..to War memorial. As the article says, election time. This has nothing to do with religion/faith. What this is, is deliberately inciting people (manipulating emotions) to get votes from extremists.

There is a historical context to the prayer they want to put on the memorial, who cares? If that bothers you, don't look at any of the change in your pocket since that's even worse.

Do I detect sarcasm? :P A prayer FDR told the nation before D-Day shouldn't offend anyone given the context and historical nature of it in my opinion, I don't think you have to be religious to pray.

You'll have to permit people to get blazed on the green in order to sell that set
