From TPM:
Christine O'Donnell: Where In The Constitution Is The Separation Of Church And State?
In a debate with Democrat Chris Coons this morning, Delware's Republican nominee for Senate, Christine O'Donnell, suggested the way she reads the Constitution, there's no ban on the government establishing or influencing organized religion.
"Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?" O'Donnell said, according to the AP.
The question came as part of a discussion over science education in public schools. O'Donnell "criticized Democratic nominee Chris Coons' position that teaching creationism in public school would violate the First Amendment by promoting religious doctrine." She also seemed unclear about what's in the Constitution itself.
"You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?" she asked, when Coons brought up the fact that the very First Amendment to the Constitution "bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion."
...
Smug, angry, billionaire-funded, fact-averse and ab-so-lute-ly fucking clueless.
Every day and in every way, Delaware's perky, empty-slogan-Pez-dispenser Republican senatorial candidate continues to prove herself to be the perfect embodiment of the Tea Party Movement.

This election cycle reminds me of any zombie movie.
Dull witted, slow and relentless they mass and pound on the doors of our fragile democracy.
It all falls apart though, because the bagger zombies have no craving, and are utterly exposed in their lack of......brains!!
Making ignorance a virtue since Ike!
-The Republican Party
The Republican party - at least since Nixon & the Southern Strategy, off and on since the late 1800s - thrives on ignorance and poverty. Whenever I see a map of US poverty levels, it just leaps out at me that those overlap with the strongholds of the Republican/Tea Party: the Confederacy, Mountain West states, Appalachia, etc.
I used to think that education and political self-awareness could defeat the ignorance and stop people from voting against their own interests. Not anymore.
Many of those poor, confederate-state Repub supporters - who will gladly vote themselves into serfdom - trace their heritage back to Civil War days. Ancestors who were driven off their small farms because they couldn't compete with wealthy slave-owning aristocrats, but then gladly fought and died supporting those same plantation owners. Plus ca change...
The Tea Party, formerly known as Bush's Base, We the Sheeple, the knuckle-draggers. (ok)
"You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?"
Mein Gott in Heimel!
...never in my lifetime did I think I'd live to see....
Saw the YouTube of this part of the debate. The audience cracks-up laughing, and this bimbo smiles like they are laughing with her, not at her. Clueless redefined.

I think the technical term is "abso-fucking-lutely".

What you need to realize is that those poor white ancestors fought for those slave owners because, as whites, they believed that they too could someday become slave owners themselves.
And that dynamic is still at work today. Yeah, they may be poor, but they're also white- sorry, REAL AMERICANS(tm), so one day they too will be part of the rich. That's why they're more than happy to support the party that sticks up for the big corporations.
