Summary: A Fine Book
Review: -Pardon my chuckle. Mr. Joseph J. Nagarya, in writing a derogatory review of this fine book, has styled himself as "Legal Professional, Constitutional Scholar, Ethicist" in Boston, Mass. The fact is that he is neither a "legal professional" nor a "constitutional scholar" nor an "ethicist". Neither the Massachusetts Bar Association nor the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers have any record of him and he is not now, and never has been, licensed to practice law there. A quick Google search will tell you all you need to know about his radical left-wing politics. This is an fine book. For greater detail and research, also be sure to read the very best book on the subject, David Barton's Original Intent.

Summary: Fantastic book about the Christian foundation of America
Review: If you want to read how the left has truly turned the Christian foundation of this country upside down, then read this book. Read how the interpretation of the First Amendment has been revised and utilized to the left's warped benefit...especially enlightening when seeing what's happening with the Ten Commandments monument in Alabama. Also amazing is that prominent universities such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, and others were ALL started with the intent of providing students with a firm foundation in morals and Christian education (compared to the liberal bastions they've become). If you want to read the REAL story on this country's beginnings, then this is a must read.

Summary: A Fine Book
Review: Whatever else Mr. DeMar is, he is not a scholar of the US Constitution and its history; nor, as important, able to distinguish between law and non-law. Law is made by elected representatives gathered together in the legislature. They are not made by such as letter writers or diarists. The US was not founded as, has never been, and is not now a "Christian nation". But Mr. DeMar leaves out the facts which substantiate that set of facts. Just at random, we have this from the Georgia constitution, framed on October 1, 1776, and unanimously agreed to February 5, 1777: Art. LXII. No clergyman of any denomination shall be allowed a seat in the legislature. And this: Art. LVI. All persons whatever shall have the free exercise of their religion; provided it be not repugnant to the peace and safety of the State; and shall not, unless by consent, support any teacher or teachers except those of their own [religious] profession. And from the first North Carolina constitution, framed by a "congress" "elected and chosen for that particular purpose," November 12, 1776, completed December 18, 1776 is this: XIX. That all men have a natural and unalienable right to worship . . . according to the dictates of their own consciences. And this: XXXI. That no clergyman, or preacher of the gospel, of any denomination, shall be capable of being a member of either the Senate, House of Commons, or Council of State, while he continue in the pastoral function. And this: XXXIV. That there shall be no establishment of any one religious church or denomination in this State, in preference to any other; neither shall any person, on any pretence whatsoever, be compelled to attend any place of worship contrary to his own faith or judgment, nor be obliged to pay, for the purchase of any glebe, or the building of any house of worship, or for the maintenance of any minister or ministry, contrary to what he believes right, or has voluntarily engaged to perform; but all persons shall be at liberty to esercise their own mode of worship: _Provided_ that nothing herein contained shall be construed to exempt preachers of treasonable or seditious discourses, from legal trial and punishment. As noted, those are at random. One finds the equivalent in virtually all state constitutions frmed and adopted during 1776 and 1777, and that of Massachusetts of 1780. Those separations between church and state were borrowed and incorporated into the US Constitution's First Amendment. In short, "separation of church and state" is the fact, and has been since even before not only the US Constitution was framed and ratified, but also before the prior Articles of Confederation. Anyone who asserts otherwise is either woefully uninformed, or consciously lying to advance an agenda on false grounds. The Commandment contrary to that lying reads: "Thou shalt not lie." Joseph J. Nagarya, Legal Professional, Constitutional scholar, and Ethicist
