No Separation of Church and State

The First Amendment
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for redress of grievances.”

Hmmm? Did you read that? The words “separation of church and state” are not in the First Amendment. If you read further you will not see it in any other part of the Constitution. The founding fathers never mentioned “separation of church and state” during the framing of the First Amendment, between June 7 – September 25, 1789. Look for yourself in the Congressional Record.

On September 25, 1789, the very day Congress passed the First Amendment, a resolution was approved requesting President George Washington to proclaim “a day of public Thanksgiving and prayer.” That would have been immediately after they passed this imaginary “separation of church and state” clause, making Washington’s prayer unconstitutional. That’s odd! Why did Congress do that?

So where did “separation of church and state” come from? The pinko lefties will tell you that to understand the First Amendment, you have to understand a letter written by Thomas Jefferson. The phrase in this letter, “thus building a wall of separation between church and State”. On January 1, 1802, eleven years after the First Amendment was ratified, the private letter to the Danbury Baptist Association was to assure them that the federal government could not and would not try to establish a national denomination.

Jefferson was an ambassador in France as the Constitutional Convention took place. So how did that imaginary clause get in there. It took some big brainiacs to come up with this whopper. While President of the United States, Jefferson was also made president of the Washington, DC public school system. In an unconstitutional act, against his own imaginary clause, he placed the Bible and the Isaac Watt’s hymnal as the two primary reading texts in the school system. Again, an unconstitutional act against his fabled “separation of church and state” clause.

To explain it to you kool-aid drinking, blue pill popping, pinko lefty losers, the man you put forth to explain your imaginary “separation of church and state” clause, Thomas Jefferson, went against his clause. Explain this one to me?

And isn’t Jefferson’s private statement in a letter considered hearsay? As I understand it, hearsay is not admissible in court.

Our founding fathers introduced religion into the school system, contrary to popular belief. After the American Revolution, Noah Webster published the Blue Book Speller. Bible verses were used within to teach reading and spelling. The McGuffey Reader was introduced in 1836 and also featured Bible verses so to teach moral values. By the 1900’s, many other text books were in use and they all contained Bible verses.

At the start of the 20th Century many classrooms started the day with the pledge of allegiance, a prayer and a Bible reading. In 1925, the newly formed American Civil Liberties Union paid a teacher in Tennessee to teach Evolution. It wasn’t done in schools before. Forty years later, the laws reverse the way thing were, teaching Creation is outlawed and teaching Evolution is mandatory.

In 1947, in Everson v. Board of Education, decreed that the “separation of church and state” phrase is be tied to the Establishment Clause, not the Free Exercise Clause. In 1948 the ACLU used the “Separation of Church and State” argument in Supreme Court to outlaw a time for school prayer.

In 1961, Engel v. Vitale, the Supreme Court said that officials of public schools may not compose public prayer because the U.S. Constitution prohibits any law respecting an establishment of religion. The Supreme Court again declared that prayer in school was unconstitutional in 1962. In 1963 the Warren Court stopped schools from allowing Bible reading.

The government must stop, rather than to protect, public religious activities. So, the First Amendment’s in violation of itself because the Court holds that for someone to practice their public free exercise of religion is an unconstitutional establishment of religion.

Early American schools taught moral values from the Bible and with prayer, public school today prohibit it. Birth rates for unwed girls 15-19 of age have risen. So has sexually transmitted diseases among children 10-14. There have been higher suicide rates among teenagers, higher divorce rate, and more abortions. So with low morality comes corruption of values.

For 185 years prayer was allowed in public and the Constitutional Convention itself was opened with prayer. Congress still opens every day of business with prayer. Every United States President is sworn into office with his hand on the Holy Bible. A country that does not teach its children right from wrong will corrupt from within. When not taught good from evil, sin prevails and evil will flourish.

The ACLU claims that prayer, Bible reading, and the Ten Commandments in school violate the Constitution. Why did the founding fathers have them in their schools? Maybe they didn’t understand the Constitution they wrote? Or maybe you were indoctrinated in your Commie Lib public school system, you ignorant moron.

Google some of this information and educate yourself.

    This is such a good, clear history/analysis and makes me angry that things have not improved; they have devolved into nothingness. ACLU – who put you in charge of morality?

    We have Freedom OF Religion, not FROM Religion.
    No ONE National religion was the meaning of the words, such as was forced on our ancestors when they came from Europe.

    Excellent and timely, Fox. I believe the majority of our social ills are exacerbated by the Liberals’ “social justice” practises (as in examples seen in Leonard Pitts’ column today, 11/30 – Miami Herald) and because they took God out of ‘the system.’ Since the govt cannot legislate morality, it must come up with more and more oppressive laws to further pen in the increasingly less morally restrained people. This leads only in one direction unless there’s a popular uprising, which I pray for continuously!

    Patriots arise! Vote ‘em all out – long live the Constitution!!!

    It’s important to understand that the left isn’t interested in the Constitution. It’s interest lies in the destruction of the Constitution, period. Look back in history and find one instance, if you can, where the left defends the Constitution. You won’t find it. This correlates well with Dennis Prager’s commentary in WND today that, rightly, states the left can only destroy, it has never created or permitted any principled creation to exist unchallenged. Those it hasn’t yet attempted to destroy are on the list, they just haven’t gotten to it yet. The ACLU, CAIR, and other organizations of the left decry constitutional law, individual liberties and self government as unfair and need government to apply those principles to achieve ‘equal outcome’. Our Constitution does not promise equal outcome. It promises equal “opportunity” to achieve to all. What you do is up to you. Freedom to do as you chose. Institutions destructive of the Constitution are a threat to liberty. Americans need to understand that and treat them as such.
