But as MAGA Republicans try to merge the two into one, we ought to remember the words of James Madison that "religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together."

preach it. there are as many jihadists in America as anywhere else. But thankfully they're mostly of the keyboard variety.
