Constitutional Ignorance
There are people today in our country who have no idea of the principles set up by our founding fathers in the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. This week alone there have been two different mainstream issues that have brought criticism from anti-religious groups. The first that has really bugged me is the Tim Tebow Super Bowl Ad. Pro-abortion groups have come against CBS for selling the time slot to Focus on the Family because of the pro-life content of the ad. Like they have any reason to protest any pro-family content… they definitely don’t have any justification to remove the ad; it is not in any way a violation of law. The second issue this week has been the Mother Teresa stamp from the United States Postal Service. The very confused, Freedom From Religion Foundation group has stated that this is a violation of federal law because the Untied States Government cannot honorĀ ”individuals whose principal achievements are associated with religious undertakings…” WHAT??!! It is easy to see that these people know very little about our governmental system and the history associated with it. It is truly sad when those who say they are in favor of tolerance and respect seem to tolerate none with a different belief. Sadly we have been raising a generation who “knows not Joseph,” and doesn’t understand very much about our true American Heritage.
