisis pregnancy centers to a $150-a-day fine for not posting signs stating what services they do not offer.
Suburban Montgomery County Council is considering legislation to impose a $750-a-day fine (it is, after all, one of the richest areas in the United States) on pro-life pregnancy centers for not stating they do not provide medical advice or establish a doctor-patient relationship.
So far there’s no indication that Home Depot stores will be required to post signs that they do not perform brain surgery or that Pizza Hut franchises will be mandated to advise patrons they do not offer home loans.
Mandating that organizations must say what they do not do is ludicrous (if not unconstitutional).
What is happening here is an orchestrated plan on the left to either force everyone to agree to the left’s view of morality, or to legislate out of the public square any group which refuses. Its not so much that the left loves gay marriage or abortion but that they hate religion in general, Christianity in particular, and Catholicism in super-particular. The left, where it rules the roost, could easily write laws to give consideration to religious bodies who provide vital social services, if not all the services the left would prefer – but when faced with a choice between helping a poor, unwed mother or attacking the Catholic Church, the left doesn’t hesitate: attacking the Church takes priority over all else.
And, after all, the only people who suffer from these decisions are poor people – and poor people don’t register, as people, on the social radar of the left. Who cares if a poor girl in DC can’t get some help? She won’t be at the party’s in the swank sections of town. Heck, such a girl barely even registers as human to rich liberals – she’s kinda like a cow, to be taken care of, to be sure, but not at the price of being unfashionable on such issues as gay marriage.
When we battle the left, what we are ultimately doing is battling for basic, human decency. For the concept that each individual is valuable in and of themselves – not valued only as they fit in to a sociological or electoral calculus.

I wonder if they require mosques to post signs that islam and bomb making class 101 could be dangerous to infadels lives.
FUBO
No surprise here
Long time Democratic Chicago Pol Monique Davis hasn’t paid the rent for her offices since 2002. Apparently it doesn’t matter either. After all, she’s a Chicago Democrat and the rules real people have to live by don’t apply to a Chicago Democrat.
And like a true Democrat Davis is blaming everyone else. It isn’t her fault, you see.

We need to explore this to it’s max.

The left continues to define morality down; they’ll eliminate it entirely if they’re allowed to go unchecked.
What’s their motto? If it feels good, do it…
I think this has more to do with control than being anti-Christian. (Though I have no doupt that there are anti-Christian elements involved. Christians are an easy target, they don’t strap bombs around their waists and blow up groups that disagree with them.)
By forcing this Christian groups to post the services they do not provide, I can see that as a stepping stone to at some future date teling these groups what services they are allowed to provide.
Mark,
There’s a new war brewing, one with all elements combined, much of it political, with the government at the very center or heart of the culmination of evil…but at the root, it is a worldwide spiritual uprising. So, the real split in this country has not been seen as of yet. When it does come about, there will be definite shift in American attitude with many falling by the wayside, and it being reflected on God’s Word. In this shift, unlike our past, those who are genuinely Christian will become a minority, and it won’t be long then until Christ returns.
Some or many may not agree, but there are anti-Christ’s among those even who profess Christ as Lord, but in their actions have become like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day.
As Scripture states, “Only the remnant will be saved.”
So, actions like these won’t be a surprise in the future.
