And thank you all, as well. My spell-checking is rotten tonight, but I'm truly upset over this growing insanity, and just happy to get the message out there, even imperfectly. We are approaching a turning point, I believe, in these times. People of faith are sick and tired of being treated as second-class citizens in a nation that we founded.

The United States was never intended to be a secular republic, but a secular government led by religious people whose various faiths might be expressed freely in the public sphere as long as our elected government did not act to favor one faith over another. The perversion of this ideal has led to the rise of a tyranny of perpetually aggrieved minorities who have used the naked power of government to relegate all religious expressions (except for Islam, it seems) to the small corners of life.
