-Caveat Lector- Federal Judges Are Anti-christian Politically-correct People In Black Robes By: Dorothy Anne Seese
When will federal judges learn what the Constitution says and apply it correctly? For the past thirty-eight years, the federal judiciary and politically-correct state judges have consistently ruled that Bibles in schools, or teaching Bible classes is "unconstitutional" in a perverted, twisted and irrational interpretation of the First Amendment, which has nothing to say about the so-called "separation of church and state." That phrase is not in the Constitution. Where it was used by the founders, it specifically applied to what the Constitution forbids and that is the creation of a state religion like the Church of England. In spite of the open and unchallenged teaching of Islam and the Koran in at least one public school in Brentwood, California, and the protests of Christian parents, the federal judiciary apparently doesn't see fit to intervene in Muslim affairs. Isn't Islam a religion? Ask the Muslims if it is. But it's a different story in Rhea County, Tennessee, in the town of Dayton which is about 40 miles north of Chattanooga. United States Judge Allan Edgar ordered the three elementary schools to discontinue their 51-year old practice of holding 30-minute Bible classes daily for children from kindergarten through 5th grade on the grounds that "the government may not teach, or allow the teaching of a distinct religious viewpoint." Judge Edgar wrote in his order that such Bible classes "violate the First Amendment's clause calling for separation of church and state." Sorry, Judge, the First Amendment does not say that. I know it and I'm not a lawyer or a judge, and you know it too. The suit was filed by one couple with two children, and an additional plaintiff was the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Is there a chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation in Los Angeles? If so, why aren't they suing on behalf of Christian parents objecting to their children being taught Islam, particularly in light of the high-profile case of the "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh? For those of you who have forgotten the First Amendment, I keep it handy in my computer files for occasions such as this, which are growing more numerous: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Judge Edgar, you and the federal judiciary, including the Supreme Court, are doing exactly the opposite of what the Constitution directs. You are prohibiting the free exercise of religion, and the Christian faith in particular. This is anti-Christian discrimination being conducted by the government in contravention of the plain language of the Constitution, and it began with the Supreme Court decision in June of 1963 that tossed the Ten Commandments out of schools, based on a laborious misconstruction and tortured interpretation of the plain language of the Constitution which has never been amended as to freedom of (not from) religion. You and other members of the judiciary, Judge Edgar, are doing what Congress is specifically forbidden from doing. May I remind you that the Senate has a Chaplain? A Christian Chaplain? How do you suppose that came to be, if there can be no religious activity in government? How about our president's prayer breakfasts? Are those unconstitutional? No one need consult the Senate Chaplain, and one may decline the president's prayer breakfast. Likewise, any children whose parents in Dayton, Tennessee, objected to the teaching were not compelled to attend those Bible classes, they were optional, not mandatory. Judge Edgar, you have supported the anti-Christian religious platform of the New World Order. You and your fellow members of the judiciary are hypocritical and discriminatory in singling out the Christian faith for persecution in America, while ignoring the much-protested teaching of Islam in our public schools. You have also furthered the cause of abrogating the Tenth Amendment rights of states. It is impossible even to teach the correct history of America, the Pilgrims, Puritans, the Mayflower, Plymouth Colony, and the early days of Colonial and Independent America without teaching their beliefs in the Christian faith. The revisionists are certainly going to have to construct a whole new platform of historical mythology to eradicate Christianity from this nation's history. A note to the Christians who are being discriminated against by the very government that is supposed to defend everyone's freedom of religion: Acts 5:29 should be put into practice. It isn't clear whether the Christians are really ready to take a stand for the Lord whom they profess, or whether they clearly comprehend what forces are mounted against them in this nation. "Novus ordo seculorum" isn't just a Latin phrase on the back side of the one dollar bill, it is a program of taking down the Christian faith in America in preparation for its assimilation into the one-world religion, as well as abrogating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Every small victory in a small town is also a precedent for another victory against the Church everywhere in the United States. Court decisions such as this, in flagrant violation of our Constitution, are very irritating to those of us who are strict constructionists. They are a judicial harassment of one particular faith in favor of other faiths that enjoy the First Amendment rights as written even when the adherents of that faith are illegal aliens from Arabic or other Islamic nations. It's not only time for the Supreme Court to review the tortured logic of Roe v. Wade but also the 1963 case brought by the late Madalyn Murray O'Hair and her son. We need our constitutional freedoms and protections restored, not further abrogated. The only purpose being served is to weaken the underpinnings of our nation and the faith of our fathers. Christians have a right to be offended as much as anyone else (who believes in anything else) at the loss of their constitutional rights. When we no longer have a meaningful Constitution and Bill of Rights, we are no longer a sovereign nation!
