You are a statist. And you're not half as bright as you think you are. Do you think Kennedy was correct when he said in a declarative statement that the "separation of church and state is absolute"?
Yes, and I agree with Madison on the issue as well.
And who would be stupid enough to credit JFK's statement at full face value in a hot and dicey political situation with the presidency on the line?
With his daddy meeting Sam Giancana and Dick Daley in a Chicago back room?
