Separation of Church and State: Key Cases and Comments

• Separation of Church and State Home Page and Rebuttal
• Separation of Joints and Baptists

Voting for a "Conservative" who is not a Theocrat
is worse than voting for a "liberal."

 

Republicrats and Demoblicans both oppose a Sanctified Society

Failure to openly and explicitly defend Theocracy advances the New World Order.

 

The "Conservative" Nixon did more to advance liberalism and socialism than the "liberal" Humphrey ever could have.

Gary Allen: Nixon: The Man Behind the Mask, Chapter 1.

 

If you want to advance liberalism, vote Republican; if you want to advance conservatism, vote Democratic
