Thanks for starting the thread. I am sick to death of hearing about the "wall of separation" or "separation of church and state." There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution, nor in any of the writings of the founding fathers, including the Declaration of Independence (especially the Declaration of Independence) that supports such a concept.

I recommend to everyone a book by David Barton (whom I knew in college), "Original Intent," which should put to rest the ideas that 1) the founding fathers were Deists, not Christians; 2) they were hostile to religious expression; or 3) they would approve of Wednesday's ruling, the prohibition against prayer in school, the prohibition against towns having Christmas displays or any of the liberal crap that has been foisted on us in the past few decades thanks to the perverted view judges have taken of the First Amendment.
