So, you just accused me of a serious crime. Provide the evidence. Or better yet, take your evidence to the Authorities. If not, you are an accessory to treason yourself.How about you quote some other founding father, or better yet, quote Jefferson for something other than his stance on religion.And now the trumpanzees denigrate Founder Thomas Jefferson.Jefferson’s inconsequential ramblings about religion is not the “founders”, idiot.Our constitution is based upon liberty as defined biblically.We started having real problems when we mixed our faith & our politics, just my view, government and God have a different agenda.
When did we start having *real problems*? I maintain that when we got hysterical about separating out faith from politics is when the problems began.
fortunately our founding fathers were wiser than you & your fundie ilk.
U.S. Constitution - Article 6
[...]
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Jefferson's Letter to the Danbury Baptists
The Final Letter, as Sent
To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.
Gentlemen
The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.
Th Jefferson
Jan. 1. 1802.
That is like taking a clip from an Obama’s democratic fundraiser in 2006 where he said he would like to see a single payer healthcare and insisting that America has had a single payer health care system since 2006.

You can’t. Because Jefferson and all the founders agree with me more than they would ever think about agreeing with traitors like you.
