GOP has lock on South and Democrats Can't Find Key

[??????????]

Why don't nativity scenes belong at courthouses? Are you are religious bigot like Opebo? No wonder your party can't win any real office.

As you see blatently glaring in my user name, I am a Jew. I also think that displaying nativity scenes, etc., is perfectly fine. How is it hurting anyone? Does it say "believe in the Lord or die" on it? Atheist values are imposed on school children and the rest of society, at least up here in the northeast, daily, and to just show a religious symbol in a public place is not invading anyone's liberties, but it is displaying our libery of Freedom of Speech, which you liberals hold so dearly.

I agree completely.  There's something wrong with a philosophy that argues that people have the absolute, inalienable right to expose children to gratuitous sex and violence through the airwaves without any restriction and regulation, but if you display a nativity scene, it must be suppressed.

It isn't even against religion - only the Christian religion.  Those same people would move heaven and earth to protect for Muslims the rights that they seek to deny to Christians.

We live in an age characterized by a tyranny of the minority (I'm speaking of opinions, not ethnicity).  Holders of minority opinions have been quite successful, because of a twisted interpretation of the constitution, in denying the majority basic rights.

You can display all the stinking nativity scenes you like - but the GOVERNMENT cannot!

Why can't the government display it?

Because it implies that the US government holds a specific religion in higher regard than another, or that religious values are better than atheist or agnostic ones. 

And since when did science become an atheist value?  Teaching children FACTS is not promoting any kind of belief, it's promoting an understanding and sense of the world around them.  Having religion in schools is basically saying that it is ok for public schools to teach a groundless faith as if it were hard fact. 

The US Government is not nor ever has been based on any Agnostic or Atheistic beliefs. Revise history all you want but the facts still hold strong.
