Republican Baptists . . . believed that Jefferson would enforce a more decisive split between church and state

Wow, how times have changed. Republicans looking to enforce the separation of church and state? It’s almost unbelievable!

Incidentally, one of the Big Block of Cheese Day episodes featured CJ (and maybe Josh?) in a meeting with a committee spearheading more accurate world maps as a means to end discrimination. And there is definitely an archived mentalfloss article dealing with accurate and politically correct maps. Yay.

“Leo, wouldn’t the time be better spent plotting a war against a country that can’t possibly defend itself against us?” Toby asks.

“We can do that later, Toby. Right now I’m talking about President Andrew Jackson…. Jackson wanted the White House to belong to the people, so from time to time, he opened his doors to those who wished an audience…. It is in the spirit of Andrew Jackson that I, from time to time, ask senior staff to have face-to-face meetings with those people representing organizations who have a difficult time getting our attention. …. I know the more jaded among you, see this as something rather beneath you. But I assure you that listening to the voices of passionate Americans is beneath no one, and surely not the peoples servants.”

Or something like that.
