Another day… what’s next? Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee has launched a petition against Rush Limbaugh. This, to me, is amazing — ludicrous, really, in light of the fact that Barack Obama was given a free pass — unwavering acceptance and free coverage by the adoring press for the last 18 months or so.
This isn’t a Rush love-in — is not a blanket endorsement of Rush Limbaugh–sincerely, but is an encouragement to be mindful of treasured Constitutional rights. I offer this as an admonition to pay attention regarding the blessing of the rights of citizens of this free nation and further, if you think President Obama’s policies and proposals are in your best interest — the country’s best interest — they’re not. They’re not truly in your best interest, nor your children’s, nor your great-great grandchildren’s. Not only will the proposed policies have monstrously damaging results, this strike against or attempt at eliminating free speech or dissenting voices is fascism.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

All I have to say is we are to be the salt of the world.
Oh I can let this kind of thing bother me if I don’t keep reminding myself that God has allowed Obama to be President.
Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and other talk show hosts have been saying that shutting them up/out is what may eventually happen.
As Christians we know this is not our home, Heaven is. I am wondering how are we as Christians to react if at all. How does all of this play apart in the things to come.
Pamela,
Amen to that! People…..Christian people are being deceived! I don’t know what to make of this…I have a “Christian” woman who left me a comment on my blog chiding me for being too strong on him because of his stance on abortion! What is happening here? I don’t get it~ Freedom of speech, “reproductive rights”….what is happening here? Our country is going to pay the price for so many choosing to be complacent in their beliefs~ They have chosen a lie over the truth. I pray that God would wake up this country and put us on His path and not the one we are presently on.
Blessings,
Vikki
