It is a well documented fact that the media not only failed, but made a conscious effort to not thoroughly vet President Obama during his rise to power in 2008. The political landscape has continued to tilt in that same direction but has now begun to openly focus its efforts on “outing” conservative Christians for the sole purpose of mocking them.
It’s a troubling double standard that has grown rapidly over the past few years. GOP 2016 contender Gov. Scott Walker has come under fire over the last few weeks, not for infidelity, committing a crime, dishonesty or anything like that. Walker has simply been acknowledging his Christian faith and the media is having a field day.
The most recent incident occurred this week when Walker mentioned that he was still waiting for “God’s calling” regarding whether or not he would run for president in 2016. Political wire reporter, Taegan Goddard, who later admitted he didn’t know that Christians believe they can communicate with God through prayer, jumped on Walker and openly criticized him for praying.
This is not the first time the media has belittled Walker for being a Christian. The presidential hopeful avoided a question from a reporter recently about whether or not he believed in evolution. Not only was this a question that would never be asked of a liberal Christian politician running for president, it was completely uncalled for in the context it was asked in. That context? An official governor’s trip to London to discuss foreign relations. The media, as it has in the past, pounced on this non-story and immediately labeled Walker as a backwards, bible-thumping Christian who doesn’t believe in science.
On the other side of the coin, the press chose not to vet President Obama in 2008. Not only that, the mainstream media has fallen all over itself trying to assure the public that radical Islam has nothing to do with Islam. But yet, being a Christian is something to laugh about.
This blatant media bias is no coincidence. Jeb Bush has already received the Mitt Romney treatment and he hasn’t even announced his candidacy yet. The media has attacked Bush for alleged high school indiscretions involving smoking marijuana and “bullying” his classmates.
President Obama earned a free pass for associating with radical terrorist Bill Ayers, sitting in Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years, experimenting with drugs and a whole host of other transgressions. Not one complaint from the mainstream media. But in the media’s mind, Jeb Bush isn’t allowed to smoke a joint in high school and Scott Walker isn’t allowed to pray to God. It’s an embarrassing double standard.
Perhaps the most confusing aspect of the media’s war on Christianity is that President Obama routinely says the same things that Walker said and it goes unnoticed. At the National Prayer Breakfast, Obama said, “But no matter the challenge, He has been there for all of us. He’s certainly strengthened me “with the power through his Spirit,” as I’ve sought His guidance not just in my own life but in the life of our nation.”
Where was the sarcastic tweet from Taegan Goddard on that one?
The truth is, the left will latch onto any reason they can to try and make conservatives look stupid, regardless of who or what they disparage in the process. Nothing is safe, not even religion.
As you can see in the video below, even the British interviewer scoffed at the idea of a politician believing in the bible, and true to form, Walker kept his cool.
I am saddened by all of this. Especially for Mr. Walker and his family. The conservative Christians are taking a beating from everyone all the way around and we can sit and allow Islamic terrorists into our nation and yet we scoff when someone bows their head to pray.
This nation is slowly losing its touch with God, and when that happens, it’s all over. The country that God once had ordained will be the country that God curses. It’s a shame really. I feel for all of the people that don’t believe in God, because they’re going to get a surprise one day. Hey, you’re either going to believe in Him now, or you’re going to believe in Him later….either way, these people WILL kneel at the feet of Jesus, whether on this earth or in judgement.

And you are surprised they’re “outing” conservative Christians? The media and universities and other institutions of learning and the so-called “scientific” communities have been shoving The One True God and His Word and His followers into the closet where Evil USED to dwell since the 1960s. for years and even decades the liberals have been demonizing Christians as “bigoted” “haters” and so now we have an unabashedly open, GASP, “CHRISTIAN” RING THE ALARMS A HATER IS TRYING TO BECOME PRESIDENT! We can

