Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

If a national day of protest is organized by the big guys, VideoSift will participate.

Maybe Rick's plan is a mandated national day of prayer for God to fix the economy, because we know it worked in his home state.

Nice timing too, since it was the Swiss national day on the 1st

Seriously though, f*ch the Swiss.

The lies are Barton's mouth having words come out.

In part 2 he purposely misrepresents the National Day of Prayer case as if it was an attempt to stop Christians from praying, or having an organized day of prayer. That wasn't what the case was about, it was about the government sponsoring it, and John should have called him on that one.

In part 3 he noted, wrongly, that the establishment clause doesn't apply to the states, just the Federal Government. But the 10th Amendment doesn't mean that the states are excluded from the establishment clause, otherwise states could ignore all the other provisions of the Bill of Rights, although he seems to try to make that argument.

Add to this Barton's general lies outside this interview and revisionism.

We also need to remember there's definitely room for a national day of slavery, where we don't force slavery on anyone, just encourage them to participate in it - in accordance with the founding fathers' values, you know, keep it simple.

On September 25, 1789, the day that it approved the First Amendment, the First Congress called on President Washington to proclaim a national day of prayer and thanksgiving:
The first part of Washington's Proclamation
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor--and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their Joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

Newdow is just another intellectually dishonest attention-seeker, basing his claims on the phrase "wall of separation between church and state" which appears nowhere in the Constitution but was written by humanist Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Baptists.

No one is being forced to recite any portion of the Pledge, so his argument is moot anyway.


At the time that resolution was passed, members of congress objected on the grounds that congress is proscribed from legislating religious matters.

Upon ascending the throne at the age of 13 (in 246 BC), Qin Shi Huang, later the first Emperor of all China, had begun to work for his mausoleum. It took 11 years to finish. It is speculated that many buried treasures and sacrificial objects had accompanied the emperor in his after life. A group of peasants uncovered some pottery while digging for a well nearby the royal tomb in 1974. It caught the attention of archaeologists immediately. They came to Xian in droves to study and to extend the digs. They had established beyond doubt that these artifacts were associated with the Qin Dynasty (211-206 BC).

The State Council authorized to build a museum on site in 1975. When completed, people from far and near came to visit. Xian and the Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses have become landmarks on all travelers' itinerary.

Life size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations are the star features at the museum. They are replicas of what the imperial guard should look like in those days of pomp and vigor.

The museum covers an area of 16,300 square meters, divided into three sections: No. 1 Pit, No. 2 Pit, and No. 3 Pit respectively. They were tagged in the order of their discoveries. No. 1 Pit is the largest, first opened to the public on China's National Day, 1979. There are columns of soldiers at the front, followed by war chariots at the back.

Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Xian, China No. 2 Pit, found in 1976, is 20 meters northeast of No. 1 Pit. It contained over a thousand warriors and 90 chariots of wood. It was unveiled to the public in 1994. Archaeologists came upon No. 3 Pit also in 1976, 25 meters northwest of No. 1 Pit. It looked like to be the command center of the armed forces. It went on display in 1989, with 68 warriors, a war chariot and four horses.

Altogether over 7,000 pottery soldiers, horses, chariots, and even weapons have been unearthed from these pits. Most of them have been restored to their former grandeur.

The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is a sensational archeological find of all times. It has put Xian on the map for tourists. It was listed by UNESCO in 1987 as one of the world cultural heritages.
