sjvcon Report post Posted June 6, 2010 .. see the writings of Cass Sunstein (a man who is not elected but has been empowered to affect our rights). That guy is a complete TOOL. Yeah ... a TOOL who's been empowered by a TOOL. No wonder Obama can take vacations all the time ... he just has a bunch of Czars (all whackos) doing his work for him ... none of them elected to office (nor could they be ... too whacko).

azbownunter22 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 Yep. I have an opinion, and that is that this country's problems are spiritual. It's the frog in the pan analogy: If you throw a frog in a pan of boiling hot water, he'll jump out - fast! But, if you put him in a pan of room temp water and turn the burner on low, he won't notice any drastic change, adjust to the minor changes and eventually boil into someone's dinner. Ever notice how most older folks have manners, common sense and gravity? They come from a generation that was closer to the forming of this great country when Judiac/Christian principles were the norm in just about everyones' lives. If anyone tells you that this country was not founded on these spiritual principles, they don't know the history or they are just flat out lying. The separation of church and state is not in the constitution. The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Obviously, the words "separation," "church," or "state" are not found in the First Amendment; furthermore, that phrase appears in no founding document. In a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists in 1802, Jefferson uses the term, "wall of separation" to insure the church of no government encroachment. The original intent of any separation was to keep the government out of the people's faith - not to keep our faith out of the government. Almost to the last man, (the crafters of the constitution) statements are recorded saying, "Without morals and RELIGION, a free nation cannot stand". What religion do you think our fathers were refering to back in the late 1700's? Where are we today? A potporri of various religions coupled with a serious lack of faith and morals in this country. Nobody seemed to notice. I hope and pray that we as a country are not completely boiled yet. I choose to stay outside of the boiling pan we call modern culture. I don't care if I'm viewed as an oddball. I want to be like our founding fathers; I'm a Christian. Mike I'm a Christian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
