Surge Summary: Whatever happens between now and January 20th, the discloure of a document that the Secular Democrats of America sent to the Joe Biden transition team makes clear their are elements within the Democratic party that intend a full assault against the Christian faith — and they have no plans to go anywhere in the future.

There are many well-meaning Americans who just want our politics to go back to a simpler time — when we agreed on fundamental issues and could compromise in the middle on minor issues.  Some people think Joe Biden represents a return to such a time.  But that’s not going to happen.

Donald Trump did not cause the divisions in America.  Trump was elected by half of America because of the divisions.  Our side chose him as a leader who would fight the left.  Those divisions won’t go away if Trump leaves public life, which I hope and pray he will not do.

While there are many fundamental issues that most Americans can agree on, it is the left that has come to despise much of what most Americans believe, especially on matters of faith.  And the left won’t stop attacking those values.

For example, we reported last week about a document that the Secular Democrats of America sent to the Biden transition team.  This document calls for an all-out assault on the values most Americans cherish.

• It accuses conservative Christians of providing “constant cover for white supremacy.”  That charge is utterly absurd, but it shows the left has no intention of compromising since no one could be expected to compromise with “white supremacy.”
• It calls on Biden to counter “inaccurate and revisionist messaging around our nation’s founding.”  In other words, it wants Biden to embrace the inaccurate and revisionist messaging of the 1619 Project.
• It denounces the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision that defended the religious liberty of private institutions from government intrusion.
• It demands the repeal of the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which passed the Senate 97 to 3.  Think about that for a second!
• It calls on Biden to “dismantle” the Religious Liberty Task Force at the Justice Department and the Religious Freedom Division at the Department of Health and Human Services.
• It demands that “religious schools be required to teach curricula in accordance with national secular standards.”
• It demands that faith-based organizations lose federal tax dollars if they adhere to their religious principles.
• It demands that states be forced to repeal “all nonmedical (religious) exemptions to mandatory vaccinations.”
• It demands the repeal of restrictions on federally funded fetal-tissue research.
• It demands the appointment of an attorney general who will support emergency COVID declarations targeting houses of worship.
• It demands that the IRS resume enforcement of the Johnson Amendment and that Congress “pass legislation that would strengthen enforcement of the Johnson Amendment.”  In other words, more IRS meddling in churches to further muzzle our pastors.
• It demands the appointment of “humanist and nontheist” military chaplains.
• It demands the repeal of our national motto, “In God We Trust,” and urges Biden to avoid the phrase “Judeo-Christian values.”

This is what we are fighting against, my friends.  No matter what happens on January 20, the radical left’s assault on our cherished values will continue.
