Well, the "other half" of me is Celtic... so I think that means I'm "pure enough." Or, it could just mean that I should spend half my time drinking Irish beer with God.

I wasn't so offended by the President having an affair as I was about him having one with an ugly chick. I mean, for cripe's sake, man, you're the President... and you can't do any better than that in a mistress? Don't you realize you're representing our country in everything you do? J.F.K. nailed Marilyn Monroe... and having a First Mistress like that is the sort of thing that makes me proud to be an American! If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit.

In the example of Alabama. For a judge to be disbarred for refusing to take the Ten Commandments out of his court room is an utter sham on this nation. The only ones that should have had the right to have him taken off of the bench he sat on is the people that he served. If they had wanted him off the bench they could have done so by a vote. Just like anyone else who serves the public. Anyone with even a shred of common sense would at the very least regardless of believing whether or not the Ten Commendments are from God people should know these basic rules and follow these for everyones sake. Just the simplicity of basic human decency would sure go a long ways towards people treating each other with a bit of respect. It could not hurt the crime rate either. For a anyone to be chastised and punished for praying in school or giving a speech when they were given the podium that includes their faith is abuse by those who believe they can control the faith and spirit of others. Of men I have known who fought in the second World war, the Korean war and the Vietnam war they held tight each and every day they were under fire, in camps as prisoners, marched in to free those in the concentration camps and those that laid bleeding from the battles to defend freedom to freely worship and believe as each of us do in matter of personal choice. For those who do not believe in God let them be for it is their choice and on themselves not I. Not one should give an inch for that which our forefathers, our freinds, our family and those of our own generation that have died and suffered for. The freedom of our children and grandchildren and our grandchildrens children to be able to have faith and belief in the one and only one God that they put their trust in. The ability to be able to carry their scriptures with them as they so desire each and every day regardless of their religion. Growing up all I could carry was a small pocket Bible that I could barely read the small print in it to school. I was not allowed to take it out of my pocket in school. The teachers would have gasped had I asked to use any of the Bible stories as any one of my reading projects. Is it to much to ask public schools to allow children to be able to read from books of faith at school? I remember we had to read so many books per semester. What is so awful about letting our children study fom the Bible for reading credits? | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Good thinkin' Rod... Let folk pray in school and have words that they count spiritual bedrock maxims posted in their public offices... I am sure you would embrace as good and right, for those of any other religion to have their practices and words allowed too? Maybe before a finals exam at school, some kids ought to be able to have a seance and summon up their deceased great uncle who was a professor. OhDear | |||||||||||||||||||||

- HUMAN EVENTS Witchcraft and such is already embraced by the public schools. No Bibles Allowed! | FriendlyChristian.com Maryland School Sued for Refusing to Let Girl Read Bible -- 10/04/2006 Place a restriction on a child using a Scriptural story for reading studies and essays when the child has chosen that subject and topic yet defend and agree that homosexuality should be taught in schools as okay behavior. Whenever a teacher allows children to choose their own topics for an assignment (such as which book to read, which song to sing, or which topic to study for a presentation), students may choose religious themes they have no right to tell the child that they cannot use the Bible. Pigs fly now days the ACLU has even defended this position. When our country was founded the Bible was used to teach children to read. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is, again; the very quandary of the position. We cannot really define the religion issue ourselves; but the freedom of religion is one of the cornerstones of America. | |||||||||||||||||||||
