In The Eyes Of Government

You're Looking At Me As Though I'm Weird. My God! Are You So Out Of Touch With Most Of America, Most Of Which Believes In The Devil? I Mean, Jesus Christ Believed In The Devil! It's In The Gospels! You Travel In Circles That Are So, So Removed From Mainstream America That You Are Appalled That Anybody Would Believe In The Devil! Most Of Mankind Has Believed In The Devil, For All Of History. Many More Intelligent People Than You Or Me Have Believed In The Devil.

Words Have Meaning. And Their Meaning Doesn't Change.

We Do Him [god] Honor In Our Pledge Of Allegiance, In All Our Public Ceremonies. There's Nothing Wrong With That. It Is In The Best Of American Traditions, And Don't Let Anybody Tell You Otherwise. I Think We Have To Fight That Tendency Of The Secularists To Impose It On All Of Us Through The Constitution.

If, Even As The Price To Be Paid For A Fifth Vote, I Ever Joined An Opinion For The Court That Began: 'the Constitution Promises Liberty To All Within Its Reach, A Liberty That Includes Certain Specific Rights That Allow Persons, Within A Lawful Realm, To Define And Express Their Identity,' I Would Hide My Head In A Bag.

You Can't Come In Smugly And With Great Self Satisfaction And Say 'oh It's Torture, And Therefore It's No Good.' Is It Really So Easy To Determine That Smacking Someone In The Face To Determine Where He Has Hidden The Bomb That Is About To Blow Up Los Angeles Is Prohibited In The Constitution? It Would Be Absurd To Say You Couldn't Do That. And Once You Acknowledge That, We're Into A Different Game.
