If she feels that way, then she should support churches paying taxes. I'm sure the church would disagree
No, I think we are supposed to pay taxes to the church.
@@jamescovan8853 Sadly, it may come to that it the Repuks win everything.
In the Catholic Church they are called offerings and are completely voluntary.
@@jamescovan8853 Churches scam their members enough with zero return. At least with taxes we get roads, parks, sanitation, etc. With the 10% going to the "church", most of it goes into the pastor's pockets and elaborate church improvements like big screen TVs, surround sound, stage lights, fog machines, and everything else you need to trick people into believing their interpretation of The Bible.
That is brilliant! Love it and long overdue.
Funny how they'd also argue that they love the constitution and freedom but do and say the exact opposite
This is beyond silly. She doesn't seem to know her history very well, or at all. The founding fathers were trying to flee the tyranny of English rule at the time, which blended very intimately with religion vis a vie a form of christianity. They desperately wanted to get away from that, and she's saying the founding fathers wanted the state to be run by the church?!!!? Nuts, man. Apparently no one in that crowd knew their history either.
Hypocrites. The lot of them.

Kitty you’re not much different than a nazi.
Empty words and lies, empty brains.
She's the poster child of ignorance and should inspire kids to stay in school!
At least when they take a shower they can feel clean when they come out of the shower.
I agree but, there are 70 million Americans that agree with her. We have 330 million and only half vote . We need to make Americans aware of their duty to vote, and push them to fight back against this wave of insanity. November vote better be blue . 2024 also . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. 🙈🙈🙈

“It’s not in the constitution!”
Literal first sentence of the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…

Freedom of religion is in the Constitution yes. But separation of church and state specifically is not.
@@PlumbPitiful can we not clearly infer from that statement that religion is not to be a part of the government?! Certainly FAR more clearly than interpreting 2A that any American can own ANY weapon!
But it just says that Congress can't mess around with religion. Forget about the intent behind the constitution, simple wording is all that matters, as long as it is in my favor! Anyways, yeah, this is pretty disturbing.
It gets even better. The second clause of Article 6 reads:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
Note that it elevates any treaties made to the same status as the Constitution itself: the supreme law of the land.
Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, ratified unanimously by the Senate on July 7, 1797, leads with this:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."
The Senate unanimously agreed that the United States of America is not a Christian nation. And they did this less than 10 years after the Constitution itself was ratified.
The funny thing is these people cry freedom, yet the more religious a society is, the less free it is....
90% Of these fake Christians have never read the Bible. Boebert and trash like her have no idea what they are talking about.
Freedom to agree with them
But they only cry about freedom as it concerns their ability to impose their way of life on others.
Taliban has entered the chat and offers a brochure...
freedom to oppress
The fact that she calls it "junk" shows such a gross lack of respect for this country. Never mind the utter lack of the knowledge.
And these deficits of respect and knowledge are proven every time she speaks on any given topic.
So... after getting pregnant in HS, Loren needed money to support her lifestyle. She made herself available for sex with older men, sugar daddies. She got pregnant two more times, but terminated both with ABORTIONS. She then went on to marry her husband, she met when he exposed himself to her in a bowling ally, to have four lovely little boys they feature in the Christmas cards packing AR's. Loren is very special... but not in a good way.
If the time comes when matters get so out of hand that such theocracy may occur I will happily do battle with guns in hand.
Very well stated.
But she earned a GED! She's BRILLIANT!
'Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state'... is absolutely essential in a free society.'
-Thomas Jefferson
'Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.'
-Thomas Jefferson
The Founding Fathers would be turning in their graves with what is happening in American politics
Turning in their graves?!?
They'd be spinning so fast that you could stick a turbine on them for power generation.
@@RustyDust101 That's the Republican plan for renewables. Their bullshit never runs out.
When JFK campaigned to become the first catholic president he emphasized the separation between church and state. Not because he wasn't a devout Christian (although he did rather enjoy the forbidden fruits), but because large parts of the country viewed a catholic president with suspicion. The separation of church and state allowed him to argue that he was not going to impose his personal religious beliefs as state policy and helped take away such fears.
This shows how the separation allows people to participate in the political discourse regardless of their religious background. It's rather perverse how a principle that exists to ensure inclusivity is painted by Lauren Boebert as being somehow discriminatory.
And she should perhaps be careful what she wishes for. Because who is to say that if an official state religion were to be imposed, that her particular denomination is going to be deemed acceptable by to state?
"Anything that endorses people I hate is discrimination."
“The church is supposed to direct the government”
The Taliban agrees.
They also love guns
What a great name
Y'all Qaeda, Vanilla ISIS and the Mayonnaise Militia agree with that statement too.
American religious leaders are pissed that the taliban gets to do what they want ,why can't we be oppressive, next will be state religions ,1950 here we come !!
Which church? The snake handling one from down South? 🐍
As a Christian my self. I believe in the separation of church and state. No religion should be forced onto people. If you mix them it will only destroy the county, the faith, and the people.
It would be hilarious if they forced my ass into a church because I sure wouldn't be one to behave. It would be bible confetti and hymnal desecration day every Sunday! I admit I have longed to sing my own (sophomoric but hysterical) parody of Bringing in the Sheaves in a church that I call Bringing in the Sheets all about the joys of doing laundry!
I'm with you 100%... Wasn't this like everyone's beliefs until relatively recently when more and more crazy people entered office? Like 20 years ago no one was saying this rediculous stuff ya know? If they were, they were considered the wacky far right fringe and most of us wouldn't listen to them.
@@TheKennethECarper If that ever happens that'll be the end of our freedoms, they wouldnt stop at religion, they'd go all out...it would lead to civil war no doubt.

