The left has made itself not our opponent but our enemy. While its partisans are still our fellow citizens and deserve basic Christian charity, they do not deserve our trust. We are long past the time when it was possible to compromise with the left in view of some agreed-upon common good. They have blasted it into No Man’s Land.

We are locked in a Hobbesean conflict for mere civic survival.

Hillary and Obama would much rather go to war with Christians in the US than Muslims in the Middle East.

Good grief. It's super easy and quite comfortable to be a Christian in the US. Sure, things have happened that I dislike and disagree with but our ability to worship or even just speak of our faith without fear of violence or imprisonment is perfectly safe.

We really need to drop the persecution complex. We don't even know what it is here.

No, that's a lie. We love blowing up things in the ME, it's great for the corporations that support war. Obama didn't stop our Infinity War, he expanded it and started using drones more than anyone else. Anyone that is not a friend of the ol' Clinton Corp will be fighting for survival on some level, but Hillary will continue our Infinity war in the ME. It's good for business.

That's because they, as does your average kook leftist, hates Christians and believe them to be their enemy. Leftists and muslims have allied themselves against Christians and will stop at nothing to destroy Christianity.

By "going to war with Christians" you must mean "denying the right to discriminate and opress others".
In the seven years that Obama has been President,no legislature has been put forth preventing Christians from being Christian,denying them the right to attend Churches,or denying them the right to voice their opinions.
The article you present makes lots of allegations,but no proof of those allegations. That's just piss poor jounalism and nothing more that click bait.

You mean getting your information from right wing blogs like Lowdown did?
Who posted an article making serious accusations and not an iota of proof?
That kind of "current events"?

Do yourself a favor, stop getting your news from thedailykooks.com, you might learn something. Good luck.

Which ones, the ones where Christians want special treatment because they have delusional beliefs?

Assumes facts not in evidence and the in the most hilarious manner, to boot.

All Churches have to follow rules. No Church whether it be Christian or other is exempt from all laws, rules and regulations. The Constitution is quite clear that Churches are entitled to freedom of association, Freedom of speech, and freedom to religion....but no where in the Constitution does it give any Church carte blanche to violate others' rights.

The specific complaint in the OP are that Churches oppose the Iowa's Civil Rights Commission's laws on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. If the Churches in Iowa believe they should be exempt from such regulations...then the courts are their next step.

This is a State of Iowa issue, not a federal issue. The Iowa Supreme Court should rule...and if the Churches do not feel the ruling is just in their favor, the Federal courts are available to their appeals.

There is no war on Christ. The US Constitution recognizes all Gods. All Gods are equal under the US Constitution.

There exist a war on Christians, you're just blind to it. And, no, ALL gods are not equal.

Of course seriously. There's a bizarre narrative out there that anyone that gets in the way of their absolute freedom to do whatever they want is somehow oppressing them and out to get them. It's the ultimate boogie man fear that because you're not getting your way, they're coming to string you up. It isn't just Christians doing it either, we see the same kind of narrative from a lot of people on the left.
