....and declaring, "The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."

Well, Hallelujah!
(Now where's that freeper with his "Master of the Obvious" display?)

The first sixteen words of the Bill of Rights are:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...."

While the athiest Democrats of the ACLU like to pretend that those last six words aren't there, they ARE there. And it is certainly gratifying to see that a U.S. Court of Appeals noticed that those last sux words are there. The "tyranny of the minority" has just been slapped down a little. I feel like somebody just threw a glass of cold sanity in my face.

I have never been so proud to be a Kentuckian.

This made my day. Isn't it sad that we have to beg the court to protect religious freedom from the cultural cleansing bigots at the ACLU.

[Free Vulcan]

Hey folks, pause for a moment and ponder. You are seeing history in the making. This will bring the whole separation of church and state legal fiction created by the ACLU for the last 50 years crashing down.

Interesting a PA judge rules that God is not allowed in science class and a couple of states away another judge rules that at least His commandments are allowed to be placed in a courthouse. We do live in interesting times.

Congratulations KY, a bit of freedom reinstated for you.

A U.S. appeals court today upheld the decision of a lower court in allowing the inclusion of the Ten Commandments in a courthouse display, hammering the American Civil Liberties Union and declaring, "The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."

If the courts were predictable and we on the RIGHT were gamblers I *almost* wish we would fight against this ruling -- and fight it all the way up the ladder to the US Supreme Court and then LOSE on purpose. Thus reestablishing the first amendment the way it was intended.

There is not provision within the Constitution regarding the separation of church and state.

In fact last part of the first amendement specifically states QUOTE ... nor infringe upon the free exercise thereof. UNQUOTE with regard to religion.

Another misinterpretation by modern-day jurists is the Constitution is a "living document". It is not. The Constitution enumerates rights.

It's about dang time!

It's beyond me how we got a "separation between church and state" from the First Amendment stating: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion , or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...

Hmmmmmmmmn.

At least, at last, they found somebody who has read the same Constitution I studied.

[Uncle Vlad]

Yes! Yes!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Thanks for the reminders, but the ACLU is on a rampage that is anti-Christian, anti-american, etc. These are great and I am glad that you reminded me of them. My spirits are higher. The battle continues though.

Oh, how I hope and pray you are right about this!

Writing for the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Richard Suhrheinrich said the ACLU's "repeated reference 'to the separation of church and state' ... has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."

Suhrheinrich wrote: "The ACLU, an organization whose mission is 'to ensure that ... the government [is kept] out of the religion business,' does not embody the reasonable person."

The court said a reasonable observer of Mercer County's display appreciates "the role religion has played in our governmental institutions, and finds it historically appropriate and traditionally acceptable for a state to include religious influences, even in the form of sacred texts, in honoring American traditions."

Thank you, Judge Richard Suhrheinrich! Finally a judge that can read and interpret the First Amendment as it was written and intended by our forefathers.

If only I could make them different colors, it might help me remember better.

I know, I should learn more than 3 html thingies.

Moral Absolutes Ping.

Read it and have some good cheer. "No wall of separation" - that's the truth, folks. Posting the 10 Commandments on a courthouse wall, at a school, in a post office, at a public park - does NOT constitute Congress establishing a religion.

The end.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

I've got to start writing the article about universal moral absolutes before I die of old age.

[moog]

They would have to put some kind of audio for the name of those colors for me. HEHE

Have a good Christmas.

[metmom]

Great picture. You probably could have knocked him over with a feather. I guess this really ruined his Christmas, huh?

[metmom]

ping!

[metmom]

ping to you, too.
