Church and State Part I

Hello, Friends of Freedom, Our wonderful country has been beset with an atmosphere of incivility for quiet sometime now. In my awareness of politics over the last 40 years it keeps going from one depth of darkness to even lower levels of attack not only on candidates but their families as well.

OK, so where DOES it state “Separation of Church & State” in the Constitution?

For many, the answer is “er, somewhere in there”.  For others, it’s an inside joke (watch and find out). I agree with the Professor – what has come to pass was never written at all.  This is splendid discussion of what I have posited in the past – that perhaps it is time to bring …
