You could go to their front page and take their poll - but then they would have to disgard the results....

The Louisiana American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is recommending that officials at a public school in New Orleans be "fined or jailed" for failing to stop prayer before a high school baseball game last month.

Invoking the nuclear option -- there is no other option
David Limbaugh
April 8, 2005
I think Republican Party honchos may be underestimating the grassroots passion over the judiciary. The outrage against activist courts -- and by no means are all of them activist -- is real, growing and far from a fringe phenomenon.
Scouting makes a difference
Rebecca Hagelin
April 8, 2005
The orange flames of the firelight reflected in his glimmering eyes and made his young face glow like a new moon. The other small campers sat around in nervous, rapt attention as the nine-year-old boy told his breathless ghost story. While marshmallows turned black in the campfire and we huddled to stay warm, I thought to myself, “This is the good stuff.”
Gay Marriage and the Deliberate Sense
Paul J. Cella III
Claremont Institute
April 8, 2005
Soon after last fall's election, a number of commentators began to point out the curious fact that, contrary to conventional wisdom, gay marriage may not have helped President Bush win reelection at all. The conventional wisdom had been (from the Right) that moral issues carried the day, with opposition to gay marriage leading the charge; and (from the Left) that bigotry and intolerance carried the day, with "homophobia" leading the charge. There may be something to this conventional wisdom, however one likes to formulate it. It is possible that gay marriage did get Bush re-elected—mostly because the issue was on the ballot in Ohio, the state that swung the election to Bush. The statisticians will have to sort that treacherous question out, if indeed a final sorting-out is possible. But what needs no sorting out, because it is plain as day, is the fact that a very large number of people who voted for Senator John Kerry at the top of the ticket—and, we might reasonably infer, voted for Democrats all the way down the ticket—went on to cast their vote against gay marriage. Consider: Bush lost Oregon with 48% of the vote, but a prohibition on gay marriage passed with 57% of the vote. Another blue state, Michigan, resulted in very similar numbers. In decisive Ohio, Bush won with just over half the vote, and a prohibition on gay marriage won 62%. Similarly, in very red Mississippi and Georgia, Bush won with 60% and 58% of the vote respectively, while gay marriage went down resoundingly (86% and 76%). And in this context let us not forget that other blue states, including California, have already passed prohibitions on gay marriage.
More on Memogate II
By Cliff Kincaid
April 8, 2005
The Washington Post believes it has been vindicated by the revelation that a Republican congressional staffer really did write the controversial Republican memo on the political ramifications of the Terri Schiavo case. But this fact is almost beside the point. The memo was never an official Republican document and there's no evidence that any Republican Senator ever read it. The latest revelation adds to the perception that liberal Democrats play the media like a violin.
