The "election denying" hypocrisy in the American media and the Democrat Party is blatant, widespread, and downright embarrassing! The video below--which YouTube has demonitized--well illustrates why this is the case:

The editorial board of the Idaho Statesman—Scott McIntosh, Bryan Clark, Chadd Cripe, Dana Oland, Jim Keyser and Mary Rohlfing—recently published an opinion piece condemning the actions of Christian organizations Hold the Line and Turning Point USA Faith. The Statesman editorial board doesn’t like the fact that the “Kingdom to the Capitol” tour has made its way to Boise, Idaho.
The Kingdom to the Capitol is a Christian “revival tour”
that holds prayer and
worship events across the U.S. Their goal is to bring praise and worship
music and prayer to every state capitol in the U.S. By my count, they’ve reached 23 so far. Kingdom
to the Capitol is the result of a partnership between Turning Point USA Faith
and Let Us Worship (a sister
organization to Hold the Line).
The title of the Idaho Statesman foolish opinion
piece begins with the old and overused leftist edict, “Keep your religion out
of our government.” The title concludes with the “scary” conclusion that “Dangerous
activists [are] coming to [the] Idaho Capitol.”
What’s so “dangerous” about the Kingdom to the Capitol
event? Statesman editorialists believe that the Christians behind the
event want to “inject their brand of Christianity into government.”
Similarly, later in the opinion piece, the authors declare,
“It’s no accident the rallies are being held at state Capitol buildings, as
these charlatans increasingly want to inject their brand of religion into
politics.” According to the editorialists, examples of injecting “religion into
politics” includes restrictions on abortions as well as restrictions on
so-called “gender-affirming care for transgender youth.”
In other words, it seems that the Statesman doesn’t
want the law in America to protect the most innocent and helpless among us from
death or permanent mutilation. Additionally, in an attempt to smear the event
and its attendees, the Statesman editorialists also use the familiar
“Christian nationalist” label.
Sean Feucht, a Christian singer, song writer, worship
leader, and former congressional candidate, is one of the event organizers. Attacking
Feucht directly, the Statesman editorialists write,
Feucht and his group are playing on the same, tired, worn-out, BS, far-right “fears” that evildoers on the Left are coming for your children, through the schools, through the libraries, at Pride festivals and drag shows. They frame the issue as a fight between good and evil, light vs. dark. Predictably, they clutch their pearls at transgender apparel at Target or popular music videos.
The last two sentences of the editorial declare, “No one is
telling these groups to abandon their religious beliefs. We’re just telling
them to keep their religion in their church and out of our government.”
This garbage opinion piece by the “Secular Nationalists” at
the Idaho Statesman is a perfect example of why so many in America hate
newspapers, and why so many newspapers across the U.S. are dying. (The
McClatchy Company, which owns the Idaho Statesman declared bankruptcy in
2020.) Given that Idaho is a solidly conservative state, it’s almost certain
that this opinion piece is quite unpopular with a significant majority of Idaho’s
residents, and just another reason for them not to give their time or money to
the Idaho Statesman.
Of course, being unpopular doesn’t mean that one is wrong. However,
as most conservatives well know, including the conservatives in Idaho, like so
many opinion writers in America, the Idaho Statesman editorialists are indeed
on the wrong side of the truth in some of the most important moral issues of
our time.
Few things in the moral realm of the universe are more clear
than what is life, and what is a male and a female. Thus, of course any society
governed by the rule of law should have laws that reflect the long-known truth
on these grave matters.
What’s more, the Stateman editorial writers are
seemingly blind to their moral and political hypocrisy here. It seems they are
fine with injecting their leftist worldview into America’s politics and laws,
but don’t like the idea of Christians doing the same.
As I
have long said, all
law the world over is rooted
in someone’s idea of morality. In other words, we either write
our own moral code—which almost certainly will be grossly flawed—and have
our laws reflect this moral code, or, when living our lives and when
legislating, we adhere to the laws of the Law Giver.
“Keep your religion out of our government” is much like the leftist
complaint of “Stop forcing your morality on me!” The proper retort to the
latter is, “Stop forcing your immorality on me!” Thus, to the Idaho Statesman
editorial board, I say, keep your irreligious, godless, and profane ideas out
of our government!
