Liberal Media Attacks GOP Hopeful Over ‘Church and State’ Stance

The liberal media just can’t seem to understand why some would question the phrase “separation of church and state.” In separate articles Tuesday, both the Huffington Post and ThinkProgress.org attacked Colorado GOP Senate hopeful Ken Buck for statements he made last year that question the constitutionality of the phrase.

But while critiquing Buck both outlets reveal the full context of his statements, and in doing so shoot themselves in the metaphorical foot.

First, Buck’s words:

Those comments just won’t do for ThinkProgress.org. On its website Tuesday the liberal blog said that “legal scholars and the courts agree” that Buck’s thinking is “dangerous.”

Yet in the same paragraph it admits that Buck’s statement is, well, correct:

“[W]hile the Constitution doesn’t contain the exact words “separation of church and state,” legal scholars and the courts agree it does prohibit the establishment or endorsement of religion…” [Emphasis added]

Oddly enough, Buck would agree, as he says in the video:

I disagree strongly with the concept of separation of church and state. It was not written into the Constitution. While we have a Constitution that is very strong in the sense that we are not gonna have a religion that’s sanctioned by the government, it doesn’t mean that we need to have a separation between government and religion. [Emphasis added]

To recap:

ThinkProgress: “Separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution; government shouldn’t establish or endorse a single religion.

Buck: “Separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution; government shouldn’t establish or endorse a single religion.

ThinkProgress: Buck is dangerous for the way he thinks.

But ThinkProgress isn’t the only outlet going after Buck. The Huffington Post also took a shot at the candidate today by setting him up as just another Tea Partier who opposes fundamental American principles.

“Colorado Republican Senate candidate and Tea Party favorite Ken Buck last year said he ‘strongly’ disagrees with one of the bedrock principles of American society: the separation of church and state,” HuffPo begins its story.

It even uses its front page headline to portray Buck as a crazy:

Liberal Media Attacks GOP Hopeful Over Church and State Stance

In what seems to be an attempt at a “gotcha” moment, HuffPo attaches an update to its story (in the form of a Buck quote) that is supposed to show just how scary Buck’s thoughts are:

Yes, we have separation of church and state. We don’t want a state-sponsored religion, but no it doesn’t mean that churches and government should never interact, and that wall that people are trying to form between the two and punish religion is something that I think has gone in the wrong direction, and I think what President Bush did with faith-based programs that worked with the government is exactly the right idea. [Emphasis added]

Again to recap:

Buck: Right now in this country there is separation of church and state, but it‘s gotten out of hand and it doesn’t mean that religion and government should never interact.

HuffPo: Ha! Get a load of this crazy guy!

I could be wrong, but the “gotcha” seems to belong to Buck.

    Understand where The Idea came from in the first place and how the Founders all settled this…
    Separation of church and state
    JOHN Calvin believed that the church should not be subject to the state, or vice versa. While both church and state are subject to God’s law, they both have their own God-ordained spheres of influence. For example, the church does not have the authority to impose penalties for civil offenses, although it can call on the civil authorities to punish them. Conversely, the state is not to intrude on the operations of the church. However, it has a duty to protect the church and its ability to function as the church.
    As a magisterial reformer, Calvin thought of the State as a Christian nation rather than a secular government. He did not advocate religious freedom in the same sense as the Baptists later would, for example. However, his ecclesiology sowed the seeds of the modern secular democracy.

      END STATISM comments, “Okpulot, I am a child of government sponsored genocide.”

      I am highly skeptical. Explain your statement.

      END STATISM adds, “If you do your research, government has killed far more people in history than religions.”

      I will painfully bite my tongue and be gracious. I have read this line of thinking seemingly a zillion times. What you write is untrue. Religion is the base cause of almost all major misery we suffer throughout history. A student of history quickly learns virtually all major wars and genocide dating back for thousands of years, are driven by religious differences, from the Crusades to the Inquisitions to the Six Day War to Ireland to modern day Islamic terrorism.

      Government does not kill people, those under control of government kill people, such as a military force. Government may set a policy of killing people, but this is the “soldiers” of government who do the actual killing, by freewill choice.

