Thats not allowed in America

You use the name "sotheseedsofliberty2" in your opening paragraph. Are you referring to yourself as "sotheseedsofliberty2"? Your DDO name is "Lookingatissues". Just curious on why you used this. Pro: You were curious as to why I had used a different name than the one I normally use on Debate.org. I Might use the vernacular of the Hip and proclaim, "stuff happens," this was just one of those times. Maybe I could fall back on what William Shackspere had to say about the use of names when he said," Whats in a name,.... " William Shakespeare ,"What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." Romeo and Juliet #1 Con: (There is no tradition outlawed by the U.S.) with the exception of those breaking the law or majorly inconveniencing people. As stated in my original argument this is perfectly acceptable. # 1 Con: (There is no tradition outlawed by the U.S.) PRO: The law schools of this country are bastions of liberalism/ progressive ideologies who turn out liberal/ progressive, lawyers and eventually become future judges and some even sit on the Supreme Court determining by their decisions,that they hand down, how people live their lives and the traditions that theyre allowed to practice, Religious practices as well. A article by "The New York Times,"reiterated the effects of a liberal Supreme Court Justice on Americans when it published this article about Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.The article by Jeffrey Rosen, explained, " We are now living in Sandra Day O'Connor's America." Quote from the book titled, " Disrobed," by by Mark W. Smith. Former" Chief Justice Willim Rehnquist has written that the Court bristles with hostility to all things religious in public life. Based on a misreading of Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists, the Court has propounded and expanded the concept of a " Wall of separation" between Church And State. Quote from the book, " Men In Black," by Mark Levin Why aren't the traditions, Religious as well as Patriotic displays of America and its citizens a regular part of daily lives as they once were. "John Dewey,"considered to be the father of modern education, a communist, has brought about with his leftist ideologies, the "Secularization," of America by invading the American Classrooms where the countries young children are subtly indoctrinated on a daily basis. "Secularization,....is now generally understood as a condition in which religious considerations cease to function as central factors in the lives of individuals, even though those individuals may still represent themselves as religious, and may even continue their affiliation with religious institutions...."

Quote from the book, " Men In Black," by Mark Levin #1 Pro: What constitutes the tradition of a nation "Edward Shils has produced a monumental book entitled Tradition, The University of Chicago Press, 1981. David Armstrong, writing in Quadrant, October (1982) p 71, summarises his argument thus:" "Shils takes a wide view of what tradition is. For him it is anything transmitted or handed down from the past to the present. Material objects (the Iliad, the Parthenon), beliefs, images, practices, institutions, can all be tradition , that is, things handed down. The handing down of them constitutes a tradition."...... Such traditions as Christian Religious observances, practices ,and patriotic expressions such as saying " The Pledge of the allegiance ....." He does demand a certain persistence or recurrence through transmission, because tradition has to be distinguished from mere fashion. (Is it the case that a society where traditions are weakened becomes a prey to fashion?) Shils says that there must be three generations to yield a tradition, although the generations might be no more than the 'generations' of school children at a school......." Tradition..."
