I happened to be reading James Madison.... maybe you just consider him an ACLU liberal as well.... after all his reading (and writing)of the 1st Amendment is exactly as I understand it to be meant.
==ACLU? I guess ad homonym is what passes for reasoned debate in the benighted backwaters you frequent (where dinosaurs walked with man, and Science is just a big conspiracy).
ACLU as ad homonym? I thought you would wear the name of the evos favorite battering ram with honor. I also find it interesting that you accuse me of ad homonym and then immediately live up to the characterization yourself. Is this your idea of adapting to your environment? If so, is it by chance or design?

I find it interesting that you rely on James Madison to defend your interpretation of the First Amendment. He wanted a constitution that centralized power in a national government, was opposed to the principle of federalism, and was totally opposed to the Bill of Rights. He only complied with calls for a Bill of Rights because the states would not agree to the Constitution without one. Learn some history.
