Yeah, let's see, "Congress shall make no law regarding the
establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...
" It's amazing that conservative anythings (republicans or otherwise)
just can't seem to find anything in this clause that should prohibit the
ability of people to celebrate Christmas or wish one another "Merry
Christmas in public places" Those rascally conservatives just seem to
get all bent out of shape that a few judges have seemed to ignore the
"shall not prohibit the free exercise thereof" clause and interpreted
this to mean that any expression of faith in a government office or by a
government officer is somehow forbidden. (Unless of course the religion
is Islam, then that is to be encouraged, taught, and disseminated)

Same thing with the second amendment -- somehow, the "people" are no
longer the "people" when the constitution is talking about guns.
