The One-Way Door of Separation

Albany County lawmakers today are expected to give a pastor $10,000 to keep up his efforts to get people to turn in their firearms.
How is it a religious group can't put a manger scene on city property at Christmas, but the legislature can hand over wads of dough so a church can effect its beliefs on the public?

If we're going to be consistent about the so-called "wall of separation" the left relies so heavily on, shouldn't it also pose a barrier to their agenda?

Where, oh where is the ACLU, and Americans United Against Non-Marxist Religion?

  1. Martin Niemoeller, a Lutheran priest in Germany, said Nazism was the salvation of the German Republic.
    Then they came for HIM.
    In those days, there were governments that fought to liberate people like him. I can't think of any now. Mistakes are likely to be final and forever.
    Niemoeller survived the war and became one of the foremost advocates of "Never again!"
    Few outside the freedom community have heard of him.

  2. In spite of similar anti-gun campaigns in Canada, gangs nevertheless were able to riot in Montreal over the weekend, "protesting" the death of one of their own in a police shooting by rampaging through neighborhoods and commercial districts with guns(!), propane tank firebombs and Molotov cocktails.

  3. A Google search turned up several lawsuits trying to stop use of government money to fund religious groups, but I didn't find any that succeeded. The courts aren't especially fond of the First Amendment either.