      Religious differences is the primary cause of so much misery, hatred, racism, tyranny, genocide, war and much more. There in the mix, religion will be found; September 11, 2001.

      END STATISM closes, “Many of the Christian settlers that came to this nation were very welcoming to the Native Americans.”

      You are unconsciously displaying stereotypical Christian thinking. Christians did NOT welcome American Indians, quite the opposite, my ancestors welcomed Christians to America. You are, I believe inadvertently, displaying this ingrained arrogance of too many Christians.

      American Indians, in almost all cases, welcomed Christians to America. You have this backwards and this backwardness of yours is a result of many Christians white washing history; you have been brainwashed into believing this notion of Christians being superior to all others.

      Returning to history, early pilgrims to America were generally a good peoples who displayed friendship and respect for American Indians, and those pilgrims would have died if not so welcomed by my ancestors. Subsequently, Christians came in droves seeking land and riches. Then the genocide. I would be remiss to not mention there were many good Christians throughout history who did what they could to help American Indians and other minorities such as blacks. However, those good Christians represent a very small minority, and are still a small minority today.

      I am interested to learn how you are a “child of genocide”. Do explain.

    Previously I write, “In this sense, zealous Christians are enemies of the state not much different than zealous Muslims.”

    I will share a painful truth Christians will not like and often deny. Without intent of racism this truth well applies to white Christians who do not understand racism as well as they should. This is a truth about religion, specifically Christianity, meddling in government.

    During my childhood, after my being born “persona non grata” because of Christians, during my early years, a handful of Choctaw elders, very old elders back then, told me stories of Indian boarding schools. These were schools operated by our federal government and operated by Christian missionaries. This is what happens when religion rules our government.

    My elders, during their childhoods, were taken away from their Choctaw parents as happened with almost all tribes, Cheyenne in the north, Apache in the south, tribes all over America, Indian children were removed from their homes, then taken away to boarding schools.

    Upon arrival at a boarding school, federal or church, an Indian child was stripped naked, her clothes burned, she is deloused with insecticide, hair cut off then made to wear “Christian” clothes. School lessons focused on Christianity, not upon the three R’s. She is caught speaking in her native tongue, Choctaw for this example, a Christian teacher stands her in a corner, shoves a bar of soap in her mouth then she is left there isolated in a corner for hours, frothing at the mouth from a bar of soap.

    Tongue lashings were common. Beatings were common. Racism was common. Teachers treated Indian children like filthy animals, less than animals actually. Many of those children died, many were killed, none were returned to their parents nor homes for a decade or more.

    This ripping of Indian families apart by Christians is not this long back. There are still some, a few American Indians alive today who suffered Indian boarding schools. They are very old and their memories are long; their memories are our memories and their memories will become memories of our children. We have let go but we will never forget.

    White Christians, zealous Christians, do not share this history of my peoples. Those memories of ours are not in your minds, are not your memories. White Christians typically have little knowledge of this danger Christianity presents, white Christians almost never think of past horrors. Traditional Indians like me, we think of the past on a daily basis. This is our obligation to our ancestors to never forget and to teach our children of our history and of our ways.

    More succinct, Christians, regardless of skin color, are clueless.

    Each of you who demand Christianity become mainstream within our government, you serve to remind me of my Choctaw elders teaching me valuable lessons and teaching me moral lessons. Some of those lessons include, “Always fight against religion being forced upon us.”

    I am fighting now. I am telling you forcing Christianity upon America will have me, my family and a million American Indians up in arms. You do not want us traditional American Indians warring against you; my peoples have learned a lot from the genocide. This time, we will win through peaceful means.

    You Christians have learned little from your genocide effected against my peoples. You still demand we all submit to Christianity. This is not in keeping with God’s word. You are not Christians, you are petty tyrants looking to impose theocratic tyranny upon our America.

    What I write here is a harsh truth. This is up to you to accept truth, or deny truth. This is up to you to be patriotic Americans, or to be petty tyrants using God’s name in vain.

      I too have heard stories of such schools attempting to destory the native cultures by force, and my grandfather told me extensive examples backed with written letters by family friends of those times. Other friends I have, by far older and more knowable about these events explain about the ‘schools’ in the Americas and other lands about the world.

