From Thomas Jefferson's 1802 "Letter to the Danbury Baptists" (www.loc.gov):

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.

Having lived in AZ for many years, I cheerfully recall the "Duke" Tully affair (en.wikipedia.org). Darrow Tully was a rightwing blowhard publisher of the state's two biggest newspapers, a macho boy who yammered incessantly about his service in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, wore an Air Force colonel's uniform to gatherings, and was a total fake. These righties sure do love them some uniforms. For some ideas (this company had some nifty, if stark, ideas some years ago and may have taken a few steps back since then) contact: Hugo Boss Fashions, Metzingen, Germany.
