My reply:
This is what happens when the RRR manages to demonize a word like liberal,
elevate a word like conservative, control the executive branch of
government for all but 12 years out of 40. Actually 4 years out of 48
because B Clinton, "the new democrat" was more a conservative Republican
than most Republicans. He was no friend of chuch state sepration.
This is what happens when one opposing political party keeps self
destructing and the other political party is taken over, lock stock and
barrel, by the RRR.
This is what happens when the political party that keeps self destructing
no longer has a identity so it is urged to try and out church, out god,
oput religion the party that the RRR now owns
This is what happens when the party of Pat Robertson and cohorts can win
elections and thus gets to appoint state (in states where judges are
appointed) and federal judges to the USSC and federal courts.
This is what happens when TV enters the picture with TV talk shows, TV
24/7
speculation, gossip, rumor, guessing, propaganda all pretending to be news
becomes the prime source of "news" for many people
This what happens when more and more actual news outlets, newspapers,
radio, tv is bought up by less and less major cor****ations who are more
interested in making money then being the safeguard that the "press" was
suppose to be.
This what happens when the god political party has mastered the art of
propaganda, lies and sound bites and the other party is clueless in that
area.
This is what happens when there are far more authors publi****ng the RRR
propaganda and lies, far more internet web sites devoted to the RRR lies,
far more money and deep pocket sup****ters for the RRR than there is the
opposite.
This is what happens when you have a historically challenged population
who
doesn't understand what separation of church and state means, why it is
im****tant, etc. and who is also too "busy" or indifferent to care or
effectively try and stop it.

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why

"You pilot always into an unknown future;

That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good
many combat missions and far too many scary, inflight, emergencies.
It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
