Good point. But to be honest and perhaps I am getting older and not as left and liberal as I want to believe I am, but I am tired an angry and bitter over losing MY ancestors traditions, the history of our great country, and being treated as if my rights don't matter because some little minority chooses to fill up our legal system with bullshit lawsuits that beg government to solve all their problems with the society my ancestors fought and died for while trying to make a better life for their progeny.

I am tired of hearing how the traditions and morals of this country are too religious. It is that way in every country. Go to any other Judeo Christian founded country and ask their courts to banish the 10 Commandments from their courts or take God's name out of anything public. You would be laughed out of court.

I just truly am tired of watching the morals of this country decline. We can blame the press, we can blame whatever, but the truth is when you take away a spiritual foundation of a nation they will in essence decline into immoral and unethical behaviours. That is in fact what we are seeing in our country now. Divorce up, crime up, drug and all addictions up, this country was founded on people helping others and communities taking care of their own and we are so far from that because we have begged government to interfere in everything. And the irony is the people who cry about the government are the ones begging for more laws and more interference from them.
