“... @CNNPolitics separation of church and state. God should stay in the church not in government! ...”
The Founders envisioned a Country ruled by Judeo-Christian values working to establish a free Nation, such as the world has never seen. The Law of the Land was intended to be in alignment with God’s Law!
Judeo/Christian principles were meant to be the basis of Our God Given RIGHTS to Life, Liberty, and our Pursuit of Happiness.
Liberty and justice for all cannot possibly be achieved by man. The Founders knew that man is utterly incapable of governing his fellow man justly, without adhering to God’s law. They all understood that the foundations for governmental justice and liberty must stem from the ultimate source of all justice and liberties, id est, Almighty God.
A quote from James Madison expressed their beliefs succinctly, “Any country not ruled by the Ten Commandments will be ruled by tyrants.”
June 25, 1962 Engle v. Vitale – The Supreme Court of The United States; led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, officially decided, “Prayer in school breaches the constitutional wall of separation between Church and State.”
How I wish we still had patriotic men like James Madison in our Nation’s Capital to bitchslap imbeciles like Justice Warren when necessary! Church and State were to coexist in a nation ruled by Judeo-Christian principles. The erroneous phrasing of ‘separation between Church and State’ altogether subverts the Founders declared purpose - Church was to be separated and exempted from governmental authority, as the Founders simply wanted to prohibit the government from imposing any religion on its citizens. They clearly intended a separation between Church from State, and not strictly Church and State.
The Founders envisioned a free republic, and they understood the arbitrary nature and travesty of King James establishing himself by law as de facto caliph in A.D. 1611. The Anglican Church was founded as a State Institution and as such, all subordinates of the King in all his territories were then members of the Church of England, not by choice; but by royal ordinance.
Being visionaries, the Founders recognized the need to guarantee our freedom to worship our Creator independently, and they were also men who publicly invoked God’s help every time they assembled. They did not foresee, nor would they have allowed, the formation of a society that might possibly enact laws forbidding Bibles and prayer.
Liberals think the term “separation of church and state” is written verbatim into the Constitution.
When a Republican Woman ran for the Senate in Connecticut against Blumenthal, they had a Debate at a Law School there.
Blumenthal recited the LIE “Separation of Church and State” and in response the Republican correctly said that phrase is NOT in the Constitution.
The Heads full of mush Law Students laughed and ridiculed the Republican Woman for daring to tell the truth.
