Lawless Judges Have Created an America Where Praying Gets a Man Suspended from His Job

Yesterday, Joe Kennedy, an assistant high-school–football coach in Bremerton, Wash., was suspended. His offense? Kneeling for a short on-field prayer after football games.

According to multiple news reports, for the last several years Kennedy has waited until each game ends and the players leave the field before walking to the 50-yard line and offering a quiet prayer for his students. He never asks anyone to join him, nor does he stop anyone who wants to do so. Moved by his example, a number of players pray beside him — and at least one agnostic student takes the opportunity to enjoy an “uplifting” moment of meditation.

By the school district’s own admission, despite seven years of mid-field prayer, no student complained. Indeed, district administrators weren’t even aware of Kennedy’s routine until “an employee of another district” mentioned it to them. At that point, the district — claiming liability risk — demanded that Kennedy stop praying at mid-field, offering to provide him a “private location” instead. Kennedy declined, continued praying at mid-field, and was summarily suspended.

I agree with Kennedy’s lawyers — my friends at the Liberty Institute — that the district likely violated his right to religious liberty. But it’s doubtful the district would have taken action against Kennedy absent two extraordinarily malicious, anti-Christian legal doctrines developed by our lawless federal courts.

The first is the slow but steady perversion of the Establishment Clause — originally intended to bar the establishment of a European-style national church — into a hammer wielded against an increasing range of public religious expressions and acknowledgments, even at the expense of American history. Thus, Ten Commandments monuments must be removed from public land, despite the Decalogue’s undeniable contribution to American law and moral development. War-memorial crosses have to be pulled down despite their long-held status as a symbol of remembrance in an overwhelmingly Christian nation. And God (or judge) forbid that any high-school student actually see a teacher pray on the job.

These monuments, memorials, and prayers don’t actually “establish” a religion. They instead acknowledge the reality of a nation populated by a religious people whose religious heritage has shaped this country from its founding. But the Supreme Court has re-imagined the Establishment Clause as a catch-all provision that increasingly “protects” Americans not from actual coercion but instead from mere hurt feelings.

And that brings us to the other malicious legal development — a distortion of so-called “standing” laws that has allowed citizens to sue towns, school districts, and other public entities simply because they are “offended observers” of religious symbols or religious practices they don’t like.

...

In a world of constitutional common sense, voluntary individual prayer — even in full view of the public — isn’t an “establishment” of religion but the free exercise thereof. Yet in federal court, the Constitution often takes a back seat to anti-religious dogma, and judge-made “law” provides school districts with the pretext they need to stretch the boundaries of censorship.

Public-sector Christians, pray at your peril. The state does not approve.

[Brehvolution]

"I think the bigger frustration you saw is that all those candidates onstage had prepared for a substantive debate. Everyone was ready to talk about trade policy and the debt and tax policies," Rubio said on Fox News. "And we're ready for that, everybody was. And then, you got questions that everyone got, which were clearly designed to get us to fight against each other or get us to say something embarrassing about us and then get us to react."

Bull fucking shit. Every time something of substance was brought up you pussies started whining and dodging the question. Is it because all of your tax policies are so disastrous that bringing it up at the debate makes it sound like an attack?

Pussies can't even defend your own policies.

Stop making excuses for neoliberal shill Hillary's lies and felonies:

The day after her appearance, the State Department said it was unaware of any basis for her claim that the agency "had between 90 and 95 percent of all [her] work-related emails" even before she turned over 54,000 pages of records last December.

The only person in a prison cell the American people will vote for is Eugene Debs, and a far-right monster like Hillary isn't even close.

The next year, Jeb told Lucy Morgan, a reporter for the St. Petersburg Times, about how, in childhood, he had once caught his older brother finger-painting with something other than his fingers. Morgan saw both of them at the Republican National Convention, in San Diego, and asked the brother if he had a comeback—maybe a similarly embarrassing anecdote.

“I’d better not,” the older brother said. “I’m elected, and he’s not.”

Two years later, at the Republican Governors Association meeting in New Orleans, the younger brother was a governor, too, finally, and the older brother was being talked about as the potential next president.

