That’s more like it! Rios tells #VVS14 that “the Muslim Brotherhood has deeply infiltrated our government.”

Apparently it is up to “citizen journalists” like Ryan Bomberger to tell the truth, because actual journalists don’t fear God.

Glenn Beck: We could burn every school book, you can learn everything you need in the Bible!

Congressman Jim Bridenstein (R-OK) “Absolutely nowhere in the constitution or the 1st Amendment is there separation of church and state.” He also says that if we remove the word ‘god’ from the pledge of allegiance, it would officially establish Atheism as the national religion.
Liberty Institute Session:
Liberty Inst says they work in 4 different areas: public arena, schools, churches, the military. They say that religious liberty has nothing to do with individual rights, but about the right of churches and pastors to “expand outside of the walls of the church.”
Liberty Institute is really leaning on the rules that pastors cannot give religious sermons at public school graduations. According to these Christian Right groups, their own religious liberty is violated if they are not allowed to preach to non-Christian students were are required to be sitting in the audience.
Liberty Institute says they are “winning” the battle of Religious Liberty. Sadly, that’s very very true. The Left has yet to figure out how to truly speak to the truth about Religious Liberty
