"There are a number of critics who would object to this bill-signing if it were in a public school, a library, a Wal-Mart parking lot or any other venue, because they oppose pro-life and pro-family issues."

Perhaps people have forgotten why our ancestors came here in the first place.

Because they were overly-religous prudes who killed others regularly for not believing the way they did and/or breaking some religious code, and the Brits didn't want them there raining on their figurative parade?

Are you serious smith? :lol:

Edit: Maybe you're confusing our founding fathers with the Puritans who came over.
