The Price of Liberty

01/25/05

Michael Newdow is -- and you'll pardon the use of the term -- on a crusade to rid the government of all traces of religion. While I appreciate and even agree with his motives, his absolute intolerance is at least as discriminatory as he accuses his opposites of being. His notion of freedom is one that would ensure his own sensibilities are never offended. That, in turn, makes it certain that others would lose their own valued liberties.

Mr. Newdow needs to remember that the United States government is constitutionally prohibited from having any official position on religion. That means that it can't take a position against religion any more than it can act in favor of religion.

President Bush won't appreciate the comparison, but in his own way, he's a lot like Mr. Newdow...
