Park Service: Dissing Christians Just Dandy

........a guide who "mimicked and mocked [a Christian] carrying and swinging an oversized Bible ... ."

"Even if I said the founders were Christians, how could we really know? Just because people carry a big ol' Bible in their hand, they can still be atheists!" said the guide.

"What Do You Do With Good Ole Boys Like Me?"

Don Williams Music Video

Lyrics

When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
He talked about honor and things I should know
Then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door

CHORUS:
I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Hank and Tennessee
I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
So what do you do with good ole boys like me

Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does
But you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like I was
The smell of cape jasmine thru the window screen
John R. and the Wolfman kept me company
By the light of the radio by my bed
With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head

When I was in school I ran with kid down the street
But I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed
But I was smarter than most and I could choose
Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news
When I was eighteen, Lord, I hit the road
But it really doesn't matter how far I go
=======

Couldn't be better.

"Americans May Revolt"

The Left’s Last Gamble

"The goal was to provoke them to anger, and ultimately to rebellion."

Hasta La Vista, Baity

When the North Carolina legislature asked Ron Baity to serve as a guest chaplain at the state house, the pastor of Berean Baptist Church said it was an honor. What he didn't know was how short-lived that honor would be! During the last week of May, when Pastor Baity was scheduled to open the session in prayer, a House clerk asked to first review the text. When she noticed the last line, she said, "We would prefer that you not use the name of Jesus. We have some people here that can be offended." But it was Pastor Baity who was most offended. When the clerk raised the issue with House Speaker Joe Hackney, Pastor Baity said plainly, "My faith requires that I pray in His name. The Bible is very clear." In the end, Hackney decided that the pastor could offer his prayer--but that it would be his last one. After that, Baity's services would "no longer be needed." A stunned Baity told Fox News Radio, "When the state tells you how to pray, that you cannot use the name of Jesus--that's mandating a state religion. They talk about not offending other people but at the same time, if they are telling me how to pray--that's the very thing our forefathers left England for."

For FRC, the controversy is personal. As part of our Watchmen on the Wall outreach to pastors, we partner with 50 ministers who network and lead other pastors in each state to advance faith, family, and freedom. Ron Baity is our volunteer pastor-leader in North Carolina, and he certainly understands the church's role in securing our liberty. So when the "powers that be" in the North Carolina State House told him that he wouldn't be allowed to finish the week as chaplain because he was praying a "sectarian" prayer, he knew better. And he also won't give up without a fight! That's why he enlisted the help of Attorney David C. Gibbs of the Christian Law Association, who had this to say about the Tar Heels' censorship. By the way, this isn't Baity's first run-in with North Carolina's PC police. Here's his testimony from an incident a few years ago and how our Watchmen on the Wall program has helped him.
