Talk of The Villages Florida - Six of one, half-dozen of another, BOTH ignorant!

This is the real problem with politics today.

A lot of people have been making fun of Christine O'Donnell, the GOP candidate for the Senate in Delaware. However, during a debate, something her opponent, Chris Coons, said caught my eye.

From: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2...er=rss&emc=rss

Christine O'Donnell questions the separation of church and state and her opponent responds:

Quote:

When Mr. Coons offers a shorthand of the relevant section, saying, �government shall make no establishment of religion,� Ms. O�Donnell replies, �That�s in the First Amendment?�

Coons gets it wrong as well. His quote above is WAY different than what's really in the Constitution:

Quote:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

"Make no establishment of religion" clearly means a prohibition of establishing a 'state religion'.

It's RESPECTING an ESTABLISHMENT (*noun*) of religion.

Neither one of the major candidates really knows the Constitution and that is NOT a good thing!
