Only about 50 years before that, it was a crime to be a Catholic priest in England, and many people were subjected to the truly “cruel and unusual punishment” of drawing and quartering for that offense. One of the great gifts of the United States to the world was the concept of disestablishment of religion, which made religion a matter of individual conscience.

Amen hellbender, amen to every bit of that.

Now we have a whole sect of a major religion taking advantage of that great gift, that great freedom to try and pass of a terroristic, absolutely tyranical ideology and political system as a religion and hide in our midst. While a marxist is at the helm.

But we shall not falter or fail and we WILL take our Republic back and defend her.

“it was a crime to be a Catholic priest in England”

Emancipation wasn’t passed until 1829.
