Separation of Church and State

The idea that the separation of church and state is in the constitution is completely false. This was dreamed up by judges and added to the constitution when it was never in there and is still not in there. This is another case of judges simply finding things in the constitution that don't exist.

The constitution was not written to restrict individuals but to restrict the government. Obama and the progressives are bothered with this idea as they want the government to be able to do whatever it wants.

As stated above the constitution does not in any way restrict the citizens in regard to their religion. It also does not restrict the practice of their religion while in public office. What the constitution does do is restrict the government from passing any laws prohibiting the free exercise of their religion. It also prevents them from passing any laws establishing religion. It does not tell them that their religion is restricted from exercise while in government or that prayers or bible reading are in any way restricted in public office, public places, in the congress, on school grounds or any other public venue.

We need to find judges that respect the constitution and don't feel the need to constantly add to it the things they want it to say. This is judicial activism pure and simple. They ignore things that are clearly written in the constitution and add things that are nowhere to be found in the constitution.

Any senator has a write to exercise his religion, any teacher has a right to exercise their religion even in the class room. As soon as the government pass any law prohibiting that free exercise they have violated the constitution. It is not the teacher or the senator or governor who has violated the constitution it is the congress or the judge who has violated the constitution by passing a law or the equivalent thereof prohibiting that person from freely exercising their religion.

The constitution also does not guarantee freedom of religion only in private! The constitution puts no boundaries on where religion can be practiced freely.

The government is there to defend the rights we have from God. The government is not there to give us rights. Again I say they are there to protect those rights! If they do not do this then they are violating both the constitution and their vow to the constitution.

Ask your non-representing representatives what they think of Christianity and if it should be ok to pray pray in school or even lead a class in prayer. If they are opposed to it or worse still would support a law restricting it then they are not a representative you want and they should be out of office as quickly as you can get rid of them.

A representative who would take your First Amendment right will take any right. Sadly we've already had our fair share of representatives who have said the government either has the power to do what it wants or that it should.

Our representatives seem not interested at all in restricting government in any way at all, but they have certainly demonstrated a great deal of willingness to restrict individuals in almost every area of life. What you can do on your own property, what plants you can plant, what wood you can burn, if you can burn wood at all, who should be allowed to marry, where and when you can pray, where and when you can read your bible, what kind of bullets you can have for your gun. How much energy you can use.

Our leaders revel in controlling the lives of the American people and that is not their job! Their job and the oath is to protect and defend the constitution. Their oath is not to restrict and direct the lives of the American people.

I still find it amazing that so many incumbents keep getting back into office. What is the matter with the people. Do they not pay any attention. Do they really think these people are doing such a wonderful job? Do these people really represent the values of the people? If they do does that mean that our values are also against the constitution? if that is the case then we deserve to lose the American way of life and the freedoms our founding fathers fought, bled and died for.

The government does not have the right to tell you when and where you can practice your religion. It is od that they are so adamant about this right regarding the religion of Islam but don't give the same courtesy to Christianity.

If you have a representative that isn't willing to defend and protect your right and the right of every American to practice their religion then you have a representative who is willing to have a dictatorship and do away with the constitution.

Consider this carefully because in the elections coming up voting the same people back in office will mean voting for more of the same as what we've gotten. Do you really think what we've gotten from them is so good?

If you say you don't like these people and you don't approve of what they're doing then why would you vote them back in office?!! Think about what it says about you if you say you don't approve of what someone else is doing and yet you vote them back in office. It either says you're plain stupid and their propaganda as totally fooled you, you really want what they're doing, or you simply can't be bothered to become informed and vote intelligently.
