Promoting First Amendment censorship | Letters | heraldandnews.com – Herald and News
Shirley Tipton's Friday, July 28 Herald and News letter, "Johnson Amendment needs to be kept alive", deeply disturbs bothers and angers me.
This letter is predicated upon blatant ignorance! Her letter in essence is not only promoting continuing government censorship of the First Amendment and free speech by targeting and censoring pastors, but likewise defends another career criminal politician from America's shameful past.
I previously alluded to this in my Sept. 27, 2016 letter, also to the Herald and News, titled: "Trump description would fit LBJ well."
question: why are the worse socialists in America ignorant, deluded self righteous senior citizens who blindly "suck up to the party line," continue to re-elect repeat offenders to both houses of Congress and state legislatures, and stubbornly embrace the almighty nanny state?
Perhaps the links listed below will help expose and rebuke the unconstitutional 1954 Johnson Amendment which rightly is government censorship. These include:
"How the Johnson Amendment Threatens Churches's Freedoms" by Michelle Terry
"Come Out of Hiding Pastors, Trump Has Set You Free", May 11, 2017 by Dave Daubenmire.
This along with other credible writers such as Devvy Kidd, Chuck Baldwin, etc. remain archived
"Lawmakers Have a Plan to Stop IRS From Censoring the Free Speech of Pastors" by Rachel del
guidice", October 4, 2016.
Need I continue on? Probably not. Again, after reading Shirley Tipton's letter "I got heated up
like the barrel jacket on a World War II German MG-42 machine gun!" Yet, the Bible states: "Be ye angry and sin not, do not let the sun go down on your wrath."
I attempt to channel my anger into civic activism.
