WFB: "The fanatical interpretation of the ACLU ... is that it is your holy responsibility to protect any human being from the normal pressures that he ought to identify with being a minority. I'm a Catholic; I'm a minority; but it doesn't bother me at all that a Protestant version of the Bible might be used by somebody who says a blessing at an event." IG: "Well, the fact that it doesn't bother you doesn't mean that makes it okay. The issue really is who else it bothers and what ought the proper role of government to be."
