It seems that traditional American values are being destroyed more and more as time passes. New York and Texas are both poised to repeal important legislation that punishes the use and possession of marijuana. The state of Illinois is in the process of passing legislation to permit the use of “medical” marijuana. There is news that Pennsylvania will soon follow in Illinois’ footsteps. Barack Obama is becoming more and more open to admitting his past drug use. It won’t be long before longhaired liberal dropouts are smoking marijuana cigarettes on every street corner and peddling their narcotics in our elementary schools. And, to make matters worse, Nepeta cataria is still perfectly legal! There is a small glimmer of hope, though. In San Francisco, the Drug Enforcement Agency has been continuing its righteous battle against the sick and dying by raiding “medical” marijuana dispensaries. This might be a gross violation of the 10th Amendment, but the government has a compelling interest in keeping “medical” marijuana out of the hands of the sick and dying. These people should be relying on treatments approved by the federal government, not relying on their doctors. If they really want to be healed, then they should be praying instead of destroying their minds with narcotics.
The Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Case Regarding Endorsing Prayer in School
The Supreme Court of the United States has refused to hear a case concerning whether a High School coach can bow his head in prayer before a game. The dismissal of this case allows for the lower courts ruling to stand; meaning High School coaches have now lost their God given duty to pray. As John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute said, “It’s a sad statement on our rights as Americans that schools are no longer bastions of freedom. We’ve become so politically correct and secularized that religious individuals who seek the same First Amendment rights as others are censored.” This sort of pathological political correctness wouldn’t exist if it were not for the myth of the separation of church and state and the myth of viewpoint neutrality. Regardless of what the Founding Fathers may have actually said or done, anyone living the American Way of Life knows what they really wanted – and they clearly wanted the government to endorse Christianity, especially in large public institutions like schools.
