So it comes to this. Town meetings in Maine being forced to give up the centuries-old tradition of starting the meeting with a prayer. Now the Bible is "Hate Speech."

Truth sounds like hate speach if you're an unrepentant sinner.

I for one am glad to see this going to trial. We need to hash this out. This BS PC crap is being enforced by petty tyrants all over the country. Lets have it out in court and either put the leftists busybodies in their place, or start taking a second civil war seriously.

Just wait until they say the First and Second Amendments are hate speech.

This is what has happened in Europe. But I thought we still had freedom of speech in the United States. But that is just for the left-wing fascist Nazi demcorats.

You can't go up to the podium and start reading from the Bible," Assistant District Attorney Alyssa Kusturiss countered.

Now reading from Mein Kampf would probably be permissible.

So all you folks would say it was OK for some Moslem to show up at a meeting and denounce the clothes woman public school teachers wore, reading aloud from the Koran to justify his position?
