When they use their position as gov't officials to push this, then yes, it's violation of free speech.

No, it is not...point me to the law that says if you're a politician you must surrender your opinion or ability to persuade by FS?

It's the same as when the ACLU or the Dems claim that some government worker who displays a cross or a "Merry Christmas" statement at their work station, or a state flag that has some kind of Christian symbol is violating the "establishment clause" of the Constitution.

All the ACLU arguments are bogus because the part in question begins, "Congress shall make no law . . . " The display of Christmas greetings and other Christian symbols are not, in any stretch of the imagination, attempts of Congress to establish any one religiion over another.

From another point of view, it is like the current flap over Chaplins in the military praying in Jesus' name. Or, schools having prayers at graduation. Now we have a "Senior Opening," and "Closing Remarks." These were both prayers, plainly addressed to "Our Father."

I agree with you that these are not violations of the Constitution, but they are claimed to be by the same libs and Dems that now want to "ban" Coulter's book.

Do you see my point?

Definately. What is happening is MSM/DBM ignor the "spirit" of constitutional principles, why?
Libs know very well that Prayer and the mention of God in PUBLIC is not a constitutional violation, but the secularist do NOT want any judgements placed on their lack of vitues or moraless behaviors.

What is so ironic about this: "Idea Of America," is that it ceases to exist without acknowledging God. Remove Him and you destroy the Idea. It is imperative that we fight these secularist whether they be Lib or Conserv, it doesn't matter.

Godlessness, is exactly what Libs try to establish, and because of their abject failures, America has survived. Ann's book has exposed one more of their bankrupted thrust on the people.
