The problem of Freedom of Religion and Religious Tolerance in the United States has not to do with Religion but with the First Amendment to that Constitution expounding,

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

and is taken as written to mean that there will be no Official Religion of the State. Agreed and SCOTUS has also.

Islam, unfortunately for those wishing to lump it with other practicing faiths, is a State Religion, with a set of governmental laws controlling all facets of quotidian Muslim life. To avoid Apostasy, all Muslims must subscribe to the law of Shari’a as found in the Q’oran.

Everything is covered from sanitary habits to how and when to beat your wife plus honor killings, proper method of stoning,  beheadings, apposite disposal of homos, Jihads, lawyer free divorces and winking at sheep. That’s just a few of the high points.
Proper and improper display of chattel (women), religious tours (mandated), Usury, and schooling offspring (males) are described and proscribed.

This link will give you the moderate Islamic methodology of dealing with unbelievers.

This is not the sum of all controlling authority. To insure a more harmonious society, religious police perform nanny duties with great vigor.

Given all this, explain how THIS “RELIGION” fits the First Amendment prohibition of Establishing an Official State Religion, the one that wishes to erect a mosque in lower NYC as an act of ‘healing’.

We have been instructed by those souls, quietly standing with placards, that we must ban nukes. Radiation lasts 1000 years; it is the most insidious thing on earth. What happens to that radiation that lasts 1000 years?

In 1945 two cities were going to find out the long term effects of the most invidious creation on earth. They did, as these photos attest.

Which is more insidious - the A-bomb, or Progressive/Socialist welfare programs?

Which is more invidious- ending a war and saving millions of lives by not having to invade or destroying lives through promises created to buy the votes of those who want someone to take care of them?

Which has caused more long term destruction.

  Only a Progressive/Socialist could care less.

You don’t need much more EXPLANATION than this unless you’re STUPID.

Scotus will not be a staid scholarly branch of government. Nay, the Constitution will be whipsawed until the very edges of the paper fray and the ink slides off into the corners of the chambers.

The NEA is going to face the same knife as the British art scene is experiencing now. Here in Proggy Land, let the pompous and haughty Left scratch under their sofa cushions for the coinage to drop in the turnstiles at the Met, MOMA or the National Gallery. This will give them some measure of humility

The first program to cut is PBS. Let the Lefty swells pay for their precious Lehrer News Hour. The same goes for NPR; A Prairie Home Companion takes on real meaning when it’s your phone call during pledge week footing the bill. .Besides, paying for their own programming will give them a sense of accomplishment, heretofore lacking in their bereft lives.
The following is from the WAPO.

British government moves to dramatically cut public funding for the arts

[snip]
But now cash-strapped and desperate to slash the largest budget deficit in Europe, the new ruling coalition of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats is moving to close the curtain on an era of what they describe as excessive government patronage. [snip]

The move underscores the profound changes in the role of government that are taking place from Greece to Spain to Britain. It happens as European nations scramble to rein in runaway spending, in part by slashing public funds to sectors that came to survive — even thrive — because of them. [snip]

Panicked curators, artistic directors and art critics are warning of London’s potential fall from the vanguard of the global arts scene. In danger, for instance, are the same government-funded institutions that helped produce such films as “The Last King of Scotland” and “The Constant Gardener” as well as Broadway- and Hollywood-bound stage works such as “Jerusalem” and “War Horse.” The Royal Shakespeare Company has warned that it might be forced to scale back or do away with international productions altogether.

Alistair Spalding, artistic director of London’s cutting-edge Sadler’s Wells dance theater, said it may have no choice but to abandon the kinds of projects that helped redefine London’s street art scene. Those include recent pieces like “Electric Hotel,” which turned an abandoned plot of land into a venue where passersby became voyeurs as dancers moved behind transparent walls. “There is a crisis and cuts need to be made, but the arts are being singled out,” he said. “This is going to seriously damage the image of London as a cultural hub.”

If this production is so moving, such a must see that travelers flock to London, just for that, put up veiled translucent walls and CHARGE ADMISSION!

