The Founding Fathers Didn't Think SoRoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-30686841775126966902011-01-08T10:09:10.736-05:002011-01-08T10:09:10.736-05:00Now, Roy, you're just being a silly goose. Why...Now, Roy, you're just being a silly goose. Why should we need to refer to all those documents when there are plenty of people here and now who know in their hearts (and <i>ours, too,</i> apparently) what the founding fathers <i>really</i> wanted?<br /><br />(Yes, of course I'm kidding.)<br /><br />We also have to consider that infamous 18 1/2-minute gap in The Jefferson Tapes, too, now don't we? That could have been when they discussed making this a Christian nation.<br /><br />Terrific post. And "The U.S. Constitution is... the Ten Commandments of the nation" is a great line!The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-52740276496216368852011-01-07T18:10:27.998-05:002011-01-07T18:10:27.998-05:00Another here who feels that politics and religion ...Another here who feels that politics and religion should be kept separate (tho' a mutual healthy respect ain't a bad thing.)<br /><br />I'm not sure which is the more offensive - a politician telling me how to worship, or a religious leader telling me how to vote.

Politics and religion should always remain separate.
