Hewitt Award Nominee

"And I think that we are wondering, when we look at President Obama: Is there a culture of hostility toward expressions of faith in the public square -- particularly Christian? Let's put this in context. Several months ago, the president spoke at Georgetown University; when he spoke there, he covered a cross, and he covered a sacred symbol for the name of Jesus. He did not celebrate the National Day of Prayer at the White House, had no events at the White House, and yet just a couple of weeks ago we had a major reception to celebrate Gay and Lesbian Pride Month in June," - Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, on the Pentagon's decision to forgo an annual flyover of Air Force jets at the "God and Country Family Festival" in Nampa, Idaho.
