Of all the conservative arguments I've heard in my lifetime

I don't remember any GOP presidential candidate arguing against separation of church and state, and also i don't remember any GOP candidate arguing against college.

Pat Robertson might be the exception but his time in the spotlight was brief. Santorum might actually win the nomination.

.....build a separation between church and state. Their reasoning is tortured, but very strongly believed. It is just now being said loudly by one of it's own in the public sphere. I'm not surprised at all, it is what they believe: a Christian nation, (with their own version of "Christianity&quot .

This is horrifying to me. You don't even have to look at history, just the world today, to see what kind of country with a religious state to impose their views on everyone. Our founders specifically wanted to NOT have a religious state because of the recent history in Europe of that time. Too many people today are ignorant of history, as well as the world in general. Terrifying.

kicked out of Britain because no one wanted to live under their rules.
They did not come here for freedom to practice their religion.
They surrounded native American villages and burn them out then slaughtered men women and children as they fled the inferno.
All the while congratulating themselves on doing their "Christian Duty".

burying himself in Richie Rich gaffes. It is a race to self-annihilation with these two.
