John McCain: “No Freedom without Freedom of Religion”

Posted on August 24, 2018August 24, 2018 by ReligiousLiberty.TV

“Choosing one’s faith is the most personal of choices, a matter of individual conscience. That is why we cherish it as part of our Bill of Rights. That is why Franklin Roosevelt listed as one of his four freedoms the right of everyone to worship God in his own way, everywhere in the world. And that is why people fleeing religious persecution continue to find safety in our country. All people must be free to worship as they please, or not to worship at all. It is a simple truth: There is no freedom without the freedom of religion.”

The 2008 Election – Religion, the Economy, and Values Voters (AP)

Posted on October 6, 2008October 6, 2008 by Michael Peabody

“Barriers remain to both major parties if they seek to appeal to religious voters on the economy.

Posted on September 8, 2008September 9, 2008 by ReligiousLiberty.TV

Hitchens: “I cannot wait to see Obama and Biden explain how this isn’t the case or how it’s much worse than, and quite different from, Obama’s own raving and ranting pastor in Chicago or Biden’s lifelong allegiance to the most anti-“choice” church on the planet.”

Evangelical Christians and Sarah Palin – Excerpt from Peggy Noonan’s Column (WSJ)

Posted on September 3, 2008September 3, 2008 by ReligiousLiberty.TV

But modern American evangelicals are among the last people who’d judge her harshly. It is the left that is about to go crazy with Puritan judgments; it is the right that is about to show what mellow looks like.
