The constitution provides for the separation of church and state. This is to prevent a "church state" from evolving and goes back to the very purpose of the bill of rights. What the supreme court has said is that by having or promoting an organized religion within the confines of government violates the concept. What the states have attempted to do (in conjunction with certain ultra-conservative groups) is to blur that line. A recent example is a school district which objected to a student dressing as Jesus Christ for Halloween. he was told to remove the costume but when it was found he was just dressing like some one he idolized he was allowed to wear the costume.

Expression of ideas, including religious ones need be protected but in certain environments such as a school, it infringes on those who do not believe a certain way. So where is the "line"? The Supreme Court has struggled with this idea of these two conflicting rights for almost as long as this Republic has existed. I believe a fair and equitable solution must be struck or we will tear the country apart trying to resolve the problem.

Sadly. the Supreme Court has not been willing to clearly define Where these rights, when in conflict. which supersedes the other or how (which I doubt will ever happen) the rights can coexist peacefully.

LOL The Hollywood interpetation of what war is like

You know we (Vietnam and Korean) veterans both fought for there country but were not treated as well as the WWII vets. Let's just agree to agree that both vet groups were not given the respect and honor they should have been given.

Wecome home to all my Vietnam buddies. To my fellow marines Semper Fi!

How about if it goes the other way, a facist, either monarcy or a small group dictating what can and can not be done.
The preference of State rights with the ability to override a Federalist Republic directly or indirectly promotes a fractured republic..... "A Nation devided".

That nearly distroyed this country 160 years ago and would do the same now.

Thank you for that video. These wingnuts who when challanged stated they were proud of their bigotted attitudes. When do you think they will realize that this kind of thinking only hurts the country.

I am sure you realize only about 50% (may get close to 60%) of registered voters vote in a presidental election. Less than that vote in a local election. What does that say about our democracy. Whould the difference be larhger or smaller if eveyone (or nearly everyone)voted?

Agreement nuckelhead. THINK@!

You are really getting down right shitty. You fucken pimp

Political party preference swings from left to right and back again through the years depending on economic and other conditions of the country. I don't think you have to be a Republican, as a matter of mfact you must be blind not to see, that the Republicians are currently and have been self-distructive for years. Further they are geytting worse not better assuring a democratic President and Congress in 2016.

Amen!

Sorry but you are the one out of touch with reality. If that is the criteria you wish to set (reproductive capability) than children would not be human until they reach pre-teen age. Your argument has no merrit and you use personal atacks instead of valid arguments. At this point I would just like to curse you out or dismiss you as an Ass with the brain power of a flea. If youevery want to discuss something rather than act like some spoiled six year old you come back. Intil then a dunce cap would be most appropriate.

Very interesting, and how did you determine these employees status in this country. Did you ask them? Did you get every ones name and social security number (req

Did you hear about the guy who was told he had six months to live?
He was presented to the bill and told the Dr. he didn't have the money to pay.
So the Dr gave him another six months.

Isn't it more exciting if we don't know how long we have?
Do we really want to know?

RACIST!
