I’m Sick & Tired of Liberals!

          In an article titled “I’m Sick & Tired of Liberals!” written on July 6th, 2011, Bobby Eberle argues that he is strongly against the people who are banning others from saying a prayer with the words “God” or “Jesus”. Bobby Eberle is the president and CEO of both GOPUSA, a commentary and a news website. This article basically informs us that veterans are being told that they are not allowed to use the words “God” or “Jesus” during funeral prayers. Fox News reports, “ ‘Veterans in Houston say the Department of Veterans Affairs is consistently censoring their prayers by banning them from saying the words ‘God’ and ‘Jesus’ during funeral services at Houston National Cemeter’ . Not only that, the prayer needs to be submitted for review. Eberle is definitely against this issue, and I am strongly against it as well. This is not only morally wrong, but it seems that it is going against our constitution. Where did the “freedom of speech” and “freedom of religion” go? In addition, the Associated Press reported that there was a story in which liberal city councils have a hard time agreeing to say the Pledge before the meetings because it mentions God.  Eberle says that the government should not be telling people what they can and cannot say in their prayers. I also believe that people should be free to say whatever they want in their prayers. Banning people from saying “God” and “Jesus” is completely unconstitutional, and with about 80% of Americans identifying themselves as Christians, it seems so unreasonable to be prohibiting veterans to say that in their prayers. This act is completely outrageous, and as Eberle argues “We certainly live in crazy times, and the only way to fight back… is to fight back”.
