Let's not mince history here. There is a concerted effort to remove the "mention" of GOD anywhere in this USA. This President is on record for stating "America is NOT a Christian country". You may be an historian in your own rights, but this Democratic party has exposed it's agenda. Whether it is changing Christmas season to "Holiday season" Not allowing the mention of GOD in our Public schools. That is where I think the constitution and current liberalism differ. The term "separation of church State" is being overdone to accomodate 10% of this country. Remember , we all had prayer in all public schools. Many historic documents and movies show that with certainty. I am not blind to the direction of liberalism. A little at a time. The name of "Education" has replaced religion. Many Catholics choose the accredited private school education. Govt. has stolen that with "Forced" public education support. That is wrong. My $2,000 private education cost is equivalent to the $2,000 public ed cost "THAT I DO NOT NEED NOR USE". So Catholics pay $4,000 for Education . WHY? I know it is intentionally to financially Force me to Public ed. where I cannot even "pray". Just like the const says to keep our Govt out of religious liberty, I equate the financial duplication of Education as "stealing my religious support" I am on a mission to change that. Do you see my point.?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Democratic officials are moving President Barack Obama's convention speech Thursday indoors because of the possibility of severe weather. Obama had planned to accept his party's nomination in an outdoor football stadium before a crowd of up to 74,000 people. But Obama officials said forecasters have predicted severe thunderstorms in the 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. hour, raising concerns about the safety of supporters, volunteers, staff members and law enforcement. Officials said Thursday's entire program would be moved indoors, including Vice President Joe Biden's speech. The events will be held at the Time Warner Cable Arena, the site of the first two days of the convention proceedings. (http://www.weather.com/news/obama-speech-moves-indoors-20120905)
Do you care to be specific? What exactly about this "current history" of obama (2009-2012), do you want to challenge me on.? And if I don't hear back from you, let all the commentators here label you some mis-placed self-assessed Liberal elite-ist. Just to make it fair, you can do this with all your books open.
I'm not mincing history when I'm counterpointing your agrument. Dismissing the counterpoint to your agrument is beneath both of us. If you are going ot make a statement like "Do you know the founding Fathers had much diversity on religious beliefs. But, their constitution and Bill of rights is full of references to a creator, "GOD"" and found inaccurate, accept it. As far as an agenda to move away from Christianity. The government is supposed to be a representation of the people, all the people. And their is a slow shift away from Christianity. 32% of the world's population is Christian and about 75% (census bearu) of the nation's population considers themselves Christian. That is the lowest in history, so yes Christianity has been less emphasised. I disagree with the outright banning of prayer in school, but I do not agree with the mandatory prayer in school. I used to pray before football games and after games. This is a case of Judical branch interpretation of the Constitution, not liberal bill creating. I disagree with the change from "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays", but that wasn't due to liberal agenda, due to a lawyer making some money with a "damaged" client feeling excluded by a store for the cashier saying "Merry Christmas". Not wanting to be next on the litigation trail stores/companies made changes. That is your judical branch you need to blame for that. Religion and Education both start at home.
75% is indeed a super-majority in any poll. As I read through all your weak excuses for "Prayer" and Christmas, I am convinced you represent the minority of what America stands for. That is, A Christian Country undergoing assault by a minority. Let me add, up until now Christians have been much less aggressive in changing the playing field. This is no longer about "Book history". Rather it is about "moral History". I would prefer the minority use their own funds to make their case. I do not believe my money in the name of "public education" should support any opposing causes. A Fair tax from Christians to pay for "public education" that supports non-GOD and no prayer will be argued by a majority as they see the light.
I'm Glad there is someone else around here that "writes" the way I "Ride"
You strike with "history" and you are proven wrong. Then you change tactics and shown again you are speaking of opinions. I would like to know which founding fathers moral history you want to discuss. The ones who enjoy prostitution, slavery, etc... Just because the facts don't match your case. We are a great country established by great but human (flawed) people. We were based on a group of people running from tyranny of a Religious/Empire Government. But it's ok for us to create the religious constraints on our citizens, because that is our moral history? Because men that are obviously much greater than those we have in office had the forthought to create a doctine to stop it happening here. But much like Fox News or MSNBC lets not get facts get in the way of a good story.
You state that "many people in Dem party object to combining religion and politics" "People in Democratic party are Proud to be non-believers" (IN WHAT)? Dems would rather be Believers in a totally inept Obama who makes promises-promises, declares, give me another chance while this country is on the brink of supporting 50% population unable to find work to support themselves. Better to believe in a "GOD" than a false belief in someone who does not really care about YOU. Go join a worship group and maybe you will pesonally experience the love of others who share a much richer belief. Democrats like "John Kennedy" and prior to him would have scolded you for that assessment of the Democratic party.
