164. Because they are tearing at the fabric of separation.
Edited on Mon Dec-08-08 11:35 PM by Festivito
And, I don't like the hypocrisy, although the hypocrisy is not as important to me. The destruction of the wall is more important than the hypocrisy, but not the most important thing, that most important thing exists outside the box of this thread.

They are stifling the 1st amendment. They have been for some time now. And more than tearing at the fabric of a wall of separation, it tears the fabric of our society, our union, our needs-to-be-more-perfect union.

It works fine for the atheists. The law of no religion in every public space means the atheist is the de facto established religion of this country. They win. Yeah. Wonderful for them. But, it's not wonderful.

It has been tearing this country apart. It makes a martyr of religion and extends the worst of these religions beyond their due. Mostly it stops Democrats from making what should be easy inroads to a huge organized voting block.

Part of this last eight years, eight years that will keep us tied to paying for its time for decades to come, was in goodly part due to the antagonistic undermining of all things religious in the public space.

Let it be free and I think you'll be surprised and pleased at how much it resembles no need for confrontation at all. EDIT ADDING: This concept is the fabric of separation of church and state, and the fabric of our freedoms in general.
