The Federal Bureaucracy, with it's overpaid, underbrained apparatchiks, who merrily churn out mountains of regulations of doubtful legality, but which have the force of law until a judge rules otherwise, is the problem. They are the real problem, with their insistence on "one size fits all (poorly) lame ass, dumb ass solutions.

Separation between church and state was to keep any Christian denomination from taking power. The experiences in Europe of theocracies warring and oppressing each other was to be avoided.

He also seems to forget that state run Muslim religions were also at war with state run Christian religions in Europe in places like Spain, The Balkins.

The democrats came up with this separation of church and state from a letter that was written by Thomas Jefferson while he was president. It was rumored at the time that the US government might set up a state religion, like the British had. This letter was to put those rumors to rest and all it stated was that the US government had no intention of setting up a state religion.

I had to correct my Pastor last Sunday night and set him straight on this very thing !

Democrats = the believers in the Government will take care of you from cradle to grave. (A welfare state)

Republicans = believe if you don't work, you don't eat. The bible teaches this; the believers in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The original concept of this post started out with "the difference between democrats and republicans", before all the religious input. The biggest differences are the differences between "conservative" and "liberal" voters, the differences between democrat and republican politicians are minimal.

No,,, it was to prevent the state from selecting a religion...

But if you are of the communist "democrat" party then the wall is automatically turned against the church as we have seen time and again by the ACLU commonally called the atheist civil liberties union. OIllegal has become even more aggressive against the church in fact he is paralleling Hitler in his adamant disgust of religious people. You those people that cling to their God and their guns.

That's me!! Bibles and guns!!!

You realize, of course, that the government has stated they will guarantee loans to minorities for "equal housing" in predominantly white,(read that low crime) neighborhoods? I simply can't wait to see how that flies in lily white Martha's Vineyard.

I thought that program was already well under way in Detroit. We can all see how well that worked out for you boys. We gave you all those nice homes there and now we gotta go in and level them to the ground. What we will do in Martha's Vineyard is find you a high paying job in the local burger joint and put that money in a saving account for you until you can afford that house. Hows that sound black bread?

Thank you bahmer! I read your same message to another poster, earlier today. I suppose reading instructions is not just for women, eh? ;)

My late wife taught me that on a number of occasions. I was an engineer and I didn't need instructions until it wouldn't go together the way I thought it should but didn't. Then she would smile and hand me the instructions and say maybe the answer is in here. It usually was, just like not using a map and getting lost right?

Do real men use maps?

Nope! Ray, my husband never used a map but he owned dozens of them. Could never figure out why he had so many, perhaps he studied them in secret so I could not pick on him for being lost.
