Also, to point out the obvious, the founders very clearly intended for there to be a separation of church and state.'

Mike, the founders also VERY CLEARLY defined the role of limited government.

I'm curious how, on the one hand, you attack (and rightfully so) attempts to tether religion and politics - and yet time and time again you celebrate when liberals like Obama routinely trample on the 10th amendment. It's sanctimonious hypocrisy to cherry-pick the framework of the founding fathers and decide which areas you'll defend to the death (1st Amendment) and which areas you'll turn a blind eye.
