With another Christmas season fast approaching I found this article by Congressman Ron Paul both timely and interesting. I agree with him wholeheartedly.

While I agree with him to an extent, I'm not sure why's he's blind to the fact that it's his own Libertarianism that is a major culprit.

Apparently you don't understand libertarianism the same way I do. A libertarian believes every individual should have the LIBERTY to express and practice their religion freely, without interference from the government.

The Constitution does not mandate a separation between church and state - only that the state not promote one official religion. There's a big difference in freedom OF religion and freedom FROM religion. Ron Paul has it right in pointing out that the Constitution guarantees freedom OF religion.
