    Yes. The same whackjobbery that, in the Clinton era, had people placing long classified ads in the paper I worked for with language declaring themselves (and their trailer and land) sovereign from the U.S. I was glad to at least benefit from the ad revenue.

    I would love to see which side the ACLU comes down on if Islam or Judaism were put forward as state religions as opposed to Christianity.

    Agin' it. Look at their defenses of KKK members. The ACLU is nothing if not consistent.

    Well except when it comes to the predominant religion of this country.
     
  12. Shouldn't it be a badge of honor to be a persecuted Christian?
