Separation of church and state: Has the right wing finally completely lost it?

Their latest icon of ignorance--Christine O'Donnell--demonstrates her lack of understanding of basic constitutional law, and conservatives are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to rationalize her foolishness. Even I'm embarrassed for them.

    No apparently the liberals/democrats has finally lost it. First of all they claim they are tolerant and understanding about people be it from homosexuality to religious freedoms but yet every time O'Donnell spoke about her past they jump on her like a pack of wolves. So where is this compassion, understanding and tolerance?

    What you have to do with these people is teach them a history lesson by granting them their wish

    "Boys and Girls of the Conservative faith , it's your lucky day we are going to make the USA a legal Christian Nation

    However since the Greek Orthodox Church is the oldest and truest Christian denomination on the planet our new and finally legal Christian Nation will only allow that version to be practiced .

    Enjoy the time that you spend with your families learning to read and write Greek "

    You demonstrate your lacking of basic legal analytical ability by failing to see that one could argue from more than one perspective. I doubt you are actually an attorney since they are smart enough to see issues and cite proper authority instead of simply claiming to be right.

    It is you who have a lack of understanding since the constitution does not prohibit the separation of church and state

    I agree, there is no excuse but that's politics. Its no different than the liberals who are now suddenly O.K with the patriot act, guantanamo and the war in Iraq.

    Yes, they have. If she had said black was white, they would be doing the same chicken dance.

    Yes, I believe Meghan McCain hit the nail on the head with this one. She said she was 'a nut job' and I believe she is right. It is seldom that I agree with a McCain, but this time I do.