“Look,” said George W. Bush, “I didn’t grow up wanting to be president of the United States.”

“I did,” said Jeb Bush. The more serious one, the more focused one, the planner. The harder worker.

Two years after that, after George W. Bush had been elected president, two weeks before another inauguration, this one in Washington, Jeb Bush sat with reporters in Tallahassee. “I have never been interested in being president,” he lied.

I've been calling out some Republicans on the whole "How can you vote for the LIAR Hillary?" thing. Romney gave us a wealth of lies to choose from. The McCain/Palin campaign basically told the American public that Obama's healthcare plan would involve euthanizing old people. At some point I'll probably compile a google doc of lies from major Republican politicians to trot out. I'm pretty sure it won't be difficult.

It's a little irritating how "they knew it was an al-Qaeda attack and not a video" is supposed to be the most unforgivable political lie of all time for whatever reason. I'd say calling your political opponent a radical Islamist sympathizer or saying he wants to turn old people into soylent green are both considerably worse, but that's just me.

Fuck it, any Republican politician who said that he remembered no subsidies on healthcare.gov being a planned feature of the ACA committed a far more serious deception than Obama/Hillary with the video story. That particular lie was an attempt to swing a Supreme Court case involving millions of people's health insurance.

All in all, I don't see how Republicans have high ground on the whole "Hillary LIED!!!" thing.

Lies only matter when it's somebody from the opposing party.

[brawndolicious]

It's like when your homie bangs a chick and you don't want her anymore. Sorry America, Jeb doesn't want W's leftovers.

Oh please with this. 

Jeb has no chance in 2016 but the best thing for him to do is to stay in this primary until it's clear that either a libertarian or a non-politician is going to win the nomination. He is the Establishment candidate and is driving people to consider someone new.

Then in 2019, when the House districts are still gerrymandered enough to leave Republicans with a majority in there, he can run saying that the massive landslide victory of Hillary in 2016 shows that while the American people want a conservative government they do not want a radical Cruz/Carson/whoever in charge. That it is time to elect a conservative who is a pragmatist.

[benjipwns]

If the GOP doesn't want Jeb! (peaked at 17%, the same as Scott Walker and Rand Paul...Chris Christie peaked at 20%) now, why would they want him in 2020?

I mean, Mitt Romney was roughly as or more competitive in 2008 nationally. And led in both Iowa and NH until about December. And he still got shoved around for a while in 2012 by Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich of all people. (As late as mid-March the national polls were Romney 35% - Santorum 29% - Gingrich 14% - Paul 11%; on Feb 28th Santorum led Romney 33-31.)

The failure of Romney, Rudy and (compared to the current field) Fred Thompson (and ultimately Johm McCain) didn't lead to more moderate candidates in 2012. Nor did the failure of Jon Huntsman, Tim Pawlenty and ultimately Romney (arguably all to the right of Rudy and pre-epic pandering mode Johm McCain) in 2012 lead to a more moderate field in 2016.

And the "establishment" is getting more fractured and more gunned down or dying off. Taking the RCP average you could argue that the "Tea Party wing" has two-thirds (combined polling of 68%) of the candidates (Trump, Carson, Cruz, Fiorina, Huckabee, Paul, Jindal, Santorum), and both Kasich and Rubio (combined 12%) rode the 2010 wave into office. The "establishment/moderates" has at best 18% in the polls right now (Rubio-Jeb?-Christie-Graham-Pataki) and moving Carly, Kasich and/or Santorum into that group doesn't get them much past 25%.

One could argue the "establishment" peaked in either September 2013 (Christie-Rubio-Jeb! at 42% vs. Paul-Cruz-Walker-Santorum-Jindal at 33%) or September 2014 (Christie-Jeb!-Rubio at 31% vs. Huckabee-Paul-Cruz-Walker-Santorum-Jindal at 40% with Kasich at 2%. If you slid Huckabee and Kasich over to the "establishment/moderate" side it's 43% vs 29%. Santorum is at 3%.)

