Liberal Economics Political Debating Forum

The separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .” The modern concept often credited to the writings of English philosopher John Locke, the phrase “separation of church and state” is generally traced to an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, where Jefferson spoke of the combined effect of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. It has since been quoted in several opinions handed down by the United States Supreme Court, though the Court has not always fully embraced the principle.

The Democrats tend to say they believe in this principle completely while the Republicans keep trying to include religion in our Government’s directives and opinions. While this may seem to be true initially (and something this writer wholeheartedly agrees) coming from the fact that the Republicans introduced the term “One Nation under God” in our pledge of allegiance, let us look at this from their point of view.

The Democrats tend to believe in Universal Health Care. They believe in taking money from certain individuals and give the money (whether they need it or not) to other individuals. Even though this is just one example, you can see that they are constantly saying/telling what other individuals can or can not do.

So what are they doing you ask? They are doing what they preach not to do, they are playing God. I am the almighty and at such a higher intelligence level that you must do what I say, you do not know what is good for you, I know what is good for you. I can tell you how to live your life better than you can. Don’t believe me? Then why are they forcing a Health Care Plan on us that they do not want for themselves? Look at the Greek and Roman Gods of the past, constantly quoting “Do as I say but not as I do.” It is amazing, isn’t it? When the Roman Empire took those belief’s to heart and made it a staple of their economy the whole Empire collapsed.

Sure you may say they didn’t take after the Bible version of God, but they took the concept of Playing God to Heart.

So I say this to the Government, please let me be an individual and make my own choices without government intervention, I don’t need you to take care of my family, I believe I should be able to take care of them myself.
