"Knowing
therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in
your consciences."
2 Corinthians 5:11
"Since the tragic and despicable terrorist attack upon America,
September 11, 2001, there has been much talk about `homeland' defense. I
am all for homeland defense against America's foreign enemies. A strong,
constitutional policy of homeland defense, including secure borders, a
strong military, and a sane immigration policy, is long over due. However,
there is another homeland defense that has been long neglected and, in
fact, has been badly weakened and almost destroyed by our government. Our homeland has become a haunt for individuals who promote perverse
sexual acts, shed innocent blood by abortion, and assault the innocence of
children through pornography and `adult entertainment.' Here in Wisconsin,
citizens have been forced to pay for a nude beach where hundreds of
sexually perverse individuals cavort naked every weekend in full view of
the public who use the Wisconsin River. As has been documented, many
children, like the girl pictured in this news release, are routinely taken
to that beach and displayed naked while in turn being exposed to naked
adults, many of whom have been seen taking cameras with them to the beach.
In the past, WCU Christians have many times successfully, physically
blocked children from being taken to the beach; but those saved from the
abuse and defilement of that place have only been a tiny fraction of the
number taken there over the course of a summer.
"If our state and nation continue to neglect the
defense of morality rooted in biblical absolutes, if state and national
officials continue to neglect the defense of the weak and innocent, then
there will be no long-term victory in the defense of America's homeland
from foreign terrorists any more than there will be a turning away of
God's wrath which is surely upon this nation for her sins against Him.
"Today, Wisconsin Christians United will once
again be on the parking lot and walk-way leading to the state nude beach
at Mazomanie, Wisconsin. We will once again testify against that lewd,
crude, despicable place. We will once again speak on behalf of the
children being abused there. We will once again preach the gospel of Jesus
Christ with those with whom we come in contact. In short, we will be about
serving our Lord even as we defend innocent children and the homeland we
love. Of course, once again the nudists will hurl abusive language at us
and perhaps once again assault some of us. No doubt the Department of
Natural Resources law enforcement personnel will once again turn a blind
eye to the unlawful acts of the nudists and the plight of the children of
Mazo beach while at the same time treating us with contempt and looking
for excuses to arrest some of us. So be it; our homeland needs
defending."
