"This case is so much bigger than a flag. It really involves whether the government can open a forum for a lot of different voices and then shut the door for Christian viewpoints." -Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel.

Over a 12-year period, the city of Boston received nearly 300 applications for that third flagpole. They approved all of them, except one.

"These include flags of individuals, say for example, Metro Credit Union, gay pride, Boston Pride, other causes, in addition to that, they also had individuals who would raise flags of their countries," said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel.

The sole rejection came in 2017 when an organization called Camp Constitution applied to raise a "Christian" flag and hold a one-hour ceremony in honor of Constitution Day.

"What they said was, while this was the first flag of a religious nature, they said that it would have been allowed to fly had it not been called 'Christian.' So the same flag had no problem to the city as long as you didn't call it something religious," Staver told CBN News.

Camp Constitution Director, Hal Shurtleff, sued the city, and now his case will be heard by the Supreme Court.

"This case is so much bigger than a flag. It really involves whether the government can open a forum for a lot of different voices and then shut the door for Christian viewpoints," Staver, the camp's counsel, explained.

Despite the fact that the city itself has referred to the flagpole as a "public forum," its attorneys are expected to argue this is a case of government speech. Meaning, the flagpole speaks for the city of Boston.

"That defies logic because Boston allows two competing Chinese organizations or individual groups to put opposite flags, both of the Chinese community, one pro-China, one anti-China, the other one pro-communism, the other one anti-communism," said Staver......




The article goes on to state that incredibly even the ACLU filed a brief supporting Camp Constitution and Biden admin also supports. o_O


:pray ing for common sense, constitutional decisions.

Sad to say the Christian foundation on which this country was built is now considered "out of place" to be spoken of or shown in any public venue. Yes this is unbelievably sad! Yet the consequences of denying such beliefs will hold an eternity of regrets for someone holding to such beliefs!! So VERY sad!!

I hear you friend.
It is sad. Very sad indeed.
However, glorious days await for those in Christ!
Our redemption draweth nigh.

The gay pride flag is a religious flag; it symbolizes devil worship. And they fly it proudly. So religious flags are not forbidden; only Christian flags are forbidden. Maybe they forbid some other religious flags too, but as long as they fly the flag of devil worship they have a double standard. Allowing the flag of devil worship to fly but not a Christian flag to fly is a sad commentary on the times in which we live. But when you see how deeply devil worshippers are entrenched into our various government bodies, including the government schools, this should be expected.

This is all based on the corruption of words the liberal cult uses to corrupt American law. They falsely claim that the First Amendment says government must be entirely separate from anything called religion, and then define Christianity as religion, but their own religious belief as not religion. This scam goes well beyond just this one case; it corrupts much of what our government does.
