As we embark upon this Memorial Day Weekend, I thought a quote from one of our founding fathers and war heroes was in order. It's funny in a sad way that our first President would be considered a liberal today. Enjoy your weekend.
The foundation of our Empire was not laid in the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition, but at an Epocha when the rights of mankind were better understood and more clearly defined, than at any former period, the researches of the human mind, after social happiness, have been carried to a great extent, the Treasures of knowledge, acquired by the labours of Philosophers, Sages and Legislatures, through a long succession of years, are laid open for our use, and their collected wisdom may be happily applied in the Establishment of our forms of Government…” A theocratic or tribalist Right that argues for public policies by invoking divine revelation to some ancient prophet or immemorial custom dating back to “the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition,” is profoundly, radically un-American.
Gen. George Washington

Perfect!
There are countless quotes from the founders that make it crystal clear that they were for a total separation of church and State. There is no doubt that they would have been against 501c3 tax-exempt State-sponsored FEMA churches preaching Romans:13, the favorite bible passage of tyrants worldwide because it can interpreted as complete "submission to authorities" no matter how despotic they may be and that it is sacreligious to even question bad governments.
Romans:13 was used by "clergy response teams" in New Orleans after Katrina to get people to give up their guns, and it was a success. In my opinion, Katrina was a test case for the coming martial law and continuity of government plans.
