Most southerners don't appreciate gvt interference in us exercising our customs and culture.
this wan't about religion, this was about control..everyone now imagines themselves as "activists" and they rush from issue to issue trying to outdo each other on being the most "offended".

Depending on this next election cycle, a re set may be imminent.

From the article:
snip;
People often scoff at the idea of a “slippery slope” in politics, but this is probably one of the prime examples of how real the premise can be.

When the courts decided to ban prayer in school it opened the door to a virtual extermination of religion on school grounds.

It’s simply ludicrous to believe that there is some threat being posed by a school band playing the instrumental version of a hymn. It also reinforces the politically correct idea that, beyond freedom of religion, your freedom of speech somehow includes the idea that you are protected against hearing any speech you disagree with.

If we found a school where children of other faiths were being forced to participate in a prayer to a different god than the one they worship, I’d be right on board with criticizing them. But the idea that you can never be exposed to a different religion is insane.

And while we’re on the subject, how did we wind up at the point where it simply applies to schools?

The basis for that argument was that the schools were funded with taxpayer money, but wouldn’t the same rationale then be applied to any government function on all government property?

How is it that the President can attend the National Prayer Breakfast every year? For that matter, when the current president was inaugurated, how is it that we could have an invocation, a benediction and the playing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic on government property? There’s a big disconnect in these rulings and this Mississippi judge is a prime symptom of what’s gone wrong.

all of it and the video of them SINGING

ou’re not running concessions at the DIA:

Chick-fil-A’s reputation as an opponent of same-sex marriage has imperiled the fast-food chain’s potential return to Denver International Airport, with several City Council members this week passionately questioning a proposed concession agreement.

Councilman Paul Lopez called opposition to the chain at DIA “really, truly a moral issue on the city.”
