The Liberty Counsel Hates America
In my ongoing campaign to expose those who are hard at work perverting American history to convince you that Christianity is under attack and that you are unpatriotic, I bring you:
Can we question their piousness now?
Liberty Counsel is a legal organization dedicated to advancing its organizers' conceptions of religious freedom the sanctity of human life and the traditional family. The organization, which describes itself as a "ministry," is headed by attorney Mathew Staver, who is associated with the right side of the political spectrum, and once claimed during a television interview in CSPAN (August 10, 2005) that he was a close personal friend of Rev. Jerry Falwell.Their current liberation program? The Friend or Foe Campaign which yes, is at the bottom of the current boycott of Target for not using "Merry Christmas" in their Holiday advertising. Where do you think Jesus would stand on adding insult to injury--politicizing a religious holiday that for at least 40 years has been secularized into a golden cash cow?
Some feel that Liberty Counsel is an organization intent on eroding the separation of church and state and they feel that Liberty Counsel considers religious freedom to mean the freedom of religion to dominate, as many of the group's statements imply that anything less than active bias for Christianity amounts to bias against Christianity. Others also feel that the Liberty Counsel is only interested in furthering religious freedom as it pertains to Christianity.
The Liberty Counsel and their supporters, however, believe that "separation of church and state" is neither in the law of the United States, nor is it being interpereted correctly with context to the laws that do exist concerning religious freedom. They feel that the courts, by misinterpereting these laws, have been infringing on religious freedoms.
