Where does it say separation of church and state in the Constitution?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”

The phrase "Separation of Church and State" is not in the constitution. But it explicitly states there will be no "established" State Religion.

The socialist project has been to cry “establishment of religion!!!” when they are actually engaged in the censorship of free exercise of religion. The same people who ratified the First Amendment hired chaplains. What the framers, and the public who ratified and reelected the framers, understood by “an establishment of a religion is a far cry from what exercises “liberals” today. An establishment of religion would be a tax supporting a particular Christian denomination at the expense of others. Obama feels no compunction about requiring the largest Christian denominations in the country to pay for people to do things in violation of longstanding religious tenants. It is painfully obvious that he actually intends to make Christians feel aggrieved about what he presumes to force us to do.
What is hiding in plain sight all the while is the fact that wire service journalism behaves precisely as a cult. Its reporters are “priests,” and the newswire is their deity. How else explain their quasi-religious belief in their own objectivity? Subjectivity is best defined, IMHO, precisely as a belief in one’s own objectivity - so it would be a miracle indeed if journalists who claimed objectivity actually delivered on the claim. Which patently they do not. If they were objective, the Duke Lacrosse “rape” case would have dropped out of the headlines within a week, which was ample time for anyone not biased against the “privileged, rich, white males” to discern that the only thing sustaining the story was precisely self-interested prejudice. But self-interested prejudice sustained that story for months on end, until an adult named Cooper finally showed up and pricked the balloon.
And after the story was punctured, the journalists simply dropped the subject, with no thought to any apology owed to young men who had been placed in serious jeopardy of punishment by journalistic fecklessness. Just like the story after election night 2000 was not the erroneous premature call of FL for Gore while some of the polls were still open in FL. No, the reporters only wanted to talk about the “premature” correct call of FL for Bush by Fox in the wee hours of the morning, long after the polls had closed and no votes were being influenced. The wire services unify all journalists around the cult of journalistic "objectivity.”
And make no mistake about the tendency of the government to make the cult of journalistic objectivity the Establishment in America. You need look no further than “Campaign Finance Reform” legislation in general and McCain-Feingold in particular to see that wire service journalists are “more equal” in law than the rest of us. The money spent propagating journalists’ opinions and “reports” is pure as the driven snow, you see, while the money you spend promoting the candidacy of your preferred candidate is presumably a corrupt influence don’t you know.
