Mittens say separation of church and state goes too far

[blastoff]

why doesnt he be honest about his tax returns then?

He apparently was honest with them or else the news that the IRS had to hound him would have been leaked.

Next?

 

[PredFan]

So he was being honest. Good. I like that in a President

arent you a mormon?

imagine how those words or thoughts terrify those of us who do not belong to an approved religion

You dont like religious freedom?

You do realize the establishment clause and separation of Church and state are not the same things, right?

I doubt that he does. I know for sure that Luddly doesn't know that.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney believes that "some" Americans have taken the separation of church and state too far, "well beyond its original meaning."

In an interview released Tuesday with the Washington National Cathedral's magazine, Cathedral Age, Romney said those who "seek to remove from the public domain any acknowledgment of God" aren't acting in line with the Founders' intent.

The separation of church and state is enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution, but Congress and the courts have debated the practical extent of that separation since its founding.

Romney said the Founders didn't intend for "the elimination of religion from the public square. We are a nation 'Under God, 'and in God, we do indeed trust."

From the OP link.

Sounds like Romney should read or reread the Constitution. The founding fathers provided a "Godless" Constitution, which clearly separates church and state. "Under God" is only contained in the last revision of the Pledge of Allegiance, which is not a founding or governing document. The Pledge of Allegiance was originally written in 1892, and the words "under God" weren't added until 1954 during the Eisenhower Administration.

Romney's scary religious roots are showing. What's next, another amendment to enshrine God in the Constitution? Religious nuts would like to replace the Constitution with the Bible?

Mitt Romney: Church State Separation Taken Too Far By Some

Great news for the anti-American rw's who already hate our Constitution.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

Show me where that 'separation of church and state' is in the Constitution... It keeps the government from having a church of the United States and from preventing you from worshiping how you wish.... But nothing where there can be no mention of religion in our government, etc...

idiot

The complete and full content of our 1st Amendment

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.

The 1st Amendment never has nor ever did have the words separation of church and state.

Funny.. that is not the constitution, however...

The Constitution states

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

It is pretty damn clear... Unless you don't understand English or you are that fucking stupid.. In your case, we know it is the latter

Now, sit back and watch as the lefties completely ignore this FACT.

Anyone who argues against "separation of church and state" must realize that their argument applies equally to ALL religions - not just Christianity.

That is a letter and was written by him and states his opinion.
It is not in our Constitution.

 

[Truthmatters]

both him and Madison had something to do with what the constitution says dont you think?

Thomas Jefferson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 (April 2, 1743 O.S.) – July 4, 1826) was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776) and the third President of the United States (1801–1809).

Madison on church and state

Now ask yourself why your party and Fox teach you to hate the founders ideas?

Actually luddly nutter, he said "taken too far by some".. and he's 100% spot on. Left wing extremists have been using the establishment clause for years as a springboard for the elimination of any references to religion from government which of course is not what the clause is about.

Just more attempts at bastardization of our constitution by left wing extremist nutcases.

 

[Truthmatters]

Madison is known as the father of the constitution.

he wrote most of it.

HE of all people KNOWS what me meant to convey in it.

YOU DONT

This is why the republican party hates education
