Freedom of Speech

Here's a topic I have been wanting to blog about. America land of the free and home of the brave. Unless you're politically incorrect! Freedom of speech, what does this mean? In the ENGLISH language it should mean we are free to say whatever we want. Of course there are exceptions like don't yell fire in a movie theater or no to your mom. However, the not so lite hearted subject I am talking about is Christians expressing their beliefs in a public forum. This has become the number one taboo in our school systems, government, and on the job. Why is it that the ku klux klan can demonstrate in the middle of down town under freedom of speech laws and have police protection?
Christians are just about crucified if they run for office. They get third degreed until they give up like that supreme court justice nominee by our President. Christians get fired from their jobs or have rules changed if they wear a hat with the name 'Jesus' on it. Since when? This country was founded for religious freedom and freedom of speech. You ever read any of the original documents written back then? God was consistently mentioned for the position He holds over this country. The Bible was a textbook in school!! Obviously, Jesus in a threat to the sinner's ego and conscience. Just as God calls us to hate sin, the sinner hates righteousness.
I am writing about a local lady that is a victim for expressing her God given right to free speech in an open forum on a local newspaper as a private citizen. Her name is Crystal Dixon. She was fired from her job for expressing her private opinion outside of work. She worked for the University of Toledo Graduate School. What a shame that she could not have her own opinion away from her position at work! She has started her own campaign to fight this. This story has made it on the Rush Limbaugh show, Washington Watch Radio (Family Research Council), and many Newspaper, radio, and tv medias. Her cause is one to watch. To go to her website click here. You can read all about her, read the article that caused all this, and you can even get her to speak at an event (she's an inspirational/motivational speaker). You can even help financially to fight this injustice. Give Crystal some prayers she needs help from above to take on this ungodly system. Crystal, you go girl! You got God on your side and plenty of Christians wanting to see you win!
