A sign put up at a Washington County, Tennessee church has people talking. A News Channel 11 viewer contacted us, complaining about the marquee outside.
What you read on the sign depends in which direction you travel down Old Boones Creek Road in Jonesborough. On one side, Jonesborough Baptist Church advertises its Sunday school starting at 10:00 AM. The other side, something totally different, an offer more than an invitation making a point that's purely political.
"Oh my goodness," Caryn Vest of Kingsport said when she saw a picture of the sign.
Close to the sign are several flags, including a Confederate.
The pastor of the church, Randy B. Robbins wouldn't talk on camera, but he told News Channel 11, "I am a proud Southerner, and I disapprove of Obama's leadership."

IMHO, nothing’s wrong with having a church remove Obama stickers. Do they replace them with Cruz stickers?

Josh Taylor of Telford said, "I do feel like there is freedom of speech, at the same time there's limitations at what people should be able to put up." Baby Josh does not understand the word "freedom". Freedom of speech means that Americans are allowed to put up a sign as patriotic as "Obama stickers removed here" or as treasonous and hateful as "support Obama", and both sides should be allowed without government restriction.

” I disapprove of Obama’s leadership”
Leftists want to ban this as “hate speech”.

I believe that church has the absolute right to put this sign up.
On the other hand I see no way this advances the Kingdom of Heaven, which should be the church’s only goal.

To the vast masses, and media, Obama is a god. Not an idol. Small difference, but it is significant.

So, getting rid of Obama stickers and his stain upon the earth and upon Christianity is not advancing Heaven’s goal?

Leftists need to be asked - is there some reason that you wouldn’t prefer just to leave people who don’t think like you alone?
Must you seek total domination, body, soul, and spirit?

I do question the wisdom of displaying a Confederate flag on church grounds, though.
