“The ACLU opposes child pornography that uses real children in its depictions. Material, however, which is produced without using real children, and is not otherwise obscene, is protected under the First Amendment.”

You really can’t go around saying the ACLU supports child porn, when they are talking about manufactured images.

As for religious freedom, think about it — one of the reasons we’re perhaps the most religious democracy on the planet is precisely because the government keeps its nose out. We were founded on 18th century principles in which any belief in a deity wasn’t quite what you seem to think it is. Read Jefferson’s abridgement of the Bible for a very good introduction to the basic attitude of the Founders towards Christianity. Would they recognize it today? Lord have mercy, no. And the inroads that have been made in the last 50 years (the “under God” part in the pledge, for example, a part added in the 1950s and that I won’t say despite being a Catholic and a sincere believer in the deity) don’t prove anything except an unwillingness to confront or face our history.

Let me know please.
