issodhos you are just baiting here. There is no disagreement other than the one you are trying to foment.

What a waste of brain waves.

Citizens can petition for anything they want -- even religious prejudice, if indeed that is what they are motivated by. That does not mean that they will be successful.

No matter how you slice the cake, Issodhos, there should be no real objection to what is proposed. It's just one more issue for the...dare I use the words...rabid right? to get all frothy at the mouth and hydrophobic about. For them to send countless emails back and forth telling themselves how sickening it is that Muzlims are allowed to live in this Christian nation at all.

Fortunately, your claims do not provide a basis for fact or truth, Ponderer. On several occassions I have posted socialists who I strongly disagree with but still recognize their integrity. As to principled pols being few and far between in my postings, that may be because pols with integrity are few and far between. But, I also understand your need to continue to cover for the utterly corrupt party of your choice. You have been constant in doing that.;-)

I am sure you are attempting to say something .... but what does what you say differ from what I said, and keep in mind that topic of this thread, not your mind-thread.

Is that a giant "finger"?
No. It is actually a graphical representation of the voter's trust and hope in President Obama. Hint: the middle column represents inaugaration night. Extrapolate from there.
Yours,

Is it too soon to put Catholic Churches next to play grounds?
Is that what we're saying?

Catholics can put a church next to a school, but should they?
