Chuckie Watch 14: Chuckie vs. the "Anti-Christians"

Sometimes it's entertaining to poke fun at Chuckie's rants, in a "shooting-fish-in-the-barrel" kind of way. Other times Chuckie's "angry white guys" schtick is just annoying.

His latest is called "Christian Soldiers" (my emphasis):

It cannot be denied and it cannot be ignored, there is at this very point in time a vicious and systematic attack on Christianity and all it pertains to.

I'm quite sure the A.C.L.U. would deny the fact that that is their intent and that they are involved in this effort up to their toupees but the Bible says to judge someone by their fruits and looks at the fruits of the A.C.L.U. which are so well documented that I won't even go into them.

Of course they are not the only ones who want to remove every vestige of God from public life in a nation whose fore bearers [sic] were believers and framed our federal papers to reflect it, but the point is this, it's happening brother and sisters. ...

Well folks, we've got worse than merchants in the temple these days, we've got lawyers with their anti-God, anti-American, anti-Christian mania and they want to inhibit our rights to spread the gospel and if we don't stand up and fight them tooth and nail they will win victory after victory until our religious rights are completely eroded away.

People with Chuckie's worldview often use "anti-Christian" to mean "Jewish."

His argument about the American Founders making a government based on religion is just historically wrong.

There are places in the world where Christians really are persecuted in serious ways, like China, Saudi Arabia and the Sudan. For people in the US to complain that obscure court cases about fine points of First Amendment law represent "a vicious and systematic attack" on the Christian religion is really kind of pitiful.

Boston *Globe* columnist Derrick Jackson cites an example in this article of "anti-Christian" being used in a context to mean "Jewish."
