"Fearful lest it be relegated to the position of an isolated sect, Christianity seems to be making frenzied efforts at mimicry in order to escape being devoured by its enemies--a reaction that seems defensive, but is in fact self-destructive. In the hope of saving itself, it seems to be assuming the colors of its environment, but the result is that it loses its identity. . . ."
--Leszek Kolakowski, from Modernity on Endless Trial

The Road to Destruction
"The fastest way to destroy a people is to separate them from their history."

(Karl Marx)

 

 

LIBERALS TRASH PILGRIMS AT AMERICA'S MOST SACRED SHRINE
Surely there is no place more sacred to the American people than Plymouth Rock, a place hallowed by the victory of faith and righteousness over overwhelming danger. There a persecuted and weary band of Christians sought a refuge in which to worship God as they chose. To make the perilous journey across the Atlantic they sacrificed all they owned, and received in return a bare patch of land in a hostile wilderness. The first winter, the weaker of the women and children died from starvation or disease as the others knelt beside their bedside in prayer. But their sacrifices were repaid a hundred-fold, a thousand-fold, for out of their devotion to the Lord God Jehovah, grew the mightiest and most righteous nation the world has ever known….America.

Oh, what a shame to see their name, and the name of America dragged through the mud, to be tread upon, and spit upon by modern liberals! Who can bear to look upon the face of the innocent Pilgrim women and children and hear such slander?

But that is exactly what is happening now at the place where the Pilgrims are “honored.” Take for example the plaque which shows a modern liberal account of American history. The plaque implies that the most important thing the Pilgrims brought to the New World was “Kidnapping and Plague.” Not only was it a plague, but a “European-borne” plague, as if the Pilgrims were “disease-bearing animals.” Rodents, perhaps? Or merely flies?

By clicking on the link below you can view a larger version of what liberals claim was a typical day in the life of the Pilgrims.

Libeling the Pilgrim Fathers
The photo on the right shows the explanation which accompanies the “Kidnapping and Plague” poster. Nor are these the only examples of the attempt to reinvent our history at Plymouth. Virtually the first thing one sees on entering the dockside display that surrounds the Mayflower II is a poster entitled “The Race for Profit” which gives the standard liberal explanation of the motives for the exploration and “colonizing” of the New World. Other similar posters are used in the exhibits explaining the history of Plymouth Plantation.
 

 

Honoring America's Past
Many us of were aware that American history is constantly being rewritten to suit the purposes of liberalism, but we had no idea that liberal revisionism would be found in the place we thought the Pilgrims would be most honored. Had Mike Heath not been led to visit the site of Plymouth Colony, we would still be unaware of this.

The people of Maine owe him a debt, since he is the only high-profile public figure who has integrity and courage enough to be an unapologetic champion of our traditions. So hats off to him!

Here he is shown onboard the Mayflower II. Later that day, he traveled to Lexington and visited the monuments honoring heroes of the Revolutionary War.

 

Shenon Parker Free to Preach
Thanks to the efforts of Mike Heath, Steve Whiting, and the faithful members of the Christian Civic League, Shenon Parker, missionary to Nicaragua, is free once again to preach without interference.

Parker had been warned that if he continued to preach in a public square in Bar Harbor, he would be thrown into jail. Today, after the intervention of the Christian Civic League he is free to preach!

We extend our humble thanks to Shenon Parker, a man who has devoted his life to the preaching of the Gospel and helping the poorest citizens of Nicaragua.
