The owners of a Christian bookstore in Knoxville, Tennessee were dumbfounded after the News Sentinel rejected their ad because it included an offensive word – “Christian.”
Lois McGinnis and her family own Cedar Springs Christian Store. They recently decided to close a second location of the store so they decided to place an ad in the classified section of the newspaper, which is owned by Gannett.
The advertisement read: “Store closing sale – Cedar Springs Christian Store – Clinton Highway location – All merchandise, fixtures, slat walls must go. Sale through August 13, phone 865.947.XXX.”
Mrs. McGinnis placed the ad on July 26. It was supposed to run on July 28. But when she opened up the newspaper – the ad was nowhere to be found.
So Mrs. McGinnis phoned the newspaper and spoke with a classified ad employee.
“She said our ad did not run because it contained an offensive word,” she told me. “I asked what that offensive word was and she said the offensive word was ‘Christian.’”
She said the News Sentinel did not notify her in advance the ad had been rejected nor did they call to say they were refunding her money.

Watch ‘Clinton Cash’ This Weekend on One America News Network
“Whether your political views lean to the right or left, there’s nothing worse than politicians that abuse their power for personal gain,” One America News Network President Charles Herring told Breitbart News in an email.
“Too many times we’ve seen elected officials take a position on an issue that isn’t based on fundamental values or what’s good for the people, but rather what will line their own pockets,” Herring said. “Pay to play arrangements in our government need to be highlighted by media. We’re pleased to bring Clinton Cash to our viewers who can decide for themselves the value of this program.”
Viewers can watch Clinton Cash on One America News Network on AT&T U-Verse TV channel 208/1208, Verizon FiOS TV channel 116/616, , Frontier Communications ch. 116/616, CenturyLink PRISM TV ch. 208/1208, GCI Cable ch. 64, Consolidated Communications, Duncan Cable, Buckeye CableSystems, GVTC and numerous additional video providers.
“The Clinton Cash documentary has been viewed over 1.6 million times in the first week of its global online premiere and was the #1 trending story on U.S. Facebook during the first three days of the Democratic National Convention,” Fleutte told Breitbart News.

"Free Speech Cage" Keeps Anti-Hillary Protesters Away From DNC Convention
The tactics of stifling free speech, and making a mockery of those who have chosen to stand up against the system, only illustrates how far gone this country is, and how illusive the state of “freedom” really is. Politics, elections, power in the hands of a federal government – these people and institutions have long been accepted and normalized, despite the predatory nature of their activities, despite the phoniness, despite the broken promises and utter B.S. that they spew. Though most Americans recognize the futility and the corruption of these parties and politicians – who could ignore the release of damning information against the DNC? – they perform cognitive dissonance, and continue to support, endorse, vote for – and at least in spirit – “elect” their own oppressors, and by extension their own enslavement. When will this vicious cycle end, and how blatant must the tyranny become?
“Free Speech Cage” At The DNC Is A Truly Pathetic Image Of Modern American Freedom
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. — The First Amendment
Congress shall make no law… but they shall erect a “free speech cage”.

GDP Shocker: US Economy Grew Only 1.2% In Second Quarter; Q1 Revised To 0.8%

Hillary Busted Plagiarizing DNC Speech, Media REFUSES to Report
Plagiarism: It’s a major concern if you’re a presidential candidate or the family member of a presidential candidate. Unless you’re a Democrat. In that case, whatevs yo!
That’s the message from the Democrat National Convention, where more plagiarism went on than at the Republican National Convention. There was, of course, Barack Obama’s copying of Donald Trump Jr.’s speech. Then there was Joe Biden’s line copped from Kanye: “We ain’t going nowhere but got suits and cases / A trunk full of coke, rental car from Avis.” (I may have been asleep for one of these speeches.)
But I certainly wasn’t asleep when Hillary Clinton gave her speech last night, and copied from an author most Americans know by heart.
“But here’s the sad truth,” Hillary said. “There is no other Donald Trump…This is it. And in the end, it comes down to what Donald Trump doesn’t get: that America is great — because America is good.”
That’s an amazing line! In fact, it sounds almost like one her husband used back in 1994, according to Sean Hannity:
“I believe fundamentally in the common sense and the essential core goodness of the American people,” Bill said. “Don’t forget that Alexis de Tocqueville said a long time ago that America is great because America is good; and if America ever ceases to be good, she will no longer be great.”