      I am not going to deny the history of abuses by christianity, nor will I deny the good that has also occured in the same history.

      All I will is state this – I attempt to fight these abuses where and when discovered, and encourage the body of christianity to remember that it is by the works and deeds we do, along with HOW we do them that shows the true spirit of Christ and God in us individually.

      SNOW LEOPARD 3200 comments, “remember and strive to not make the same mistakes and damage again.”

      Yes, we Americans must keep government, municipal to federal, faith sterile. Our system of government is based upon laws, impartial faith free laws which are to be applied equally.

      We would never allow our nation to be ruled by the Koran. We are never to allow our nation to be ruled by the Bible. Should we allow a religion to rule our nation, we are no longer a free peoples. Keeping religion out of government is not an affront to religion. Maintaining separation of church and state does not prevent faith, does not attack the church nor forbid practice of faith. Our American government is not a threat to any religion. However, religion is a threat to our government and is a dire threat to our freedoms.

      We only need to look at Islamic nations to painfully know what will happen when a religion rules.

      Again, I will write this was stupid of Ken Buck to bring up separation of church and state. He has a right to free speech, a right to faith, and he has a right to not be stupid. Christine O’Donnell made the same mistake, sometimes Sarah Palin makes this mistake. Many people do, including here at the Blaze; zealous faithful abound.

      Returning to strict politics, a savvy politician knows to sidestep certain issues. One of those issues is religion. During a campaign this is critically important to not stir up controversy, to not provide fodder for opposition to use as ammunition. Ken Buck behaved “stupidly” as Obama would say.

      This is clear left liberals are lying about Ken Buck. Equally clear, right conservatives do the same. This lying is not exclusive to left liberals. Virtually all politicians are liars, to a measured degree.

      Whether a politician is godless left liberal or a faithful right conservative, my expectation is either will be truthful with us, and I expect politicians to display good common sense. My expectations are rarely met.

      Opening this religious can of worms is not good common sense, nor is left liberals and right conservatives constantly lying to us a display of good common sense.

      Seems today we elect a politician who proves to be the best liar. This is senseless.

      We must keep religion out of government, we must keep government out of religion and, above all, we must return truth as a foundation of our nation.

      Your truthful common sense words, Snow Leopard, are sincerely appreciated.

    The phrase “separation of church and state” does not appear anywhere in the U.S. Constitution. Thomas Jefferson wrote that the 1st Amendment erected a “wall of separation” between the church and the state (James Madison said it “drew a line,” but it is Jefferson’s term that sticks with us today). The phrase is commonly thought to mean that the government should not establish, support, or otherwise involve itself in any religion. Liberal progressives have incorrectly used this statement to misrepresent Amendment 1 of The U.S. Constitution.

    When the First Amendment was passed it only had two purposes.
    There would be no established, national church for the united thirteen states. To say it another way: there would be no “Church of the United States.” The government is prohibited from setting up a state religion, such as Britain has, but no barriers will be erected against the practice of any religion. Thomas Jefferson’s famous “wall of separation” between church and state comment was made in a letter to a group of Baptist clergymen January 1, 1802 in Danbury, Connecticut, who feared the Congregationalists Church would become the state-sponsored religion. Jefferson assured the Danbury Baptist Association that the First Amendment guaranteed that there would be no establishment of any one denomination over another. It was never intended for our governing bodies to be “separated” from Christianity and its principles.

    The anti-Christian Socialist liberals want to achieve a new, Godless America where our children will be protected from outmoded Christian ideas and will enjoy freedom “from” religion – not freedom “of” religion.

    Socialists throughout our government have made it clear that the foundations, the roots that have undergirded this nation are no longer considered valid.

      ZOMBEE comments, “enjoy freedom ‘from’ religion”

      I am a child of genocide. Last time Christians seriously meddled in government, tens of millions of my ancestors were horrifically slaughtered over four-hundred years. For a full four-hundred years Christians slaughtered a peoples in the name of God, in the name of America.

      Our American Indian genocide is not an isolated case, is not the only example of Christians slaughtering cultures. Nonetheless, this American Indian genocide is more than enough reason to always keep religion out of government, and to keep government out of religion.

