[BC] Bill O'Reilly's interesting comments

[cldube]

Lewis:

As I stated to Willie off the thread, you might find that the ACLU has 
indeed stood for your rights, such as in 2004 when they defended the right 
of street evangelicals to do their thing in public in Las Vegas.

Or when they defended a church from eviction by the city of Lincoln Nebraska 
in Aug of 04.

Of course you can pray in a public place. When was the last time you saw 
someone get arrested for praying in public?  But you shouldn't be commanded 
by some authority or institute to pray in public.

The minorities have been under-represented in conventional history (who ever 
heard of the Tuskegee airmen in the 80's for instance? I had a ton of WW2 
books in the 70's when growing up and not one mentioned them. A small 
example.). That's self explanatory. It's not that "minority" contributions 
are more important. It's just that their documentation has held no value in 
our mainstream society until some people saw this was unjust and in need of 
correction.
