Kennedy didn't put church in front of state, if that means anything. And some were worried about that, especially the people who actually wanted to put church in front of state, but not Catholic.

Once Reagan came along ...

No president has.

I'm not sure about that, but in any case you are correct about Reagan not putting it first, at least not the spiritually religious way.

Mammon was the religion of Reagan's handlers, and so it was with him. But my comment was in reference to Jerry Falwell and the moral majority getting all kinds of air play and platform directly from his administration.

And because they are religious the moral majority loses their freedom of speech?

Oh right ...

Every administration other than Reagan's was anti-free speech because they didn't actively promote the jut-job moral majority on the tax payer's dime.

No, I pointed out that nutjob Falwell and his Moron Monopoly followers got much greater exposure than they already had by way of all the photo-op White House visits. Falwell was already making quite a good living by telemarketing rancid religion to losers and taking their last dollar for years already, hardly any 'silence' there. Plenty of other shyster preachers before and after Falwell, and they are anything but silent, White House invite or not.

You say this: "You know (hopefully) that I said no such thing," then say exactly that: "Do you actually believe they should be silenced ... ?

Is not actively inviting some fat jaw and his clan of 'despisers of the body' (TY Nietsche) to the White House for cheek by jowl photos with the prez 'silencing' them?

But you are welcome to respond by saying you said no such thing and then saying that very thing in adjacent sentences, just like before, if you like.

Would you also ban Sharpton and Jackson from the Obama White House ... ?

I absolutely would, and there is nothing I've ever posted to indicate otherwise.

But here's something for you, something I'm sure won't upset you much at all; Why were religious leaders and experts, all of them male, allowed full audience at the congressional hearings on birth control, while not a single woman, from ministry or else wise, was given invitation in a matter that directly and most impactfully concerned women?

Didn't hear a peep of objection from you on that one. Too busy cheerleading, likely.

PS

Yeah, sorry if I accidentally hit home there with my comment about Falwell taking your last dollar.

During the Reagan administration?
You weren't on here then, of course the site din't exist then. Or are you talking about about the evils of the Obama administration?
And Falwell never got a dime from me.

So you are a purely anti-religious bigot , and I am not surprised you don;t see it, Klansmen don't think they are racists.

No, it was in 2012, and Obama had nothing to do with the Republicans who brought in the preachers and told the women to fuck off. Or are you saying that the president directs what Congress can or cannot do? Fucking idiot.

And if I'm a bigot at all (which no friends/co-workers/neighbors have ever said about me), much better to be the non-religious variety than hypocritical Moron Monopoly religio-bigot like you.
