Subject: HOW COULD 50 STATES BE WRONG

have misinterpreted the U. S. Constitution. How could fifty States be
wrong?

- William Penn

If you found this to be "Food for thought.." send to as many that you
think will be touched by it also. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

There is no "separation of church and state" clause in the Constitution. There is one found in the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO!. It doesn't take much imagination to see where the loudest hollering comes from.

The Constitution's First Amendment in the Bill of Rights states, in part:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establisment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof:
That pretty much says it all. Congress cannot legislate for or against a free exercise of religion. No where is there mention of keeping religious symbols out of public life, nor removing religious displays from buildings and grounds held in the public trust.

What the ACLU does is more in compliance with the aforementioned Communist Manifesto, than with the U.S. Constitution. Perhaps the first letter of their name "A", should stand for "Against", rather than "American", since that is where you normally find them on issues.

The courts have been loaded with activist federal judges appointed by the more socialist leaning men and women who have served in the White House, and both Houses of Congress. Their rulings have legislated from the bench, rather than applied the law as written. We do not have the same form of government for which our founders and forefathers fought and died.

Thats how I see it.
