The definitionof "hard core"

Case in point

“ "I believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the Good Book and the spirit of the Savior have from the beginning been our guiding geniuses. Whether we look to the first Charter of Virginia or the Charter of New England or the Charter of Massachusetts Bay or the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, the same objective is present – a Christian land governed by Christian principles. I believe the entire Bill of Rights came into being because of the knowledge our forefathers had of the Bible and their belief in it: freedom of belief, of expression, of assembly, of petition, the dignity of the individual, the sanctity of the home, equal justice under law, and the reservation of powers to the people…I like to believe we are living today in the spirit of the Christian religion. I like also to believe that as long as we do so, no great harm can come to our country."  - Earl Warren ”

How far off the ideological map have Liberals strayed? When they get bent out of shape by the words of erstwhile Chief Justice of the United States Earl Warren, the man who stopped school prayer,  the turd has hit the bottom of the canyon.  Plop!  Of course they had no idea they were objecting to Warren's words (Breakfast in Washington, Monday, Feb. 15, 1954)while belly-aching over an invocation that cleverly used them as a trap. “ The invocation came near the end of arguments over textbook standards that will be used in Texas for the next 10 years. Board members approved 9-5 a series of changes that emphasize the teaching of American history and rejected attempts by historical revisionists to change significant parts of the nation's story, officials said.
