Bravo.

Let me say this again... The 1st Amendment limits governments, not individuals.

I don't care who she is. The ad she submitted was a mirror image of the anti-Christianity ad the paper chose to run a few days earlier. This is a double standard. This is pure bias or intimidation. Take your pick.

Everyone knows that Christians pose no real threat (except for all the disingenuous liberals on CD who claim they're just as, if not more, skeered of dem Christians!) so that makes them fair game. Muslims? Can't touch 'em.

If liberals didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

I don't much care, truth be told.
