We’ve seen people exercise their right to free speech at football games, at town hall meetings, public forums, outside of the governor’s mansion, and even on Interstate 94 while blocking traffic (it is illegal to block traffic on a federal highway, unless in times of an accident or emergency). Sometimes people say things without thinking about what they are going to say when they say it. Sometimes people bring up those, “lack of judgment,” moments during a Political debate 11 years after they happened. You never know when someone is listening these days.
Sometimes it is on the public record as the following video was taken by C-SPAN a number of years ago.
The problem here if you read the comments below the video on YouTube is that people say that if she is an atheist it would be okay for Betty McCollum to do as she did. She claims to be a Roman Catholic. Though she has expunged from her biography on her Congressional website any mention of her faith. Because it was a campaign year in 2010 when this video came out she quickly posted a response.
This year is a pivotal year for Religious Liberty. Business people who exercise their 1st amendment right to religious expression and to practice their faith without government intrusion are seeing their businesses destroyed and their reputations tarnished because of Government programs like Obamacare forcing faith institutions to pay for abortions. If one believes that same-sex marriage is wrong according to ones’ faith (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism the major faiths all believe LGBTQF is wrong and not encouraged) the government is poised with their special interest groups to destroy you and your livelihood.
Betty McCollum is not a Christian and this video proves it. Another chunk of proof is Betty McCollum’s belief in “death on demand” also known as abortion on demand. McCollum is a NARAL representative in Congress. She has voted perfectly for NARAL bills. NARAL has endorsed Keith Ellison (CD5), Tim Walz (CD1), Rick Nolan (CD8) and Betty McCollum (CD4), and Angie Craig (CD2) according to the NARAL July 2016 endorsement.
One might say that she is exercising her right to not talk about her faith in public. Yet if you read the Bible it says one needs to share their faith in God with others as Matthew 10: 32-33 says.
“Whoever, then, acknowledges me before people, I will acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever denies me before people, I will deny him also before my Father in heaven.“~~Matthew 10: 32-33 (New English Translation)
So she has a public office which allows for speeches about just about anything and she chooses NARAL over God. Her Christian Coat has been on the coat rack for too long.
It is always telling the response is on a video by reading the comments below it. On the YouTube video above, some of the comments mention the separation of church and state. No where in our Organic documents is this term or its legalese equivalent does it mention a separation of church and state.
It’s odd that NARAL is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization but they always get away with siding with the politically left in this country. They never seem to get scrutiny under the Johnson Amendment that gags non-profits from speaking their politics. Perhaps they should.
Remember Betty McCollum represents NARAL every chance she gets and disrespects Catholics and other Christians everywhere, every chance she gets.
