Great Read! Seperation of church and state is an abridgement of Gods rights.

Interesting take.

A vigorous, two-handed bump to the top for another masterpiece by Derbyshire. Why is it that these English imports -- Derbyshire and Steyn -- use the King's English so much better than us Americans? Maybe because they were brought up and educated more in the classics -- surrounded by the words of those who used the King's English well.

We have our own set of such writers. Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Madison, Henry. But we are not exposed to them in our educations because they are, after all, "dead white males." Alas.

No Catholic Judges Need Apply

BOSTON, MA - Your Catholic Voice President Ray Flynn has sent urgent “wake-up” emails to 150,000 YCV members urging them to support the confirmation of Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor to the US Court of Appeals.

“To deny Bill Pryor a seat on the Appeals Court because he is a faithful Catholic is anti-Catholic bigotry pure and simple,” Flynn said. “Attorney General Pryor has all of the qualifications for confirmation. He is a man of integrity with outstanding legal background, and the judicial temperament to serve the nation.

“I pray we haven’t reached the day in the United States when faithful Catholic lawyers cannot serve on the bench because they are faithful prolife Catholics?

An oustanding essay. Those who are not Liberal moles may want to take this to heart. Those who are, are in our prayers for we are instructed to love our enemies. But, Lord, it's hard.

Love and peace.

These articles are interesting because in my old home town of La Crosse, Wisconsin there is currently a flap going on about a ten commandments statue in a public park. Some atheists complained, and the statue was to be moved. The land where the statue is located was purchased by the Lions Club whose building was across the across the street, but that wasn't good enough for a federal judge named Crabb who ordered the monument moved out of the park anyway. Is this not the federal government unconstitionally involving inself in state matters? Nobody is forced to look at the monument. I should add like Derbyshire I'm a Christian but hardly a fundamentalist nor even a church-goer. Neither is my fiancee who agrees with me and she's a Democrat to boot, but so what. The statue hurts no one. Our country was founded by people who were very religious and based our laws and constitution on the ten commandment. What's next? Remove in God we trust from the currency? These atheists have to get a life.

I stumbled onto this essay earlier today. I've been a "freeper" for a while now, and this is the first article I actually tried to post (unsuccessfully, I might add).

THANK YOU for posting this....and a great, big BTTT!

The essay is a great read~~~and a must save!
