dude. that was your greatest whiff (which is saying something) but arguably THE greatest whiff ever on the PB. you should learn that if I posted it, and it seems low hanging, maybe you should think before posting.

No. She knows the light that is at the of the tunnel and blissfully welcomes the multiple journeys to it. No offence.

So if Republicans don't think the Constitution bans the establishment of religion, are we all going to end up in a coven or worshipping the Aqua Buddha?

Sorry, I gave you too much credit. What you actually said was even dumber than my misread.

A vote for Gore is evidence that someone is an unquestioning support of the Dems? You mean the centrist democract who should have been running on the Clinton administration's enormously successful record but didn't and almost won anyway despite often coming across as having less personality than one of your blow up dolls? Yeah, only gung-ho party supporters who think the entire nation is behind them when they win voted for that guy.

Take solace that he didn't lump you in the category that voted for Dukakis, but not for Gore b/c there was no difference b/t Gore and Bush.

My favorite line about this was Tim Cavanaugh's: The Constitution is not a deicide pact.

In Christine O'Donnell's defense, the words "separation of church and state" are not in the First Amendment, and it seems to be consistent with the views of the framers to say that the government can promote religion without promoting any one sect.

Only 42% of Republicans say Obama was born in this country, but 58% say he was born abroad or that they don't know. So who's nuts, eh?

Since "nuts" is defined by the public, and a majority of the voting public chose Gore over Bush, I must conclude that you misunderstood Hank's "point."

Cite?

Can you identify any laws passed by an early Congress promoting religion?

I think if you look at the Congresses still dominated by actual founders, you'll find more laws promoting slavery than religion.
