I had a wake-up call during an interview last week with an English friend who was once a minister in the Church of England. He was also active as a journalist and broadcaster. He told how he was conducting a radio interview on the BBC on the issue of abortion. At the time he had accepted the politically correct opinion that abortion was simply about a woman’s choice. However, his interviewee was opposed to abortion so he took a moment during the interview to look online at the statistics and found that since the legalization of abortion in Britain the lives of some 6 million unborn children had been snuffed out.
He commented spontaneously on air, “Gosh, that’s like the holocaust!” After the broadcast was over he was taken to one side by the editor of the show and told, “Don’t you ever compare the abortion question to the holocaust! If you dare to repeat this you will never work in the BBC again.”
It was a reminder of the increasing power of the woke bullies in our cancel culture. What was more disturbing was that a few days earlier I had spent some time listening to the sermon of an Anglican minister. She proclaimed the politically correct gospel from the pulpit on the issue of human sexuality.
As the forces of woke-ism gear up we should expect an assault on religious freedom. The thought police will be investigating Christian schools, listening to Christian sermons, and monitoring Christian writing for any traces of thoughts and words that do not conform. If the historic Christian faith is deemed to be offensive “hate speech” it will be suppressed.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
