The American Religious Civil War (ARCW) is not going well for the forces of freedom in Kentucky. The body count is alarming. If future picnics of the Sons and Daughters of the ARCW are to celebrate victory for our American way of life, rather than sadly speculate how our "nation of laws not of men" became a "nation not of laws but of sins," it is time for patriots to heed the signal lights and to kick the enemy out of our bed.
Should the ARCW be lost, the reason will be that we let traitors sell our birthright for a mess of political pottage.
Thus, with the appalling duplicity or ignorance of one favoring substituting fanaticism for freedom, right-to-run-your-lifer Fred Summe, in pious pronunciamento against "partial birth abortion," a term as foreign to medicine as "abortion" is to scripture, treasonably opines, "(I)t is crucial that the voters elect a president and senators who...promise to appoint and confirm justices who hold the Judeo-Christian principles..." (Ky. Post 8/16/00). In that the Constitution he has sworn, in his attorney's oath, to protect and defend says there shall be no religious test for any public office, and in that We The People refuse to tolerate any government that dares try to establish it's idea of a "correct" religion, a prosecutor in a trial for treason could read those un-American words and rest.
More frightening, Kentucky U.S. Senator Bunning wants his religious code placed in public places. He seems to think the Ten Commandments, that tell which god to worship, and when and how to worship that god, are not religious. One wonders just what, in his view, a religious code might be.
And Kentucky's U.S. Representative Lucus, who claims to champion "privacy," sides with the treason of the Summes, rather than with the Constitution won for us at great cost with blood and steel, in proclaiming that his religious dogmas regarding human sexual choices should replace the laws of this land that he too has sworn to defend.
Not understanding American freedoms, they are unfit to speak for a free people. They defile the graves of our martyrs.
