"The United States has always been founded on Judeo-Christian Theology if someone else thinks that it's offensive then they should move to a country where there not offended."

True . . up until 1948 when the U.S.S.C. ruled religious instruction in public schools was unconstitutional.

1954: The Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling, Tudor v. Board of Education against the distribution of Bibles by outside groups like the Gideons.

1962: The Supreme Court, in Engel v. Vitale disallowed a government-composed, nondenominational "Regents" prayer which was recited by students.

1963: In a number of major decisions (Murray v. Curlett; Abington Township School district v. Schempp) mandatory Bible verse recitation was ruled unconstitutional.

The rest is history.

So is the fact that the killing of babies through abortion is now legal (without parental consent).

So is the fact that America now has the distinction of incarcerating more prisoners than any country in the world.

We have the highest crime rate in the world.

We have the highest drug abuse rate in the world.

The nuclear traditional family is no longer considered the "norm."

One thing is for sure, GOD is no longer in control of the American judicial system, it's media, it's schools, it's people.

So what does this mean:
Our Country is going to hell in a hand basket?

We always have to raise the white flag when it comes to the liberal fanatics

I would add a question: Which group do you think have a keener sense of the real Constitution and the original intent of the Founders and authors of the Constitution and Amendments, The ACLU and Liberal Judges making these rulings *today* or the US Supreme Courts in the first 180 years of our existence?
