Oh wait, I'm already doing that through President Bush's Faith Based Initiative.<BR/><BR/>Of course all is good as long as you acknowledge that MY GOD is better than your god. Now shut up and bow down to MY GOD because He loves you. If you don't like that, well you can just burn in hell.<BR/><BR/>Please note most of the above is said in jest only!!

It is the most popular plate in the state, and has the other specialty plate beneficiaries (which include both Freemasons and the Shrine, along with every college and sports team in the state) hopping mad, as it has cut into their sales. <BR/><BR/>Of course, it helps that the standard Indiana plate last year looked like a dissolving urinal cake from a distance, and that there is no specialty plate fee for the IGWT tag. So the specialty groups cost more. It was a no-cost way to not have the ugly plate.<BR/><BR/>So, what do you think happened? <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,268058,00.html" REL="nofollow">Lawsuit.</A>Christopher Hodapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201859873755654395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-21206343340275943702008-04-24T12:06:00.000-04:002008-04-24T12:06:00.000-04:00It's interesting that at the time that the Bill of...It's interesting that at the time that the Bill of Rights was being debated, the leading proponants of the nonestablishment clause were the Baptist ministers, particularly in the Southern U.S.<BR/><BR/>These ministers realized that the establishment of any religion would necessarilly mean discrimination against others, and at that time the Baptists were the most discriminated against religious group there was.<BR/><BR/>How times change.
