Thanks for posting this. I came face to face with these conclusions after watching Ashcroft's confirmation hearing and subsequent elevation to the most hated man in the Bush administration. Whenever I would ask my liberal friends, why do you hate him, they could come up with nothing more than his religion and the stupid statue episode. A religious person without any particular act they could specify was more frightening to them than Waco or settling child custody disputes in the dark of night with automatic weapons.

THANKS.

Was about to post it.

A good, sobering piece.

I thank God for Hal regardless of his flaws. Besides, he's been in the refining process along with the rest of us! LOL.

They wish to exclude God from whom freedom's are inalienable, and replace it with granted freedoms.

Kerry said it best, "It's a good thing that we live in a country where the government allows us free speech".

This idiot, that has no grasp of the Constitution that he wanted to take an oath to uphold, is an example of liberal elite thinking and secular thinking.

It is the citizen that allows the government powers, not vice versa. In this nation the citizen stands as sovereign in his self determination. The citizen already possesses free speech, the right to worship as he chooses, the right to possess arms, the right to have his grievances addressed by government. The citizen was born free with gifts included, along with eye color, he already possesses freedom over his thoughts, speech, and actions, pre- installed by his Creator.

The attack by Secularism on Religion is an attack on the individual sovereignty. We are being attacked on two fronts, our sovereignty, and our nations sovereignty.

good post!

This is Christianities last chance to do reverse this abomination on our country. We do not want to force anyone to be a Christian. But we must not accept the godless minority’s religion of “Secular Humanism” as the only acceptable official religion of the United States of America.

90+% of evangelical Christians assent to and support the religion of secular humanism by feeding their most precious resources into its support -- the bodies, minds, souls, and destinies of their children.

It's a fool's errand to get exercised over God's Word engraved on public rocks, while condoning the forceful imprint of secular humanism on our children's minds and doings, upon their foreheads and right hands.

If your kids are in public school, shut up. You have forfeited credibility in the public arena. Why, after all, complain and moan about the pervasive power of a faith that's good enough to indoctrinate your children into?
