re: #39 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

If history has taught us anything, it’s that such protections can be broken, it’s just a matter of finding the right wedge to do the job. In recent years, the wedge tried has been that the word “Creator” and random quotes from our Founding Fathers “prove” that America was intended to be a “Christian nation.”

Personally, I await the day we have a president who can stand up and say that he does not believe in one religion or another. Maybe, if I wish really hard, I’ll see it within my own lifetime.

This will never happen. Ever. Not in a million years. There is FAR too much magical thinking in this country for the electorate to ever accept a freethinker.

It’s a nice dream, but it’s also a hopeless one.
