Many holding office, especially those on the left, continually beat up and demonize all the good things our nation stands for or anyone with an opposing viewpoint.
They use our tax money to subject us to a continual parade of freak shows whenever they want to shove new legislation down our throats. As Rush Limbaugh has said on a number of occasions, they are ‘waging war’ on the very people they were elected to serve.
The Obama Administration’s assault against Christianity continues after an order was issued for the removal of crosses, this time from a military outpost in a remote part in Afghanistan. The official line is that one soldier complained, prompting the American Atheists to get involved.
Seeing our President desires to imitate Abe Lincoln lets take a look at his order to the military on November 15, 1862: The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, desires and enjoins the orderly observance of the Sabbath by the officers and men in the military and naval service. The importance for men and beast of the prescribed weekly rest, the sacred rights of Christian soldiers and sailors, a becoming deference to the best sentiment of a Christian people, and a due regard for the Divine will demand that Sunday labor in the Army and Navy be reduced to the measure of strict necessity.
The discipline and character of the national forces should not suffer nor the cause they defend be imperiled by the profanation of the day or name of the Most High. “At this time of public distress,” adopting the words of Washington in 1776 – “men may find enough to do in the service of God and their country without abandoning themselves to vice and immorality.” The first general order issued by the Father of his Country after the Declaration of Independence indicates the spirit in which our institutions were founded and should ever be defended:
“The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country.” (1)
The Source of our blessings and protection is being removed by design. This is a crucial battle and all the more reason why every Christian needs to step up. Our Founders never intended for our rights, including the worship of Jesus Christ, to come under such an assault like this.
This will be a very difficult task that will take many political cycles to correct. Yet, it is our duty as Christians to stand and attempt a return to our founding principles. If we don’t, I believe God and future generations, will hold us responsible.

I have great respect for Abraham Lincoln. I have studied him and the Civil War in college and since those days. It sickens me to hear Obama compare himself to Lincoln. He definitely is no Abraham Lincoln!! After seeing the movie, “Lincoln,” my exchange of words to a lady as we walked out of the theater was just that–the lady agreed.
Yes, Christians have a great task before them. We must stand together and be ready for the task ahead as God gives us orders. My prayer is that Cahn’s words spoken at the Presidential Prayer Breakfast (which are from his book, “The Harbinger”) will motivate Christians across this country to begin a movement where we stand for God’s laws and the principles our Forefathers set before us.

I agree that Christians need to take action, but it begins in the Pulpit. We need the Pastors to direct us according to God.
