Christine O'Donnell needs a civics lesson... STAT!

Christine O'Donnell questions First Amendment

Associated Press8:06 a.m. ET

O'Donnell disputed whether the Constitution prohibits government from establishing religion.


   Why is this woman even in politics when she doesn't even know the basics of our Constitution? How did she even win her primary with Mike Castle? Does Sarah Palin really have that much pull? If so that is really scary that such a doofus, no matter how cute and sweet on the outside but is so twisted and inane on the inside.
   To me if you can not even state even some of the amendments especially the FIRST one, then either you are fully ignorant and should be disqualified for running for office just for being too stupid and you should be drummed out and laughed at for even trying. And yes Christine, take a lesson from (Dr.) Laura, getting called out for being an imbecile is allowed in the First Amendment.
   So here Christine is the First Amendment. READ it again and again.

   "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."


   THIS is where there is separation of church and state. This is what our Founding Fathers INTENDED. They did NOT want to see this country become a theocracy. They wanted the people to be free to say what they wanted to, pray or not as they wanted to and for the press to and assemblage to be uninhibited.
   I wish more of our government officials would get that there needs to be a separation and they need to keep their religions unto themselves and to not keep trying to insert their religion upon the rest of us who do not follow that persons religions. Even if one is a Christian, you cannot assume that just because you are a protestant that all Christians are going to believe and want the same things as you.  And sadly too many forget that this is NOT a Christian nation. There are a lot of differing religions to be found on our shores and percentage that does not believe in any at all. And we are tired of these people who keep wanting to tell us how to live and control our lives with their religions.
   But for anyone to be voted into such an important office as a state representative in congress then you should at least know the basics of our American government.
