(Federal judge orders school to allow kindergartener to pray before snack)
So what you're saying is that two teachers who happen to be ignorant of what the 1st amendment really says (oh hell, I'll give this one to you - those two teachers are idiotic assholes who are suppressing those kids' rights) means that all "liberals" are evil and are trying to abolish god. If you'll note from the article, a federal judge (a member of the group you guys are always accusing of being activist judges who write their own laws) has ordered the school to allow the kid to pray. The school is the one that's in the wrong, the "horrible liberal judge" is trying to stop the school.
It can often help to make your case when you only tell half the story - -that is, until someone digs up the other half. ..
