Katherine Harris Calls Church-State Separation 'A Lie'

MIAMI Aug 26, 2006 (AP)— U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris told a religious journal that separation of church and state is "a lie" and God and the nation's founding fathers did not intend the country be "a nation of secular laws."

Okay, just an honest question here. At what point do you cross the line into treasonous territory? Not saying Krazy Kate has done so, but there becomes a point where you're advocating something that's antithetical enough to the system that we have to start asking questions like this. And it's only fair. If a Commuist were running for office on a platform that advocated, I don't know, abolition of state's rights and the suppression of religious practice, there's no question that the Right would label that as an attack on our Republic. And they'd be correct in doing so.

So when Krazy Kate starts "revising" the establishment clause and pretty much ignoring Jefferson's own writings on the subject, are we justified in suggesting that she has wandered into terrain that might reasonably be construed as an attack on the Constitution?

And if not, where is the line?

What is your take on this comic?( Read more... )

I thought it was satirizing evangelicals comparing them to annoying people on cell phones.In fact the goal of the cartoonist is; "to remind people that there is a God and God loves them"

It is called Heaven's Love Thriftshop. I read about it in the NY Times. As far as I know it isn't carried in any of the New York papers. Have any of you seen it?
