And, now a message from our first President...

"I have often expressed my sentiments, that every man, conducting himself as a good citizen, and being accountable to God alone for his religious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience."

You know George, that is a fine sentiment! And, I for one, readily agree with it. However, George, it seems the Supreme Court of the land now has a somewhat different opinion on the matter. Yes, yes, George, of course all the various intentions of you and the other Founders are clearly defined in various different writings. Oh. yes, George they are readily available for all the people to see! I have no way of answering that question George! As I've tried to understand it myself! And, I must admit, it is very peculiar indeed!

Well, as best as I can tell. It seems apparent that the present government has become quite adverse to the way you and the others used to handle it. They just don't seem to have the same amount of zeal as you and the others had. And, even worse George, it seems they have no real concern for the welfare of the people at all! Oh no, they don't pay any attention to the Declaration, or the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights, George! In fact, you may not even recognize the documents anymore! It is even rumored the the present President called the Constitution a G*D-DAMNED piece of paper! Can you imagine that! And, you know, he has the same first name as you! Now, George, calm down! You know you can't cross over to the other side! Remember? Your dead to that life. Yes, George, maddening indeed!