I'd expect an even less moderate field, especially if Hillary wins and is polling strong in 2019. Candidates aren't going to want to enter a likely losing race. Outside the bin Laden bump, Obama had a negative job approval from basically July 2010 to January 2012. And the Republicans still didn't churn out a field of big time candidates. Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Gary Johnson, Rick Santorum, Thaddeus McCotter,  Buddy Romer, and Jon Huntsman was the field with Romney and Gingrich before Perry finally entered in August 2011. Haley Barbour almost got in, and Trump played hard to get. But Christie, Jeb!, Daniels, Huckabee, Palin, Petraeus, Scott Brown, etc. all passed and pretty quickly. Even a guy like Pataki did.

[benjipwns]

patented benjipwns triple post:
Could America Elect a Mentally Ill President?
Yes. In fact, we probably already did.

Yet one large taboo remains stubbornly fixed—mental illness. Sure, it’s part of the conversation, in that pundits these days can, and do, speculate casually about whether Donald Trump has narcissistic personality disorder, Joe Biden has slid into depression, Hillary Clinton is clinically paranoid or Jeb Bush will be undone by a Freudian sibling tangle. But here’s the really sick thing: For a politician to admit to seeing a psychiatrist would likely be far more politically damaging than any of the possible symptoms of actual mental illness.

For a president or a candidate, it’s the “kiss of death,” says Burton Lee, George H.W. Bush’s presidential physician. It would “create a crisis of confidence” in the country, says David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Barack Obama. “I’d like to believe I’m wrong,” he adds, but a commander in chief who disclosed a mental illness would face an almost insurmountable political problem: “Every time he said a cross word or expressed frustration, people would say, ‘He’s having one of those days.’” Instead, Axelrod wryly notes, “We just watch their hair turn gray.”

More than 40 years have passed since Thomas Eagleton, the 1972 Democratic vice presidential candidate, withdrew from the race after revealing that he had been hospitalized for depression. Since that political firestorm, the issue has remained firmly off-limits: No Democratic or Republican nominee running for president or vice president has disclosed mental illness or treatment for it ever since—to do so would be politically incurable. And as recently as the last election cycle, congressional and state-level campaigns were digging up past psychiatric treatment to bludgeon their opponents.

“Any vulnerability can be exploited by people and will be,” explains Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House and presidential candidate, whose late mother had bipolar disorder. “That’s just the nature of a very rough-and-tumble-type business.”

As a result, the notion of politicians merely consulting with a mental health professional remains the topic of only hushed conversations or forceful denials. When President Bill Clinton admitted to infidelity and impeachment loomed, talking to a psychiatrist remained a political nonstarter. Aides told reporters that Clinton was seeking the counsel of Christian ministers but was “not under any medical treatment for any psychiatric or mental condition.” Even two decades later, “crazy” remains a politically acceptable epithet, whether it’s Obama taunting Republican opponents or Representative Trey Gowdy quipping that he did not want to wrangle members of the House in a leadership position because he did not “have a background in mental health.”

...

Nixon and John F. Kennedy clandestinely filled their medicine cabinets with psychotropic drugs, recently uncovered documents reveal. In fact, Kennedy aide and historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. suggested in his journals that several modern presidents were mentally unbalanced; he recorded top aides arguing whether President Lyndon Johnson was clinically paranoid or a manic-depressive, and fretted that there was no constitutional “procedure for dealing with nuts.”

In other words, mental illness is surely more common in Washington than the public knows or wants to believe. In 2006, after an embarrassing car accident, Representative Patrick Kennedy, JFK’s nephew, became a rare politician to announce he would seek treatment for his addiction and bipolar disorder. Soon, Kennedy says, several congressional colleagues privately revealed their own illnesses to him—but would not make them public. After interviewing more than three dozen people for this article, I found only one current member of Congress who has been open while in office about struggling with mental health: freshman Arizona Representative Ruben Gallego, an Iraq War veteran who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

When it comes to their mental health, however, politicians, including the one with the nuclear launch codes, are “just like everybody else,” Lee says. Some diagnoses are dangerous, but others are manageable with treatment. For instance, he says, “A president can function very well if he has a mild anxiety disorder or obsessive compulsive [disorder].”

