Miller is a DINO - Democrat in Name only. Never was a real Democrat. Never will be a real Democrat.

Nothing wrong with moral decency. We ought to have TV that families can watch. But who'd a thunk you'd need the v-chip to watch the Super Bowl? I think that this slide into indecent exposure on television is boring. I liked it better when things were a little less explicit. Once you're naked...well you're naked, and the story is over. The best authors run out of pages before the whole story is told. But calling for religious artifacts to be installed in public places, or prayer to be required in public schools is not in accordance with the law. Read it Zell says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." By requiring the artifact or prayer of one religion to be displayed or read in a public place, one would be prohibiting the free exercise of another religion. Since we can't have artifacts from every religion and prayers for every religion, it's best to leave these things to people's place of worship, where congress has no business interfering with them there. We don't need a constitutional amendment prohibiting gays from marriage. That's a red herring. Even Bush has called for allowing Civil Unions. Most prominent republicans have said this is a states issue. This whole amendment business is pure politics by Bush. This will end up costing the US tax payer millions of dollars, and the amendment will never pass. What ever happened to less government? Or is it less government except when legislating morality? Even God gave man free will. Now the republicans want to legislate that away too. Orca

re: Deficit of Decency in America: Amen. I agree 100%. There is an immense deficit in decency, in America. And it's all because people don't take the Bible literally, and don't do exactly what God plainly says to do. For instance, God said: "Thou Shalt Not Kill." But all those pseudo-Christians, Moral Relativists, Creative Re-Interpreters, think that God couldn't have really meant it quite like that. Not exactly. Not totally. They read the above, and decide that what God really meant to say was: "Thou shalt not kill, except if the government says it's OK, except for criminals convicted of really nasty crimes, except if someone is trying to kill me, or attack my nation, or I think they are about to attack my nation, or might attack us......someday, or the Bad Guys have intentions of doing WMD-related program activities..... and it's OK to kill while doing God's work (defeating those Others who may look human but are really Devils) and it's OK to kill in any cause, for any end, that I am told is Good, or at least a Lesser Evil. And it's OK to make war, as long as I always convince myself it's a defensive war, and that I am the aggrieved party, and keep telling myself that the ultimate goal is peace, and that the killing I do today is a Necessary Evil in the latest War To End All Wars And Make Eternal Peace; except when..... except if..... except to...."
