Christine O'Donnell: 'Separation of Church and State' Not in Constitution, MSNBC Shocked, Angered
Well she's right.
The Constitution says in the 14th Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This simply means that you are free to practice any form of religion you wish with out the fear of government intervention. Something that really miffs the left. This is why many Democrats have said they "don't agree" with the Constitution or that "it's wrong."
The genesis of the phrase started in 1878 and then in 1947. It was never intended to take God out of the government of a Christian nation, despite what Barack Obama says.
"The term is an offshoot of the original phrase, "wall of separation between church and state," as written in Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists Association in 1802. Jefferson was responding to a letter that the Association had written him. In that letter, they expressed their concerns about the Constitution not reaching the State level. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution did not yet exist, thus leaving the States vulnerable to federal legislation. In Jefferson's letter, he was reassuring the Baptists of Danbury that their religious freedom would remain protected." -Wikipedia
Currency in the United States is printed by the federal government isn't it? What's that little phrase on it about in whom we trust? A phrase that the liberals in the U.S. are desperately trying to get rid of. Those poor lefty sensibilities y'know.
