“Something bothers me, Mr. Speaker. In America, the courts have ruled that we can burn our flag, communists can work in our defense plants, murderers are entitled to cable television, including the Playboy Channel, pornography has been ruled to be allowed not only on television but now on the Internet, because we just cannot prove that kids may watch it and adults may miss an opportunity to see such tangos. What is next? Will the Supreme Court allow students to trade in their baseball cards for Playboy Magazines, Mr. Speaker? I think if these decisions are not enough to make the Founders pray, something is really wrong. Think about it, the court ruled that school prayer is illegal. Prayer before a football game is unconstitutional. That is getting heavy. God is not even allowed to be mentioned on television. Some of the television shows that refer to God, Touched by Angels, they want to remove that. My God, America is talking about God. Now we hear about the fact that the Ohio motto ``With God all things are possible'' is the real killer. That is unbelievable to me. The court allows students to learn about the devil, but not Jesus. The court allows students to study devil worship, but not religion. This bunch of overeducated nincompoops on the courts have not interpreted the Constitution. They have become so politically correct they are street stupid and miss the whole point.”