Which raises the question: When roughly a fifth of American adults use medication and millions go to talk therapy for their mental health, why shouldn’t the people governing the country be able to as well?

Republicans will do what they've been doing for years. If Hillary wins we'll get 6 months of hand wringing and calls for a more inclusive party. We'll suddenly see more white female republicans on talk shows - hell, maybe Fiorina will become chairwoman of the RNC. But ultimately nothing will change, the rhetoric will start getting ugly after a year, and republicans will ride a wave of anger and white districts to 2018 midterm victories.

Tea party types will see this as validation for more extremism, moderates will preach restraint. Regardless the party will be operating from the far right, stoking white resentment and investigating Hillary nonstop.

Basically republicans are like a sports team with a rapidly shrinking window for success. Instead of rebuilding they keep doubling down on their old roster, hoping they can squeeze one more championship run out of it. Demographics continue to look terrible for republicans yet they continue to shit on minorities. Party wise they control the senate, house, and most state legislatures in the country. All they need is a presidential win to make some sweeping legislative and judicial changes that'll transform the nation in many ways (destroy or bleed Obamacare, 2-4 Supreme Court justices, massive tax cuts, perhaps some religious freedom laws on national level, deregulation, ground troops in Iraq or Syria, etc).

Basically they're putting all their chips on a short term victory and endangering long term viability. 2020 is a Census year and general election. That increased turnout is gonna ensure gerrymandering is more favorable for democrats than 2010 was. Lots of brown districts are gonna be drawn, and suddenly that window is gonna be closed.

Nor did the failure of Jon Huntsman, Tim Pawlenty and ultimately Romney (arguably all to the right of Rudy and pre-epic pandering mode Johm McCain) in 2012 lead to a more moderate field in 2016.

Romney and McCain were establishment candidates who tried to zig zag between right and left during the primary and general. No one would have thought they were true to their principles and it's pretty hard to win independents who aren't sure exactly what your policy goals are. If somebody like Cruz or Trump gets nominated, the amount they lose by in 2016 will make lifelong Republicans traumatized enough to consider that only a moderate candidate could win the general election.

I'm not a mind-reader but I don't think anyone is really a die-hard-never-going-to-change-again Tea Partier. I think 95% of Republicans are just afraid of people who are gay/brown, gun control, and taxes. There's not much point going after healthcare/immigration/gay marriage but ensuring gun rights and lowering taxes could be a popular platform. I don't hear anyone else coming up with a better plan.

[Phoenix Dark]

I disagree. True believers nominated Goldwater in 1964 which was a disaster. Yet they had no problem bucking the establishment and picking Reagan in 1976 for instance. True believers rarely see the light, they simply come up with excuses for failure.

If Cruz received the nom and got crushed by Hillary while running a far right campaign...the right would argue it was inevitable due to the liberal media. Or that illegal immigrants gave her the victory by inflating electoral college delegates. Or even that Ted Cruz simply wasn't conservative enough.

The establishment would see the loss for the disaster it was, but at this point can we have confidence they can retake the party from these extremists?

[Shadow Mod]

Biggest irony is the repubs might have seen the greatest long term success if the SC had ruled different on Citizens United.

[brawndolicious]

It's certainly not guaranteed that they'll become logical about it but I'm saying that's the best thing for Jeb to do even when he knows he's just burning money at this point. Stay in the race pushing the radical fringe to be more radical and when whatever true believer wins the nomination but gets crushed in the general election, then you have a platform for suggesting a "new" type of conservative party THAT CAN WIN!!!

It's not an easy way for him to win but it's the smartest play available.

John Oliver, comedian and host of HBO's "Last Week Tonight" on Friday said that he's not at all interested in having Donald Trump on his show.

"I don’t really care about him in any capacity," he said on CBS' "This Morning." "I don’t really have anything to say to him."

Oliver explained that an interview with Trump would not yield anything new about the real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate.

"He’s said everything he wants to say. He has no internal monologue, that man. So it’s not like you’re going to find the secret nugget he’s been holding back. He’s an open book And that book doesn’t have that many interesting words in it," Oliver said.
