People on the right actually work. We do not always have the time. I know on the left, where a working person is a scarce occurrence, there is always time to demonstrate against liberty. Us on the right have responsibilities and we actually rise up to meet them.

@zippyman818 While you're correct that americans have the religious freedom to refrain from observing a religion, Separation of Church and State is not a constitutional right. Rather, the phrase 'separation of church and state' came from correspondence between the founding fathers and churches which were worried about government interference. So, the idea of separation of church and state was intended to protect those practicing religion from the US government.

[William Spencer]

It was not founding fathers but father. It was personal correspondence not the Constitution. Nothing in the Constitution was designed to control the individual. The Constitution limits the states power. There is only one nation that has ever had a separation of church and state clause; The former soviet Union. Liberals twist the Constitution to fit their worldview.

[William Spencer]

Well, If you have to make personal attacks you have already lost the argument. People should do for themselves it is not the governments job to do for you. Take responsibility for yourself. I do not want less public services, I want no public services. If Helen Keller could be productive being deaf, dumb and blind the excuses for disability are complete bull. She did it others can too. But why bother with someone with out the ability to make an argument. Insults are never argument.

"Religious liberty" = "christian america"

[LoneRookRS1]

That's a pathetic comment. You think right-wingers work harder? They work for themselves, and have no sympathy for others. You know what right wingers also do? They preach lower taxes, fewer public services, and the demonisation of those unable to work or make money. Say what you want about your precious right-wing, but you can't build a society on hollow profiteering, you self-important cunt.

'not a shred of evidence'!? Just yesterday she went on a radio show and announced she had unveiled a conspiracy by the Muslim brotherhood to infiltrate the White House. The clip is on The Young Turks if you want to watch. She's totally incompetent let alone a person who loves spreading hateful lies about others.

All of the accusations I listed are proven either on Wikipedia or various YouTube videos.

Please be aware I am not a one-sided liberal, but rather an open-minded conservative.

[Yesica1993]

And yet not a shred of evidence for any of these accusations.

Stop wasting my time. Take your slander elsewhere.

Lol, she has no clue what religious liberties are

[Sammy Wade]

I'm a Catholic and I identify politically as conservative but seriously she is an embarrassment for the American right. She as made numerous gaffe's and some of her beliefs are insane. Her desire to invade or possibly nuke Iran, her total disregard for the Palestinian people, her support for torture and her hatred against the gay community are a few examples to contradict your analysis of her being a 'lovely lady'.

Thank you, Rep. Bachmann, for fighting this fight.

She's a wonderful lady and a true public servant!
