  | I just watched this segment on cnn. Whoever the jerks were yelling made absolute IDIOTS of themselves. I know that technically the headline is correct - but "protesters" makes it sound like more than a man and a woman.

 | More reason to just completely separate religion from government. Arguably the led prayer is unconstitutional already. It seems as if they were attempting to show some diversity in the Senate prayer, but the best way to show you're not expressing favoritism is to just not have it. I don't see why Senators and Congressmen/women can't pray to themselves silently. When I saw "protesters", I was anticipating some people protesting religion in government practice. Apparently I was wrong.

What good is prayer if it's not making a public statement and spectacle? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.
