hey....keep your religion

[rphud]

To my reading the specific language of the constitution protects religions from the government and says nothing about "protecting" the government from religion or the influence of religious beliefs.

Most days I long for "The only language which we are called upon to interpret and apply is the plain language quoted above from the Federal and State Constitutions."

Facts now pale in comparison with the higher truths of progressivism.
By Victor Davis Hanson


"Language is useful for inventing new realities.

Progressives believed that because traditional protocols, language, and standards were usually created by stuffy old establishment types, the rules no longer necessarily should apply. Instead, particular narratives and euphemisms that promoted perceived social justice became truthful. Bothersome facts were discarded.

So far, political mythmaking has been confined to popular culture and politics, and has not affected the ironclad facts and non-negotiable rules of jetliner maintenance, heart surgery, or nuclear-plant operation. Yet the Ebola scare has taught us that even the erroneous news releases and fluid policies of the CDC can be as likely based on politics as hard science.

If that is a vision of more relativist things to come, then we are doomed."
