Christians, white Conservative men, and Conservative women and minorities are the only remaining groups that can be openly ridiculed and bigoted against, and people actually believe they are more sophisticated for doing so.

Disagree? Look how the left has pilloried Clarence Thomas but deified Barack Obama. Both the left AND the Republican elite have pilloried Sarah Palin, but until Obama came into the picture, the left worshipped Hilary Clinton.

The second most intolerant religion rewrites history and falsifies quotes to justify their beliefs and support their agenda.

They take a Sarah Palin request for prayer that people and companies would work together to built a pipeline that will not only bring revenue to the people of Alaska, but will bring hundreds of billions of cubic feet of cheap, clean natural gas to hungry American energy markets, and help free our nation of the chains of importing energy from countries who don’t have our best interests central in their minds.

It's not about doing what God wants. It's about praying to God that you're doing the right thing. But there’s another aspect that I hesitate even to mention because I am acutely aware how the left both misinterprets AND falsifies things. This is that prayer is also asking God to speak to the hearts of men—friend and foe alike—that they might see beyond petty grievances or self-serving desires, and do the right thing. This might be reasonably called “conscience”. And just to sort of pre-empt the left’s attack on this, I am well aware that they will both misinterpret and distort this last. I know how they think better than many of them do.

Atheism is the world’s SECOND MOST intolerant religion, and I think committed atheists would fall down in fits of convulsions if they ever saw how our Founding Fathers prayed, not to mention how our military leaders and our succeeding Presidents, including some of their Democratic heroes (big “D”), have prayed before major military operations such as the Normandy Invasion, or the Tarawa Invasion, or Pres. Truman before giving the order to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

On the eve of the D-Day invasion to begin the final destruction of the Nazi German war machine in mainland Europe, a German-American from Abilene Kansas, (not Abilene Texas, as some sources state inaccurately—I’ve been to the museum that was his childhood home), agonized over the potential costs and giving the order to invade Normandy.

Dwight D. Eisenhower knew that tens of thousands might die—including civilians, and that they still might fail to secure a beachhead.

Ike had no more attractive options.

Eisenhower found it difficult to look men in the eye that night, knowing that he was ordering many of them to their deaths (actual American dead numbered 4,900). But look them in the eye he did. He walked through the camps of the 101st Airborne, and he looked them in the eye, and he shook their hands. He found in this THEIR reassurances that all would go well because the 101st Airborne was on the job. He did not leave their camps until every one of them had departed for France, well after midnight.

And back in his tent, he drafted a message that he never had to send, taking full responsibility for the failure of the D-Day Invasion. He even goofed on the date at the bottom of the note, and wrote July 5. He remarked to his assistant, "I hope to God I know what I'm doing."

It's about praying for wisdom and for guidance that you don't make a decision that wastes those men's lives. In those hours, is it so impossible to believe that this man prayed for guidance, and that our forces and our cause would prevail?

President FDR certainly did. On June 6, 1944, FDR led the nation in prayer:

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith. They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.

Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.

 And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters and brothers of brave men overseas, whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them -- help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice. ...

 ... Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.

With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace -- a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

What a religious zealot!

What a Bible thumping crazy!

What idiotic reasonings of a religious conservative!

What a religious wingnut!

What a cyanide laced Kool-Aid drinker!

Imagine a President today saying that we were in a struggle to preserve our religion!

Imagine a President today saying we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy!

In today’s world, the left and the MSM would come unglued if it came to light that President Bush or even a military commander was unsure of the chances of success on the eve of the Iraq war invasion, and that he had prayed for wisdom and guidance that he was making the right decision.

Some might say that it’s a different situation, but not really. At the time of the Normandy Invasion, public support for the war was waning back home as America had already sustained heavy casualties. If the D-Day invasion had not gone well, there would have been hell to pay on the home front.

After all, it wasn’t Hitler who had attacked us at Pearl Harbor.

I think the left has collectively filled their heads with this idea that anyone who prays to God could only be looking for God to tell them what HE wants them to do, and in the mind of the atheist, this makes them “wacko”, and somehow violates the designed firewall between church and state.

In Mel Gibson's movie We Were Soldiers Once... and Young, Lt. Col. Moore prays with one of his soldiers before they went into battle with the North Vietnamese, even asking God to ignore his enemy’s “heathen prayers”. Say what you will about Hollywood, the REAL Lt. Col. Moore was Ok with Mel Gibson playing him, and endorsed the movie as historically accurate. I wonder if the left would consider Lt. Col Moore a wacko, now more than 40 years ago…
