When I heard the news that my father has been wheelchair stricken I was very disturbed. It did not come as a surprise because from my previous visits, I could see that his legs were becoming more and more deformed from the effects of arthritis. He had to move very slowly in order not to loose his balance.

I knew that even in his old age, my father values the freedom to do activities on his own very much. On the phone, he sounded very frustrated when he related how he was not able to go out to buy food, attend to his banking needs, buy medicines and vitamins or just taking walks outdoors anymore.

The separation of church and state is an illegitimate mandate that appears nowhere in the Constitution as a phrase or a concept. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court has acted as if there was such a provision and has seriously eroded religious freedoms and ignored the intent of the men who wrote the Constitution. They’ve done so by commandeering power from Congress that isn’t theirs to seize.

True or false: Holy men lead prayer before each session of Congress? True. Congress has full-time chaplains, and prayers are said before each session.

True.
