Christians Oppressed In Most Christian State In The Country
"Lawmakers approved a request by
Mississippi Gov.
Phil Bryant to add "
In God We Trust" to the state seal.
The Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act passed the state
Senate 48-0 on Friday, with four senators absent, and moves on to the
House of Representatives for more work.
The bill's chief sponsor,
Republican Sen.
Phillip Gandy, said the measure is intended to address the perception by some Christians that their right to practice religion is being inhibited by the government, although he admitted he hadn't heard of any examples of the state doing so.
"
Times are changing, and Christians are afraid of a lot of different things, and some of that is reality, possibly, and some is perception," said Gandy, who is also minister of
Liberty Baptist Church in Waynesboro. "But we want to do what we can.""*

The Young Turks (
Winner -
Best Political Podcast & Best Political News
Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on
Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest
with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