As a history grad I have to denounce Boebert's insane account of separation of church and state. David Pakman's account is accurate that churches benefitted greatly from the doctrine, which preceded Independence by centuries. The doctrine wasn't invented by Jefferson, though he did write a letter about it. All of the founders, most Americans and most Britons for that matter supported separation of church and state as a positive, settled and sensible principle of government, and going without it was to risk violent religious wars and state repression of religion. In fact, Europe endured centuries of this very thing until religious and non-religious alike realized the two must be separate for the good of both.
People (Europeans particularly) emigrated to the new world and the US to avoid religious persecution. Thus, the the forefathers established the separation of church and state.
@@tj.espygil4544 My family came for the land and the opportunities, not religious reasons. I think that's a common misconception. Apart from the Puritans, Jews from eastern Europe are the only other group I can think of that came due to religious reasons. Oh, and one branch of my family came in the 1600's. For the land.
A long time ago someone said "men will never be free until the last king has been strangled with the entrails of the last priest"
He was right
I have an idea. When someone files to run for office, they have to pass a written test on the Constitution or they can't run. Like getting a drivers license. Or just give them the test you have to pass to become a U.S. citizen.
i agree. AND they should take that test publicly. pass=100% no exceptions

"Its a letter" no. Its in the treaty of tripoli. Treaty is treated as law. "The united states is in no way a christian nation."
These "traditionalists" should actually read the laws they claim to want to uphold
they obviously aren't reading their bibles either.
That takes too much effort, they'll just believe whatever their pastor says is in the buy bull.
I think she meant that the exact phrase "separation of church and state" is in a letter, which is true.
Not that it matters. The concept is absolutely clear in the first amendment, and even more blatant - as you said - in the Treaty of Tripoli.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." - the First Amendment
It really couldn't be any freakin' clearer, could it?!

I’m irreligious bordering on agnostic and I completely agree
Be careful if you live in a red state, this supreme court is actively working for that to be possible
I’m an inactive Christian and I don’t want a theocracy. Forcing other people to live under laws based on a religion they may or may not believe in isn’t just a stupid idea, it’s an evil one. It undermines the very principle that this country was founded on: FREEDOM.
I'm tired of the separation of Republican Officials and 🧠🧠🧠!
We should have a separation of government and Republicans.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
How fucking hard is that to understand?
“That’s not in the Constitution.”
Evidence that Boebert has never read the Constitution she swore to defend. The first line in the First Amendment states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Separation of Church and State is absolutely in there!
Apparently you can get a GED without taking American history. Wonderful.

