May 30, 201115 yr You put words in peoples mouths like no other. Re-read the posts that people put on here about 5 or 6 times and perhaps you will be able to comprehend. No one is saying it should be put aside. No one. I'm happy your town has had the graduation in the church for 70 years. If no one cares, more power to you. What happens when a small area is predominately Muslim and they have a graduation ceremony in a small mosque and it becomes the town norm to do so. Are you going to complain? Based on your recent posts, I am sure 100% of the posters on this forum can answer that. I would have no problem with graduation being held at a church, any church, it's not going to change what I believe in. BUT, as you hit on, even thinking of having graduation at a mosque people would be up in arms! Heck, just the thought of building a mosque in some communities people are up in arms.
May 30, 201115 yr I take my hat off as does my son for the national anthem, but you would be the one who would oppose to taking your hat off because of your political self rightous correctness. I really wish your kind would move out of the country. WOW!
May 30, 201115 yr What was the Supreme Court doing when they upheld slavery and Jim Crow Laws? Just as these decisions are now viewed as being bad interpretations of the Constitution, maybe soon some of these decisions about prayer in the public forum will be reversed. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the Supreme Court had no choice but to uphold Slavery in the Dred Scott case because the Amendments to abolish slavery had not been passed. Once passed, that issue was laid to rest. As to Jim Crow, like many things, it took the time of seeing and proving that "separate but equal" was not being applied and was not working. That's when a "re-interpretation" of the Constitution took place.

That's when a "re-interpretation" of the Constitution took place. At that time the Court was not activist, as recent courts have been. If some of today's activist judges had ruled on the Scott Decision, they would not have allowed anything like a Constitution to stand in their way. Although on that one, I would have had to agree. Too many judges today want to impose their views on society and act as if referendums or legislation do not exist.
May 31, 201115 yr Too many judges today want to impose their views on society and act as if referendums or legislation do not exist. There will always be deference given to legislators, but if a law doesn't comply with the constitution, it might as well not exist...
June 21, 201115 yr What do you all think about them? Good or bad for America? It started out as a good thing that was needed. Today's times the far out liberals have made the entire organization a comlete joke. They do FAR MORE harm than good. Thats what I think.
