Oh B/S!! Get a life.
When you put your foot in my faith, I get a tad bit miffed. And when you tout yourself as working hard for your kids' schools, you are getting in my territory because I've been there, done that.
Am I angry? No. Because God knows your intentions. He has the last word, not any of us Freepers.
Oh, so now, it's all right to invoke the name of Jesus? I'll have to start taking notes.
then call the RKBA crew fast!!!
yeah, and he's not real smart, either.
He's also got way too much time on his hands.
(For discussions related to television news that is; I don't know anything about this stupid park bench in Anus Pimple, Georgia, nor do I care.)
Be nice to my lovely state of Georgia, please. :~)
It's THE story of the week. No, the year. We need constant updates (accompanied by severe chastisement, of course) from now until 2006.
Who is anti Christian mister ask alot? Why are you so concerned about the school board since you are not a lawyer? Go away.
Thought ya'll might be interested.

I have no quibble with Georgia. :) I was just trying to highlight the silliness of this story.

One of his last assignments was producing from the crash site of United Flight 93 on 9/11. David also produced coverage of major national and international events, including the Pope's visit to Cuba, the 1998 Northern Ireland Peace Referendum, and the 1992 Middle East Peace Conference.

Interesting that you don't direct a similar comment to Smyrna AUSSC stooge Ed Buckner.
From the article:
Smyrna resident Ed Buckner, secretary of the local chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said the bench message clearly violates state and federal Supreme Court law, which regulates religious content on public property.Mr. Buckner is a tad offbase on several counts:"It implies to anyone who sees it that the government is endorsing that particular point of view," he said.
He said the school should remove the bench or face the potential of a costly lawsuit.
Finally, there is one other comment that might be cleared up a bit:
I don't know why so many of you are so angry at a taxpayer raising a legitimate issue to an elected representative...something the school board is quoted as saying they appreciated.
I think most people here have no problem with a taxpayer raising a legitimate issue to elected representatives. I think the objectionable thing is that you apparently made your question and the school board's response a "news" item and brought it to the attention of the local newspaper there. By making it a news item, you appear to be waving a flag to try to draw attention to the issue so that deep pockets like the ACLU will come in and file the litigation that you say you do not intend to file.
As "Smyrna resident Ed Buckner, secretary of the local chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said the bench message clearly violates state and federal Supreme Court law." so there you have it. "Supreme Court Law" has been violated!
Further down in all about Dave: "PERCEPTION IS REALITY IN TODAY'S WORLD"
Well, THAT about sums this whole thing up. He's sounding just like a liberal.
True. I wouldn't ban him. After all, where else, but FR, could he get the national exposure he needed for his boneheadedness. He could be our new MurryMom.
On a lighter note: How's Bobbie Batista doing these days?
Shouldn't you ping MM when you mention her in a post. Of course she might consider it a compliment to be compared to this guy.
