It would be interesting to compare the hostile treatment that orthodox Christianity receives on US campuses with how it is received on college campuses in other countries. For example, South Korea, India, Brazil and Russia.
From Drudge under the headline “Biden says “Time to take back America”
DETROIT (WJBK) – Several hundred people, mostly union workers, crowded the site of the old Tiger Stadium to hear vice president Joe Biden speak Monday morning ahead of the organized labor’s annual parade.
The vice president’s speech helped kick off the start of the Detroit Labor Day parade. This is the second time Biden has been in Detroit on Labor Day in the past three years.
Biden spoke about the power of the union and how the union really is the reason why many of us have rights. He also stressed the importance of all Americans sticking together and, if we do that, how we will succeed. He believes if the middle class does well, so will everyone else.
“The American people have not stopped dreaming. The American people have not walked away from what they believe they are entitled to. Just give them a chance! No hand out – just give them a chance!” Biden said.
He talks as if he hasn’t been in charge for six years. They’ve only made it worse.
Mumsee, I run into that subscription thing, too, on various websites. Somehow, the same request for subscription doesn’t come up when I just Google the article. So in this case, the article’s headline is “The Wrong Kind of Christian,” I googled that, clicked the first link, and the entire thing was available. I don’t thoroughly understand, but oh well…
I just finished reading a chapter in Blood Feud by Edward Klein. I had forgotten abut this: But the Democratic Convention in Charlotte had deleted any mention of God from the party platform. And they removed the recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capitol.
Convention chairman Antonio Villaraigosa had to pull some legal tricks on request of the White House to get them back in.
He was successful. Though the convention obviously didn’t want anything to do with God or Jerusalem
Villaraigosa never was thanked.
I get the impression that Barack only cares about three people in the world. Himself, Michelle and Valerie. I’m not sure of the order of the last two.
Bill isn’t like that. He cares about Bill. That’s it.

Tychicus, I was not speaking of liberals who side with homosexuals. I was speaking of the homosexual activists who are trying to run Christian organizations off of college campuses.
“President Obama may not have a strategy for defeating the Islamic State, but the Islamic State has a strategy for the U.S. In fact, that strategy is set out, in part, in an al-Qaeda manual recently translated for the benefit of the U.S. military. …”

This is an interesting article by a very moderate Christian. It makes clear that homosexual leaders desire the end of orthodox Christianty.

RW: Is it fair to characterize them as “homosexual leaders”? It sounds more like liberals who sympathize with the homosexual agenda.

As one tweeter noted, at least someone has a strategy.
