“as other constituents stood with their heads bowed in respect.”
I see the problem.

“Separation of church and state!”
More ‘progressive’ wordplay to achieve their propaganda victory. It has become so tiresome for me.
The founders envisioned separations between church FROM state.
Liberty and justice for all cannot possibly be achieved by man. The Founders knew that man is utterly incapable of governing his fellow man justly, without adhering to God’s law. They all understood that the foundations for governmental justice and liberty must stem from the ultimate source of all justice and liberties, id est, Almighty God. A quote from James Madison expressed their beliefs succinctly, “Any country not ruled by the Ten Commandments will be ruled by tyrants.”
June 25, 1962 Engle v. Vitale – The Supreme Court of The United States; led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, officially decided, “Prayer in school breaches the constitutional wall of separation between Church and State.” How I wish we still had patriotic men like James Madison in our Nation’s Capital to bitchslap imbeciles like Justice Warren when necessary! Church and State were to coexist in a nation ruled by Judeo-Christian principles. The erroneous phrasing of ‘separation between Church and State’ altogether subverts the Founders declared purpose - Church was to be separated and exempted from governmental authority, as the Founders simply wanted to prohibit the government from imposing any religion on its citizens. They clearly intended a separation between Church from State, and not strictly Church and State.
The Founders envisioned a free republic, and they understood the arbitrary nature and travesty of the King establishing himself by law as de facto caliph in England.
The Anglican Church was founded as a State Institution and as such, all subordinates of the King in all his territories were then members of the Church of England, not by choice; but by royal ordinance.
Being visionaries, the Founders recognized the need to guarantee our freedom to worship our Creator independently, and they were also men who publicly invoked God’s help every time they assembled. They did not foresee, nor would they have allowed, the formation of a society that might possibly enact laws forbidding Bibles and prayer.
The left’s church and religion is the STATE.
Their 3 gods...gubbermint, genitalia and globull warming.
I wonder if some of those people know Jerry Garcia is dead...
EEEWW! Still wearing the same hats since inauguration? sweaty gross!
Some of the activists wore pink pussy hats, the same ones donned as a symbol of “resistance” during anti-President Donald Trump protests across the nation following his inauguration:
These folks really should read the Constitution that they reference. The establishment clause they speak of prevents the state from establishing an official state religion like Henry the Eighth did when he broke with the Catholic church and established the Church of England. And this act is what the founders of the Constitution were concerned with. But, in the same sentence they went on to say that neither could the Constitution be used to prevent the free practice of religion. So to have a prayer to open a meeting does not establish a state sponsored religion but it does allow the free practice of same. If you don’t like it, don’t pray.
Separation of Liberalism and State!
I have an acquaintance whom I follow on Facebook and he has taken quite a turn to the left over the past year or so. He litters his page with political stuff, most of which I ignore because he really is a nice guy who seems to have gone soft in the head.
He wouldn’t shout down a pastor giving an invocation, but he would probably agree that having the pastor violates separation of church and state. He often opines that science and reason, not any kind of religious principle, should guide our public life and debate. But then he opened a discussion in which he said he couldn’t understand how Christians could vote for Trump, whom he considers the anti-Christ candidate. (Not the Anti-Christ, but one who is against Christ and Christian morality.) And he’ll take a Christian politician such as Mike Pence to task for doing something that he considers not in line with “What Would Jesus Do?”
I’ve seen a lot of this on the social media. Makes a helluva lot of sense, doesn’t it?
The lunatic left has no interest in separation of church and state but rather the elimination of the church in the state. And this is not the first town hall meeting where they have interrupted both the prayer and the pledge of allegiance. These nazi storm troopers are the same people we see hiding their faces on the streets as they destroy free speech.
I’m fine with the separation of church and state...provided this also applies to Islam. I’m tired of Islam being taught in public schools, for instance.
Where are the people on the left, protesting against THAT??
Sickening. Just how disrespectful and outright rude the communistic left is. Disgusting.
It's a very conservative town. I wonder if those pinkies were from out of town in fact.
I will find out more about this soon and post it here.