-Or actual literacy for that matter
I tutored for a number of tests, including GED. It does include some very basic government studies, but it's part of the general social studies / history part, and you could almost certainly pass while getting every question about the Constitution and Federal Government wrong
Of course, the real trick is, someone can know the "correct" answer and still believe that it's BS. I think that's more likely in her case.
They skip right to The Second Amendment without even reading the First, don’t they???
And right past the "well-regulated militia" part.
Disparages the first ammendment but constantly quotes the second. Anyone running for political office needs to be required to take and pass a civics exam.
That woman is clueless and a menace.
No...she's a liar and a conartist and will say anything as long as the money roles in.
Will the people of her district recognize this and vote her out or is this just dumbed down wasteland on the Colorado map?
The First Amendment says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Church and the government are supposed to be separate, and the church isn’t supposed to direct the government!

Of course she is tired of the Separation of Church and State - she believes it will be her version of her religion, that will get to decide everything.
Thankfully the Founding Fathers were way more rational than her.

As a Christian, I disagree with her. There is good reason to keep church and state separate. It is also explained in the bible. Religious principles and beliefs are good, in my opinion, but should not be forced upon others by government or individuals
As an ex christian aethiest, I wonder if she has seen 1 tim 2:12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. (NIV ) 👍.

@@frarfarf she needs to be fired by her constituents.
I got the feeling,her time in office of not representing them, but her own opinion instead....is finished.
This is one of my biggest fears. Is that the country will be taken by these extremists. The churches need to pay taxes and stay the hell out of our government. I had a negative look at religion in 7th grade world history class when I read about what the catholic churches did to people. That every major war at some point was because of cultural differences. I despise religion because to me it's a form of brainwashing. I don't hate people who pray or follow a faith, but I hate when people think they are above all because of their faith.
This lady needs voted out ASAP
And that's the reason for the separation of church and state. The church shouldn't be involved in politics nor be in a position to affect laws. You might think the church doesn't want to write legislation or affect government policy and so the church's role in society is pretty banal. But remember when the world was ruled by theocracies and the church's power was absolute; when they didn't have anyone controlling their power they were absolutely capable of committing atrocities in the name of god.
We don't want to go back to that.
I think that boat has sailed already the way the SCOTUS has been ruling.

We all know the dangers posed by a theocratic government. Or do we? I would rather not find out.

This Falls apart as soon as you were to replace Christianity with any other religion. This is insane.

@@VintageRitz Well, as a foreigner looking at the US, I see a big hole in that text... it depends on how you want to interpret the text, broadly or narrowly. I get that in a broader sense it is about separation of church and state. But in the narrowest sense, what I'm seeing is: Congress, and only Congress, since no other branches are mentioned, isn't allowed to establish an official religion in the country or prohibit the free exercise of religions. Another key word is prohibit. It doesn't say anything about favoring some over the others. I assume those "some" will be whatever evangelicals want, Protestantism and maybe Catholicism. And in case you're thinking this version of interpretation is way too narrow and absurd... take such a case involving the establishment clause to SCOTUS and see what happens.

The Founding Fathers were Unitarians, that was the closest thing you could get to atheism back in the 1700s
Boebert probably puts all her credence into a cult named WallBuilders, led by a theocratic revisionist named David Barton. Only the worst among atheophobes can win her approval.
The founding fathers were diverse. Some were straight up theocrats and others deist or atheist in views. None were southern baptists or evangelicals.
The founding fathers were FREE MASONS! They were scientists and deists who didn’t rule out the existence of a god but refused to be enslaved to it aswell. These unhinged theocrats need to be handled.
On a Christmas episode of the Simpsons,
One of the very Christian Flanders kids got a video game from Santa. It was called Bible Blaster. The idea was to shoot little devils. If you got a good hit, the devil turned into an angel. If you just winged it, the devil became a Unitarian.
I am an atheist. She has no right to push her BS ideology on anyone. I respect people's right to believe whatever magical stories they want to. Just keep it to yourself.
agreed 👍 I have no problem with people having beliefs.. just don't push it on us atheists. We are some of the kindest people around. We don't spu hate like the religous.
I just want to know one thing..how can something come from nothing?
Joe your argument is dumb. How do you know we came from nothing? You know nothing and it will stay that way. Get over it.
This is beyond silly. She doesn't seem to know her history very well, or at all. The founding fathers were trying to flee the tyranny of English rule at the time, which blended very intimately with religion vis a vie a form of christianity. They desperately wanted to get away from that, and she's saying the founding fathers wanted the state to be run by the church?!!!? Nuts, man. Apparently no one in that crowd knew their history either.
@@joeshmoe8952 in what context? Because I qsk the same about "God".
When being interrogated by Pontius Pilate, the Rabbi from Nazareth stated, "My kingdom is not of this world." When being interrogated by a Jewish lawyer, the Rabbi responded, "Render unto Caesar." As to this lady and her ilk who are hypocritical and use religion for political purposes, the Rabbi described them as "sons of hell" and a "den of vipers."
What Would Jesus Do? Not a single d___ thing these republicans are doing.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion….”
Let’s put the Amish in charge of directing the government. Little Lauren Boebert will look so adorable in her Little House on the Prairie outfit.
Dont think Amish would let a ho-ker be part of their community
@@littlebitofhope1489 Are you sure? We could have a big ass party like it’s 1899!

