Today Was "Liberty Sunday"

Today was Liberty Sunday, a nationwide simulcast sponsored by Tony Perkins' Family Research Council. The theme of the program was the idea that the expansion of non-discrimination laws to include sexual orientation constricts the rights of Christians to express their religious beliefs, and that there have been increasing incidents of "government intolerance against those who live out their faith in the public square." Speakers were to include Ann Romney, wife of Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. The governor himself, and a number of other politicians, were to be featured in video presentations. (Christian Post.) People for the American Way issued a release on Friday criticizing Liberty Sunday as being based on a warped premise, and saying that the charge that there is a "War on Christians" is "bogus".
