The ACLU gives skepticism a bad name. Some of our Founding Fathers were skeptics, yet they were able to make lasting law with their Puritan counterparts during the Constitutional Convention. I say America needs both today just as it did then. The common enemy is the extremist who wants to use law to force his opinions on others -- from either perspective.

Mentioning the ACLU in the same paragraph with our founding fathers -WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT -

Our laws should be passed by representatives of the people,
not reinterpreted by liberal, self important judges.

"from either perspective"

How well reasoned and .... moderate. It is true that the USC has been used to force Christianity on others. I can't think of any examples offhand, but I'm sure there are many. And that would certainly excuse the Christians being made into second class citizens today. < /sarcasm >
