If you're right then you have some secret knowlege that has been witheld from the annals of American government since the passage of the first ten amendments to the Constitution. And perhaps you should go back and "reeducate" all of those government teachers. Because I know mine said it was there (and he was a conservative).
However, you said the question said that "the Constitution says there should be a separation of church and state." If that is so then the poll is misleading and biased. Because I would also say no to that question. Because the Constitution outlines that there is a separation, not that there should be. | There is no "separation of church and state" in the constitution. There is a document that has the phrase "separation of church and state" and that is the communist manifesto. Liberals never met a communist dictator they didn't like.
The constitution says to keep government out of religion so people may freely exercise their religous beliefs. That is what it says. You have a copy on you, read it for yourself. Read what it says exactly without adding your interpretation. It's pretty plain and direct. It takes a liberal mind to misinterpret it. You stumble on the 6th word and that is why you don't get it.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" |
