The next will be fast food and pop in the car because it is bad for us. Heck why don't parents just send their kids to the state so they can be rasied as the state see fit. Give the government an inch and they will take a mile. Next will be to ban smoking in private homes.
For the record I don't smoke not now not ever.

lefty,
The Texas text book board has not made it's final ruling. The person pushing to remove Thomas Jefferson is a Dem. Nice try....
Next you are wrong about Jefferson. His point was that there would be no state run religion. They had just left England and the Church of England who's head was the king. What he has said many times is you are free to worship who or what you want. That the federal government (not the state) could not have a centeral religion. He did believe that God or the creator or a higher power did guide man and governments. That this creator gave us our rights not man or government. He wanted freedom not big government. It is the progressives who now try to establish a centeral religion not based on faith in God but based on faith and worship of the central authority.
I will take freedom over a strong central government any day of the week.

Hey St. Paul and D.C. read these words again.
"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government"
For some of you in DC let's take a look at this. Men create governments and give to them very limited power. The people give only what they have been given. For all men are created equal and have rights given to them by their creator. When a government trys to become that creator and/or trys to claim rights which have not been granted by the consent of the people it must be fixed or destroyed.
Our current leaders feel as if they must take all rights from us and then they will give them back to us as they see fit. They now believe they are the creator. The state has now become the new god. The people can not and will not stand by and let this happen.

alhs1975,
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
Declaration of Independence
So the let me get this straight you are saying our founding fathers who's words are listed here did not believe that our rights come from the creator and that those rights are unalienable rights. You are also saying we do not have the right to replace a government that has tried to take our rights.
Funny I don't see that. Maybe you should read the founding documents again.
Here is some facts to help you out.
By the "absolute rights" of individuals is meant those which are so in their primary and strictest sense, such as would belong to their persons merely in a state of nature, and which every man is entitled to enjoy, whether out of society or in it. The rights of personal security, of personal liberty, and private property do not depend upon the Constitution for their existence. They existed before the Constitution was made, or the government was organized. These are what are termed the "absolute rights" of individuals, which belong to them independently of all government, and which all governments which derive their power from the consent of the governed were instituted to protect. People v. Berberrich (N. Y.) 20 Barb. 224, 229; McCartee v. Orphan Asylum Soc. (N. Y.) 9 Cow. 437, 511, 513, 18 Am. Dec. 516; People v. Toynbee (N. Y.) 2 Parker, Cr. R. 329, 369, 370 (quoting 1 Bl. Comm. 123).

Well said Warhog. Our rights come from the creator not the government. It is time to throw the bums out. They have refused to listen to the people. The state and the federal overlords need to hear from the surfs. I am ready....... Are you?

Thanks Ernie. I was worried about that when we voted it in. If they see a pot of money they have to take it. Would have been nice to have them do what they said they would do in the first place.

This weekend maybe the turning point of our great country. If it passes our country will revolt. If it goes down the country will be saved and the Republic will be restored.
