When I read that the Indiana Senate opened its session with a moment of silence -- OK, 20 seconds -- I didn't think much of it. But apparently it's a symbol of everything that's wrong with this country, all of it caused by our spineless aquiesence to out-of-control courts:
Let's pretend for a moment that Indiana's senators were made of the same stuff as our Founders. As Micah Clark, executive director of the American Family Association of Indiana, points out, "We have had the tradition of invited ministers in Indiana for 188 years. We were hoping that they would have invited a preacher to pray from the podium in Christ's name."
In other words, they should have dared the court to stop it.
Does anyone think President Bush would actually send in federalized National Guard troops to stop a prayer? Even a John Kerry might think twice about doing that.
There, there. Just breathe into a paper bag, and it will be all better.
