The Constitution is the rule of law which was created by the Founding Fathers. But there are those socialist politicians who are attempting to rewrite true history to suit their self serving superficial needs. This new Capital building is dishonest to the tourist as its not an education but an outright indoctrination to them. The socialist politicians who created this are trying to rewrite history. What about the other half of the U.S. citizens who do believe in Judeo-Christian values? We were forced to pay for this dishonest disaster. Its scarely that we trust these types with our economy, saving the Middle East and health care and they can't even get our history straight. What an outrage! They have to get back to basics before they can do the more advanced tasks....

Well, our private funds weren't used for the socialists agenda that doesn't reflect me or at least 1/2 half of the other citizens. Thus, they ignore almost entirely "One Nation Under God" but almost place the "out of one many" fraud. All governments were founded on some type of values and principles. We all have a "religion". Religion is defined as a set of beliefs as this includes agnostics, athiests, the occult, whatever. They ignored the Judeo-Christian heritage and put their humanistic religion on 90% of this Capital Building. Half of us are not secular humanist so our millions of tax dollars were squandered away in the trash. This should have been a comprehensive representation of our country not the self serving secular politicians. Also, separation of church and state is continually distorted by the left media. This doesn't mean deface our religious heritage and rewrite it. Our framers didn't say this at all....

DOSEN'T THE CONSTITUTION STILL RULE? IT CLEARLY IS BUILT ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES HENCE TO REMOVE THEM IS TO DEFACE HISTORICAL TRUTH. A LAW IS THE ONLY WAY IN WHASHINGTON TO INSURE THAT THIS WILL PREVAIL....

Don't the reps have enough to do without wasting time breaking the separation of church and state? That's our real legacy. Our leaders should be working to improve the economy, solving the Middle East issues and getting out of there, environmental issues at home, and health care. That should be more than enough to keep them busy. If some people want a museum that includes "religious reference or Judeo-Christian content", then only private funds should be used for such in a separate building; a publicly funded Visitor Center should maintain our secular founding. Otherwise, it is open to all sorts of religion references, from hate groups such as KKK, to non-Christian religions such as Wicca and Islam, and becomes a lightning rod for such issues instead of an educational center of our pluralistic history....
