State's rights. There was nothing prohibiting any of the states from deciding to have a "state religion". Many of the various states still have "blue laws" on their books which are no longer enforced. The people in the states decide those matters. That's a whole different ballgame that to have one big centralized "FEDERAL" government attempting to dictate a one size fits all particular "religion".
The biblical worldview is the ONLY worldview wherein "all men are created with equal authority" and their rights are inalienable (can never be taken away) because they are given to them by God.
Every other worldview has one or more men in charge of granting any rights and freedoms that their "subjects" (in the world of religious and/or secular governments) are permitted to enjoy.
"Doublethink"
Perhaps artillerylane can amend his comments based on the facts he wasn't aware of.
He doesn't have the earmarks of a troll, Grampa. Just one who is ill informed about the length and depth of the jihad against us.
I think anyone can use this site as long as they aren't abusive, what do I know? =)
You seem intelligent, arty, hope you are not a troll-type and get zapped too quickly.
Temple Seizure, June 5, 1984: Sikh terrorists seized the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India. One hundred people died when Indian security forces retook the Sikh holy shrine.This one blows the credibility of the entire list. Sikhs are not Muslims just because they wear turbans and have beards.
That didn't stop the morons who firebombed a Sikh temple a couple miles from me in the wake of 9/11 of course. Both incidents have one thing in common: they prove that not all terrorists are Muslims.

Thanks Grampa Dave
What a sad summary. There are many in our country and in Congress that need to be reminded.
We are in essential agreement.
There is no doubt, though, that if the Muslims fail to purge the terrorists, and pronto, the very radical suggestions for a solution will become reality.
What you wrote doesn't chage my point.
From your member profile.
Yeah Eric, Islam is just like Christianity. (not)
Garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods (22:19).
When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them Q 9:5
"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad [holy war], Chop Off Their Heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Koran, 47:4)
Slay or crucify or cut the hands and the feet of the unbelievers (5:34)
Fight unbelievers until no other religion except Islam remains. (3:85)
Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked,
"What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause." Volume 1, Book 2
If someone becomes a Muslim then apostatizes, he would be asked to repent; if he does not repent, he should be killed. [Imam al-Shafi'i, The Ordinances of the Qur'an (part 1, p. 289)
"Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme." (Surah 8:36-)
"...make war on the leaders of unbelief...Make war on them: God will chastise them at your hands and humble them. He will grant you victory over them..." (Surah 9:12-)
"Yes this is a global war and yes it is more serious than you can ever imagine."
But there's no evidence that would support that claim. I don't want to seem argumentative here, but we're talking about - on the one hand - a billion people. And - on the other - twelve years which have resulted in a handful of attacks.
And you're claiming that's a global war?
"thanks Grampa , a paid to agitate crapweasel , sounds about right , "hey artillerylane , give it a rest"
Richard Poe identified the trolls on Free Republic and other conservative web sites as Brown Shirted eletronic thugs a long time ago.
It is amazing how fast these Brown Shirted Electronic Trolls pop up to plead the case for the criminally and mentally insane jihadists
You merely show the exceptions that prove the rule. A "Man bites dog" story.
The only ones who are even trying "extremism" are the Muslims themselves. It seems that, since London is now getting hit on a regular basis, and there is no evidence Muslims are attempting to "correct the problem themselves," there is every bit of evidence that appeasement does NOT work.
Kumbaya anyone?
You dont have mass every day interaction with muslims.Then how come every one I know who's been to Iraq feels that Islam isn't the problem?I've gotten to know many quite well, the attitude supportsexcuses terrorim jihad.
Come on Vaca to NYC, Jersey City and Paterson NJ.
And then spout your assertion that Muslims aren't a problem.

A burning cross on the map? (made by the blast points) You think the media will ever get the message...
We are expected to remain calm while our country is being attacked by combatants.
I don't think, I don't want washy-washy bull, anymore, I want action, tough action, if Blair is not willing to lose friends, then he can pass the mantle onto someone else, I'll do what needs to be done.
Agree, Ohio. Based on one post, he was called a troll. It takes a little time, typically, to determine that.
You can't negotiate with a rabid dog. The most you will do is irritate him and make him strike faster.
Thanks Gramps. Good post.
