you had the whig party, the abolitionists. the whigs were the politics ready to make practical political decisions. in 1860, they all got together behind abraham lincoln. i wonder if they do it again in 2016 in the party s still split in two. the establishment types, they like holding office and are willing to bend a little to get power. the abolitionists are on principle. as for gay marriage, they d just as soon there not be in gays, period. they re not about to let them have wedding rings and all other parts of straight life. the karl rove winning elections and the abolitionists wing are in for a prolonged situation. 2014 will be tough, but once these two gangs, the palin and rove crowds, have to meet again in 2016, it s not going to be pretty and sure as hell isn t going to be a marriage and that s hardball for now. thanks for being with us. the ed show starts right now. good evening, americans, welcome to the ed show. i m michael eric dyson. elizabeth warren takes

in indiana. our father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. this represents a fundamental teaching of the christian faith. dennis cruz believes the lord s prayer should be taught in sunday school but public school, as well. senate bill 23 would allow students to say the prayer at school. i think she putting too much emphasis on the role of the school system. surprising opinion from the campus pastor of southern church of indiana. i think the legislation may be a bit narrow, a bit misguided. i would like to see the legislature empower schools to do their mission and empower families to do their mission and allow the faith community do their provision. it has an opt out bill that don t want kids to participate. they take god out of schools and i really think god should than back in school.
