Facebook Bans Pastor's Ad: "Love God, Defend America"
Author and radio talk show host Todd Starnes writes:
The Facebook Overlords are at it again, folks.
The latest victim is Steve Solomon -- a radio host, pastor and Army veteran from Knoxville, Tennessee. Pastor Solomon wanted to purchase Facebook ads to promote his radio program.
"Speak the truth, Love God, Defend America" -- [that] was the pastor's message. But Facebook rejected the advertisement claiming it was political.
"Nothing about the ad is political," Pastor Solomon countered as he contacted the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
"If anything, it's heavily spiritual and moral," Starnes quotes Solomon as saying.
"I'm a pastor and served in the U.S. Army in Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), so I LITERALLY defended America," the pastor wrote, according to Starnes.
"Encouraging people to be honest, love God, and love America is nothing controversial," Solomon stated.
"There seems to be a concerted effort by a group of militant social media goons to purge any content they find offensive or contrary to their ideology," Starnes comments. "Apparently, there is no room in their freedom-stifling world for conservatives, Christians or patriots."
