Hitler met with the church leaders and told them to trust him.\u00a0 “I’ll take care of the church.”<\/p>\n
Then he “took care of” the church alright.<\/p>\n
And Europe.<\/p>\n

Who cares if the Japanese worship their emperor?<\/p>\n
Who cares if that makes them crazy fanatics?<\/p>\n

And now, as though we haven’t surrendered enough, publicly, we invite Muslims to pray in our National Cathedral, our country’s Christian church in our capital.<\/p>\n
Anyone with a bit of history knows they claim for Islam every piece of property where they hold such an event.<\/p>\n
The best case scenario is that the leaders of the National Cathedral think that compromise with Islam will provide protection.\u00a0 Problem is, that never happens with this ideology.<\/p>\n
The worse case scenario is that the leaders of the National Cathedral think that connection with Islam will provide protection.\u00a0 Problem is, that means surrendering to this ideology.<\/p>\n
The National Cathedral is no longer a Christian church, if Muslims are welcome to pray in it.<\/p>\n
“What fellowship does evil have with good, or light with darkness?”<\/p>\n

For the people involved in these decisions and statements, it is a fork in the road.<\/p>\n
It raises the question of sanity, or else collaboration with the enemy, saying this evil is peaceful or workplace violence.<\/p>\n
This enemy is the enemy of our souls, and the enemy of the soul of America.<\/p>\n
We cannot afford any more compromise—in our government—in our churches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
