APPOMATTOX, Va. (AP) — Amid a national furor over President Donald Trump’s tweet urging four Democratic congresswomen to “go back” to their home countries, a Virginia pastor is gaining attention with a sign at his church saying “America: Love or Leave It.”
ABC 13 in Lynchburg reports hundreds of people have expressed support and opposition on social media to the sign outside Friendship Baptist Church in Appomattox.
Pastor E.W. Lucas told the station Tuesday that he wanted to make a statement about the political divisions in Washington.
“People that feel hard about our president and want to down the president and down the country and everything, they ought to go over there and live in these other countries for a little while,” Lucas said.
Trump set off a firestorm Sunday when he tweeted that four freshmen congresswomen “originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe,” and urged them to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

Here’s hoping that he has posted an around-the-clock arson watch.
Those libs are getting craaazeeeey enraged
They may not be Baptist, but the local 4th degree Knights of Columbus come equipped with shiny swords...(and probably concealed carry fire power as well) just in case his security department needs reinforcements

When was the last time you heard the term: “America: Love it or Leave It”?
had to have been circa 1970+/-?
trump’s twitter comments on the squad has refocused national attention on the new democrat socialist congressional power players.
Big news for. MSM. Has carried the news cycle & national conversation for a week already.
Churches have rekindled interest in supporting American exceptionalism after a 30-40 year absence.
Good job POTUS
Yes, I saw this headline and my first thought was: This is nothing me. I remember the phrase from when I was a kid.
Now it’s “controversial.”
Should it be America: It’s okay to hate it?
Thought I would just check . . . .https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.XAmerica+love+it+or+leave+it.TRS0&_nkw=America+love+it+or+leave+it&_sacat=0
MAGA, DJT!
It’s past time to tax these “religious” organizations.
So do I. (I assume you mean "this is nothing new", cld51860. Typo, much? FR really needs a way to edit posts.)
Back in that era I saw a graffito on a freeway overpass: "America - love it or upheave it".

Even the likes of Friendship Baptist? Why?

“It’s past time to tax these “religious” organizations.”
I’m guessing you posted the same comment in articles that discussed those churches offering sanctuary to illegals, pulpits to gay preachers, weddings too same-sex couples and diversity training to their congregations.
They are tax exempt because they are religious organizations. What is the religious purpose of that advertisement?
And you would be wrong
That congregation clearly does not suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome!
Instead they are infected with Trump Arrangement Syndrome.
Huzzah!
Yes, good on them but make sure their fire insurance is up to date.
Yes, nothing new to me. Lol. Thanks!
It’s a sad day when if you say...
“America, Love it or Leave it” and it becomes a “news story”.
Good grief our Nation is on the brink.
