DOJ Says Feds Can Tell Church Who It's Ministers Will Be

"In yet another stunning attack on freedom of religion, President Barack Obama’s Justice Department asked the Supreme Court last week to give the federal government the power to tell a church who its ministers will be.

The case involves a former teacher at Lutheran school, who along with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is pushing a claim that a Lutheran congregation should be forced to restore her ministry position.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State and American Atheists, Inc. have filed briefs siding with the Obama administration against the church.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations, and the American Center for Law and Justice are among those who have filed briefs supporting the Lutherans."

People need to start telling tyrants of all stripes where to go and start defying these fascist Christian-hating punks openly and forcefully!
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

On most days these idiots make that eventuality appear much closer on the horizon.

They better start bringing their yippy little puppies to heel...or they'll all get ground up and spit out.

This progression toward tyranny will not stop until its "agents of change" fear for the consequences of what they are doing.
