> DEUTSCH: Really?

> COULTER: Yeah. You have to obey.

> DEUTSCH: You can't possibly believe that.

> COULTER: Yes.

They forgot to read the US Constitution, Amendment I:
Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof...................
Believing with your heart is great. You also need to think with your
head.
That was written by White Christian men. I could never imagine a jew writing
anything like that and in fact no jew ever has. All they have ever done is
exploit our natural tolerance.
