Our Forsaken Heritage
Regarding "Supreme Being" (Editorial, Wednesday): The Supreme Court's decision to outlaw the mere display of the Ten Commandments in a government building is misguided. Our nation was founded on the principle of mankind having been endowed with "inalienable rights" by our "Creator." Are we now to disavow the source of those rights? If so, then we have disavowed and abandoned the principles on which this nation was founded.

I'm glad you published Richard Cohen's typically inane comments about conservatives in "Takes An Idiot To Buy Latest Clinton Expose" (On The Left, Tuesday). It illustrated so clearly how liberals usually resort to personal attacks and name calling, because they rarely have any intelligent substance behind their beliefs.
Winston Churchill, one of the most intelligent minds of his century, said it best when he said a young man who is not a liberal has no heart, but an older man who is a liberal has no brains. Cohen obviously fits in the latter category.
