Throughout his public career, including two terms as President, Jefferson pursued policies incompatible with the “high and impregnable” wall the modern Supreme Court has erroneously attributed to him. For example, he endorsed the use of federal funds to build churches and to support Christian missionaries working among the Indians. The absurd conclusion that countless courts and commentators would have us reach is that Jefferson routinely pursued policies that violated his own “wall of separation.”
Jefferson”s wall, as a matter of federalism, was erected between the national and state governments on matters pertaining to religion and not, more generally, between the church and all civil government. In other words, Jefferson placed the federal government on one side of his wall and state governments and churches on the other. The wall”s primary function was to delineate the constitutional jurisdictions of the national and state governments, respectively, on religious concerns, such as setting aside days in the public calendar for prayer, fasting, and thanksgiving. Evidence for this jurisdictional or structural understanding of the wall can be found in both the texts and the context of the correspondence between Jefferson and the Danbury Baptist Association.
And I think the Teachers Union has better things to do than spend a million dollars on Prop 8. Lets make sure their public benefits are removed to tell them to spend their time worrying about EDUCATION.

Illo is a tool. I will start taking the Catholic Church seriously about the sanctaty of human life, and in particular, children, when they come clean for allowing pedophiles to abuse church members. This priest has no pull. Besides, since when does bashing church members for their vote for or against Obama is any of the his business. Move on dude…
