"Mail-order minister Barry Lynn's Americans United for Separation of Church and State – a group curiously devoid of both Americans and churchgoers – sued little Chester County, Pa., demanding that it remove a Ten Commandments plaque that has hung on the courthouse wall since 1920" They lost in court. it is still hung on the courthouse although was covered while under court review.

How about a truce? The intolerant religious fanatics in the red states will continue not complaining about high taxes, secular education and gay-rights parades in the blue states, and the proponents of tolerance in the blue states will stop bothering everyone in the red states. I'm shocked. Just shocked. Having read another piece you posted this morning that portrayed one side as choir boys and the other as the devil (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=19628581), I was expecting more of the same. Imagine my surprise when she acknowledged that there are professional busybodies on both sides and that both sides should just chill. Which is exactly what they should do. Everybody mind their own business. If someone's Constitutional rights aren't being trampled, then it's no one's business if people pray or portray transvestite Mrs. Clauses. The article was funny, in Coulter style, so perhaps she was just joking about the solution. But I'd dearly love to see someone of her prominence seriously advocate a truce.
