Let them go for the throat of Christians and let us be willing to take it. Time to get it on. The victory of big brother 'or big sister' is our moral cowardice. Would we had the panache of the 'Gladiator' who didn't much care about meeting his end -- as long as he pushed his blade of retribution into Commodus' worthy 5th rib. Civil disobedience to an ungodly Judiciary is long overdue. It is time to just say no and force the ‘big government’ to take hostile action.

That's because no one else had read it; or if, on the outside chance they had, they never got past the title. Back during the gas crises of the '70s and '80s, management was required to post signs at work encouraging people to conserve energy. It probably took more energy to make the signs than they will ever save. So how effective are such posters (other than send a subliminal message)? “She (the cafeteria manager) said no one else had asked about the poster…”

We all know how the happy word "gay" has been prostituted by the heterophobes. Remember a time when to be thought of as a "discriminating person" was a compliment? Neither of those words ever had anything to do with race, religion or being confused about what the purpose was for one's sexual organ . The government has now added an eleventh commandment: Thou shalt not eat............(fill in the blank according to fashion of the moment).

Perhaps they are even "liable" if they accept any children who receive Federal benefits. I am not sure about all the details on this, but inviting the camel into the tent with or without a nose is the dumbest thing the Catholic schools in America have ever done.
