In other words, we’re not dealing with the tyranny of the majority, but the tyranny of the minority.

We have lost nativity scenes in cities across America because one citizen of one city doesn’t like Christmas. We have lost freedom of religious expression in our public school system because a student here or there is bothered when people pray. We have lost crosses on many of our war memorials because atheists want to shield their children from religious exposure. And we are poised to lose even more freedoms if we don’t stop this scourge before it sweeps across our land and our intellectual landscape completely.

“In other words, we’re not dealing with the tyranny of the majority, but the tyranny of the minority.”

Ummmm...duh? Is this a reprint from the 1970s?

Thw tyranny of the minority controlled by a minority of lawyers with too much power and authority.

We are society that is controlled and influenced by lawyers without common sense.

Too many laws, too many regulations and rules, too many unwritten rules and political correctness. Yet with a level of corruption that allows the Liberal elites to ignore the Constitution and other rules that they don’t like.

We are not a society that solves problems, but creates them for economic and political purposes such as Obamacare, EPA, etc.

Our Constitutional freedom of religious expression has been replaced by the demand for a freedom from exposure to religious expression, as though it were a nuisance at best, or a toxic substance at worst. Neither voluntary public prayer nor the presence of religious symbols in the town square constitute the "establishment" of a state religion, such as the Constitution plainly intended to prohibit.

Just as plainly though, there is nothing in our founding documents nor in our history to suggest that expressions of religious faith be banned from public display or excluded from public property. Modern notions to the contrary are the product not of law but rather of fear, prejudice, and some might suggest: guilt.
