For the past few days, the libtards in North
Carolina have been going crazy. Two
republican lawmakers from Rowan County were pushing for a resolution that protected
the citizens of this state from the bullying tactics of the ACLU and the
federal government.
But the
resolution delved deeper.
It acknowledges
that the U.S. Constitution prevents Congress from creating an official
religion.
But the First
Amendment prohibition, the resolution argues, doesn’t apply to states, counties
or towns – despite federal court rulings to the contrary. It asks the
legislature to adopt a resolution supporting their right to set up their own
religious laws.
And that is the
true interpretation of the Bill of Rights.
The Anti-Federalist wanted a guarantee that the newly established
central government would have limitations.
Our Constitution wouldn’t have been ratified without one. The
Marshall Court acknowledged that the Bill Rights applied only to the federal
government and not the States. That
ruling was Barron v. Baltimore.
You’d think
that this would be universally known in the United States. It isn’t.
Listen to the local “talent” on 1110 WBT. You’d think the Bill of Rights put limitations
only on the States and us citizens. These
so-called broadcast specialists have resorted to name calling, and questioning
the intellect of anyone who disagrees with them. And as you’d expect, the editors at the
Charlotte Observer had to get their two cents in. Here is the renowned scholar, Fanny Flono:
This week some N.C. lawmakers are
putting an exclamation point on the line from Forrest Gump: “Stupid is as
stupid does.” A bill proposed by two of them that says North Carolina and its
counties and towns have the right to establish an official religion is getting
the loudest national heehaws at the moment, and deservedly so. This crackpot
bill states boldly that though the U.S. Constitution prevents Congress from creating
an official religion, that ban does not apply to the states.
Even conservative N.C. religious
leaders don’t buy that interpretation. But there’s one thing for sure, if those
two lawmakers attended N.C. public schools they made the most compelling argument
yet for overhauling the state’s education system.
Actually Fanny, you and the rest the
libtards that infest this state, need to pick up a history book. You can start
with Anti-Federalist papers. After that,
read the speeches at North Carolina’s constitutional convention. But that would mean, putting away your People’s
Magazine.
