Charles Barkley and media bias against Christians
By Paul Craft
Yesterday the words from Charles Barkley got a pass from the mainstream media. Barkley who likes to talk, but knows little charged that all conservatives are fake Christians. He said that anyone who is against abortion or gay marriage is a fake Christian. Barkley made these statements on CNN with Wolf Blitzer.
A representative of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission said, "for Barkley to think that Christians cannot have an opinion about matters of public policy and personal morality is astonishing," said Cass. "Jesus forbids judging by hypocritical double standards, but he requires Christians to make just and sound judgments everyday according to biblical precepts." Barkley is obviously out of touch with mainstream America. Barkley like all the great Liberal thinkers feels his way of thinking should be held by all Americans. Barkley like the rest of his friends on the Left feel they are the true genuine thinkers while conservatives are fake Christians. To further show the point that Barkley is truly out of touch with the people in his own home state of Alabama he announced on CNN that he was running for governor of Alabama in 2014. It is quite obvious that Barkley has been away to long or he would realize that Alabama is one of the most conservative states in America. In affect Barkley called most of the great citizens of Alabama fake Christians. What are the chances that the people of Alabama would elect a man such as Barkley?
I failed in my attempt to find some news articles addressing Barkley's anti-Christian comments. The mainstream media just reported the fact that Barkley wants to run for governor of Alabama, but failed to mention the "fake Christians" comment. But I guess I should not be surprised.
