    Yep; because in your myopic lie and denial filled world, there is nothing wrong with JackOFF (Jack) or WayLEFTofCENTER (Centerleftfl).

    Neuropsychologia is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on cognitive neuroscience. It was established in 1963, and is published by Elsevier.
    This is the least surprising thing I'll ever read.

    "While Muslims engaged in violent protests worldwide over caricatures of Muhammad have insisted any image of their prophet is considered blasphemous, a prominent frieze in the U.S. Supreme Court portrays the Islamic leader wielding a sword."
    "In 1997, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, protested the Supreme Court’s Muhammad sculpture, saying, according to its annual report for that year, “While appreciating the fact that Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) was included in the court’s pantheon of 18 prominent lawgivers of history, CAIR noted that Islam discouraged its followers from portraying any prophet in paintings, sculptures or other artistic representations.”

    What about the bible verses itched all over the buildings in DC?

    James Madison was clearly a nutjob (the father of our constitution). "We have staked the whole of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, TO SUSTAIN OURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD." -- James Madison


    Leave it up to snowflakes to revisit history actual and declare our founders.... WING NUTS.

    All this to avoid admitting that you have brain damage.

    No they're not.

    They're not required to put their hands on the Bible to take the oath of office.

    You don't know what the fuck you're talking about because you have the brain damage to which the OP is referring.

    What about them?

    A design aesthetic.

    That's all about the architects who designed and built them.

    But that's not a state endorsement of them.

    Many of them were wingnuts. They were slaveholders, racists, bigots, antisemites, and misogynists. They are the product of their times.
