I love it. Bob McDonald is doing exactly what he was elected to do. The best vote I’ve ever cast.

Thanks for taking this poll
What do you think of Gov. McDonnell's directive?
I'm in favor of reversing the policy. The chaplains should be able to pray however they choose.

It's the wrong move. Religious prayers are potentially unconstitutional.

I'm not sure.

“It’s the wrong move. Religious prayers are potentially unconstitutional.”

Yeah, stick with the nonreligious prayers. Maybe you can pray to your refrigerator. Which would then become your god making your prayer religious. Modern life is so challenging.

As regards prayer in the Indiana legislature, the US Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled that someone not a member of the legislature didn’t have standing to complain unless he could prove that the sectarian prayer required the expenditure of tax money (which, of course, it doesn’t).

Do NOT tell me the two parties are "exactly the same."

God BLESS Bob McDonnell! Great news!

Dear God.

Thank you for this reversal. Thank you dear Lord that some have the courage to stand up for what is right.

And I pray this...

IN JESUS NAME - AMEN!

Poll has been unFReeped by idiots who do not understand the Constitution, nor the difference between liberty and tyranny.
