Ignore the media, O?Donnell is right about the so-called ?separation of church and state?

By Alliance Alert

Politico: "Delaware GOP Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell questioned on Tuesday whether the Constitution provides for the separation of church and state."  Similarly, the AP files this misleading report. The Washington Post also carries this report that includes video of the debate. John R. Guardiano writing at The American Spectator: "[W]hile O'Donnell may not have been as articulate as she should have been, she's nonetheless right: The phrase 'separation of church and state' appears nowhere in the Constitution . . . The First Amendment had been designed to protect religion from governmental interference and obstruction. Today, by contrast, the courts seem intent on protecting the people from religion . . . So while the elites cluck in disapproval at what they believe is O'Donnell's faux pas, the reality is she knows and understands the Constitution better than they do."
