"Everyone today seems to think that the U.S. Constitution expressly provides for separation of church and state. Ask any ten people if that's not so. And I'll bet you most of them will say 'Well, sure.' And some will point out, 'it's in the First Amendment.' "Wrong! Read it! It says, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' Where is the word 'separate'? Where are the words 'church' or 'state.' "They are not there. Never have been. Never intended to be.

Wrong Zell. The Democrats find it right there in Article 52 from the Constitution they want, just exactly as they quote it:

Article 52
(1) 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.
(2) In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.

The Democrats and all those who quote "the separation of church and state" have long ago abandoned the U.S. Constitution and adhere to the tenants of the old Soviet one instead. Just look at what is in it from equal rights for women, paid leave for expectant mothers, the right to work, rest, leisure, housing, education, health care, etc all provided by a benevolent state as long as you adhere to the party line. Any dissent though will be dealt with harshly.
