64. So if a Constitutional Ammendment came along...
Edited on Mon Dec-26-05 07:10 PM by Robert Cooper
...ending protection of religious freedoms, you'd be for it?

I'd be alarmed, as it is the fundamental concept of the freedom of conscience that is at stake.

If the state is permitted to persecute those whose freedom of conscience is not in vogue, how long will those in vogue remain so, and what becomes of their freedoms once the pendumlum swings the other way?

How quickly some liberals forget our roots.

Arguing for intolerance is the -other- guy's thing. Liberals never argue for intolerance. We argue for understanding, compassion, and cooperation.

When did that change?

(Edit: And not everyone can afford to homeschool. What of those who must send their children to PS?
