At the time, there were different denominations in different colonies/states. Letting Congress "respect" an establishment, cold have given priviliges to one over another.<BR/><BR/>I am not necessarily completely supporting the provision. I am just saying that the picture generally given of the establishment of it may not be complete.<BR/><BR/><I>For reference, please see, e.g., the works of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn.</I>J.K.

It is all about rich politicians getting richer and if they grind the rest of us into the ground to do it, so be it. They don't care. I will never vote for a Dem or Repub again until I see someone stand up for common sense and making mankind something to be proud of again.MandysRoyaltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374904580790997557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729562980132720815.post-30889225844112845162008-11-03T15:47:00.000-06:002008-11-03T15:47:00.000-06:00You make some excellent points.My only disagreemen...You make some excellent points.<BR/><BR/>My only disagreement is that instead of grudgingly prefering an Obama victory, I would probably grudgingly prefer a McCain victory. There is just something about Obama I just do not like (and before anyone says it, no it is NOT because he is black- of course that is irrelevant as he is actually Arab...), and then there is the entire abortion issue which I simply cannot compromise with.JDBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665081148327742330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729562980132720815.post-44136703274864810022008-11-03T15:33:00.000-06:002008-11-03T15:33:00.000-06:00Excellent, Mr Harvey!Excellent, Mr Harvey!Jovan-Marya Weismiller, T.O.Carm.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03944144604130780799noreply@blogger.com
