A judge has ruled against the raising of the Christian flag over a city building, despite the pole being reserved for non-US, private flags. World Net Daily reports:
Judge Denise Casper has ruled against a Christian’s access to a program that routinely hoists privately owned flags over a city building, concluding other other flags are acceptable because they’re not religious.
Among the approved flags are the LGBT banner the national flags of Albania, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil and China.
But Liberty Counsel said that when Hal Shurtleff and his civic group, Camp Constitution, requested to fly the Christian flag, they were refused.
The legal team explained the city’s written permit guidelines promise the public “to accommodate all applicants seeking to take advantage of the city of Boston’s public forums,” referring to the flag pole as a “public forum.”
While a Christian flag is banned, communist flags like Cuba and China are allowed.
You made a few nice points there. I did a search on the theme and found a good number of persons will agree with your blog.
The subsequent time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to read, but I actually thought youd have something attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you might fix when you werent too busy on the lookout for attention.
To am avowed and dedicated Communist, Communism is a religion that replaces all other religions so work out a solution from that starting point.
We can fly a communist flag in AMERICA, yet we are not a communist country; we can not flay the Christian flag but are known as a Christian country, how stupid is this ? Another way to strip America of her RIGHTS, Liberty, Justice. Many Americans are offended by this.
The Liberals are our greatest enemy, they are destroying the American way of life., our FREEDOM! WAY OF LIFE, The LIBERALS want OPEN BORDER. they want drugs and crime to control our NATION, this is criminally insane, The LIBERALS want SANCTUARY CITIES TO PROTECT THE ILLEGEAL IMMIGRANTS AND CRIMINALS . The ANTI-AMERICAN and LIBERALS advocates the use VIOLENCE (Maxine Waters & the BLACK Caucus and other LIBERALS) to us tells they ARE LAWLESS CRIMINALS and want POWER to control AMERICANS and even others, most Liberals and Anti-Americans are of the socialistic/communist nature! I BELIEVE WE CAN TAKE OUR AMERIA BACK FROM THESE CRIMINAL LIBERALS/SOCIALIST/COMMNISIT/ ANTI-AMERICANS VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE, REMOVE THEIR PROGRAMS BY DEFUNDING THEM BOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER.
The Constitution says the state shall not establish a state religion. This idea, law, is quite different than the idea of separation of church and state. Separation means someone has to determine what is separation. Like who, when, were, how etc,. needs to be separated. And the govt assumes this power as per this flag decision. , Not establishing a stae religion means the govt can’t support any religion, Can’t give hem tax money, can’t appoint religious leaders, etc.. A christian flag flying over a state building does not constitute ownership anymore that flying n American flag on church property. That does not mean the state owns the property or an individual’s house if a flay is displayed there. Thus a long line of decisions based on separation are essentially illegal.
If the state “can’t appoint religious leaders,” why is it ok for the state to appoint a military chaplain?
The level of hypocrisy is mind-blowing. By the way, nowhere in the Constitution does the phrase “separation of church and state” exist. It is an inference created out of the penumbra of the First Amendment. As you say, there’s quite a leap between proscribing the establishment of a state religion (as exists in country from which the Framers sought independence, and to prevent such an establishment in the USA), and trying to shut down any and all expressions of faith.
AND YOU SAY THAT AMERICA’S GREATEST ENEMY IS PUTIN?!?!?!
WRONG! WRONG!! WRONG! THE LIBERALS ARE AMERICA’S GREATEST ENEMY!! THE LIBERALS ARE DESTROYING THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE, THEIR FREEDOM!!
FACE THE FACTS PEOPLE!! The FACT that the LIBERALS want OPEN BORDERS TELLS ME THAT THEY WANT DRUGS AND CRIME TO RULE AMERICA! I call that CRIMINAL!! The FACT that the LIBERALS WANT SANCTUARY CITIES TO PROTECT THE CRIMINALS shows me that LIBERALS ARE CRIMINALS!! The FACT that LIBERALS advocate the use of VIOLENCE (Maxine Waters & the BLACK Caucus and other LIBERALS) tells me that they ARE LAWLESS CRIMINALS! And I can fill pages with examples of the LIBERAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES AND BEHAVIOR!!
Replace liberals with jews and your comment is spot on
Notwithstanding that most Jews are liberals, Jews do NOT advocate violence. Using a forum on banning of a flag to display your anti-Semitic rhetoric is shameful!
Please note the the liberal Jews are the non-obervant ones. Religious Jews tend to be more conservative.
Also they have no problems with Christians practicing Christianity… It’s the secular Jews (with or without quotation marks) who so hate their religion that they’re against Christianity, too.
No, you are in the first group mentioned Liberal because a Conservative would never have made that statement , you are anti-Semetic and that is criminal as well.
