Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

The Curiosity Klatch

Scott Pfitzinger 2d ago

The theme of tomorrow's publicly funded Christian Nationalist event on the Washington Mall is really "Rededicating America to Christianity."

Religious Freedom for All means ALL. Everyone! Not making laws to force everyone to live as if they were Christian. 38% of America is not Christian and even more claim the title of "Christian" but are not active, taking the name but not the beliefs or lifestyle.

Religious Freedom for All does not mean making the USA a theocracy. It means letting people believe what they want and letting them live their lives their own way.
