in November, isn’t known for watching what she says — or, indeed, for knowing what it is that she’s saying. Her loose-cannon antagonism has made her the darling of those on the far right who define themselves not by how much good they can do in the world, but by how much they can “own the libs.” It’s not a political philosophy that lends itself to intellectualism; rather, it’s often a perfect example of a little learning being a dangerous thing.
The aphorism about"little learning," from the sharp pen of English writer and intellectual Alexander Pope, doesn’t stop there. “Drink deep,” says Part 2 ofCase in point: Boebert’s recent speech to the Cornerstone Christian Center in Basalt, as reported by. “The church is supposed to direct the government," she said."The government is not supposed to direct the church. That is not how our Founding Fathers intended it. I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk.
That statement earned a round of applause from the churchy audience. Boebert knows how to play to a specific crowd’s existing inclinations, especially if they’re of a darker sort that seeks ratification. That's the reason she was comfortable telling the untrue anti-Islamic elevator tale about fellow representative Ilhan Omar to a crowd sympathetic to white supremacy: because she says the quiet part out loud. Assures them that the selfish, solipsistic thing they might want to believe is okay.
The heart of the separation of church and state is in the Bill of Rights, of course, derived from the establishment clause that says that “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion.” And Boebert's idea that"the church is supposed to direct the government" is so gob-smackingly incorrect that it defies explanation. That Colorado has a representative who clearly demonstrates an utter lack of understanding as to the differences between a representational democracy and theocracy is both sad and dangerous.. The Jefferson letter, which held that America had “built a wall between Church and State,” is something the U.S. government has long respected.

Which church is supposed to rule? Our founding fathers banned religion from government because of mass killings between rival churches.
I wish she’d go back bowling alleys. That was a suitable rock under which this breed of insect can live.
Embarrassment to our state
