Democrats: Want Money? Give up God.

Gateway Pundit: Unreal!... Dems Ban Religious Expression On College Campuses In Stimulus Bill

Rules of Democratic Engagement:

1) Don't question Barack.

2) Don't pay taxes

3) Want some bailout money? Check your faith at the door.

Too bad there's a little hitch:

This funding restriction is unconstitutional. In the 2001 Good News Club v. Milford Central School Supreme Court decision, the court ruled that restricting religious speech within the context of public shared-use facilities (or schools) is unconstitutional...This is now an ACLU stimulus designed to trigger lawsuits designed to intimidate religious organizations across the nation. This language is so vague, it’s not clear if students can even pray in a dorm room renovated with this funding since that is a form of ‘religious worship.’ If this provision remains in the bill, it will have a chilling effect on students of faith in America.
So it begins.
