Perhaps you have heard about the guffawing crowd of smarmy legal scholars and wannabe’s at the debate between Republican candidate Christine O’Donnell and her opponent, when the subject of the “wall of separation” between church and state came up? IBD has an excellent article that describes quite succinctly why Ms. O’Donnell had a point that went right over the heads of the so-called educated crowd. The following conclusion deserves special note:
“Maybe we should start calling the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause the “Free Exercise of Religion Clause”– since that’s what its plain language protects. Perhaps then there would be fewer false decrees from judges and fewer laughs when a citizen politician states a constitutional truth.”
Exactly! Her point was that the language “seperation of church and state” is not in the Constitution.
One of the reasons our country is in the shape it’s in is because the Congress has been filled to bursting with lawyers and so-called legal scholars and not enough Americans that represent other professions and interests in our society.

What are you talking about?
Christine lost her election months ago, having exposed herself to be, at the very least, every bit the ditz Sarah Palin is.
In Delaware, anyway, they are not idiots.
She’s right on both the constitution and evolution is not fact based science. It’s theory only nothing more. And if it’s being taught in our schools so should Intelegent Design “Theory”
Here is the video to see for yourself.

Libby: “In Delaware, anyway, they are not idiots.”
That’s questionable, if this elitist audience is any indication. At the very least they may be prejudiced and antagonistic toward religios folk and they bare definitely married to the “seperation of church and state” meme which fails precisely to describe the intent of the clause for which it has become the elitist replacement.
Ours was intended to be a citizen government…not one made as a snobbish click like the royalty we threw off.
