Without taxation, they should get no representation.

Conservative Christians who don't believe in church/state separation always seem to be looking for new excuses to justify efforts to have the government promote, endorse, and encourage their religion. They haven't convinced the courts that it's legitimate for any level of government to promote religion, so they have to make up some "secular" reason for whatever religious monkey-business they are trying to defend.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://atheism.about.com/b/a/259342.htm">In this contradiction it should become absolutely clear just how disingenuous conservative legal and religious groups can be when they try to defend assaults on the separation of church and state. They tell their supporters that they are defending religious speech and the ability of Christians to ensure that America is a Christian Nation; they tell the courts, however, that there are no genuinely or wholly religious messages involved in the first place.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FB8C3E05-C45E-4853-ADB5-C2B1D7840441/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
