I claim that the evidence is that there are large numbers of serial law breakers that qualify them to fall under the Rico statutes of serial law breakers. They could be imprisoned in huge numbers! Instead the Freedom From Religion and American Atheists and perhaps more just sued them and I do not see any comments in the articles about there being serial breakers of the law with impunity. Smile!

Respect to you ppl

That meant Ross was stranded in Ohio without a ride to his mother’s house and sister’s funeral.

That’s when Ohio State Highway Patrol Sgt. David Robison showed up.

“I broke down crying and he saw the sincerity in my cry,” Ross wrote.
“He REACHES OVER AND BEGAN PRAYING OVER ME AND MY FAMILY,”

Mr. Farah (I assume), How did the court cases in which you testified turn out? You seem to believe that only the Congress of the U.S. is denied the right to impose a religion or require each of us to choose one and that any other governmental unit can do so. I believe that is not the opinion of the Supreme Court and most if not all the lower courts. Correct me if my recollection fails me.

Aside from his failure to respect the Constitution in this one area, the sheriff may be exemplary in protecting the residents of his community. Expressions of the christian faith by businesses and public officials were accepted by most Americans until fairly recently, especially in rural areas. These public displays marked a few religious holidays in communities populated by christians and a small number folks largely indifferent to religion and were not perceived as attempts by anyone to establish religion.

Hmmm….exactly how was American Atheists harmed? Why do the taxpayers of a small county in Tennessee have to pay American Atheists located in New Jersey?
Forget the misdirection of who is responsible…please…how was Dave..I mean American Atheists harmed?

Even then, look at how much support Sheriff Joe gets. And so many others across the country are also probably steadfastly supported. I’m betting this guy is being backed by a majority of constituents, all helping to elevate him to Martyr status. But kudos to AA. Let’s keep taking them down one at a time if we have to.

Good day gentlemen. I wondered how long it would take to resort to name-calling. Never let facts get in the way when a good insult will do…

Quotes corrected. That being said, the point is still to keep the moronic sky-fairy believers and the nonsense they spew from our government. If you can’t figure that out and you’re going to just parse quotes, you qualify as a moron…!
