>> stop fukking with the Constitution and the intent of our founding fathers:

It cannot be argued that the Constitution (or Jerfferson) contemplated as a great a wall between church and state as we have today.


Did you read Jefferson's letter? The irony is that back then most people in the colonies/first states were Christians. However, they were concerned that the Church of England would try to insert themselves into the gov't. That's why he was very clear that their should be a clear division between the two.

Today we need the separation of church and state even more because the religions in this country have multipied plus there are many more agnostics/atheists. Besides, its worked very well for over two hundreds year......why fix what's not broke.

The reality is what we have today is the result of liberal extremism, a persistent liberal bent put forth by the likes of Michael Newdow, and that it does not now nor has it ever represented the mainstream view.

Well, the last of your liberal remnants is falling by the wayside. Just a year ago, you were much more supportive of the separation of church and state. Attending a lot of RNC meetings lately?

It is unfortunate that there is a chronic push to the Left that results in constant revisionism of the founding principles of our nation. Liberalism is great for youngsters and idiots, but it is a threat to our nation as we've seen during the years since 9/11.

And your posts remind me why its imperative that we get the right out of power.....reactionary, revisionists, narrow minded, anal......are some of the words that come to mind. You would stifle progress and push this nation into one chaotic mess after another. Its enough......enjoy it while it lasts.
