"Says nothing about no prayer in school.."
no school/teacher-led prayer in taxpayer-financed public schools.
"nothing about no Christmas displays."
no religious Christmas displays, or 10 Commandments, on taxpayer-financed govt property.
So you'd be OK with Muslims being allowed to pray in school?

Pardon?
"20th century Progressivism is slowly declining them."
Damn, you're a total, lying shill for conservatism. Do you attend ALEC conferences?
It's pretty clear that America started going to in the mid-70s, when the VRWC got organized after the fall of Repug criminal Nixon and in response to the (1960s) progressive victories like Medicare, Medicaid, equal right amendment, le IX, etc.
What progressive policies (as opposed to VRWC), in your dishonest opinion, since 1975 have run USA into a deep, long ditch?
if murder, rape, torture, and slavery are "christian values" then where do I sign up...and then
this is the first thread I can recall where you make any sense...
Yes..I would. I would have no problem with that whatsoever. They're not taking time out of the school day to make all the children do it. Anybody should be able to pray whenever and wherever they want.
if that's the case then I agree as long as you're allowed to pray no matter what religion and it's not a school-sponsored activity

"Anybody should be able to pray whenever and wherever they want."
that's not what the "Christian" Taleban theocrats want.
They want their flavor of the Bible taught in public schools, including their Genesis fairy-tales-as-science, on the taxpayer dollar, and they want public praying to Christian God for all school children, led by the school staff.
There is no God.Ricky Perry talking to his imaginary friends
Rick is working the room. If they were Muslims, he would be bowing to Mecca.
This Christian (rural) idiots will vote for Ricky Bobby exclusively because he's "A good Christian man", no matter how badly his policies and regulations kick them in the head and pocketbook.
The so called war on terror, decline of morals( liberal culture that values superficial values instead of work values), illegal immigration, our generous bloated welfare programs that many people take advantage of, spending money we don't have, etc. I could go and on, but this is what is turning the US into a 3rd world country.
I guess I just come from an old school catholic Mexican family that values family and being loyal to your wife and kids. There's very few families like that nowadays.
The 'old school catholic Mexican family values' that turned Mexico into the hole it is today? No thanks.
Seriously dude?
Not sure what your question is. Whether Mexico is a hole or that 'old school catholic Mexican family values' had anything to do with it?
The last part
Why wouldn't they have a lot to do with it?
If you buy the morals and family values argument for this country, why not for a hole?
About 70% of Latin Americans consider themselves catholics. The only thing their 'superior moral authority' have to show for it is 3rd world country after 3rd world country. Separation of church and state is one of the greatest things to ever happen to this country.
It's because they weren't real Catholics or Christians to begin with but rather they think they were/are. My parents have been married for over 36 years and they have never fought or hit any of us. They instilled good values in us and all of us are successful in our lives and careers.
You and ElNono can't be taken seriously on this argument. Sorry.
I see. The good old 'they claim to be but are not'... that's convenient. But that's inherently the problem with these things. Everybody has their own set of rules, and everyone else that doesn't follow is not a 'true christian'.
My parents have been married for over 40 years, and they instilled good values (including the freedom not to believe in god if we choose not to, even though they're devout catholics), and we've all done pretty good ourselves.
I believe in family values myself, but I don't believe in god and I don't think religion has anything to do with them. Loyalty, protection of your family, etc are commendable values that exist beyond catholicism (or any religion really).
The reality is that there's plenty of successful people that come from divorced families, and there's plenty of catholic ups too.
What's your take on this argument, besides reviewing poster's comments?
