As this editor has argued, "Christian nationalist" is the new "white supremacist." "White supremacist" lost all meaning from progressives using it to describe everyone they disagreed with. Not believing in man-made climate change was white supremacist.
The term lost its bite, so progressives had to come up with a new epithet, and they settled on Christian nationalist, citing Christians like Speaker Mike Johnson as evidence that they were taking over the country.
This editor has yet to hear a convincing, consistent definition of Christian nationalist, but POLITICO's Heidi Przbyla went on MSNBC to define it for us. Christian nationalists — not all Christians, mind you — have one thing in common: they believe that bit about man being endowed with certain inalienable rights granted by their creator. Przbyla says they believe rights come from God and not any earthly authority — not Congress, not the Supreme Court.
And they're right.
President Barack Obama was a big believer that the government granted people their rights. Conservatives — not just Christian nationalists — believe that our founding documents prevent the government from taking away our rights.
Which is exactly why The United States Constitution so clearly states, over and over again, that our rights are sacrosanct and government is the one LIMITED in its ability to restrict us. The Founding Fathers well understood that government is a necessary EVIL, so the citizens need to be protected from treasonous assholes like lil' Barry Soetoro.

A: "Christian nationalists" aren't the only ones that think this..
B: It's in the Declaration of Independence, and
C: It's actually true.
Spock The Ripper (More Equal Animals) (@CrimsonPKing) ~ I learned this in 3rd grade. It is the entire point of the Constitution.
Secure Life Homes (@securelifehomes) ~ Yes. Its literally what the Declaration of Independence says.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."
Eunoia Sterling (@EunoiaSterling) ~ It literally says it in the Declaration of Independence. Does she realize that this was the basis for women’s suffrage? Has she read the Declaration of the Rights of women at the Seneca Falls convention? This one principle is the foundation of every civil rights achievement.
RetiredPublius (@ProffesorPubli1) ~ Inalienable rights come from God. Oppression comes from government. Choose wisely which side to support!
So if not for Christian nationalists, we'd properly believe that the right to life and liberty comes from the government ... and that the government would be able to take those rights away?!
So, if you're a "good" Christian and not a "Christian Nationalist," then you believe our inalienable rights come from Congress?
