Trump supports ALT RIGHT ALL WHITE and pays lip service only to people of color. He fools no one. Except himself and his adorers. How sad would Abraham Lincoln be to see what has happened to his country in the hands of the 2016 GOP prez wannabe?
Personally, I find the Mayans fascinating, but my favourite is probably the Romans. They contributed so much to modern society, and I think that's pretty cool.
They're fun to study... morePersonally, I find the Mayans fascinating, but my favourite is probably the Romans. They contributed so much to modern society, and I think that's pretty cool.
They're fun to study, and have a great language.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
ARTICLE VI
"No religious test shall ever be required for federal office holders".
Thomas Jefferson wrote that the first amendment erected a wall of separation between church and state. James Madison wrote of "perfect separation" , "line of separation", "that separation of the church from the state". The TREATY OF TRIPOLI was incorporated as part of the supreme law of the land signed June 10, 1797 by President John Adams which begins "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion...." Separation of church and state was first articulated by Roger Williams and William Penn and then by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. It is not mere words to be cherrypicked by anti-Constitution religious folks. It is a specific intention that is very clear. Anti-Constitution folks keep trying to undo this. Why? less