Oy vey! How dare you criticize gods chosen peoples! That’s a crime you goy! Wheres my kippa?
You are so right. Only thing is we have too many dumb Americans who don’t care….all they want is to be assured of their “free stuff” and to hell with everything else. In Europe they are always discussing politics in the bars, restaurants and public places….in America the talk is “who’s the broad with the big tits or that one has a nice ass”. And we’re supposed to be the greatest country in the world?????
Gilbert is so totally correct. Once upon a time not too many years ago for me to remember, Democrats USED TO BE PATRIOTIC AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!
Truth be known, In FACT many private citizens still are, but the leadership and other radicals have become NOT LIBERAL, but 1920s Soviet Style Communist with a liking for the hate-filled Muslim so-called religion which, in the truest sense is not a valid religion but a BRUTAL Barbarian political entity pursuing totally ANTI CONSTITUTIONAL goals that ORDER “Honor Killing” of family members that do not support “Jihad” violence, Genital Mutilation for certain disobedience issues, No protection of women and children against brutal Muslim men, destruction of memorials and monuments not in keeping with their “religion”. HONORABLE People, WE MUST ALL PRAY AND REPENT to Almighty God, or already vanishing freedoms in America will become non-existant before you know it.
In the words of Ronald Reagan-“If we lose our Christianity we will lose our Country.”
I greed with President Reagan!
Never vote for a liberal democrat if you love this country! Yes, thank God for President Trump!!
Liberal progressive democrats are a clear and present danger to America and our way of life.
THANK GOD FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP !!
VOTE ALL DEMO-RATS OUT FROM MASSACHUSETTS .. VOTE RED RED RED …
That whole left coast and the New England coast are communist Democrats. What do you expect?
Not all of us. 4th generation California conservative (my kids are 5th gen). We fight where we can but have no help from other “countries” the way Europe and the Philippines did in WW2, or South Korea had during the Korean War, Vietnam had, or even Russia had during WW2. We who are conservatives who still believe in the nation or Founders created and left us feel we have been invaded by socialists and communists who have received direct aid from the US Congress, several presidents, and, most of all, the Supreme Court.
Banned in Boston. I love it. How far the city of the Pilgrims has fallen.
Why is anyone surprised by this. Massachu8setts is a communist state. A basic premise of communism is that religion must be destroyed so that communism can flourish. If the flagpole is a “public forum” then banning the Christian flag is content discrimination. Let’s watch and see if the ISIS or Islamic flags are similarly banned.
Boston is also the City, where they are keeping a Muslim Terrorist as a Guest
of Boston & also, Boston plays Host to the Terrorist’s Miserable Muslim Family.
So a Judge would not deliberate a second to refuse a Christian Flag,
being flown over the City of Boston.
If I see a person carrying a communist flag I will attack him with extream prejudice. I may go to jail but I will feel good inside for doing that. I am an American patriot. My father fought for our country and for our God Jesus.
Daniel..I agree 100%. God bless your father and all our service men and women, past and present. What the heck is happening to this once strong Christian Country, that had fierce moral values? Why are we letting these 20%, at the most, lowlife part of our society, have a voice and ruin our Country for the rest of the 80% of us? Where is the pushback? Conservatives fight back!! Be heard!! Get the garbage off the streets and put them
back into their holes from where they came, thanks to that POS Obama and his puppet master Soros who gave them a voice, for another 50 years!!! We don’t care what they have to say!!! We have got to get crooked Obama judges off the benches. Tired of judges making up their own laws. So sick of weird immoral people having their voices heard all over the news..at the same time, good sane people of this Country, their voices are being censored and gagged. Time to stand and fight and be heard. We will not let this Country go to the dogs!! They WILL lose! They’d better not try us!!
Great reply!
Lori, I appreciate your post and I am on your side. When I run up against these Dem Wits questioning Christianity, I ask them, “Which of Christ’s teaching do you disagree with?” They have no answer to the question. I am not a regular church goer. I was raised in the Christian Church and believe in Christ’s teachings. Our great country was built on the Christian religion and the work ethic it prescribes. What has happened to the Democratic party? I will never vote Democrat again.
i would do the same Brother.
and PROUDLY SO.
Indeed, we need to stop this and restore the United States of America, a Nation founded on the Christian religion. The good graces and accommodations of the Christian religion have allowed its enemies to take advantage of those attributes at the peril of the Christian religion. Time for that old crap to end.
I bet this judge would let the Church of Satan flag and the ISIS flag fly too.
Remember, it isn’t the hatred of us that they have. It is the hatred of God and his son that they have.
