American Progressives Roll Out the Guillotine

American Progressives want to roll out the guillotine on anyone who disagrees with them. They have a lot in common with the French revolutionaries of 1789. Many innocents lost their heads because of the rabid populace who came to hate not only their fellow countryman, but God as well. The Left of today has an anti-Christian zeal that is reminiscent of those dark days of the terror:


But the most unruly demonstrations of dechristianizing zeal probably happened more or less spontaneously. When a regiment of the army, two thousand strong, arrived at Aurexxe en route to Lyon, for example, the cannoneers smashed in the church doors and mutilated images and statues of saints. A crucifix was taken from the chapel of Mary and paraded about upside down for citizens to spit on. When a local quarryman refused to do this, one of the soldiers cut off a part of his nose with his saber.

The ACLU is in the forefront of banning Christianity in the public square. The French had a version of these zealots as well:

More orderly forms of dechristianization were provided by such representanats-en-mission as the ex-Oratorian priest Fouche, who undertook a particularly enthusiastic campaign in the Nievre, where he stripped cemeteries of all religious symbols and posted on the gates his famous dictum “Death is but an eternal sleep.”

Kind of reminds you of Barry Lynn don’t it?

The French Revolutionaries and today’s environmentalist also have something in common. They used nature as a new form of religion. The French appointed a commission to replace the Gregorian calendar with its references to the Saints, to a more desirous one that separated republicans from the “superstitions” of the Church:

In keeping with the cult of nature, the twelve months were to be named not just after the changing weather (as experienced in northern and central France) but in poetic evocations of the agricultural year.


Each object listed in this calendrical veneration of nature was, Fabre said, “more precious in the eyes of reason than some skeletons found in the catacombs of Rome.”

Are American Progressives capable of the atrocities that happened during the French Reign of Terror? They have too much in common for my liking.
