I would fight to preserve someone's right to pray to that goat. We should all be willing to fight for that right.

However, do not force me to pray to that same goat. Do not make me a second class citizen because I do not pray to that goat.

I would fight for that person's freddom to worship as they choose.

Would they fight for my right to have my own mind about religion?

No.

And that, Tom, is what is destroying this country. They have rounded up the faithful, given them some people to hate, which keeps them destracted while the real horrors are hatched.

That's not an opinion, it is a fact.

I am not a bible thumping, right wing nutbag and if someone worships a goat I could not care any less, but secular progressives are atempting to ruin this country one PC moment at a time.

It may surprise you but NO WHERE does it discuss the separation of Church and State in the consitution. Simply it requires that Congress will not create any laws which impead the freedoms (speech, religion, etc). Throughout all of the documents written by our Founding Fathers "God" was incorporated. Congress began every session with a Prayer – as they still do today. Our Money imprinted "In God We Trust". To suggest our country was founded on a purely secular basis is just not correct.

You can take the religion out of the laws but you will never remove religion from the law-makers. Any attempt to do so would simply be a blatant attempt of converting this country to Marxism/Communism. GOD I hope that day never comes!

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. The founding fathers were smart enough to see it, but nobody today seems to. One only need look as far as Iraq to see what happens when religion and politics are freely mixed. Religion is also responsible for about 90% of the world's problems right now.

I am old enough to remeber when calling somone is Christian was not an insult. I miss those days. I miss those kinds of Christians. I actually miss voting Republican, which will never happen again as long as the religous right has their fangs at the neck of the party

Yeah Vitters is a hypocrite, yeah he shouldn't run again but if Larry Flynt is your moral compass and your idea of a great American then you have serious issues.

It takes all kinds of people to make this country (note country and not nation). Larry Flint is, as some might disagree, a member of the media. All the members of the media should be there to inform the public as to what our officials that we elected do. I hope that all of us voted.

It's not the fact that he was seeing Hookers, it's the "holier than thou" attitude and then seeing hookers.

These guys want to tell everyone how to live their lives but they don't follow the script themselves and that's what makes us enjoy it so much when their hypocrisy is exposed.

This is nothing new. When the Republican Party made such an uproar over President Clinton's personal life, I knew it was only a matter of time before the Republicans would be caught in their own trap. It is unfortunate, however, that they attempted to tie Clinton's hands, pre-911, when they charged "wagging the dog" and "starting a wrong war" by Clinton's alleged attempt to divert attention from his extramarital affair, by firing cruise missiles at the very terrorists who later caused the death and destruction of September 11.

What ever happened to the "Contract for America", in which Republicans placed their morality above all others'? Remember Henry Hyde's "youthful indiscretion" while in his forties, which broke up another man's marriage? How about Bob Livingston? How about Newt Gingrich?

How about the continuing Abramoff scandal which has already led to indictments and convictions. How about the GOP wanting to relax its own rules regarding congressional leaders under indictment?

And how about the lies, profiteering, and cover-ups relating to this fiasco of a war in which we are now embroiled?

I cannot, in any recent memory, recall any other political party who continuously tries to make themselves out as having more integrity or a higher morality, than any of the competition. And when they fail as miserably as they do, they deserve to be called the hypocrites that they truly are. Don't blame the "liberal" media.

Ann Coulter would call me a "godless liberal". But I would gladly stand in judgment, before God, against any Republican. Any day of the week.

Here's to November 11th!

And not to be picky, but "— than they become fair game.” should be "-THEN they become fair game."

Good for you Larry! Can you please dig up some serious dirt on Dubya, Cheney et al, so we can get RID of them before 2008!?!? Although, even if there was serious dirt on those guys, they'd never leave. They're above the law, remember?

But it begs the question. How can you prosecute the DC Madam and not the Senator?

Maybe it is time to admit to human nature and de-criminalize prositution.

Instead of wasting all the money prosecuting it the government can make money licensing and taxing it. The customers and the sex workers would both be better off.

I hope Flynt outs each and every one of those nasty hypocrites. Cry about "ruining their lives" blah, blah How about not following the little head to the Madames gals if you claim to have those kind of morals preaching from your soapbox in Sunday school.

Larry never claimed he was an angel...which is certainly more honest than republicans squawking over this.

These idiots place national security at risk, by making themselves blackmail targets!

There are plenty of honest and sincere people with strong morals who are in line to serve in Congress. The morons who embarrass their constituents, family, and behave badly in DC need to go. As a 5th generation Washingtonian, I really take offense when political folks come from other states and act like they are in another dimension. This is a small town and word does get out! Most of these people in Congress live privileged lives and to see someone with such obvious ingratitude is sad. The pain and embarrassment he has caused his family is really regrettable.

Well this should make for an entertaining summer!
