I'm bumping this thread because it is an engine for divisive conversation. This is exactly what we need in this country. Its time to stop being nice to liberals. They don't give a **** about the country, all they care about is achieving their own warped, unrealistic view of what it should be. Look at Obama. We need a real culture war in this country to rid her of this disease known as liberalism.

Excellent point, but folks who are extremists won't understand that.
 
Say what you want. The truth is what you consider extreme is what the founnding fathers governed on. Why don't you say what it is you really mean, liberal. You hate the values this country was founded on. You hate that the constitution clearly outlines that our rights are GOD-GIVEN, and the government's role is to protect them. THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT GRANT YOU RIGHTS, AND WHAT THEY CAN GRANT, THEY CAN TAKE AWAY YOU F*CKING MORON.

WHEN WILL THERE BE ENOUGH GOVERNMENT FOR YOU???

No the truth is that the extreme nature of your posts perfectly demonstrates that you are exactly one of the extremists that are ruining this country. Doesn't matter whether you are on the right or on the left. You could care less about this country. All you care about is beating the other side. And guess what? Our rights are not God-given. They were written by men and can be changed through legal process. You don't seem to like that. You don't seem to like that times change and laws must change with them.

Say what you really mean, conservative. You don't give a **** about this country. All you care about is insulting liberals.

Moderator's Warning:
And, by the way, calling another poster names is a pretty significant violation.
 
Captain Courtesy beat me to it. Beware when your statement/argument can be just as easily "used" by the opposing side with the simple act of changing of a few nouns.

I have to agree with you. To many times I have seen that from both sides that beating the other person and being right is the main goal of many people. Actually you are right also about extremeists on either side are ruining this country. Thier own personal agenda comes first and the welefare of this country and the rest of us comes last.

I have also heard the statements that our forefathers ment for our government to be based on a belief in God. This statement is always made like it is a actual fact. If this is a fact then why did our forefathers insist on the seperation of church and state? Even though many of our forefathers did have a belief in God many did not and some were not sure. In any case they did not see any reason for the government to be run by the chruch or on religious principles. ?

In general, throughout the states, concessions were kept to a minimum. The new constitutions that were drawn up in all states from 1776 to 1780 were not much different from the old ones. Although property qualifications for voting and holding office were lowered in some instances, in Massachusetts they were increased. Only Pennsylvania abolished them totally. The new bills of rights had modifying provisions. North Carolina, providing for religious freedom, added "that nothing herein contained shall be construed to exempt preachers of treasonable or seditious discourses, from legal trial and punishment." Maryland, New York, Georgia, and Massachusetts took similar cautions.

The American Revolution is sometimes said to have brought about the separation of church and state. The northern states made such declarations, but after 1776 they adopted taxes that forced everyone to support Christian teachings. William G. McLoughlin, quoting Supreme Court Justice David Brewer in 1892 that "this is a Christian nation," says of the separation of church and state in the Revolution that it "was neither conceived of nor carried out. .,. Far from being left to itself, religion was imbedded into every aspect and institution of American life."

i'm impressed with your knowledge on the subject and realy appreciate the fact that you took the time to put the information here so we could all learn from it.

As far as I'm concerned nothing has changed. Religion is imbedded in every aspect and institution of the United States. Or should I say Christianity.
