Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sparked outrage from the left this week by hosting a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon. Critics claim he violated the “separation of church and state,” but conservative voices are fighting back. Glenn Beck demolished these accusations, reminding Americans that our Founding Fathers openly embraced faith in government.
The Pentagon event featured prayers for military leaders and praise for former President Trump’s leadership. Liberal media outlets immediately attacked Hegseth, calling it unconstitutional. But Beck exposed their hypocrisy by highlighting Thomas Jefferson’s 70-year tradition of church services in the U.S. Capitol building.
Jefferson didn’t just allow worship in government spaces — he personally attended. Presidents like James Madison and Andrew Jackson followed his example. The “separation” phrase comes from Jefferson’s letter about keeping government out of religion, not banning faith from public life.
Left-wing activists want to erase America’s Christian heritage. They attack public Nativity scenes, school prayers, and now a Defense Secretary’s voluntary worship service. Meanwhile, they ignore real constitutional violations like the IRS targeting conservative groups or FBI spying on parents at school board meetings.
Glenn Beck’s viral segment exposed how the left twists history to push secularism. The same media freaking out over a Pentagon prayer service stayed silent when Obama hosted Islamic prayer events at the White House. This isn’t about principle — it’s about punishing Christians who dare to practice their faith openly.
The Founding Fathers would laugh at today’s “separation” hysteria. They opened Congress with prayer, stamped “In God We Trust” on currency, and declared days of thanksgiving to God. If hosting voluntary worship services violates the Constitution, then America’s greatest leaders were all criminals.
Conservatives see this attack as another attempt to shame people of faith. While Democrats weaponize government against churches and pro-life pregnancy centers, they celebrate drag shows for kids. Hegseth’s prayer service represents a bold stand against this anti-Christian agenda.
True patrients know religious freedom made America strong. The left wants to replace “One Nation Under God” with government control. But as Beck proved, history and the Constitution are on our side. This fight isn’t just about a prayer service — it’s about preserving the soul of our country.
