Good for them. As a wiccan, I think I will apply for a tribute too!
“We want it to be exclusive”
Let that sink in for a minute.
And THIS is why we have an Establishment Clause.
“We don’t want just every group putting a statue on the Capitol grounds,” Hutchinson said. “We want it to be exclusive…”
Oooh, those arrogant roots are showing, Gov.
…the … Ten Commandments monument is of historical significance…
Whose history? They certainly don’t form the basis of any legal system in the U.S.
“We don’t want just every group putting a statue on the Capitol grounds,” Hutchinson said. “We want it to be exclusive, we want it to be reasoned, we want it to be reflective and I think that’s one of the reasons (the Ten Commandments monument) went through the legislative process to accomplish that.”
Decoded: We only want Judeo-Christian monuments.
Really hope Lord Hanuman makes the cut. It’s always been vastly underrated.
I didn’t even get a 3…2…1 down on this one — WOW !
How brazen of the Satanists!
The Shakespeare line: “Hoisted upon his own Petard” comes to mind.
Here is the real “tell” line in his quote:
“We don’t want just every group putting a statue on the Capitol grounds,” Hutchinson said. “We want it to be exclusive…”
Yeah. Problem is, the US CONSTITUTION directly FORBIDS laws promoting any specific religion.
Give it up boys, the party is over.
Can’t wait for the Satanists to request their Baphomet statue on State grounds. Hilarious.
These ridiculous arguments trying to defend religious favoratism remind me of the lines from The Blues Brothers:
Jake Blues: “Say, just what kind of music do you play here at Bob’s Country Bunker?”
Bob’s Wife: “Why we have BOTH KINDS. Country AND Western!”
Golden irony.