      This demand of zealous Christians to replace our constitution with the Bible borders on treason. This type of religious extremism has only one intent; to undermine and collapse our government.

      In this sense, zealous Christians are enemies of the state not much different than zealous Muslims.

    Some thoughts on this issue. While this is annoyingly clear left liberals are spinning this incident to have Ken Buck look bad, I must comment this was not smart of Ken Buck to address this issue of separation of church and state. This issue is a political kiss of death much is this issue of abortion. Savvy politicians know to stay clear of these types of issues.

    Separation of church and state, a “wall” between religion and government, is a well established legal precedent spanning centuries by courts from state to appeal to our Supreme Court. This separation of church and state is a law of our land and is to be respected.

    This wall must be maintained or America will fall to theocratic tyranny much like Islamic nations. Government is to never be allowed to meddle in religion and we are to never allow religion to meddle in government; either will destroy our nation.

    Only issue here is Ken Buck opening a can of worms, and he should know better.

    As the first Amendment states in our Constitution in regards to religion that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” it is based on the premise that the separation of church and state is, and always has been, a founding cornerstone for which we established this Republic. As outlined in the original proposed amendment by the Virginia Ratification Convention on June 27, 1788, primarily authored by James Madison, this is based on the principle “that religion, or the duty that we owe our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men have an equal, natural, and unalienable right to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience, and that no particular religious sect or society ought to be favored or established, by law, in preference to others.”

    We the people wish to reinforce this existing principle, as worded in the Treaty of Tripoli, approved by unanimous consent of the United States Senate on June 7, 1797, and signed into law by President John Adams, stating that “the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion;” and expressed in Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist Association on January 1, 1802, calling the 1st Amendment a “wall of separation between church and state.”

    Those of you who question the separation of church and state would disagree with the founding fathers themselves. But, that seems to be the MO of the Republican Party of late. They want to “get back to the Constitution” but “change it” all at the same time by repealing amendments. Must be difficult trying to get your story straight. Oh, but you don’t even have to do that. Just let Fox spin it for ya! They are good at it.

    I know that HUAC was renamed the Internal Security Committee and some time later it was abolished and its functions transferred to the House Judiciary Committee. This committee investigated FDR’s NEW DEAL and other Progressive Movements…

    The Majority Chairman is currently John Conyers (Michigan…need I say more) and the Minority Chairman is Lamar Smith (Texas…I don’t know anything about him)…There are 23 Democrats and 16 Republicans currently on the committee (on the Majority side are people like Sheila Jackson-Lee, Maxine Waters, Luis Gutierrez, Anthony Weiner…need I say more?)…

    If we know that the committee is full of COMMUNISTS…then HOW ON EARTH CAN WE EXPECT THEM TO ROOT OUT SUBVERSIVE ELEMENTS ATTACKING AND DESTROYING THE CONSTITUTION…(makes my head want to explode)…..

    What does this have to do with the separation of Church and State? Well, correct me if I’m wrong here, but since God has been banned from Washington DC, and the fact that we know that Communists refuse to acknowledge God in their government, AND SINCE WE NOW HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO REFUSES TO SAY THE NAME “GOD”…why on earth have we accepted COMMUNISTS in our government at all?

      He is a radical, extremist, and his deeds are darkness incarnate. To him, his purpose is to make a nation based upon Collective Salvation, where either all are ‘saved’ as a group, or ‘lost’ as a group, and therefore the ‘group’ must be properly directed by him.

    Scalia is regarded as perhaps the most conservative justice on the Supreme Court, and his fidelity to an originalist interpretation of the Constitution is well known. However, in Heller, Scalia explained that the use of founding father’s writings can and should be used to illuminate the intended meaning of phrases in the Constitution. Because Jefferson was an author of the document, his opinion on what was intended by the juxtaposition of the religious free expression and establishment clauses is actually quite important. According to Scalia’s way of thinking, which is what conservatives claim to be stubbornly committed to (i.e., originalist interpretation), Buck’s opinion should carry no weight, while Jefferson’s should carry controlling authority. It is beyond hypocritical for conservatives to defend Buck’s critique of the IDEA (not the text) of a separation between church and state, since that idea is clearly articulated by Jefferson–not to mention by other framers, such as Adams–in exactly this way. It goes to show that conservatives are only in favor of originalist interpretation when it results in rulings that they want. Otherwise, they are at least as supportive of more creative interpretations to get what they want in whatever way they can get it.

