Are you saying the court system is always fair and consistant. I want you to start a thread with that title.

I'm not saying that at all, though I do believe our court system is one of the fairest and most consistent ever achieved by civilized man.

What I was illuminating with my comment was your incredible hypocracy with church and state issues. When it comes to government inference with the practice of your religion, you get righteous and indignant. But when it comes to government interference with the practice of other peoples' religion---religion you deem invalid---you wipe your hands, walk away, and say so what. Even worse, you say if they get punished a little bit it's a-ok with you.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, Wonk. If government interference is bad for your religion, it's bad for all religion. I can't believe a contributor to a conservative website actually has difficulty with this simple bit of theory.

Saying that I expect persecution from the government and saying that I don't look to them for support is not getting righteous and indignant. When I see the government actually do something right in a higher view I'm not going to drop to a libertarian world view and defend everyone's right to do what ever they want. Defending a queers and witches rights to do what they want is like defending a baby's right to play in the street.
