The wackier social engineering/secular humanist-style liberals make the mistake of reading their own totalitarian fantasies back into the U.S. Constitution. They get confused and start to think of the entire public sphere as "the state." It was a terrible mistake to make the sphere of education "the state" ( a government facility). This is part of the problem.
This is the most absurdly dishonest, corrupt and ruthless onslaught against an incumbant Commander in Chief, in a time of War, since perhaps 1864.
The Democrat Party has been hijacked by the hysterical haters. Watch Zell Miller's speech at the GOP convention. That'll be the kiss of death for Kerry, because every union guy in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and farmer in Iowa and Minnesota are going to go ... "Damn, he's right! Who are these freaks in my Party?"
At some juncture, John Kerry and his gang of bipolar certifiables are going to have to come out from behind Dan Rather's and Tom Brokaw's skirts. It's over.
