Does Barry Lynn have a kitten about Harry Potter, too?

Great article. Thanks for posting.

as long as people sit on their asses and do nothing (keyboarding does very little); these people will continue to trash everything gained by blood and sweat to make this country what it is

have you knocked a liberal on its ass today?

I will never understand why we allow these groups so much time at the microphone. We've always had kooks but until recently we'd ignore their ramblings about acid rain, or inadequate food supplies, or Jesus Christ, or any number of other things was sure to lead to our ruin.

Now any group with a loud mouth and a bad idea gets their way - we're saving the caribou, protecting the swamps, worshiping the redwoods, we can't drill in the frozen tundra, blah blah blah (ad nauseum)

Barry Lynn is an assrabbit. He should be barking in front of a sideshow tent, not talking with the adults.

Erasing Christianity from the culture that it shaped will leave nothing left. We had better ban all literature, along with our whole contaminated culture.

Never Fear, the Caliphate will do that in due time.

Such a clear gospel message, according to some civil libertarians, has no place in the public schools. Barry Lynn, director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, says, "This whole contest is just totally inappropriate because of the themes of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It is simply a retelling of the story of Christ."

I used to listen to Lynn years ago when he co-hosted a radio show with Pat Buchanan during the Clinton crime years.

Lynn was a Marxist on almost every issue. Intelligent, but totally without wisdom. It was very clear, however, that what drove him over the edge was Christianity. His demeanor on the air would change as quick as the blink of an eye, and he became horribly agitated by any mention of the faith.

Barry Lynn is so smart. Wonder if he realizes that Kelo v. City of New London is simply a retelling of the story of Ahab and Jezabel as told by the atheistic Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

Frankly, I think it's long overdue for Barry Lynn to leave America and go find someplace comfortable.

RP, can you share this with John? I won't get to listen today. I have to sub. Thanks!

C.S. Lewis' classic, set to premiere as a major motion picture Dec. 9, has a clear Christian message, culminating in the Christ-figure, Aslan the Lion, giving himself to the devil figure, the White Witch, to die in the place of the rotten little kid, Edmund. Then Aslan rises from the dead, which brings salvation to Narnia.

Well GREAT! Thanks for posting this, now I don't have to see the movie!

I'll bet you're the same person that posted the ending to the movie "Titanic!"

I nominate you to market this bumper sticker. Perhaps send the design to cafepress.com.

I'll be your first customer!

We live in an age when the Left considers Christianity to be more dangerous than pornography. C.S Lewis would be amused at the absurdity of it all.

Somebody needs to massage Barry Lynn's gums with a tire iron.

Rhea,

As long as there are government schools there will be continual cat fights over curriculum and school policies.

Why?

Because education of children is fundamentally a transfer of moral, and cultural values. The consequences are NEVER neutral.

Regarding curriculum and policies, the government school WILL uphold and establish the moral, cultural and religious worldview of some and trash and undermine the most closely held traditions and beliefs of others.

Can this be constitutional on either the federal or state level? NO!

Government schools violate First Amendment Rights (human rights) every day of their existence.

Solution: Remove your child from government school today. Work politically to starve the government schools of money. Work to establish a system of universal private education for all children in this nation.

The following is an excellent essay on why government schools are unconstitutional: http://www.newswithviews.com/Stuter/stuter9.htm
