"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

Obama and Putin had been meeting. Seems like they meet after each town or city they take from ISIS.
Obama kept putting pressure on ceasing the destruction, as public opinion pressures our government, but does nothing to Putin, Finally, hostilities cease. So it makes me wonder who is responsible for the violence and why?
Presidential election. Are Americans that fearful that we need a father figure? Do we need to come together, as the "United" States to get things done?

As many people as candidates have to meet, it's a wonder that don't get more diseases!
There are many books that survive time. Classics are such books. Then there are books that survive that aren't but are still widely read. Can you think of one?

The best we can do is contain/restrict actions but sometimes even that doesn't work. Too bad tolerance and fairness doesn't work from outside in and can only occur inside out. You cannot legislate/force people to like those whom they hate. Or love those whom they despise. Or help those for whom they nothing but contempt. Maybe one day?

Maybe he's better at that than being governor of Texas.

Many employees from there have been fired, but I wonder about the damage they have done.
