The Intolerant Left

The left’s attacks on Speaker Mike Johnson are unrelenting. They decided to ruin Christmas for his family by attacking his daughter and his faith because they can’t find anything else on him.

Left-wing American media outlets, and even some British media outlets, are attacking Speaker Johnson because he took his daughter to a “purity dance” years ago. The reports claimed, without evidence, that Johnson required his daughter to attend the event and that “she was made to take a vow of abstinence.”

This was presented to us as the latest example of Johnson’s “deeply held views.” Oh, the horror!

I am outraged by these attacks on normal Christianity, and you should be, too!

The Bible teaches that the gifts of human sexuality should be channeled through marriage. Now the left wants to label normal Christianity as something crazy and cultish. They’re saying this as moral standards in the United States and the West generally are in total meltdown.

But no one is rethinking the “sexual revolution” and its negative impacts on society – the explosion of out-of-wedlock pregnancies, increasing abortions, the breakdown of the family and everything else that results from it.

Is anyone on the left rethinking these disastrous results? No, they’re too busy attacking the people who want to uphold Judeo-Christian norms.

Over the last 30 years, the left has repeatedly said, “Live and let live,” as these cultural battles have raged on. “Don’t tell us how we have to live or what we can do in our bedrooms,” they would say. And some conservatives bought into this.

But no society is “values neutral.” There are certain things it holds up and things it wants people to avoid.

Not that long ago, our society wanted people to avoid sex at early ages, avoid multiple partners and sex outside of marriage. Now it’s totally upside down.

Being virtuous is considered “weird,” and what you should avoid is contact with those “crazy Christians” who try to protect their children’s innocence.

And don’t miss this key point: There’s nothing in any of these articles that suggests Speaker Johnson has a legislative plan to force every American to follow his values. No one is pointing to legislation that appropriates millions of dollars for “purity dances.” There is no public policy effort to do that.

The left isn’t attacking Johnson because he has the power to teach your daughter how to be chaste. He’s being attacked simply because he taught his daughter to be chaste.

Again, my friends, the left has no intention of letting us just “live and let live.” The left will attack our values every chance it gets until no one is willing to speak up and fight back in defense of Faith, Family and Freedom.
