His Banner........Thats not Cool

His Banner
Conservative Newspaper


For those who Do Not live in the Mid Michigan Area. His Banner is an independent Free Newspaper available in gas stations and Library’s etc in the Mid Michigan area. They provide Christian themed articles and for the most part is a very enjoyable
Paper. However they are slowly becoming a conservative propaganda machine. They question the Christianity of people they don’t even know. They Bash the Liberal side of politics and claim that the Republican party is Gods party. I sent a letter to the Editor, a non threatening letter telling them that I enjoy The paper and I applaud their effort in creating a Christian Paper. However I warned them against becoming a Conservative Propaganda Machine. The October 2005 Edition of His Banner responded to my letter with the following: (note His Banner words in Italics )

As we stated before , we have received letters critical of our positions on abortion and Homosexuality. The most recent letter Warned us against expressing a conservative point of view. (chuckw note: they are speaking of my letter and I only warned them against becoming a conservative propaganda machine, my letter did not mention anything about abortion or Homosexuality) This sounds like Al Quada. ( Excuse Me!!! ) Conservatives have no rights to express their beliefs, only liberals ( I never said that!!!! However His Banner says Liberals Have no right to express their opinions) This is the tyranny of liberalism. They tolerate everything except those who disagree with them. Interestingly, These letters gave no Biblical references to support their points of view.( Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor comes to mind!! Mr. Editor!!) Apparently they would stop criticizing us if we would just put some articles in the paper in support of Homosexuality and Abortion.

His Banner took my letter totally out of context. I never said anything about Abortion or Homosexuality in my letter. I actually was givening them praise in my letter and said the only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that they were becoming a Conservative Propaganda Machine and I warned them against that saying that if you are publishing this paper to win souls for Christ, Bashing liberals and judging people you don’t even know will only defeat the purpose. I never said that conservatives have no rights to express their beliefs!!!! To further prove that they are becoming a political paper, let me draw your attention to a classified Ad that was also in the October paper.

His Banner is looking for someone
who is able to draw caricatures for
the paper, able to put two Ideas together in making a
Spiritual or political Statement.

The evidence I have provided to you clearly states the real intention of “His Banner”
Wich is to become a conservative propaganda machine.
This is very sad as the potential that the paper had to win souls to Christ was enormous and for that I was excited.
But not anymore as it is clear that is not their true intention.



His Banner…………………..That’s not Cool
