The "Separation of Church and State" appears nowhere in either the Bill of Rights or the Constitution and Hanson has a great essay on a subject that deserves a slow reading. I won't quote any part here because this is one of those documents that can be distorted by careless extrapolation. Needless to say that every great document in our history from the speeches of George Washington, the writings of Madison, etc., etc, etc., places faith in God as the bedrock of our system. The liberals want to replace that spiritual God with environmentalism, trendy diversity, and secularism. A great read.

Then you have to read the Noonan piece on Hillary. Really really good, without all the cornball patriotic shit. Tactics like this fit Hillary to a "Tee"

Always remember what Bill Clinton did after he lost re-election to the governorship in 1980. He joined the choir in the only local church whose services were broadcast on television throughout Arkansas every Sunday morning. You could turn in every Sunday and see him in his robe, with his music book, singing spirituals.
There is a St. Hillary in our futures.
