The separation of church and state in this country is narrowing. And it is the church, not the state that is encroaching. Our Constitution protects religion from the intrusion or coercion of the state. But we have precious little protection against the political...

Very very true, Dobbs nailed it on the head. It amazes me how many people, especially the new evangelical movement are for putting religion into all things government relalated.
What they want, is the very thing they complain about being wrong with the middle-east. religion controlling its population and government....

You know what 'knothead', you really are. Dobbs is no 'liberal mouthpiece.' He and his peers have ignored the infiltration of religious extremism for YEARS. You haven't a CLUE of the purpose of separation of church and state. My 'god', how can you be so WRONG?

Why did Dobbs wait until now to comment on this? Why did he let it get so BAD....like 140 Dept of Justice hires from the third rate Regents University? Where has the media BEEN? The infiltration of religious extremism has been going on for YEARS, & CNN has pandered to it, and even given these nuts credibility. Meanwhile, this small group of people is entrenched, and sorting through this would take more investigation than I'm sure Dobbs is willing to give it.

I suspect that the main reason Dobbs is sounding off on the issue is because of this paragragh within his article;
'The nation's religious leaders seem hell-bent on ignoring the separation of church and state when it comes to the politically charged issue of illegal immigration. A new coalition called Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform Wednesday will begin lobbying lawmakers with a new advertising and direct mail campaign on behalf of amnesty for illegal aliens'.
Immigration has become Lou Dobbs middle name.

Misquote? Nothing was misquoted, and your Jefferson analogy above is sub-moronic...not even worth refuting since anyone with a brain knows better.
You're quite the nasty little creature, aren't you? You are to be pitied though since you don't even understand the government in America.
American will only survive as long as the separation of church and state exists...FACT! And if the day comes when that separation fall,and I am still alive...I will leave the U.S. forever.
Of course knothead15 won't believe ANY of this; he is after all Christian, and Republican...he can't possibly be wrong.
