6. Sure, her website said:
"Christine O’Donnell was not questioning the concept of separation of church and state as subsequently established by the courts. She simply made the point that the phrase appears nowhere in the Constitution. It was in fact Chris Coons who demonstrated his Constitutional ignorance when he could not name the five freedoms contained in the First Amendment"

I told them they'd misstated the discussion, that he was not asked to list the 'five freedoms,' and that Mr. Coons was about to recite the entire First Amendment.

11. it's a dog whistle to the fundamentalists
who all for their (faux) veneration of the constitution and founding fathers want to rewrite history turning them from deists determined to keep religion from taking over gov. and vice versa instead are a bunch of bible thumping proto-evangelicals determined to make America a christian theocracy.

their minds are like a black hole's event horizon. no light can penetrate or illuminate the gravity well of their willful ignorance.
