...Constitution protects pure thoughts and words, it likewise protects "depraved" desires, as long as those desires are spoken but not acted upon. For example in a recent case the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the right of Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt to publish a parody claiming that the Rev. Jerry Falwell lost his virginity in a drunken orgy with his mother in an outhouse. "Depraved?" Assuredly. Protected speech? Of course, without a single Justice in dissent...

"You can't have federal funds supporting sectarian proselytizing," he told the Boston Globe. Critics who share the Rev. Gaddy's point of view worry that despite the President's assurances Monday that the funding will not "go to support the religious activities of any group," the very nature of faith-based groups means their clients will be subject to sectarian influences. What if, they ask, someone needed help getting out of an abusive relationship...
