quote: In the post-September 11 environment, Ashcroft decided to inspire his Justice Department employees by starting each day with song. But such godless standards as the "Star Spangled Banner" just wouldn't suffice. Ashcroft wrote his own song, "Let the Eagle Soar," and forced his hapless subordinates to join him in a daily caterwaul of defiance to such outmoded concepts as "separation of church and state":

And I was actually being sarcastic! :eek:
Xeen:
Was Asscroft in the glee club or something in high school or college? That wouldn't surprise me, especially with Bush having been captain cheerleader in college.
I can't believe this is actually what the Justice Department spends its time on. Bush spends 40% of each year on vacation, Dick hides out in a bunker planning world domination, and Asscroft spends time writing songs and forcing his staff to sing them every morning. And then they wonder why our intelligence is so poor...

Learn the meaning behind where the phrase came from.
Thomas Jefferson fully intended the United States to be a Christian nation, but wished to endorse no particular denomination.
The phrase "wall of separation" was coined in a letter to a Presbyterian (I believe) congregation that thought that there should be a church presence in Congress. Jefferson fully disagreed, because the founding fathers did not want the church... the organization... meddling in government, and they didn't think that government should meddle in the affairs of the church.
They did, however, fully believe that it was a Christian nation, and a Christian government. I believe it was George Washington who said "without faith, you have no morals... without morals, you're no better than a tyrant king".
edit: I had to add in there... "PWNED J00, F001"