      It is my understanding, (I am not an educated man in these matters) that if you read the letter by Jefferson and not just the phrase, then you will understand clearly that he never meant to have the church seperated out of the public life of the people by the Goverment or even the people in the Goverment. He meant that the Goverment should not get involve in religion. The Goverment is not allowed to tell us where, when, and how to pray. However, goverment has breached that wall of seperation it self by telling us that we can not pray in schools, public events, and on goverment property. The goverment wants to take our religion out of our public lives and sanitize them of God. This is not what Jefferson meant at all nor did any of the founding fathers either.

      Svan, actually, if you go read Scalia’s Heller opinion, you will find his most specific explanation of what it means to do an originalist interpretation of the Constitution. And you will find Scalia arguing that the explanations of the founding fathers for their phraseology and original intent are amongst the most important pieces of evidence that a legal scholar–in Scalia’s camp–would use. To disregard Jefferson’s letter, as many conservatives have done, is clearly a mistake. Now I‘m sure Scalia will come up with a clever excuse or theory to explain why it doesn’t really mean what the words “separation of church and state” would imply, but either way, the fact that Jefferson went to church or put it in a letter as opposed to the Congressional record are, according to Scalia’s own explanation of conservative Constitutional analysis, TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. If Scalia is after procedural integrity, then he (and all the conservatives out there) ought to follow it even when it produces outcomes they do not like. That is the difference between principle and politics.

      Dearest ABC
      Jeffersons letter to the Danbury Baptists is where the term “wall of separation between…” originated.
      It was in the context of reassuring them that they could practice their religion free of interference from our federal government. The “separation” that Jefferson refers to doesn’t exsist as a way to protect public places from religious practices, but rather to protect religious practices from an intrusive government. It was never to be interpreted as a way to keep prayer out of schools, crosses from being displayed on war memorials or manger scenes out of public parks. Don’t quote Scalia like you have the slightest incling or what you are talking about.

    It could be that the idea was to keep the state( Government) out of schools & out of Churches. There is more evidence for keeping the state out of schools & churches than there is for seperating the church out of the state.

    In Fact all evidence points to seperating the STATE (GOVERNMENT) out of the Church. The SCOTUS has been bass-akwards in their interperetation ( spin) from the beginning.

      “… or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; …”

      So, if I’m in office, I can STILL PRACTICE MY RELIGION!

      There is NO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE period. The federal government only is enjoined from establishing a government sanctioned religion (e.g. Church of England/America) and requiring the citizens to belong.

      There’s no grounds whatsoever for prohibiting students their right to exercise their religion on school grounds or anywhere else. The federal government cannot even “make a law” “prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

      Initially, the restrictions were only on the Federal Government but, through the “Incorporation Doctrine” (which is nothing less than legal quackery) the Supreme Court extended the restrictions of the First Amendment against the states and local governments too. So, neither states nor local governments can legitimately “make law” “prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

      I realize some courts have ruled differently than what I have said and THAT IS ONLY ONE OF THE PROBLEMS!

      America desperately needs SIGNIFICANT reform of the Judiciary and the so-called Justice Department.

    “ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Establishment of religion
    Main article: Establishment Clause of the First Amendment

    The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national religion by the Congress or the preference of one religion over another, non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion. Originally, the First Amendment only applied to the federal government. Subsequently, McCollum v. Board of Education, 333 U.S. 203 (1948) incorporated certain select provisions. However, it was not until the middle to late twentieth century that the Supreme Court began to interpret the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses in such a manner as to restrict the promotion of religion by state governments. In the Board of Education of Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet, 512 U.S. 687 (1994), Justice David Souter, writing for the majority, concluded that “government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to irreligion.”[2]
    Free exercise of religion

    This main article even clearly states:
    non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion

