| Craig James |
Barack Obama, who's normally right less often than a broken clock, did manage to get something right recently when he stated that America is no longer a Christian nation.
How true. Many Christians are discovering that through the increasing amount of hostility they've been encountering from secular fascists in America who despise their faith and want to eradicate it.
Who are these fascists? They are humanists who are employed in the media, entertainment industry, education and in various levels of government. They are also militant homosexuals who have become a paramilitary wing of secularists.
Does that sound alarmist? Then consider a Christian couple named Aaron and Melissa Klein who recently closed their popular bakery (Sweet Cakes by Melissa) in Gresham, Oregon after militant homosexuals swooped down on them like vultures.
What did the Kleins do to incur the wrath of gay militants? They refused an order from a lesbian couple for a wedding cake. The lesbian couple subsequently filed a complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries.
When the complaint was publicized by the media, militant homosexuals organized a boycott of the bakery and threatened other establishments that did business with Sweet Cakes by Melissa. And the Kleins also reported that their children were threatened with physical harm.
Craig James has also become the victim of secular fascists. James was recently employed as a football analyst for Fox Sports Southwest until he was fired because of remarks he made in 2012 concerning same-sex marriage.
A born-again Christian, James made those remarks during an unsuccessful run for the Senate. Here's what James said: "People choose to be gay...I think' it's a choice. I do. Same-sex marriage, if someone chooses to do that, that's done. And God's going to judge each one of us for our actions. And in that case right there, they're going to have to answer to the Lord for their actions."

James didn't make those remarks while he was on the air with Fox. Nor did he make those statements on the air with his previous employers ESPN and CBS where he earned accolades as one of the finest football analysts in the nation. He made those remarks on his own time.
As a U.S. citizen whose speech is protected by the First Amendment, James has a right to express his opinions on same-sex marriage. And as a Christian, James has a right to express his worldview that has been the prevailing view of marriage in America since her inception.
But evidently, Christians such as James aren't allowed to share that view publicly anymore. When executives at Fox Sports Southwest learned about James' opposition to gay marriage, they pulled the plug on him. Fox Sports Southwest defended its decision to terminate James with this statement: "We just asked ourselves how Craig's statements would play in our human resources department. He couldn't say those things here."
Ironically, he didn't say those things at Fox Sports Southwest. Yet, he was still fired. Why? Because the network feared the inevitable backlash from gay militants who would've done to Fox Sports Southwest what they've done to other businesses and organizations that have dared to oppose same-sex marriage and the LGBT lifestyle. They would've attacked the network by bullying sponsors who do business with Fox Sports Southwest.
James has retained the Liberty Institute whose attorneys sent a letter to Fox threatening legal action against the network for religious discrimination unless James is rehired.
Most likely, Fox will reach a financial settlement with James because that will cost the network far less money than it figures to lose when sponsors and viewers flee via political pressure exerted by gay militants.
Fox was dead wrong to terminate James. And the network knows that. Fox discriminated against James by violating his constitutional rights.
Why? Because Fox caved in to secular fascists who hate Christians. That's why. And tragically, the persecution of Christians in America is only going to get worse. Far worse.
