59. "become a secular government"

Fri Feb 21, 2014, 11:28 AM

Feb 2014

The Founding Fathers MADE SURE it was a secular government. It WAS a secular government until the religious mental cases got their greasy little fingers into it (thank you, Reagan, for giving what used to be the fringe element legitimacy).

Do these people ever actually crack a history book? Ever? And to think this country is infected by MILLIONS of these pod people. Our "Democratic" president, given that he invited Rick Warren to his inaugural, is no less guilty. He can find time for homophobic preachers like Warren but not one minute for progressives.