    Nowhere does it state clearly that “There must be no religion in any Federally owned or controlled schools, buildings, judiciary, property, etc…”

    In fact:
    no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

    So the govt in fact CANNOT prohibit religion or the free exercise thereof, right there in black & white, in our very Constitutional Laws…. This means schools can’t deny a minute of silence or the right for an after school club to be a religious one, or the 10 Commandments on state property, or a cross (so long as if a Star of David if requested, is also posted) in a cemetary of fallen soldiers and so forth…

    It is time, once and for all to crush this fake, not in law Separation crap, it doesn’t exist, except at the ACLU and the MSM crowds, for the rest of us living in the real world, the truth is, we have a God given right to NOT have religion kept from our day to day lives, so long as we don’t allow religion to run the country, nor our govt, we are NOT a theology.

Some have argued that it is a historical basis for our legal system, but I don’t buy this since the only ones that actually are or should be laws are the prohibitions against stealing and murder, which have always been part of pretty much every religion and every legal system.

    The separation between Church & State is often misused and misquoted.

    This is the entire first amendment: (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution)

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

    It quite literally means that Congress shall not establish a [state] religion, nor prohibit the free exercise of religion. This does not say a religious article can not be displayed on State property (such as a Nativity at Christmas), because the “state” is not establishing a religion by allowing it’s display. This includes ANY religious article, Christian, Jewish or otherwise.
    In a letter in response to a religious group, Thomas Jefferson wrote this: (and THIS is where the concept of “separation between Church & State” originated)

    “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.”

      Christianity is built upon a freedom of choice, of conviction and of ideals/beliefs; centered upon it is the moral code of the commandments of God, and shown in the life of Lord Jesus. So, yes, to me christianity does provide a roadmap to a Republic.

      What will save this country from the tyrany of Socialist-Marxist-Communist governments or becoming one, is the power and freedom of the choices an INDIVIDUAL may make. Instead of the needs of the collective being considered over the individual (as in ‘you will speak this way, or else comrad’) it is the freedom to express oneself and pursue the individual dreams that provides freedom over tyrany.

      Yes there has to be order to a society, even the bible shows that is true, yet the true balance between the forces of anarchy and tyrany can only come via the choices of the individual free to do so, and balanced with the guidance, love, mercy, and grace of the Almighty.

If I understand the comments Mr Buck has made, he is empahtically clear about there being no state sponsored religion (such as a theocracy or where one religion is tolerated to the demise of all the others – so long as the party line is towed)

      He does seem to indicate there are times and places where the religion and government may be able to WORK togeather to achieve a objective; as I could see being co-ordinated after such a natural disaster as Katrina type hurricanes or large scale quakes and volcanic eruptions.

      So there is at specific times a place for both viewpoints, and also the the government should not be able to tell people HOW to worship, or to interfear with their right to worship or not worship as they see fit – an example are the former “Blue Laws” some states have or had on their books.

      Consider this for the seperation of church and state. Look to the history of Europe over its long span and you can find examples of where the church controlled almost totally the politics of the land – the papacy had at one time declared to have the authority to depose kings and princes when they wished, and to the other extreme where the papacy was controlled by nobility from France and Italy – there was three seperate popes at one time – each with seperate sponsors vying for power.

      These are the true dangers of a theocracy government enforcing its views upon the people without any check against it; along with the dangers of a government enforced religious system crammed down the throats of the people of the land.

      It has nothing about having religion involved in government. IN FACT, the founders relied on the people being religious in order to govern themselves (giving them morals) There is not and has never been any law saying that religion cannot or should not have anything to do with government.

      The Constitution actually allows for the state to embrace religion, but all religions and does not allow for an endorsement of a particular religion. The taking away of Christmas is quite frankly against the Constitution. How law can be construed by use of the Jefferson letters and not the constitution is beyond me and a far, far reaching government! The progressives can stick their winter holiday where the sun don’t shine, I’ll celebrate and say Merry Christmas and have a Christmas tree whether the government likes it or not! The politically correct can kiss my a-s and I’ll turn the other cheek.

      I would ask Mrs. Cleaver for a translation of LONGLEGGEDMACKDADDY’s post, but sadly, she’s dead.
