we'd need to find a name for it... Foundationalism?

[summer]

She's not going to win this in THIS state. Believe me, not now. And, it is NOT a substantial burden for LAW ENFORCEMENT purposes. She can't bend the law because she doesn't want to comply -- unless the law wants to bend for me too.

[summer]

Sounds too heavy handed. How about: "Freedomism."

[GeronL]

that makes no sense. there is no substantial burden in that.

she should follow the law or take the bus. simple choice

[GeronL]

hey, anyone can start a new religion! We don't have to ask permission and besides we can contribute to the politicians since there is good money in religion =o)

[summer]

Well, if she wins this case in the US Supreme Court, then, I say you and I file suit as Freedomists, who are being discriminated against because WE have to do all the things you named, which is against OUR religion. BTW, we will have to think up some holidays and stuff like that.

[Mark17]

Islam and Christianity are unalterably, permanently and diametrically opposed - there is NO other way to view it.

Amen, brother.

Western travellers to the Middle East have been writing for hundreds of years on the easily-seen coming storm that eventually will pit Islam against Christianity once again.

Amen again, brother, and no where in the Bible does it forbid us from defending ourselves. I do, however, think we could do a lot better job of defending ourselves, if PC wasn't so rampant throughout the world.

[GeronL]

well, thats a good name but remember the point was to prove that we CAN'T give information to the government and pay its taxes and obey its laws... Freedomism sounds like we can do whatever....

Its supposed to be heavy-handed in order to convince them that we have strict laws against doing those things.

we're talking religion here, LOL

[summer]

But, the name represents: FREEDOM TO HAVE SOME PRIVACY. How's that interpretation?

[GeronL]

Freedomist holidays??

sounds like everyday... um... hhmm

[summer]

Now, what is that holiday George Costanza celebrates in his family on Seinfeld? Maybe that can be our big one -- "FESTIVUS." That sounds good: FREEDOMISTS CELEBRATE FESTIVUS, THE HOLIDAY FOR THE REST OF US.

[Cobra64]

Well, Boys and Girls, there will be a revolution in the streets. The folks in Detroit, MI will slowly wake up and there will be... ____ fill in the blanks.

My family live in upstate NY, and all of us come from the Christian ethic.

The crap desribed in this article will not hold water with 98% of the American population.

W better get off his "Love Muslims" soap box, because there will be scenarios in the USA that none of us want to see on television.

CCW is increasing, and will increase at a geometric rate.

I grew up in the 1960s and read of the riots in Chicago, Newark, and LA. That experience will be child's play compared to what is festering today in the USA.

When we're hit next by Muslims, I predict that times will change again in our country.

Mark my words. We're in deep shit with what is blossomed since September 11 and the lawyers supporting the conduct of the Muslims in disobeying AMERICAN LAW!

[buckman10_2000]

they revoked her drivers license,now they should revoke her right to be in this country and throw her the hell out!!!!!!

[mvpel]

So since when does the State get to license the right to travel freely on the public roadways in one's private property on personal business? That's the underlying question here.

[summer]

Hey, people who want their kids in school to be praying have to send their kids to a private school -- and pay tuition. How come the government doesn't bend over backwards to comply with their wishes? Make half the public schools secular, and half of them religious. Does our government do that? Or, does the government say: You don't like a public school without religion? Well, then, go to a private school for religion.

[summer]

Most roads are public property. The state has the right to make laws concerning these roads -- and who uses them.

[JohnHuang2]

Well, I was thinking of starting a religion anyways... wanna join?

Bump!

[nopardons]

If these women are such devout Muslims, then they should NOT have a driver's liscence, nor leave their houses without an aduly, male, family member. Isn't that what the REALLY devout Muslim say ? And what's with having a job ? We all know, now, that Muslim women shouldn't be allowed to work.

If Saudi Arabia demands that OUR women, who are serving in the military ( and saving their sorry butts ) have to oney theri laws and dress codes, then te same applies for those who live here! At least here, unlike in many Muslim countries, there is FREEDOM to practice their religion.

If they don't like or laws, they can always leave. : - )
