#135 Freetoken,

I’ll move from the bottom of your comments to the top. The line isn’t clear, which is why cases regarding church and state keep moving up to the Supreme Court.

Now to the real point, she’s just expressing an opinion, not doing a footnoted scholarly article. She’s a little peeved. But she tried to state her case once again. She’s not making any outrageous claims, like Ben Stein made—although, you’ve got to argue with Stein, you can’t just dismiss him. But she isn’t even doing that. But if you read the Spectator article and something strikes you as nefarious—that’s how you see it. Okay.
