> And you speak on behalf of everybody?
Ask this of any of the others on here who denigrate you and your puerile rabble rousing.
> This country was founded on Christian religious principles. The Pilgrims came here to escape religious persecution.
At which point they promptly started persecuting those who adhered to a slightly different version of Christianity. Ever hear of "Rhode Island"? Roger Williams established in it 1636 to escape religious persecution by the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was C of E with Calvinist overtones.
The reason for the First Amendment is that James Madison was repulsed by the Virginia Colony's imprisoning some of its citizens because they refused to join the C of E, which was the official "state religion" in Virginia at the time.
> Just for a change of pace, try answering one of my questions with a simple "yes" or "no" answer.
No. Just for a change of pace, try not posting your incessant crapola here.
> ** This is the third time I've posed the question of whether or not an objection to the words "In God We Trust" makes a person a McCarthy-esque Right Wing Nut Job, and you consistently refuse to answer the question.**
I've already answered it, but your box of rocks mentality completely missed it. As Lightin' said several times in an Amos and Andy episode, "Shucks, missed it again."
> Don't make responses on discussion threads where ample advance warning is offered indicating that the discussion is off-topic and those finding it offensive should scroll on by.
This is the price you pay when you make an off-topic post, particularly one which is deliberately intended to stir people up.
>** This is the third time I've had to solicit your thoughts on the matter of 96% of political campaign contributions from Cornell faculty going to Democrats, as you completely skirted around that fact in your previous two responses. Can you address it this time around?**
What's your point?
