EXCLUSIVE – ‘Separation of Church and State!’: Leftist Activists Disrupt Michigan Town Hall
Breitbart ^ | 21 Apr 2017 | ADELLE NAZARIAN

A group of leftist activists wearing pink pussy hats disrupted a Christian opening prayer at Rep. Jack Bergman’s (R-MI) Thursday evening town hall in Gaylord, Michigan, shouting, “Separation of church and state!” as other constituents stood with their heads bowed in respect.

Dr. Derek Hagland, the assistant pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Michigan’s First District, had just taken the stage to recite an invocation when activists began chanting, “Separation of church and state!” to disrupt him:

“This guy was giving invocation,” Rep. Bergman’s communication director Farahn Morgan told Breitbart News. “He was not necessarily party affiliated in any way. That kind of reaction to him? It was the most aggressive that the crowd got during the entire event which was, quite honestly, shocking.”

“Separation of church and state!” …
Not in the US Constitution. Guess where it does appear?
“In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the USSR is separated from the state and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of antireligious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.”

1936 “Stalin” constitution, Article 124

“Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited. In the USSR, the church is separated from the state and the school from the church.”

1977 “Brezhnev” constitution, Article 52
Brainwashed into desiring dangerous immoral anachronisms.

Speaking of the First Amendment, don’t these town hall disruptions amount to demonstrating without a permit?

Conservatives best wake up and stop this chit at churches and townhall meetings before bullets start flying.

You’ve been warned by the leftist Nazi pigs about what happens next.
