Wrong. My rights are being eroded every day by the ACLU, bad judges, bad politicians, and unaccountable bureaucracies. Get your facts straight.

I stopped by the anti-war demonstration in DC on Saturday. Your statements sound just like the speakers at that rally, only they were blaming the Bush administration, the PATRIOT act, big corporations etc. Paranoia knows no ideological bounds.

Paranoia? I can cite court ruling after court ruling that prove my rights are being eroded. My fears are grounded in FACTS. Here are a few examples that I will bet you have no clue about:

Everson vs. Board of Education (1947)

Engel vs. Vitale (1962)

Stone vs. Graham (1980)

Edwards vs. Aguillard (1987)

Lee vs. Weisman (1992) - in this case, the court rules 5-4 against prayers at public graduations DESPITE the fact that it was proven our founders prayed at graduations and even gave sermons!! In his concurring opinion, David Souter acknowledged these historical facts, but concluded that that our founders "turned their backs" on the Constitution. HAHAHAHA. The men who WROTE, DEBATED AND RATIFIED the 1st amendment turned their backs on it. hahahahha. THIS IS FALSE! but it was used as an excuse to take away freedoms that we have had for over 200 years! Want to try to defend this? Go ahead! Watch how I take you apart.
