We’ll Second That!
At the Heritage Foundation, Ryan Messmore and Thomas Messner have posted an open memo to President-elect Barack Obama. They offer him three strong suggestions regarding the proterction of religious freedom in the United States. We especially like this one:
Call on all citizens to respect the ability of religious citizens to participate in public policy debates–including debates about marriage–without fear of intimidation and reprisal. You correctly stated that it would be a “practical absurdity” for Americans not to “inject their ‘personal morality’ into public policy debates.”[22] Regrettably, there are many in America who express contempt and disdain toward those who bring their faith to bear on their politics. That attitude can encourage a climate of hostility and intimidation.
Amen to that!
