George Santayana was right.
 

Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.

When I look about today I am convinced that we must have stopped teaching history in our schools;

The 1%ers want to take us back to the 1920s - didn't work then won't work now,

Who else wants to add a lesson?

One post today caught my eye for it's breathtaking ignorance of American history.

"Separation of church and state is to keep government out of the churches. Not for churches to stay out of government." 427

The opinion of a Faux News viewer, a proud consumer of half-truths.

For the benefit of -5, I offer the following text:

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

The bolded clause keeps the church out of government and the following keeps the government out of church. -5 is half right and half wrong. That's actually pretty good for him.;)

Gee thanks.

But what makes up the church/religion as a whole.

Use English, please.:rolleyes:

:confused: I'll bite. Explain what you think it is.

The people do.
They don't need anything to participate in a religion.

And they're entitled to vote. They can change laws with this vote that they're entitled to.

Yes they can but only within the framework of the federal Constitution. That is what the idiots in Arizona can't seem to grasp.

Your highlight says Congress and nothing about religion staying out of government.

If it did we would have no one voting and no one to vote for.

Are you buying into the talking point that there is a war on Christianity from the left?