Their hatred for anything associated with Christ will be their undoing upon their Day of Judgement. They have all forgotten that Almighty God the Father is sovereign and loves His Son, Christ Jesus, above all else. He has the power to do anything He deems righteous. They will eternally beg for mercy as the flames of hell tear at their souls.
Please God, for your glory, send your Holy Spirit to turn their wicked hearts away from these acts against your Son, our King, Jesus the Christ. Amen.
CHRISTIANITY HAS BEEN SILENCED A LONG TIME AGO BY THE DEMOCRAT COMMUNISTS. WE USED TO PRAY BUT THEN WE WERE PREYED UPON. THE COMMUNISTS USED OUR COMPASSION AND FAIRNESS TO DESTROY US. THEY SAID NOT EVERYONE IS CHRISTIAN AND SOME PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED BY PRAYERS. LET US HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE AND EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY. THEN THEY PUT THE MUZZLE ON AMERICA. WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE SAID . LET’S HAVE TWO MOMENTS. ONE OF COMMUNIST SILENCE AND ONE OF HALLELUIA PRAYER.. SINGING HYMNS COUNT AS TWO PRAYERS. LIKE THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC.. LET US HAVE TWO MOMENTS FROM NOW ON. MR PRESIDENT WOULD YOU LEAD US IN A PRAYER FOR THE COUNTRY?

It does seem that the SCOTUS has ruled several times on display
of any Religious display on or around Government Buildings,
and the Constitution o0f the USA prohibits the Government from
supporting any Religion in any way. Why would this not be the
case when the Founders of this Country were not Christian in
any way, there were in majority Deist and did not like Christianity
http://www.worldfuturefund.org/wffmaster/Reading/Religion/Jefferson.htm
The fact being that Jefferson like many of the founders celebrated
the religious holidays with many different Religions including
the Muslims, as they all said this is a Freedom of religion Country
where all are free to practice their religion without interference.
In todays society according to the 2010 census only about 35% say
they are into religion in any way and that included all religions,
why do you think so many churches are closed or in disrepair and
Congregations are so small. It is a fact that the majority in all
Countries throughout the World are tired of the religious running
their lives, and want the freedom to make their own mistakes.
Robert – open a text book, PLEASE! The Founders of our country were not Christians? REALLY? True, they varied from Protestants, to Lutherans, to Anglicans, to Presbytarians, but were all Christians.
Most were baptized, affiliated with Christian churches, married practicing Christians, and attended services of Christian worship. In fact, the United States Capitol regularly served as a church building; a practice that began even before Congress officially moved into the building and lasted until well after the Civil War.
Widespread existence of Deism did not occur until the 18th-century.
Just because you and others choose to deny Almighty God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit does NOT mean they aren’t real – as all eventually find out, usually at their demise.
NO Jefferson didn’t celebrate the muslims. The only reason he had a Koran was when the Barbary Pirates were raiding our ships and he wanted to find out about them. And hell NO our Founder were not Deists. Scholarship has determined that of the 56 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention only 3 were Deists. And that includes Benjamin Franklin who, while he may have been a Deist in his youth, was certainly not by the time of the American Revolution. You are being propagandized by atheists and are left being ignorant.
In fact, while Jefferson was still alive, he heard rumblings that he was not a Christian, and he came out and proclaimed that he was a Christian.
The Constitution says the state shall not establish a state religion. This idea, law, is quite different than the idea of separation of church and state. Separation means someone has to determine what is separation. Like who, when, were, how etc,. needs to be separated.

No one should be surprised, just look at what some of our leaders say about Christains.
The liberal Democratic Party don’t want God mention, credited with creating anything, and certainly don’t want a Christian flag. But it explains why there is a Highway to Hell but only a stairway to Heaven. The Lord is set up for these traffic patterns.
Why don’t they fly a liberal communist flag that’s what there trying to change this country into. Thank God for trump
Again, Thank God for President Trump.
I second that motion, Mona!
Remember when the Democrat’s voted ‘Three Times’ for God to be Out of their Meetings…
The democommies voted three times as to whether they wanted God included in their Planks at their National Convention. The first two were decidedly NO, and the third one was too, but the one’s on stage calling for the voice vote went ahead and said: the yeses have it.. but anyone listening could tell it was still NO. And also at another Democommie National Convention they Booed the Boy Scouts who were acting as a Color Guard at their Convention. The democommie party has become profoundly anti-American and communist.
I agree with Rob!! President Trump has been the greatest thing that has happened to the USA in the last 20 years!!!
That’s why they are trying to impeach him. If they succeed then it’s 1775 again and the liberals will wish they were living in another Country.
Actually not communist (a political system) so much as socialism (an economic system). Neither work but tell a liberal that. Democrats could lose power under communism and they don’t want that.
It’s communism. Communism is an economic system (socialism) and a political system (marxism).
