When it comes to the daily News/blog/commentary items I post I
don't verify or vouch for them. Some may reflect my views on the topic of
Sep Church & State, just as many do not.
In reading over many of these I find that many, if not most, on
both sides, often times contain errors of legal and or historical fact.
Reader beware, do your own homework. 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.

Missing city leaders have a defender
Uh oh. Our first caller seems happy to blame the messenger.
Talk to me:
# Jan from Marine City: "Why do you people keep bad mouthing the city
commission about the City Hall issue? Monday's article was the last straw.
It's not that the commissioners don't care; why should they take their
Sundays to speak on this issue? They've been talking about it for months,
and all they get is ridiculed when they don't agree with the historical
society. The federal government said we must have separation of church and
state, and I agree. I go to church to pray and go to commission meetings to
hear issues about the city."

.. . . 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,
256 U.S. 345, 349, 41 S.Ct. 506, 507, 65 L.Ed. 963 (1921) (Holmes, J.).

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.