It's as primitive as can be…
No more AR-15s when you’re in an Amish Paradise…
I gotta brand new Blunderbuss to defend the Boebert Paradise…
Gonna subjugate all my wives living in the Amish Paradise…
Hooking up tha buggy! Churning up da butter!
The Amish are pacifists and pretty egalitarian. Pretty sure by Republican ideology they're considered full on communists.
So… she’s okay with Sharia Law. Lmao.
well the Christian version so no berkas or hijabs.
There's a book called The Founding Myth I've been meaning to read, about exactly how we are explicitly NOT a Christian nation.
The Irish had wars in the streets for decades over religions,so we really want to go through that .Forcing any religion on the masses has never worked and never wilk
Just another good reason for a national divorce, we can't reasonably work with these people.
The 2nd Amendment is really important and sacrosanct.
The 1st?......not so much.
The 1st amendment violates the 1st commandment
@@millabasset1710 Lol. So what?
The 1st commandment doesn't (and shouldn't) appear in the US Constitution.
Thankfully the Founding Fathers were way more intelligent than people like you.
The misguided ideas of people in 1st Century Palestine (codified in the bloodthirsty Bronze Age barbarism of the Bible) has zero relevance to 21st Century civilized society.
@@millabasset1710 Who cares? The 10 commandments have zero bearing on our government.
If you ate at her alleged Restaurant, you don’t have a prayer!
She still won her primary. Her district is cursed.
She is ignorant. The guidelines for public officials need to be updated. The main thing…know the constitution that swear to uphold and protect.
Hmm, profound thoughts from the GED Queen. Maybe she should take a few classes at the local community college as well.
Apparently, she thinks The Handmaid's Tale is a civics class.
So Lauren's tired of the constitution. Well that's not exactly breaking news to anyone thats been spent more than one waking minute in the last few years.
As tired as she might be of the separation of church and state and...y'know...the Constitution...they're all even more tired of her. The mindless gibbering that she inflicts on the outside world is amazing. Some of her colleagues that say this nonsense are doing it to manipulate their base...I think she's just spouting whatever stray thoughts happen to fire within the chocolate pudding (love it) of her mind.
Cra-cra-Christians!!!
The American Christian Taliban. She wants to be back in the kitchen apparently.
Would serve her right if the church that ended up running the government turned out to be one that didn't believe in getting involved in politics. You know, "My Kingdom is not of this world", etc. 🤣
And, of course, she won the primary. Ah, the country just keeps demonstrating how screwed up it is.
Exactly, how many denominations of Christianity are there? From one Bible? There is one constitution, but we must all interpreted the same way. Over 300 million people
That's what the Supreme Court is for (theoretically). Like all laws, it doesn't really matter if you agree with it, you have to obey it anyway, and SCOTUS is who interprets the Constitution.
Of course, the Constitution can also be updated, and precedent challenged (as we have seen recently...) if the country decides that the current interpretation is not to its liking. We're just to shattered to make that happen now.
@@martinmckee5333 Yeah, I think at this point the people should just vote on policy and get the middleman out of there, and middle women. We would get a lot more done and have more policies that we agree .
Tired of people like her who don't understand how things work
She was definitely dropped on her head as a child. The only question is whether or not it was intentional. 😳
And she just won her primary. Maybe I should start praying 🙄
Kinda ironic Lauren because I am tired of you joining immorality and indecency with state.
She seems confused on how usa is supposed to work lol
She's confused on how Velcro works!
Isn't there some sort of law that restrict her from giving false information?
When you think other people should be forced to follow your religion.. Ffs.
