"The only foundation for... a republic is to be laid in Religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments." ~Dr. Benjamin Rush

Why We Whisper
I heard an interview a couple of weeks ago with Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) who has written a book, "Why We Whisper: Restoring Our Right to Say It's Wrong." We have slowly given up our First Amendment rights to speak up against wrongs. This has happened subtly over time with the appointment of judges with lifetime tenure who are judicial activists more interested in making law rather than interpreting it. The American public, espcially conservatives, should be outraged. It is ironic that while our First Amendment right to speak against that which is contrary to Western values, those who embrace everything except traditional values are given a pass. Senator DeMint's blog is here where he writes about these issues. I recommend a look at it.
