But being a communist heathen, I don't expect you to acknowledge this.

The Constitution protects our rights to pray publicly no matter what our office. There is no right not to be offended in our Constitution. The establishment clause only prevents the government from making Christianity law. Period. Even a government official has the right to pray in Jesus' name wherever he/she want, and there is nothing in the Constitution to prohibit that. No one is forced to pray WITH them, only that they TOLERATE it. Funny now libs scream tolerance isn't it? No one loses their religious freedom simply because of the office or job they take. The rights Christians are pushing for are already written and established, which is why prayer during graduation is being abolished. IT IS ALREADY LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL.

If I were in the audience I would have ignored her or laughed at her, just as I would have an idiot jabbering on about a particular kind of music or how his love of football carried him through to graduation. Hell, you have to expect a certain amount of token proselytizing in a bumpkin town in rural Georgia; at least no blacks, Jews or gays were lynched. Sometimes the does ACLU does go overboard, but if Christians would quit their tireless agitating and pleading for special rights, it wouldn't be necessary. But Christians will continue with their wayward hatemongering and the ACLU will remain an extraordinarily powerful and much-needed foil to the machinations of the godly.
