Government Hostility Towards People of Faith
Many here and elsewhere say that Christians are not being discriminated against by federal, state and local governments; But, it is happening every day all over the country in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
#1: A lawsuit has been filed against the city of Wichita, Kan., and several of its police officers on behalf of a Christian pastor arrested just for being on public property. Holick’s arrest happened last summer when a homosexual festival was being held in a public park in Wichita. He went to share his Christian faith on public property, and it took only a little longer than three minutes after his arrival for police officers to arrest him.
#2: In Elmira, N.Y., police arrested seven Christians who went into a public park where a “gay” fest was beginning and started to pray, faces down, while holding their Bibles. They were cited for “disturbing the peace,”
#3: Another case developed when police in St. Petersburg, Fla., arrested five Christians for carrying signs “wider than their torsos” outside an officially designated protest area at that city’s homosexual festival. St. Petersburg officials, following disturbances at a previous homosexual pride festival, implemented rules governing outdoor events that set aside “free speech zones” where protesters are allowed.

If we all do not protest infringements of Free Speech and Freedom of Religious Worship, what is to keep these Nazi’s from coming after you for posting or commenting here? Free Political Speech means just that, no matter how repugnant, every citizen absent inciting or engaging in acts of violence must be allowed unfettered access to the public square.
