WE ALL ARE MORMONS |
by Rabbi Shifren |
We are living in an era of insanity! Witness the latest attempt to
remake the nature of our country, founded and established on certain
principles that have been the envy of the entire world. The latest
assault on our country and its values comes in the form of vicious
and criminal violence against the Mormon church in Westwood,
California.
Interesting how the selective self-righteous indignation on the part
of the radical Gay activists is played out here: they bewail the
blow to freedom and justice! But I thought we just had elections,
where the majority of Californians expressed their views in a free
and open manner. Are we not a nation of laws? Dare we relive the
McCarthy era, where Americans were harassed and threatened with the
loss of their jobs for believing in a certain way? If the Gay
radicals should have their way, untold numbers of Americans would
live under the threat of the Gay-Lesbian "thought police," where
individuals that reject the Gay lifestyle would be sought out and
have sanctions brought against them.
It's bad enough for those working in the entertainment industry here
in Los Angeles, where a fog of political correctness and a bending
over backwards to accommodate, even promote Gay lifestyle is in full
gear. Let none dare say that this type of activity is anathema to
our country, our morality, and the debauchery of our young people.
Let it be stated unequivocally: The radical Gay attack on the
Mormons is the shot over the bow against the United States of
America. There was a time when what a man did in his bedroom was
sanctified between himself and G-d. Now we are being served an
"in-your-face" smorgasbord of smut and licentiousness as being
between people who only "want their civil rights."
Hogwash! We are dealing with the equivalent of a moral takeover of
the country that has as its bedrock a belief in G-d and His promise
for humanity. They don't want civil rights! What they desire is
quasi Gay/Lesbian hegemony, where a huge "bookburning," reminiscent
of the Nazis, will purge any remnants of the "Christian, White,
mainstream America" that has given ALL AMERICANS the most profound
scope of freedom, liberty, and justice that Mankind has yet to
experience.
People have perhaps wondered: why the Mormons? Answer: they are a
small, yet vocal Christian minority. They have been selected by the
mobs as vulnerable, a group that might not have such massive support
among America's Christians.
We who are friends of the Mormons, their patriotism, their family
values, will not falter in our continued support of these dear
Americans. Let us recall the Christian minister Niemoller, whose
admonition during those dark years of Nazi Germany moved us to our
core:
"When they came for the gypsies, I said nothing, because I wasn't a
gypsy. When they came for the homosexuals, I said nothing, because I
wasn't a homosexual. When they came for the Jews, I said nothing,
because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I said
nothing, because I wasn't a Catholic......then they came for me, and
there was no one left to defend me."
My fellow Americans, in the coming battle for the heart and soul of
America and everything we cherish, may this call to arms be the
mantra of every concerned patriot:
"WE ALL ARE MORMONS!"
