RE: OMG! Creeping Christian Sharia!
Mr. Brayton correctly points out the parallels between this case of Biblically-based mediation and the "proliferation" of Sharia law in communities such as Dearborn, Michigan. The implied question is, "Where is the outrage?" Well, this is indicative of the hypocritical reasoning behind a group of certain political and metaphysical persuasion. These are the people who claim to worship a literal interpretation of the US Constitution as a means-all, ends-all to a national philosophy, that is of course... until they don't.
"We worship the 1st amendment, but the clause 'prohibiting any law respecting an establishment of religion' has nothing to do with a separation of church and sate and we ARE a Christian nation even though claiming this in a legal sense is actually unconstitutional."
"The constitution is as inflexible as the Ten Commandments were from the carved out stone of Mt. Sinai and we love the 14th amendment, but it really shouldn't apply anymore to 1st generation Mexican-Americans born of illegal immigrants."
"We love the Due Process Clause of the 14th amendment... that is until it becomes inconvenient and we drop it like a bad date and go home with the Patriot Act."
"The constitution is great because it promises equal protection for all and something something about life, liberty and happiness and we are a constitutionally limited government, but we're still going to tell you whose dick you can or cannot felate and which person you can or cannot marry."
"The constitution is the strict law of the land and if you have any intellectual dissent you are unAmerican and we agree with everything in the constitution... that is... UNTIL WE DON'T!"