The cuts are set to be so deep that some observers say even the famously free London museums might need to consider admission fees, potentially affecting the pockets of millions of tourists who flock to the British capital each year. [snip]He insisted that the best works, regardless of their subject matter, would find sponsors. He noted the case of “Enron,” a British play that started in government-supported theater before finding private backers for a commercial run in London’s West End. This, he said, despite what he called the work’s “anti-capitalist themes.”

“To be honest,” he said, “I think we should spend more time recognizing that [the private sector] is prepared to fund the arts because they believe it’s the right thing to do, and less time implying this will bring with it some form of censorship.”

If there is actually something of artistic quality produced, getting private funding isn’t all that difficult. Some of the-er-ah-performance art being foisted off as “brilliant-a phenom-strikingly forward” and all the other garnishes applied to the usual drek will die a deservedly quick death.

You know the kvelling mantra. If you don’t buy-look-fawn over-donate-approve-talk about the Left’s socially correct ART, you are guilty of CENSORSHIP.
TSK-TSK-TSK, You certainly are in need of re-education at one of the camps of a stricter regime.

Sen. John Kerry skips town on sails tax

Sen. John Kerry, who has repeatedly voted to raise taxes while in Congress, dodged a whopping six-figure state tax bill on his new multimillion-dollar yacht by mooring her in Newport, R.I. [snip]

 But instead of berthing the vessel in Nantucket, where the senator summers with the missus, Teresa Heinz, Isabel’s hailing port is listed as “Newport” on her stern.

Could the reason be that the Ocean State repealed its Boat Sales and Use Tax back in 1993, making the tiny state to the south a haven - like the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Nassau - for tax-skirting luxury yacht owners? [snip]

The NEA and the unions are working together to bring the new curriculum to your darlings, lest they have any untoward hangup in later life of aahhh, delicate matters. The Magisterial ONE wishes you to know he endorses the NEA/Jennings program and strives to infuse this love of learning in all K-6 classrooms.
We’ll call it Health Class to fool the parents.

 All sorts of neat things that you never learned in K-6 lessons. Did you know that Junior can hammer his buddy in the cloak room? Yowser! The teach taught him how to prong Sammy three different ways.

Good ole Barney Frank and the rest of the NEA gang will be raising your taxes so that kids from Helena, MT to Billerica, MA to Fayston, VT can get the DILA-THERM and personalized classes is its use.

You’d think that Obama would be one of the first to honor these workers.
Not a peep from him or from Bernie Sanders, a great paladin of the United Workers Party.

How strange that the socialist Germans
would honor the deaths of 125 workers killed
be the government in putting down these protests in 1953.

 

Germany commemorates 1953 workers’ uprising

BERLIN (AP — Germany is marking the anniversary of a failed worker-led uprising against East Germany’s communist rulers that was crushed by Soviet tanks.[snip]

Overall, more than 1 million people took part in some five days of pro-democracy unrest. Historians estimate that some 125 protesters were killed — shot or crushed by tanks — and as many as 15,000 arrested.

The uprising peaked on June 17, with street battles in East Berlin between the workers and Soviet troops and East German police.

How uncaring of the Bamster not to walk the walk after he flaps those lips in pious speechifying. A true liberal er, ah Proggy liar.

 With some luck this will give the Progs and their ilk massive coronaries.

Here is the full text of John L. Perry’s column on Newsmax which suggests that a military coup to “resolve the Obama problem” is becoming more possible and is not “unrealistic.” Perry also writes that a coup, while not “ideal,” may be preferable to “Obama’s radical ideal” — and would “restore and defend the Constitution.” Newsmax has since removed the column from its website.

Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention

By: John L. Perry

There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.

America isn’t the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn’t mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it. So, view the following through military eyes:

You can read the details. If you thinks this is improbable, remember that military officers take an oath to UPHOLD the Constitution, not the Community Organizer.

# Officers swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Unlike enlisted personnel, they do not swear to “obey the orders of the president of the United States.”

# Top military officers can see the Constitution they are sworn to defend being trampled as American institutions and enterprises are nationalized.

# They can see that Americans are increasingly alarmed that this nation, under President Barack Obama, may not even be recognizable as America by the 2012 election, in which he will surely seek continuation in office. [snip]

If the Lefty radicals don’t like it, let them take to the streets-saves rooting them out.
