The trouble with this particular ruling is that it violates the 1st Amendment by effectively stifling the opposition to defiance of the establishment clause. The supporters of this bill set out to cripple the underfunded ACLU- trying to clear the path for their dominionist goals.

As for your tax money, it’s your responsibility to elect officials who won’t violate the 1st Amendment- or to put pressure on them when they do. Then they won’t waste your money.

For example the ACLU sues my county cause it has a cross on the county seal or something like that. Why should my tax dollars go to the ACLU? Frankly I think they run around looking for ridiculous lawsuits just to fill their coffers.

They should focus their efforts on stuff like the National ID that the government is trying to force down people’s throats.

…And take the whole of civilization along with them, possibly. It still creeps me out, all the ongoing fundie problems at the US AIR FORCE ACADEMY. These f*cks have their trigger finger on THE BOMB for chrissake, as does their Commander-in-Chief, aka “The War President”.

I think my cousin, whose daddy is in the Air Force, recently opted for the Naval Academy instead on account of all those problems…he had been involved in Civil Air Patrol and was really keen on a USAF career, but…anyway, I’m ex-Navy JROTC & NROTC, so I encouraged him and tried to convince him Annapolis is better anyway. He had considered West Point rather strongly at first, which had me sh*tting bricks, worried sick.

Anyway,
If anything seems to be dying, it’s the project of Enlightenment. Unreason runs amok, manipulated by the powerful. Thanks, Leo Strauss (fucker!). Sorry, I just can’t see current developments in an optimistic way like Tony does.

Lynda is right, too—There’s definitely a class-warfare angle on this; Religion is extremely useful for the wealthy as a distraction from the worldly injustice they perpetrate on the rest of us. This tilts things a bit more in their favor…those who would challenge religion in the public sphere now better have deep pockets in addition to being deeply committed to principles. And what lawyer can possibly take on these kinds of cases regularly but completely pro-bono?
The wealthy and their bought-and-paid-for state (legislative and executive) proxies and their religious enablers against the rest of us…again.

LOLOL!

Only if you promise to keep your woman in a shed out back during her unclean moments, Jimmy Dean- BTW, love your sausage patties and have you ever met Bob Evans?
