Freeper freakout watch......Reactions to an article about the downfall of American Christianity
from the increasingly crazy FreeRepublic.com:


What is even more chilling, is the fact we are doing this for the jihadists. It’s possible you don’t even have a Muslim student in the school. White U.S. Citizens are running so scared, that they are self-censoring the Christian God out of our culture.

Very valid point here. The liberals have penetrated most public schools (Through the teachers unions), so this is not really shocking to most of us on this forum. However, you should get other conservative parents to assist you in fighting this in any way possible.

Anyway, welcome to FR!

Play your “teachers” a clip of Obama saying “God Bless America”.

Even Barry says “God Bless America”. God is a generic term and if someone doesn’t believe let them be happy in their superiority over those of us who believe silly notions.

“We have imagined ourselves invulnerable and have been consumed by the pursuit of financial gain. The focus of many in America has been on the pursuit of health, wealth, material pleasures and sexuality. Sadly, those in the churches have been as self-indulgent as those in the world.

“We have allowed rampant pornography on the Internet, and rampant secularism and the occult, etc. to be broadcast on television. We have permitted somewhere in the neighborhood of 35-40 million unborn babies to be slaughtered by our society.

“We have a court that has essentially stuck its finger in God’s eye and said, “We are going to legislate You out of the schools and take Your commandments from the courthouses in various states. We are not going to let little children read the commandments of God. We are not going to allow the Bible or prayer in our schools.

“We have insulted God at the highest level of our government. Then, we say, “Why does this happen?” It is happening because God Almighty is lifting His protection from us. Once that protection is gone, we are vulnerable because we are a free society.”

When I showed this to my sponsors (teachers) i was promptly yelled at and told that if we put God up on there then we have to put "Buddah bless America" and "allah bless America" i just think for a nation founded on Christian values that the level of political correctness has gone to far. Most of these people would trash talk about America in a heart beat...

You have GUTS friend!... Keep fighting... You are an inspiration :)

when you post a vanity, you are supposed to engage with folks who comment. Otherwise, well, there are cats and bolts of lightning

“White U.S. Citizens are running so scared, that they are self-censoring the Christian God out of our culture.”

Tolerance/Multi-Cult is merely an excuse to persecute Christianity.

It is ALWAYS used against Christianity in favor of some other group.

Just get one that says “godd*mn America” with a picture of Rev. Wright on the other side. Then everyone will be happy! You got to admit it would be fun to kick the carp out of!

Since most of the people who do the work on these events are the conservative christian parents..why not just move the event away from the school and invites everybody to come to the “parents” event?

1. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy
The more absurd they become, the more the article is justified.

Thanks for validating the story, freeps.

2. WTF does this mean?
"when you post a vanity, you are supposed to engage with folks who comment. Otherwise, well, there are cats and bolts of lightning"? (post 12)
I can't even get a good enough grip on it to lay some snark on it.

3. Perhaps there exists somewhere a sort of freeper Rosetta Stone which would explain
the meaning of that phrase; no doubt such a resource could be equally valuable in decoding what it means to "kick the carp out of" something.

4. What "article about the downfall of American Christianity"?
They seem to be talking about a school policy, not an "article about the downfall of American Christianity".
