It’s been an entertaining strategy in a couple of cases, threatening to put up a statue of Baphomet beside a ten commandments memorial or to conduct after-school classes, for example. In opposing corporal punishment or anti-abortion laws, it’s debatable.

RickA, read the book by Dorothy Rabinowitz. She got the Amiraults out of prison after highlighting their case. The DA was a big name back then Scott Harshbarger. Another case had then DA Janet Reno against Grant Snowden.

Right. But, is this a good messaging strategy? At times it is clearly brilliant, but at other times I wonder if there is too much distraction in the message.

It’s a civil liberties group masquerading as a religious organization in order to take advantage of the Religious Liberty Restoration Act as well as the First Amendment.

What do satanists have to do with day-care providers?

Dean may be referring to this horrible mess.

I would have thought they were into hitting kids, sacrificing kids, child abuse and so forth.

A truly ignorant statement straight from the false accusations against day-care providers in the 1980s and early 1990s.

I shake my head in disbelief at the things that come from RickA.
