I hope that clears this up. (I'm so sure that's going to happen)

RichieLion: You are EXACTLY CORRECT.. Liberals constantly want to add words to the constitution to fit their interpretations.
I do not care what any individual founding father wrote before or after the constitution was ratified.
It was ratified by far more than ONE or two or a few founding fathers..
It was a compromise document that should stand on its words.
Why do we allow liberals to do to our founding fathers what they do to conservatives: treat them like they are stupid.
Our founding fathers could have easily said WALL OF SEPARATION instead of Establishment of Religion, if that is what they meant. Many documents of that era including the Declaration of Independence which THOSE FOUNDING FATHERS signed refer to god and creator, and would have violated that WALL if they intended a WALL. They signed onto Establishment of Religion.. don't accuse them of being too stupid to sign one document and MEAN something else.
