Freedom From Religion : Madison Wis. - The Workers Paradise

WOW! Madison Wisconsin - who would have thought we would have such a cool organization as the 'freedom from religion' in our town - yikes - I wonder why Madison is known as 'the workers paradise' - 'Moscow on Lake Mendota' - 'please no right turns'.

They say they are being discriminated against - What? 300 million people say it okay to believe in God as our nations guide and have this inscription, In God We Trust, engraved on this new building. Twenty (20) people say they want it stopped because they don't like it - What ever happened to 'majority rule and minority' right? Why is this even being nationally debated?

We have more brain dead liberals here than any other city in the world, and not just regular liberals, these people are so far left that Putin blushes when he thinks if only he could have such a city in Russia.

Is this mass hypnosis? Maybe these people are genetically different, subhuman? Born without the ability to reason or make sense, that is, no common sense, no morality and therefore no real compassion for the human condition.

The lament of the modern liberal - "I feel your pain, you poor person, but don't touch me"!

Sigh - Keep the faith

Atheists Sue to Kill D.C. 'In God We Trust' Engraving

MADISON, Wis. -- The nation's largest group of atheists and agnostics filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to block an architect from engraving "In God We Trust" and the Pledge of Allegiance at the Capitol Visitor Center in Washington. What Happens Next?

The Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation's lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in western Wisconsin, claims the taxpayer-funded engravings would be an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.

The House and Senate passed identical resolutions this month directing the Architect of the Capitol to engrave "In God We Trust" and the pledge in prominent places at the entrance for 3 million tourists who visit the Capitol each year.

The resolution came in response to critics who complained Congress spent $621 million on the new three-story underground center without paying respect to the nation's religious heritage. The center opened in December after years of construction.

The foundation is seeking a court order to stop the engravings, which the Congressional Budget Office estimates will cost less than $100,000.
"In God We Trust" has been the national motto since 1956 and has appeared on U.S. currency since 1957.

The lawsuit says both the motto and the words "under God" in the pledge were adopted during the Cold War as anti-communism measures. Engraving them at the entrance to the U.S. Capitol would discriminate against those who do not practice religion and unfairly promote a Judeo-Christian perspective, it says.

The group also is challenging the constitutionality of the National Day of Prayer in federal court. In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that foundation members could not sue to stop parts of President George W. Bush's faith-based initiative.
