Madison, Wis. (AP) -- A federal judge in Wisconsin says the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb issued the ruling Thursday in a lawsuit filed by the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation.

I don’t care what some hot-shot judge seeking her 15 minutes of fame says, I’m observing. Come and stop me.
I've never understood why some people need the government to tell them when to pray.
This entire church and state debate is ludicrous as it is EASY to find out what the First Amendment language intends. Just look at how those who drafted the Constitution BEHAVED after ratifying it. Far from what the left would try to have us believe, the Founders incorporated reverence and worship of God into every aspect of public life. They appropriated money from the treasury to print Bibles for the purpose of evangelizing the Indian tribes. They formed the beginnings of the public school system for the expressed purpose of ensuring that citizens were educated in the Bible, as they viewed it as the crucial ingredient necessary for successful self-government. Heck, Thomas Jefferson regularly attended church services held in the Senate chambers! At other times, they were also held in the Supreme Court chambers. It doesn't get any more ironic than that.
The left is just stupendously wrong about this issue.
we have so lost our way...
What an IDIOT!!!
Think about it.
The Federal governments official position is:
“No God!!!! You CANNOT MENTION GOD HERE!!”
What does that tell ya?
Not to mention it was George Washington who proclaimed a national day of prayer and Thanksgiving. I guess some judges know more about the Constitution than the drafters themselves.
In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered… do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?” Benjamin Franklin: [Constitutional Convention, Thursday June 28, 1787]
Some federal judges should be ignored, and this one is VERY high on that list. There is something in the First Amendment (as line that she has probably never read or at least never understood) that I keep in mind when someone hints that vague “others” might object to a prayer, and that highest law of the land, along with the God-given right that it protects take precedence over this deluded moron.
OBAMA CANCELS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN 2012, DECLARES HIMSELF DICTATOR.
Under that article will be:

(No sarcasm here. Just move along folks.)
Hell no. I’m not giving these MO FOs one square inch of our nation. If they want to run off and start a European nation summers else, fine with me.
You guys are acting as if we’re allowed to have our own voices and opinions.
Looks like a lesbian if ever there was one. Maybe she is Tammy Baldwin’s (lezzie from Madison serving as Congress critter Rep) mentor & teacher.
Sounds good to me. Other countries did it why can’t we. No use butting heads all the time and the rads will have a place to go and the conservatives can live in peace, pray out loud, salute the flag, lower their taxes, balance their budgets, jail their child molesters and sex offenders - sounds great.
I'm all in favor of it as well. I am sick & tired of liberal RAT bastard socialist who are destroying our country's heritage & moral fiber, and bankrupting us with runaway spending & an immoral tax code. And then we have to live & survive in the aftermath. Put the liberal retards (and judges) on one side and conservatives on the other side. I will guarantee you that NO liberal will want to live on their side, once they realize they can no longer mooch off of conservatives. I am sick & tired of the liberal RAT bastards! Let's gitter done!
Take it to SCOTUS now!
Sign me up... I am SO sick of this bullsh*t...
She’s got the look. She’s got the look. She’s got the LIBERAL look...
