On March 17, Evan wrote about an upcoming conference called The War on Christians, or, as I like to call it, MartyrCom. In order to design their best defenses against our devious machinations to throw Christians in jail, forcibly abort their fetuses, and compel them to engage in sexual acts with members of the same sex in accordance with our radical gay agenda, these delusional nutzoids will congregate at such panels as "The Gay Agenda: America Won’t Be Happy," "The Judiciary: Overruling God," "The Media: Megaphone For Anti-Faith Values," and other colon-separated subject matter.

Today, I read that Dr. Rick Scarborough, founder and president of Vision America, acting chairman of The Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration, and conference keynote speaker along with U.S. Senator John Cornyn, will also unveil his new book at MartyrCom: Liberalism Kills Kids.

"Liberalism Kills Kids" is a groundbreaking work which documents the devastating failure of America's 40-year experiment with liberal statism. From the deaths of 44 million unborn children, to skyrocketing rates of out-of-wedlock births, to the divorce epidemic, to the destructive demands of the movement to normalize homosexuality -- the book exposes a cultural coup d'etat that has left our families gasping for air.

Although claiming that abortions kill children isn’t exactly groundbreaking in its irritating yet tiresomely familiar mendacity, the assertion that children born out of wedlock, witness their parents' divorces, or come out of the closet apparently drop dead is, I admit, some admirable trailblazing lunacy. Then again, maybe Dr. Scarborough isn't suggesting that those things quite literally kill kids, but Liberalism Provides for Nontraditional Family Structures I Don’t Like isn’t quite as catchy a title.

"Liberalism Kills Kids" indicts many of the same forces to be discussed at the War On Christians conference -- Hollywood, the news media, the judiciary and organizations like the ACLU, which -- in the guise of promoting civil liberties -- are demolishing the social order.

Oh, I see. Demolishing the social order. That isn't really the same as killing kids, is it? There are plenty of things that have the capacity to actually kill kids in America--endemic poverty leading to malnutrition/starvation, lack of access to affordable healthcare (including cutting-edge treatments and drugs), corporate irresponsibility and lax environmental regulations, guns, the kind of opportunistic hatemongering that plays on prejudices and can spiral into hate crimes which leave gay teenagers hanging dead on fences, just for a start. Curiously, what all those things have in common is that they wouldn't make a good fit with the title Liberalism Kills Kids. I'm sure there's a more appropriate title, but, gosh, it's just escaping me at the moment.

How about a real page-turner?

From that new sensation out of Selmer, Tennessee, the buckle of the Bible Belt:

"Preachers' Wives Kill Dads" -- The true story of how a picture-perfect family in Christendom became the top news story of the day! Find out how one wife couldn't take it anymore and pulled a Dick Cheney on her Godly Hubbie! Why'd she do it? Too many matching outfits required for Christmas Card photo ops? Too few instances of music and dancing in the Church of Christ? Soon to be a Lifetime Movie of the Week! Brought to you by God, Guns & Guts: We got 'em for sale at the local Wally-World (bullets cost extra.)

The church has always been a failed state legislating into Sharia law the moral dictates of mankind. The flow of Christian children fleeing this culture over the past 20 years into my home has no one to blame but the culture its self. The freedom to choose between good and evil instituted by the teachings and doctrines of Jesus Christ seems to me to be liberalism at its best and in direct opposition to church leaders and Parental control.

oddly enough, the divorce rate and out-of-wedlock childbirth rate is HIGHEST in the red states. I believe that godless Sodomite den of sin, the Commonwealth of Massachussetts, has the lowest rates of all fifty states in both categories, IIRC.

abortion and out-of-wedlock birth

It seems to me that an increased rate of unwed motherhood would coincide with a decreased rate of abortion. Isn't it hypocritical to blame both on "the liberals"?

Let the liberals show thier true nature of kindness and generousity and take up a collection to send these young Christians to evangelize on the streets of Baghdad. They would be showing the cut of their convictions, pleasing their pastors, puffing up their trailer-camp parents and getting the hell out of dodge. Their brothers and sisters in fanatacism would welcome them to their shared Talibanesque vision of how great life could be, and, if they showed them the power of Jesus' love, perhaps we can all have a 'cum'bya moment and stop the violence. OR, we can have their decapitated bodies shipped home to one of their mega-churches for a hoe-down presided over by Fallwell/Robertson/Dobson and the most lovely Phyllis Schlafley. We'd all feel a whole lot closer to fulfilling our religious obligations, wouldn't we?

War kills kids more effectively than anything.

War on Christians.

I predict that the Christians will welcome us as liberators. :)

Maybe not at first, as we shock and awe the crap out of their homes, but once they see us pull Dobson from his spider-hole, they will understand that we are here to help, and the war on Christianity will finally turn the corner.
