Today’s America Would Shock the Founders
In the Dec. 10 article about Canada’s Supreme Court allowing the introduction of a law allowing same-sex marriage, one truly wonderful comment jumped out at me. Prime Minister Paul Martin’s statement that “religious beliefs must be held separate from the nation’s laws” is an exact opposite of the current philosophy espoused by the White House.
Although our founding fathers envisioned a separation of church and state, our president seems to want his religious beliefs on abortion, stem cell research and gay marriage crafted into law. We are definitely not the democracy the creators of the Constitution had in mind when they set down a blueprint for our country.
