There are builders who placed men of virtue in my path so that the building blocks of my worldview can me properly established - my parents. To begin with my Mom, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother.” Since birth, my Mom has stayed at home to train and raise me in the ways of the Lord. Reading the Bible to me daily, she instilled the truth of the God’s word into my heart so that I can come to the realization that Jesus is Lord. Without my Mom neither my Christianity or patriotism would be established. As my Mom stayed home to raise me, my Dad, as a fireman, provided for the house. Recalling his first hand experiences of tragedies encountered at work, he tells stories of modern day miracles and Biblical application for today. My Dad has taken my family to conferences from those of Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis to David Barton of Wallbuilers so that our worldview can be firm. Teaching things such as how to fly the American flag and how to fold it up right, he also instilled in my heart patriotism and American pride. He taught the things, he believes, every American must know. Because of my Mom and Dad, I was able to learn to walk in the way of Christ and to have pride to be an American. Without either, I would have not been raised in the raise of the Lord or be filled with American

In a rudimentary sense, First Amendment theory might be said to serve two purposes: First, to help rein in, “explain,” or criticize the in-and-outs of decisional law. And second, theory shades the law in a blanket of norms, sometimes labeled “universal” or “inalienable” or “fundamental” or “long-standing.” As to the first purpose, part and parcel of legal analysis is the ability to understand how the law is conceptualized and reconceptualized by those who direct or interpret its course. Each generation of scholars has its builders and levelers, its conceptualists and contextualists, its formalists and anti-formalists, its Langdells and Llewellyns, and so
