What conservatives have continually said is that although many Republicans do not uphold conservative or Christian values, the Democrat Party is, on an official basis, openly and thoroughly hostile to such things.
It is ludicrous to suggest that a party, which embraces every element of the counterculture from sexual perversion to the slaughter of the unborn to a view of "spirituality" that lauds any and every religious concept with the sole exception of the Christian worldview, can somehow be considered a haven for devout Christians.
For Thomas to imply as much, even in as indirect of a manner as he does, is to aid and abet proponents of those ideologies in their efforts to undermine and destroy the Christian heritage of America.
His timing particularly appalling since Republican "moderate" Rudy Giuliani is likewise working hard to reach this same conclusion, albeit by approaching the argument from the opposite end of the political spectrum. If Thomas helps Giuliani succeed in blurring these lines, the only beneficiary will be the party of Obama.
Ultimately, Thomas attempts to make a case that religion and patriotism, from the leftist perspective are on an equal par with that of conservative America. Yet what he apparently does not recognize, or perhaps does not want to consider, is that when both high and low standards are accepted on an equal basis, only the low will prevail.
Such is the morass into which he stumbles, as he tries to denigrate traditional values by drawing comparisons between them and Nazism. But if Thomas is going to invoke the words of Herman Goering in order to make his case, he should check out the eighth chapter of William Shirer's monumental work "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."
There he will find that in their efforts to reorder the German culture, Goering and his kind were enabled in large part by a "church" that had gladly abdicated any role in differentiating between such things as spiritual or unspiritual, patriotic or unpatriotic, and eventually, good or evil.
Germany's multifaceted and fractured "church" helped dispel any clear understanding of Biblical absolutes, whereby the time honored definitions of faith, patriotism, and even "right and wrong," had been upheld. In its place, the Reich stood ready to forcibly substitute its own warped and poisoned version of such things to a pliable population.
In their attempted defense, the common cry of liberals, now with help of such as Thomas, is that government "cannot legislate morality." But does he dare deny that, as a result of the legislated efforts of liberals (good religious patriots all), a climate of immorality has been imposed upon America which visits immeasurable suffering on helpless victims and from which the nation may never recover?
From "hate crimes" (thought control) legislation to "sensitivity training," to Madalyn Murray O'Hare's conversion of public schools into temples of secularism, America now suffers innumerable social plagues, as a result of mandated and legislated immorality from liberals, aided and abetted by a church community that is increasingly indifferent and morally confused.
