Church Stoops to New Patriotic Low
February 18, 2015
I often rail against churches putting up flags on their grounds on Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day, and July Fourth. I noticed that a church near my house stooped to a new patriotic low on Monday, putting up flags for Presidents Day. This is the first time I have ever seen or heard of a church doing this. Obviously, the pastor of the church never read Lew Rockwell’s “Down with the Presidency.” I forwarded the article to some pastors I know? Please do the same. It just might shock them into questioning their love for Republican presidents.
