This was not the time or place for a "christian" prayer. As a believer in Christ I have no problem with that (but then my own religion teaches religious tolerance).

Those who are so insecure in their own beliefs, that they cannot abide the notion that others may believe differently, ought not venture out of doors.

Those who "ought not venture out of doors" must be the Jewish Senators, right?

Why isn't it their job to be the tolerant ones? Did they post or publish their tendancy to swoon at the mention of Jesus' name somewhere publically? And was their sensitive condition known to the good minister?

This is garbage.

They were neither harmed, offended or damaged in any way. They are cheap, left-wingers who are doing their bit to strip all mention of God, Christianity and religion from American life. Humoring these hags is not tolerance...it's capitulation. It's backing down ONCE AGAIN when religion is attacked.

The only element that protects these spiritual bulimics from the bigotry and anti-semitism that has covered the planet, is the Christian ethic that formed this country. If the non-religious Jewish Left is successful in removing Jesus Christ and his amazing love from American culture...there will be nothing and no one left to protect them. That's paraphrasing Dennis Prager, conservative Jew.

The responsibility for tolerance rested securely on the shoulders of the women.

Seems to me you're describing the folks who wouldn't let this preacher give his prayer, because he "believes differently." They're the bigots. You wouldn't find me trying to silence a Buddist who was giving an invocation - - because I'm tolerant and I'm not insecure in my beliefs. that can't be said, it seems, of the anti-Christian legislators who silenced the preacher. Go on apologizing for them. In every age, bigotry has its apologists.
