No prayer at the Inauguration? Are you kidding???



Unfortunately, they are not kidding. A federal Judge has been asked to stop the prayer at President Bush’s Inaugural. The Judge ruled against the petitioner. But, it’s not over. No, this fight is far from over.



Have you looked at the Constitution lately? Have you read it? If, and when, you do, a couple of things will NOT leap off the page at you, because they aren’t in the Constitution… at all. “Freedom from religion” is one, and the right “not to be offended” is the other. Oh, there are a lot of things “creative judges” have found in the constitution which, upon close observation, are NOT in its hallowed phrases. A woman’s right to an abortion comes to mind. I hear some of you muttering: “…it’s under the interstate commerce clause….”. You sure? Find it.



There is no such thing as a “separation of church and state clause” in the constitution. It doesn’t exist.



I’m sorta funny about the Constitution. I believe they guys who wrote it thought long and hard about what they were committing to paper and after long deliberations they put on that paper exactly what they meant. Period. Those guys, didn’t mess around. They were serious men. This was serious business.



The constitution is very basic, really. Take the “right to bear arms”. The framers knew that if the people had weapons, the government would think twice before going tyrannical on them. A government, afraid of the governed, is a restricted and controlled government. That is what they designed and, we had it... until the years just before the Civil War. The South fought to preserve the government given us by our forefathers and the north fought to create a strong federal government. They won. (If you really want to be enlightened, read the Constitution of the Confederate States of America.)



Soon, we will have vacancy on the Supreme Court. The president must appoint a conservative judge to that position and we must press the Senate to confirm him, or her.



The alternative is unthinkable.
