When it comes to the daily News items I post I don't verify or
vouch for them. I let whoever wrote them make valid points or make a fool
of themselves. I gather and post them to let people see what is out there
on both sides of the issue.
I post them to inform without commentary and to let others see the
valid and the off the wall that appear from various sources.
I include the source and a URL so that anyone can get to the
original source and if they feel inclined to do so, challenge anything in
the article directly with the author.

The document, which was released through the office of Rep. Rosa DeLauro
(D-Conn.), quizzically states, "We believe the separation of church and
state allows for our faith to inform our public duties." It is unclear how
the Catholic faith of Ms. DeLauro informs her to vote "no" on vouchers for
private and parochial schools, oppose school prayer, oppose a law banning
physician-assisted suicide, oppose faith-based charity initiatives, support
embryonic stem-cell research, oppose banning gay adoption, and maintain a
perfect 100 percent approval rating by the pro-abortion group NARAL.

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,

USAF LT. COL (Ret) Buffman (Glen P. Goffin) wrote
"You pilot always into an unknown future;
facts are your only clue. Get the facts!"
That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good
many combat missions and far too many scary, inflight, emergencies.
It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
