GOP Rep. Boebert: ‘I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk’

Quote

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), who faces a primary election Tuesday, says she is “tired” of the U.S. separation of church and state, a long-standing concept stemming from a “stinking letter” penned by one of the Founding Fathers.

Speaking at a religious service Sunday in Colorado, she told worshipers: “The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. That is not how our Founding Fathers intended it.”

She added: “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk that’s not in the Constitution. It was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing like what they say it does.” Her comments were first reported by the Denver Post.

[...]

Just when you think the stupidity coming from some politicians can't get any worse.

It's also established that there needs to be 2 different sex chromosomes in order to reproduce. Xx xy, different and required for pro creation. 

Gender is in relation to the complex emotional,psychological and sociological complexity of humans.  However 2 primary biological sexs must be different to pro-create. Cannot be a little of each, both or neither to reproduce.  Human remains from a 1000 years ago will be either xx or xy. The personal feelings of the person that inhabited the corpse is not detectable.  

Wrong. Did you take a genetics course in college?

Not at all.  Aside from a post questioning the timing of a post regarding the death of 13 Marines and Sailors, I can't think of anything I've posted to leave that impression, but if I did, my apologies.

Totally agree with this.  We have a saying in the Marine Corps, once a Marine always a Marine, with an expectation that those no longer on active duty continue to conduct themselves, and I presume that the other braches have similar expectations.  In my opinion, none of those veterans in attendance, regardless of branch of service lived up to this expectation. 

I doubt you were any more angered with this than I was.  I think that the military set a horrible precedent when they allowed any vaccine refuser to remain on active service.

Again, my apologies if I left that impression.

Thank you for doing this.  And it us beyond detestable that any of our service members are feel it necessary to buy any equipment, but it continues still, and is a much bigger problem for our service women.

No need to apologize.  It was my error.  Thanks for bringing up the point about women.  I found a list of organization that direct their energies to female soldiers.  That disparity never occurred to me.

Agree. Exceedingly stupid. If she ever read the constitution, she sure didn’t understand it. Not to mention history! In the 16th century, Europe was still dealing with centuries of devastating and expensive religious warfare. I can’t imagine the founders being dumb enough to want the same thing for their brand new republic, regardless of their personal religious opinions.

On the other hand, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded on religious intolerance, so it’s definitely part of our heritage.

BTW, There’s a long-standing conspiracy theory on the radical left regarding “dominionism” - a term used to describe the effort to impose Christian theocracy on the United States. (There are those who would argue that the US already is a theocracy.) It’s statements like Boebert’s that make me go “hmmm…”

It’s a big subject and likely to blow up the forum, so I’ll leave it there.

I don't think a course would help and I also doubt they have the pre reqs anyway.  Simple minds need simple explanations.  There's boys and there's girls because God made it that way so that paradigm is absolutely correct and there must be no exceptions.  I definitely spend more time thinking about what's for dinner than others spend on how does that gender thing work?

And as far as I know (or have read in the Bible), Mary was the only woman who had a spontaneous pregnancy, which involved no combination of X's nor Y's.

That’s nothing have seen many immaculate conceptions over the years in the ER.  Even a nurse that was crowning but had no clue she was pregnant.

Unfortunately, most of us doubt that you are a health professional based upon your ignorance of a variety of things basic to the nursing profession.  Even this odd comment of yours makes it seem very unlikely that you are a health profession.

I saw quite a few “I’m pregnant?!?” reactions when I worked er. but can’t recall any woman ever saying she couldn’t be pregnant d/t not having sex. So I’m gonna go with a hard no on your username.

And yet, here you are lobbing regurgitated talking points and personal insults into the conversation. If you don’t care what anyone thinks, then what’s your point?
