By the way, when the leader of "The Flat Earth Society" died a while back his devotees traveled out on the ocean in a ship, and tossed his remains ....... over the edge.
Who cares?
Vanity in Frontpage News alert.
This post is worthy of a comment in a thread... sheesh. What would happen if we all posted our comments in Front Page News?
flexible morality noted.
That's what cost Rather his job. Had Dan come on the air 3 days after Memogate and said, "we may have gotten it wrong," all would have been forgiven by the masses, then it would have been over.
It's not just TV or news in general. Has Clinton said, early on "I screwed up. i DID have sex with Ms. Lewinski. I shamed myself, my family and my country," it would have been over in 10 days.
Truth works, and the absence of truth teaches others to never trust us about anything, anytime.
There is no excuse for lying in court. My guess is that if it was done, then there'd be legal repercussion for false swearing. If that is the case, then we would expect to see indictments. If we don't, then there probably wasn't lying.
And properly so. The Catholic Church should support its own schools without violating one of the Ten Commandments.
Some common sense in this thread:
"The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."
"For too long they have been lectured like children by those in the ACLU and elsewhere who claim to know what the people's Constitution really means."

Segregation was ruled "legal" and within the Constitution several times by the USSC. All because of "precedent" until they finally got it right.
Excellent. Let's lie to further God's truth.
Equating what was done on the stand in Dover with missionary work in hostile environments is patently absurd. What was said on the stand, IMHO, was done to save face, not to further God's message. They risked nothing more than their place on the school board, Christian missionaries in Muslim countries risk their lives.
Atheism is a faith as much as any other. Agnosticism says "don't know".
Those who are certain that there is no god and want Him removed from public view are pushing their own "no god" God down our throats.
Whether there is discussion of the mechanisms by which a creator designed the universe or not is irrelevant, we'll never be able to say with any certainty how things happened. Can we create life from basic components? Not taking egg and sperm, but carbon, et al?
For science to insist that God played NO ROLE in the creation of the universe is to institutionalize that there is no god. If God had no role, all of this expansion surely must have come as a surprise to Him. How did God evolve into being? Or is science adamant in saying that He doesn't exist?
Beware of Atheism and State, the defacto state sponsored religion.
My sister was once bitten by a moose.
Hard to get worked up over the I.D. "battle". Our kids would benefit as much from having Astrology taught in science class. I believe in God but Creationism is not science.
The Republican's have had their share of poor appointments with Justice Suitor as an example. And don't forget, it took Republican conformation votes to appoint Ginsberg.
Learn to lose with class.
Jones tried to shield himself by writing in his opinion that this decision was not "judicial activism." But saying a duck isn't a duck, doesn't make a duck something other than it is. This was a case of judicial activism, and Jones is precisely the kind of "judge" who shouldn't be on the bench.
You've sold your soul, period.
