If it's a fact, suport it. You were not able to do it when you were 7days or Dapoes and I doubt you have learned much since you were away but go ahead and surprise us, prove your point. How is government support of religious displays on public property different from government support for wash basins?

That is a dismissive comment, not an argument for your position.
Sure, anyone can write anything on the internet, so you have to engage in a little critical thinking... contrary to the Texas GOP's ideas, yes, but necessary.
Prior to the internet and GOogle, and xcpt for going ot college to study History or Religous Studies, there was the library... and then you only got to read what one of the established publishers thought they could sell, and sell a lot of.
Which is really better?
FWIW, this country was founded primarily onthe principles of the The Enlightenment and The Reformation. Sure, a lot of the founders attended church, but only John Jay was a fervent Christian. The rest were mostly deists, Quakers, FreeMasons, and the like.
They were all of them, along with all of the regular folks who fought the revolution and actually created teh United States, were definitely progressives, and, eventually, radically so. The Conservatives of the day were the Loyalists and Tories.
There are good, recent, biographies of John Adams, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. They all provide insight into the events of the times, the motivations of the individuals and the various factions, the guiding principles, as well as the heartfelt differences and heated arguments that led to the formation of this country. "Founding Brothers" is another good one, that is easier to read.
It is popular for the so-called "conservatives" of today to ridicule the educated. The founders were not igonorant followers. They thought, critically. They explored new ideas. They embraced change, and made it happen.
You haven't actually responded to anything anyone on this thread has said with a cogent argument. I find that interesting, and, revealing.
Have you actually ever read the Constitution? Have you studied what it means and how it came to be? Have you actually read any history, or studied any other cultures?
Perhaps you should, before you make foolish statements and false arguments in public.

Quips and feeble attempts at dismissal are de rigueur for her, and anything you write that runs counter to the regressive, venal talking points she's bought into will go nowhere.
Shame, really.

Wake up kiddies, hell is at the door.
Don't worry, they're only kidding.
“This is what the Muslim Brotherhood really stands for: the extermination of Israel – and Jews everywhere – as well as the spread and control of radical Islam over the world,” he told The Jerusalem Post.
“How anyone can fail to see this boggles the mind – yet its denial is virtual dogma in the global mainstream media, US government and Western academia today,” said Stock, who has translated a number of books by the Nobel Prize-winning Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz.

What ever you say Garfield. Pretty funny coming from a hermaphrodite who substitutes a link to support its claim with the "If i recall' acronym. Thanks for "downshifting".

The irony. Calls me out for not proving a point then offers no proof to support his statement "Knot has been around here under different names". Some really impressive Progressive Smart power you got going there.

With that said, look into who's running the Islamic dog and pony show at the DNC convention.
Who is Imam Siraj Wahhaj and what do you know of him?
How about Jibril Hough?
