On the heels of the recently-declared-unconstitutional National Day of Prayer, I offer up this quote from former U.S. House Speaker Robert Winthrop circa 1850:
"Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them or by a power without them; either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or by the bayonet."
The way things seem to be going, the bayonet (figuratively speaking, of course) seems to be gaining the upper hand.
