If you don't want your tax dollars to help the poor, then stop saying you want a country based on Christian values, because you don't.

"I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express."