The thing cut me off! Continuing:
…”we can’t have an “openly Christian” bigot/hater in the presidency of the Union of Soviet States of AmeriKa!” (GASP AGAIN! He’ll take away Gay “rights” and put slaves back in chains and remove women’s rights and take us back into the Stone Age! By goddess we can’t let this “pervert” get elected!!!) Yep, the Christians are the perverts and the things that made our country great are EVIL, like personally being responsible for your actions (“do the crime, pay the time”) or inaction (like laziness, “don’t work, Don’t eat”). Now we have excuses and laws that make people “victims” instead of criminals, and laziness is rewarded with money AND food stamps! But Christians are the “evil ones”. We need to lock THEM up in prisons and insane asylum. Oh wait, I have a BETTER “final solution” let’s just behead them all! Yeah, let’s adopt that part of Islam we can accept, “off with their heads” those evil Christians. And let’s take their kids away from their bigoted “brainwashing” and reprogram them in the ways of “diversity” which has NOTHING to do with “race” and EVERYTHING to do with accepting LGBT and gender identity ideas! And while we are at it let’s burn Bibles and other “bigoted” books and teaching materials! They violate the universal laws of diversity! Diversity, for those of you who do not understand the principles laid down by our founding lesbian/gay progenitors, does NOT mean we accept ALL forms of ideas as equal! Since Christianity and ideas like it (some religious in nature, others not) are “bigoted” against LGBT/GID they are NOT ALLOWED in a “FREE” SOCIETY! It is OKAY to be bigoted TOWARD Christianity and such beliefs because they go against what WE believe! So we gotta “OUT” these “evil bigots, haters” and prevent them from “perverting” our great nation where “minorities rule”! In South Africa we called minority rule GASP Apartheid, but here in AmeriKa we call it Democracy!

One or two final things!
Governor Walker and Dr Ben Carson are unabashed CHRISTIANS who may seek or are seeking the presidency of the US. One is a “white” American and one is a “black” American. The only difference as far as “race” goes is the amount of melanin in their skin cells! WE ARE ALL OF ONE BLOOD, THERE IS ONLY ONE HUMAN RACE AND IT IS US! (Uh, think that is a other twisted Christian idea? Check out the human genome project. They “discovered” we are all related to each other, and there are genetically MILLIONS of differences between humans and our supposed cousins the great apes! Oh, and we are supposed closer to Gorillas than chimps! WAKE UP AMERICA YOU ARE BEING MISLEAD BY “MONKEYS”) We are NOT monkeys as so-called “scientists” and their blind followers (the media and commie college dean’s and professors) would have you believe!
We were created in God’s image, hand-formed from DIRT, and life breathed into us by God Himself! (READ THE GENESIS CREATION ACCOUNT, we humans were a special creation FROM THE BEGINNING!) We are created for purpose, not to breed any female we can get our hands on but to Pro-create in His image imitating Him in creation of new life! It’s not about “sex” as the monkey-loving “scientific” community and PUBIC (no typo) schools want you to believe! You HAVE purpose and it’s not to create babies (or destroy them at abortion clinics- the new “death chambers” of the fourth Reich. ) for fun! BTW did you know Margaret Sanger, who began the organization which would become Planned Murder- oops, Parenthood, was a eugenics nut like the Nazis she admired? She believed in helping “natural selection” (the lesser goddess of evolution behind the goddess Gravity) along like Darwin in advancing the human race and felt the inferior “races” should be eliminated! YEP, Darwin was a racist who advocated eliminating the “inferior races”. But he is touted as the savior of mankind who saved us fro. The evils of Christianity. (The Root of Darwin’s hatred for Christianity and the One True God is that God didn’t act like his genie who would bow to his demands and save his little girl!)
Even the animal kingdom doesn’t pervert the meaning of sex like humans do! It is a sacred thing that is supposed to be shared between a man and his wife but we have perverted it to same sex unions, sex with inanimate objects or animals or ourselves! Tell me what animal in our ancient past we got these perversions from? They are not acceptable in any animal species I am aware of, though man has been trying to prove a genetic marker for the “gay gene”

Cut off again!!
BTW it is a proven “scientific” FACT that if you put your mind to it you WILL prove there is a gay gene. I mean, “science” has “proved” a “missing link” MANY times, Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man, Neanderthal, a bunch of hoaxes or misread (at times intentionally) bones!
There was once a researcher who was touted by the media because he “found” a gay component in the human brain surgery of dead gay men! He (sadly) died two years later of AIDS and his “research” was scientifically unsound because he didn’t do comparisons with non-gay dead guys! He was trying to prove there was a gay component in the brain and found what he wanted. Kinda like the “scientific” community trying to find the “missing link”. Or accepting the words of the King of Science Hawking who stated that because there is thee law of gravity, everything is and so are we! Gravity is the new miracle working goddess of evolution, and her sister natural selection is the one who makes life more advanced until we have people who DENY the existence of the God who TRULY made us and will hold us accountable for our choices and actions and inactions!
God have mercy on us undeserving scumbags! “We like sheep have gone astray!” “There is none righteous, no not ONE!” And,”all our righteousness are like filthy rags”!
Please Father, have mercy on the U.S. and the rest of YOUR world! In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s, Isa’s) Name.
