Many of the Founding Fathers were extremely fearful of the fusing of government and religion like we are seeing in today's Republican Party. It is not what they wanted.

This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.
John Adams

Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.
Thomas Jefferson

The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.
James Madison

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.
Thomas Jefferson

"The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state."
James Madison

As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion
John Adams

"An alliance or coalition between Government and religion cannot be too carefully guarded against......Every new and successful example therefore of a PERFECT SEPARATION between ecclesiastical and civil matters is of importance........religion and government will exist in greater purity, without (rather) than with the aid of government."
James Madison

"No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
James Madison

A zeal for different opinions concerning religion...[has] divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good.
James Madison

In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.
Thomas Jefferson

Did Ol Tommy Tuberville trigger you again?

While reprehensible of course, that has nothing to do with government policy. Separation of Church and State (yes, it IS a Nelson Mandella moment, but let's take it at face value) I'm interested in discussing actual laws*, that meld the two. I'm not saying there are NO such cases, I'd just like to put our heads together and come up with some. I'm not having much luck so far.


*( I'm talking about laws currently in effect. I shouldn't have to say this, but there are small number of posters on here that nitpick/base their arguments on the "letter" of the post instead of the spirit of said post (because it's easier than formulating a cogent argument)

And what danger is the owner of that pickup truck to you or anybody else in America. More than likely he just wants to be left the hell alone.
I specified parked in a handicap space. Since it happened to me literally today. I can post the pics if you want. It's a perfect metaphor for Trumpism.
 
Proof that you are crazy is that nothing you said happened in his first term. Good lord. You are just spouting nonsense with no basis in fact. Covid was his opportunity to declare martial law or delay the elections.. but didnt. Stop being pot inspired paranoid.
He did. He tried what he thought would work. And used covid as his excuse.

That's patriotism. Not nationalism. I criticize my country when it screws up, not stand by her right or wrong.
And that’s exactly what we do. Where do you think someone that considers themselves a nationalist cannot be critical of its countries flaws. We point out this administration’s screwups on the daily. We are aware the country has had its warts, but it’s still worth protecting. You’ve been indoctrinated to think the founding fathers intended the Constitution to be something other than what it is.

He's one of many theocrats in today's Republican Party.

Where was this Sep of Church and State energy from you when your governor was trying to arrest people for attending Church? He wasn’t the only one, was happening all over the country and by Democrats for the most part if not all. My guess is if I searched old posts, you prob cheered it on.

You realize this is two way street, correct?
 
Always take up for Dear Leader like a good little cult bot. Always. The cult lifeforce is draining away. Can you feel it Hal??
Open the pod bay door HAL. Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true.

No, it’s not. I see people of all walks of life park poorly or use handicapped spaces when they aren’t supposed to. That’s not an issue isolated to big truck driving Trump supporters.
 
Well, you went further than that, and implied that by me showing up there that I was glorifying war. Which is just, well, silly. I admitted my error in bringing it up on the political board, and asked you to drop it, but you just kept ramping up the stupidity.

So, with of this all out of the way. Will you please just STFU about it? (and I will too)
Ah yes, but ignoring these moron demon possessed vessels is cowardly, eh? All they do is waste your time. I learned this over years of futility. They will never learn anything.
 
I'd think that having selected Michael Cohen as a leader in your organization would be a strike against someone running for president. JMO.
 
What exactly have liberal white women made better the past several years? Many of them are legit batsh*t crazy and probably need to hang out in a room with padded walls for a while.
 
From Rand Paul's newsletter:

Waste Report Wrap Up

Every Wednesday, I highlight an area of government waste uncovered by my team and me. This past week, I shined a light on the Department of Treasury which spent $659 billion to pay the interest on the national debt. That’s up $184 billion from the previous year.

Hyman is wrong there, with due respect; it's decidedly not cowardly to simply ignore them and refuse to engage.

I knew exactly what/where Dion was doing/going with that ingrate nonsense denigrating the heroes who serve. His primary goal and purpose was to insult Hyman's sentimentality, the respect we rightfully have for those who have served and paid the highest price, which is doubly reprehensible.
