I would ask for a meeting with the head pastor, priest or reverend (what ever the title). I would list my complaints and ask what he/she is going to do about it.

If you are treated like a criminal, for expressing your feelings, or you are ignored, you have two choices:

1. Find another church.

2. Stay and fight. The first thing I would do is to inform the head guy that the next time this happens, you will stop your pledges and donations. Then, you will urge other loyal Americans to do the same. Also, inform him that you and others will speak up in the service or where ever if this happens again.

These left wingers will do this until, we say, No More!

Depending on denominational governance, it is often a good idea to take a matter like this to the church council or governing board locally and make it a matter of record right from the outset. Chances are the majority will agree with you. At the hierarchal levels, most churches are governed by people who had no use for the average sort of person in the denomination-- otherwise they would not have sought employment as far removed from them as possible without actually going outside the denomination and seeking secular employment where economics rules. Local congregations need to put it to the hierarchy and many issues where the hierarchy are slack morally, slack-jawed, and overstaffed in any case. Jesus didn't need a hierarchy of hundreds or thousands.
