United States Bill of Rights

NPR's Nina Totenberg reports.

The first line of the Bill of Rights says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

But what happens when these two provisions clash? In this week's case, the question is whether a taxpayer-funded program that provides pre-K schooling for all four-year-olds in the state must include a religious group, in this case the Catholic Archdiocese of Denver, which bars the children of gay and trans parents from the pre-K program.

If the church prevails, the next target is likely to be charter schools.

That's what this whole country should be about.

And the great Bill of Rights that we do have.

But not to pontificate from my side.

On page 48 of your book and 49, the book entitled The Democrat Murder of America, Demagoguery in the First Degree, you list specifically, as you describe it, the Democrat list of stupidity.

Get into a little depth on this because it is so part and parcel, in my opinion, to why people need to pay attention to the choices they make in this midterm election.

Well, two things about that.

First of all, the Constitution requires in Article VI, not Amendment VI, the first ten amendments are the Bill of Rights.

The articles are just kind of outlining government responsibilities and policies.

Other titles for the Free Press.

Should I get a gun? Teaching immigrants the Bill of Rights.

The death of the summer job.

Saving a lamb from the slaughter.

Free speech for some, but not others, such as critics of the party and the state.

The entire Bill of Rights will be at risk, the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth, and tenth amendments.

And since the Democrats will control the Supreme Court, there will be nowhere to go to get our rights back.

This is the plan.

And we see that Bill O'Reitz is drunk drinking booze.

And the Bill of Rights asks, what did I do?

What did

I do? And it vomits.

And Bart and Lisa laugh.

And Bart's like, Lisa, that's not funny.

You believe in the Bill of Rights.

So he's like, I don't know whether it's the lack of sleep, the sodium pentothal, or that it's the only cartoon I've seen in two months.

I do want to look at our foundational documents because there is an attack on the concept that America is a Christian nation, as you referenced, and as we all know, if we took a little time with it.

But if we look back at the Declaration of Independence, if we look at the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, God is all over those documents, despite what the deniers say.

Absolutely.

And, you know, I'm sure you've heard that word.

So we need to stand very firm on that, and that's part of the reason why I claim that we are a Christian nation.

Because that appeal to the Creator, that is written right into our documents, and those documents are linked.

The Constitution is linked back to the Declaration as is the Bill of Rights.

So we are very much a Christian nation.

It needs to be protected.

If you need to envision something tangible, just think about the Bill of Rights, speech, the ability to protect yourself, freedom of association, religion, press, assembly, the right to petition the government, unreasonable search and seizure, due process, double jeopardy, speedy trial and jury trial, excessive bail, cruel and unusual punishment.

You get the picture.

All of that is good.
