If liberals fought terrorism with the same fervor with which they remove public acknowledgements of God, Osama bin Laden would have been dead and buried by now. The left's unhidden contempt for religion and the morals God promotes demonstrates the essence of their ideology.
Liberalism hinges on a deliberate inability to distinguish right from wrong. They cringe in fear when George W. Bush defines our enemies as an "axis of evil." This kind of forthright dialogue drives liberals up a wall. Liberals would prefer that we not "label" anyone for fear that feelings might be hurt. Their schoolyard approach to confronting terrorism amounts to pleas for Americans to be "tolerant" of others and educate themselves about Islam. Knowing that clearly outlining America's enemies would require them to act, liberals choose to live in a make-believe world where terrorists can be reasoned with and gently persuaded to be our friends. In their minds, it's not possible for someone to simply be evil unless affiliated with the Republican Party. Just as they cowered when Ronald Reagan identified the Soviet Union as an "evil empire" and resisted his "peace through strength" doctrine that called for bolstering our national defense, liberals have once again shied away from the enormity of the threats we face. Going so far as to say that American foreign policy brings terror on itself, liberal peaceniks continually refuse to admit that terrorists are evil, barbaric murderers whose attacks can only be thwarted by killing them before they get to us.
With their struggle to eliminate God from public view, atheistic and secularist liberals aim to rid society of the morals they consider to be "close-minded." By quieting religious expression, liberals attempt to hide its inherent moral guidance. If liberals can ignore any sort of morality and just pretend that nobody is ever "wrong," but instead just "different," then they won't have to confront America's enemies.
Liberal logic goes something like this: God and religion should be entirely absent from the public arena except when homicidal Islamic terrorists kill 3,000 innocent Americans. Then we must all rejoice in the peaceful teachings of Islam. In an act that surely sent terrorists running for cover, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, required in 2002 that incoming freshmen read, write a one-page paper about, and attend a discussion on, a pro-Islam book titled Approaching the Qur'án.
Always reverting to the backless "separation of church and state" argument, liberals at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have instituted a campaign infringing on Americans' freedom to exercise religion. Throughout the country, the ACLU has sued to have displays of the Ten Commandments removed from courthouses and public schools, falsely citing that they are in violation of the United States Constitution. With the help of liberal federal judges, the ACLU has succeeded in removing several such monuments to the Ten Commandments.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled this summer that Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore had to remove a Ten Commandments monument he had placed in the state courthouse. Moore did not follow the court order (forbidding a judge from acknowledging God), citing that the court's opinion was an unlawful interpretation of the First Amendment. To follow the order would violate Moore's oath to the Alabama Constitution, which explicitly declares state laws to be under God. Liberals and atheists always seem to miss the point that without God, there exists no basis for law.
As a point of reference the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion, as atheists like to interpret. The First Amendment ensures religious liberty by clearly stating: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." While liberals commonly complain about "separation of church and state," it is plain to see that clause is not guaranteed by the Constitution. The presence of this monument inside the Alabama courthouse entailed neither Congress's establishing a religion nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Calling public acknowledgements of God, "an illegal entanglement of government with religion," the ACLU demonstrates its hypocrisy in promoting a liberal, secularist political agenda above their stated mission of upholding the Constitution.
Along with its defense of "reproductive rights" (liberal code for legally killing unborn human babies) and the North American Man/Boy Love Association (an advocate group for older men who want to molest young children), the ACLU has demonstrated the liberal disgust for God and morality.
Liberals fear a public consensus on morality because when their pet issues are judged in a religious and moral manner, they are exposed for their obscene nature. Regardless of cute slogans liberals attach to abortion (read: a woman's right to choose), it is still nothing more than denying innocent human life.
Likewise, the entire peace movement is nothing more than an illogical and immoral stance. Terrorists have declared war on America, and liberals fight back with a fierce campaign of self-education and understanding other cultures. Just days after 9/11, one liberal graduate student wrote a letter to The Daily Collegian saying, "While we are tempted to demonize our enemies, I think it is important to understand where they are coming from. This attack is no crazier or more cowardly than our recent attacks on them. Once we understand that, we can consider real options for making our world a better place." In other words, "we deserved it."
In the liberal world where God poses a greater threat to Americans than do terrorists, it is important not to let a supremely good being get in the way of appeasing homicidal Islamic maniacs.
