The Culture of Accommodation - Todd Strandberg - http://www.raptureready.com/rap16.html
The recent student revolt at the University of Missouri shows how ridiculous the culture of accommodation has gotten in America. The outbursts started with claims of racism on campus and progressed to the point where the university's president, Tim Wolfe was forced to resign.
The question is how can this happen at a university that is listed as the 8th most liberal in the state? The answer is that there is no satisfying people that hold to a leftist ideology. The more you give into them; the more they want.
The University of Missouri has become a comedy of dysfunction by having a student go on hunger strike over health care costs, and the school's football team refusing to play because someone claimed to have seen a swastika made out of poop in a dorm bathroom. Furthering this method of fear mongering were reports of a car driving around with a Confederate flag. Strangely lacking is hard evidence of these alleged hate crimes. In the days of cell phone cameras, someone should have an image of these incidents.
You can't have an orderly society if a rumor of perceived racism is the only thing needed to trigger strife. Instead of quitting, President Wolf should have told the students they were acting like spoiled brats. Now that everyone will be required to go to advanced sensitivity training, we have one more reason to question the need for institutes of higher learning.
Political correctness is a system of thought that denies political pluralism. Under the PC culture, anyone claiming to be a minority can demand to be given special privileges. These added rights come at the expense of the majority.
One group given a massive amount of accommodation under political correctness are Muslims. A growing number of food companies are preparing their products to fit within the Islamic food code called Halal. I recently noticed a frozen food product at Wal-Mart that has the Halal seal of approval.
To qualify as Halal, the food must come from a supplier that uses special practices. The animal slaughtered must be done by a Muslim who invokes the name of Allah, most commonly by saying "Bismillah" ("In the name of God") and then three times repeating, "Allahu akbar" (God is the greatest). Then, the animal must be slaughtered with a sharp knife by cutting its throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck, causing the animal's death.
The animal rights loving left has shown no outrage over this Muslim technique of killing animals. Since they don't object to how Muslims treat homosexuals, women, and members of other faiths, the painful butchering of animals is a minor matter.
The one group that is always the victim of the accommodation police are Christians. Earlier this month, Michele Bachmann, a former congresswoman from Minnesota, made some remarks about prophecy on a radio program hosted by Tony Perkins, the founder of Family Research Council. The liberal media acted like Bachmann had just expressed her love for cannibalism. Here are the highlights of the interview:
This week really was about biblical prophecy in many ways, Mrs. Bachmann, said of her trip. And we're seeing as events are speeding up, events are speeding up so quickly right now, and we see how relevant the Bible is, and we're reading our newspaper, at the same time we're learning about these biblical events, and it's literally day by day by day, we're seeing the fulfillment of Scripture right in front of our eyes.
We recognize the shortness of the hour," she said, "and that's why we as a remnant want to be faithful in these days and do what it is that the Holy Spirit is speaking to each one of us, to be faithful in the Kingdom and to help bring in as many as we can -- even among the Jews--share Jesus Christ with everyone that we possibly can because, again, He's coming soon.
The reason why Bachmann is marginalized is because believers don't stand up for their rights. There are 90-100 million American evangelicals in this nation that share her end-time views. I doubt all these extremists on the left amounts to more than 20 people. They control society because we folks on the right are simply too timid.
The day is quickly coming were we will leave this world, and all these leftist wackos can squabble among themselves for their share of this sinking ship.
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).
