Tyranny of the minority can be seen in many ways, like the abolition of prayer
in schools.

There is no tyranny here. Kids can pray any time they feel like it. What they
have done is make it so that NO group can force YOUR kid or MY kid to pray to a
god they don't believe it, or pray at all. This law protects everyone.

[Platt]
Before the law preventing prayer in schools, no group forced your kid or my kid 
to pray. Next to go from the tyranny of the minority -- the Pledge of 
Allegiance.

The intent is to pit one class against another, which is a standard
revolutionary tool. I am not sure we need a revolution.

[Arlo]
I am not so sure we don't

[Platt]
I'm not sure we don't either. The Tea Party grew out of a revolution against 
tyranny that is once again threatening liberty .

[Mark]
If by intolerance you are invoking political correctness, then I have to say
that you are part of a cult. 

[Arlo]
I gave several examples of intolerance in my post; interracial marriage and
building places of worship were two.

[Platt]
Note the hypocrisy. Liberals preach tolerance while enforcing political 
correctness, and sermonize about compassion except for 9/11 victims.
