Laura Ingraham PING.




FYI--If you're a Laura fan, and you're going through withdrawals, you can catch her this week at wabcradio.com from 10:00 - 11:45 a.m. Eastern filling in for one of the wabc hosts.

Laura's new morning show begins in (hopefully) several markets next week!

And you can pre-order the book, "Shut Up and Sing" through Laura's website, www.lauraingraham.com

[And, no, I'm not on Laura's staff or anything. Just a fanatic.]

"OK, what was it before "religionists" changed it to IN GOD WE TRUST?"

If you don't know, then I suppose you're no worse than a judge I experienced during jury duty a while back, who, despite his apparently being old enough to remember when the National Motto was changed, thought that "IN GOD WE TRUST" was the original motto, and I had to correct the judge. FYI, the original, beautiful, eloquent, uniting motto that the Founders chose was "E Pluribus Unum," not the divisive "In God We Trust."

We need more people like Laura Ingraham to speak out. Unfortunately, most of the reporters and anchors on tv (including those on Fox News Channel) have gone out of their way to ridicule Judge Moore and his stand on the Ten Commandments. I also have noticed most of the politicians (including President Bush) don't seem to have much of anything to say on this matter. There aren't many public figures with the courage and conviction to stand up for the judge. It is sad, but that's the way it is nowadays. Bill Maher is a sad individual. I have never liked him.

I had to correct the judge.

What a pompous little snot you are.

[reasonseeker]

You don't know what a pompous little snot the judge was. He went on and on, trying to impress us with his knowledge of the history of voir dir (if I wanted a history lesson, I would have gone to a class or read a book -- it was inappropriate for him to do this during jury duty service), and if he was going to try to impress us with his knowledge, he shouldn't been so grossly ignorant about the motto hanging on the wall behind his head.

"Are churches being closed down? Preachers thrown off the airwaves by government edict? Where is the alleged "persecution?"

Bingo. There is no persecution. It's a straw man set up in an attempt to make Christianity (preferably of the southern protestant variety) the national religion.

[reasonseeker]

As I see it, it's a lack of faith in their own professed beliefs that compel religionists to want to use the force of government to promote their religion.

I have to admit that I caught that reference to "the power, the wonder working power" (of the blood of the lamb). I mentioned on Free Republic and no one else recognized the words to the old hymn in the speech, so I don't know if its such a good code.

I happened to grow up, the daughter of the choir director of a hymn singing fundamentalist church. I'm not sure that old hymn is even sung in churches today.

[zygoat]

I don't go to church, I rarely indulge in prayer, only when a loved one is seriously ill.(It never helped, the cancer killed them anyway.) I actually cursed God and challenged him when he let my fiancee die in '94 and my dad last month. If anyone has a problem with God, it's me. (At least in my mind.) Nevertheless, I can't find anything offensive about a monument in a courthouse, a phrase on a quarter, or a manger scene in someones' yard at Christmas. It seems that there are certian people whose main purpose in life is to be offended. Hell, they will go out of their way to be offended.I'm not religous, but christian sybols are far less offensive to me than the "Gay Pride- Rainbow Flag" down the road, inviting anyone unfortunate enough to recognize what it means to imagine the disease swapping going on inside.Maybe I should take em' to court. After all, I'm offended.

[=Intervention=]

*ROFL* That is the most hilarious post I have read in days, if not weeks. You made my day.

Beware secret Christian operatives trying to make Christianity the national religion! They're everywhere!

And SpellCheck claims another victim...

Good job by Ms. Ingraham.

Mr. Maher, Mr.Lawson are, indeed elitists. And, for some reason anyone who disagrees with them has to be proven wrong in order for them to be right.



If religion were the problem to them, why not attack the Buddhists or the Scientologists? I'm sure that Richard Gere or Tom Cruise would make a good religious-zealot target.

Why not just mock Islam instead of working so hard to prove that the terror of 9-11 in the US, and every day in the Middle East, Africa and much of Asia and Indonesia is just the actions of a few fanatics. For that matter, why can't they, if they are so smart, recognize the difference between the acts of violence that are carried out by people who call themselves Christians and the lives of the rest of us?

On Maher's Showtime show last weekend, Margaret Cho launched into a diatribe about the time and energy that the Christians are wasting in Montgomery Alabama. She said that they should get back to their "job" of having "abortion clinics to bomb."

..are churches being closed down? Preachers thrown off the airwaves by government edict? Where is the alleged "persecution?"...

Christian beliefs are the very cornerstone of your republic, and they are under attack daily by the liberals. The cover arguments used against Judge Moore's monument could also be used to argue for erasing the Biblical inscription from the Liberty Bell. Those opposed to the war on Christian morality know that we are moving towards the events you mentioned exponentially and that Judge Moore's monument is merely the latest manifestation.

...as I see it, it's a lack of faith in their own professed beliefs that compel religionists to want to use the force of government to promote their religion...

...and as I see it, the pretentious intolerance of conservo-atheists is the best arrow in the liberals' quiver.

[Romulus]

Jesus is his favorite philosopher!

Proving that either he doesn't know who Jesus is, or doesn't care. And this Laura cites as an endorsement of Dubya? Words fail me.
