Contrary to popular opinion, the term “separation of church and state” is found nowhere in the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or any other founding document of this nation. Yet for decades, some organizations and individuals have spread the myth that the words “separation of church and state” are found in the U.S. Constitution. Because of this misinformation, the ACLU and its allies have used this phrase to persuade public officials to silence religious expression.

It's was a liberal Supreme Court Justice in 1947 who erected the “separation of church and state” based on eight words taken out of context from an obscure letter written by Jefferson to a Baptist Association over a minor issue. On this flimsy pretext the liberal Supreme Court at the time changed the meaning of the first amendment, from protecting the church from the government, to protecting the government from the church.

What's so funny about that? TJ most certainly *was* a 'liberal', in the true sense of the word. Today's 'Rats, MSM, academia, and entertainment types are *not* 'liberals'. They're LEFTISTS.

Atheism is the only belief system tolerated and even subsidized by the government in the public schools. If you are a professor, you know this. In fact, you may have engaged in good deal of proselytizing on behalf of the atheist belief system yourself.

But of course, that's okay because you know that you're right, right?

The arrogant atheist professors who hold a monopoly on preaching in our schools are infected lousy with Inexcusable hubris and a self-aggrandizing sense of intellectual infallibility. In their narrow-minded zeal they exceed that of the strictest fundamental theist.

<< Thomas Jefferson was a liberal? >>

Yes he was -- and a Democrat to boot.

And was also happy.

And gay.

But a wealth of twisting and spinning has gone on since his day in the meaning of language and especially in the preemption of such words as "liberal," now a euphmism for totalitarian socialist and "gay" which stands in for queer, and deviant and sodomist.

And the Democrats of even twenty years ago, let alone two hundred and twenty, wouldn't recognize any relationship between themselves and the lying, looting, stand-over and shake-down criminal gang that these days hides behind that tag.
