Like old judge nap.

This quote from Ronald Maximus is particularly relevant here I think............

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

Naw, most of us want all the words of the 1st Amendment used not just the few that seem to give the government the power to stop them from practicing their religion.

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,

What do these words mean to you? Do you just stop reading at religion and fail to see the rest of the "guarantee"?

There is no indocrination going on, it's all in the imaginations of the talking heads.

Every time someone wants to teach bible in a public school, it's a violation of the 1st amendment. I do not want my kids being taught religion by a public school teacher. That's my job. You're allowed to practice your religion freely, just don't try to force it down my kids, or grandkids throat through the school system.

Nobody is trying to take your religion away from you, no churches are closing because of federal laws.

Unfortunately, you are casting pearls in front of swine...

I don't remember one thing like that and I first entered 1st Grade in 1937. I am sure glad I didn't live where you did later on.

I am pretty sure I WILL MAKE IT. I am willing to give him a try since the present one hasn't proved to be much.

Or

"Hey, remember when we were free to tell people who they could and couldn't marry?"
Why don't you read the link so you could know what is being talked about?

What would Reagan say to the chance that the Supreme Court will avoid its duty concerning Obamacare? I think he would squeal as loudly as I think I will if they don't. I heard it said on TV a few minutes ago that they will vote 6 - 3 against Obamacare. The three being the females, 2 who were installed there to vote like that and one who doesn't like our Constitution, anyway.

Reagan was always my favorite president. Yes he would be squealing but he never would have allowed something like this to take place either. 6-3 sounds about right. The three should be relieved of their seats as they are not doing their jobs.
