Secularism, by its very definition, is the enemy of all religion.<BR/><BR/>And where do you get off saying that caring for the environment is a religion? Silly me. I thought it was based on science. Religion, by definition, is a matter of faith.<BR/><BR/>DR is right. Our founders were, for the most part, deists. Even those men of faith, notably <BR/>Roger Sherman, were vehemently opposed to any government entanglement with religion.<BR/><BR/>George Washington said it best when he declared "The United States is in no way founded upon the Christian doctrine."<BR/><BR/>When getting your American History, try reading or listening to something other than Pat Robertson. Your post parrots everything he's ever said on his show.Sean C.

If you know anything about Masonry it is antithetical to Christian beliefs, perhaps even Luciferian. The founders remembered their Puritan forefathers such as Cotton Mather's witch hunts, and the supreme power of the Church in Europe. They wanted the seperation to protect the Church from the State as well as the State from the Church.<BR/> We are a SECULAR society, period. Now, that doesn't mean people are not Spiritual, which is what really challenges the power structure of the Church, the flock developing their own individualized beliefs.<BR/> If you want Religion in school, perhaps we should look at the other side of the coin: tax Churches because they have been meddling in politics. No more free ride. <BR/> Environmentalism is a secular religion?<BR/> What ever happened to Christians being good stewards of the Earth?Dojo Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057645566330892415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-82307463277271384692009-03-19T13:05:00.000-07:002009-03-19T13:05:00.000-07:00"Congress shall make no law regarding an establish..."Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion, <I>or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."</I><BR/><BR/>There's a problem inherent in uniform public primary education, which didn't even take its first steps until the founding generation were all dead. That is that a public near monopoly forces all sides into school boards or state legislatures to impose their own desires on everyone if they want any say in how their own children are educated. Norris, et al are being entirely rational only in so far as they're saying, "hey, our tax dollars are being spent to educate our children and we'd like a say in how they are educated."<BR/><BR/>The secular left want it both ways, they got custody of the nation's children for thirty hours a week for twelve years (minus summers, plus homework), and they want prayer and the bible off the table during that time because they're spending taxpayer money so "no establishment," but they get to promote an environmentalism that amounts to a secular religion when carried to its extreme conclusion, and they're offended when the parents get uppity or any other ideology wants a piece of the action.<BR/><BR/>As for America's secular government, I think there's some modern revision going on here. John Adams said "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." That's actually debatable and you may disagree with it. But it was a common sentiment at the time. The fact is, the secular government was founded by and initially co-existed with a deeply religious populace. The current state of play, where "no establishment" is interpreted so broadly as to crowd out "free exercise" is largely a twentieth century invention.Dave R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00767476872158176086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-58850245034011625722009-03-16T13:16:00.000-07:002009-03-16T13:16:00.000-07:00...I never called for my State to secede or anythi...<I>...I never called for my State to secede or anything resembling rebellion.</I><BR/><BR/>I'm sure you didn't.

Hallelujah! Testify Brother Rat!Great post!...Amen! Hallelujah! Testify Brother Rat!<BR/><BR/>Great post!<BR/><BR/>The fact is, the Republican philosophy has been based on division, on playing races and classes against each other since through the 20th Century.<BR/><BR/>Economically, their whole philosophy is based on complete laissez faire, which was discredited as a result of the Great Depression. Everything Harding, Coolidge and Hoover did brought us to that point. Reagan and both Bushes took that philosophy to heart and look where we are now - on the brink of Great Depression 2.0.<BR/><BR/>I'm no fan of Clinton, but the worst things he did was borrowing from the Republican playbook on things like NAFTA, GATT, the WTO, and Star Wars/SDI. It's why I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000.<BR/><BR/>If history is any indication, we won't get out of this current depression with any help from the party who's spokesman says he wants Obama to fail.Sean C.

America got where it is, because Americans can work together. Greece (where I live) is where it is, because Greeks don't always work well together.<BR/><BR/>I think that should be food for thought for all.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>- KostasKostas Tountashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361957279413958852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-65525850149748600622009-03-15T20:20:00.000-07:002009-03-15T20:20:00.000-07:00Sorry, but lobbiest payola aside, there are vast d...Sorry, but lobbiest payola aside, there are vast differences between Democrats and Republicans.<BR/> Let me say that I was born in 1959, so I can't comment on Dresden.<BR/>My first political awareness was when Kennedy was killed. Then his brother. Then MLK. And not by lone nuts, either. Then Watergate. Then Iran Contra. Then the Savings and Loan scandal. <BR/>Then Bill Clinton got a blowjob. Big Deal. <BR/>Then the stolen 2000 election.<BR/> Then Cheney's energy task force which is still classified. Then ignoring every warning from our own CIA and every other country intel about the pending 911. Then the lies for the Iraq war.<BR/> Do we see a pattern here?<BR/>Let me point out that Norris says all this in the context of arming himself to the teeth on his Texas ranch (which I have no problem with) but contextually he links it to a potential armed rebellion (In a linked interview with Glen Beck). If a lefty said that they would be toast. All at a time when the shambles of the right wing via Limbaugh are openly calling for Obama to FAIL. Calling Obama a Commie, Islamic, etc. etc.<BR/> Everyone reading this blog is smart enough to read between the lines.<BR/> As dissapointed as I was at the Cheney administration, I never called for my State to secede or anything resembling rebellion. I donated money to three political campaigns (and the Red Cross) and lent my support in ways I could. <BR/> Imagine if someone like the editor of "The Nation" magazine talked like Norris during the Cheney administration. Jail time. Remember spokesflack Ari Fleisher saying at a press confrence that "The American people had better watch what they say" after 911?<BR/>But all-in-all, I love the frank discussion. Thanks for all the great comments and criticism, it's all good and it wouldn't hurt to build a national dialogue on this stuff.Dojo Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057645566330892415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-72054772787858662042009-03-15T16:49:00.000-07:002009-03-15T16:49:00.000-07:00A couple comments.First, I lost all respect for Ch...A couple comments.<BR/><BR/>First, I lost all respect for Chuck Norris when he appeared on the cover of Cigar Aficionado to announce that he was creating a line of cigars called "Lone Wolf Cigars." He was going to use the proceeds to fund his Kick Drugs Out of America Foundation.<BR/><BR/>In short, he's going to use drug money to support an organization opposed to drug use.<BR/><BR/>That is wrong in so many ways that I could be here all night typing away.<BR/><BR/>However, I do support the right of individual states to secede from the union. In fact, Texas has one of the most active secessionist movements and I fully support it. The last thing we need is to give a third Bush a chance to use an elected office in Texas as a springboard to the presidency.<BR/><BR/>All the oil's been taken from the ground in Texas, so there's nothing they can offer the rest of the country that we can't get in any of the other states.<BR/><BR/>As a former Connecticut Yankee, I remember how Texans used to drive around with bumper stickers that said "Freeze a Yankee - Raise Oil Prices."<BR/><BR/>Sure, there are a lot of great musicians from Texas, like ZZ Top, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Edgar Winter and Steve Earl among countless others. But I don't consider that reason enough to keep Texas in the union.<BR/><BR/>If they want to go, I say "Buh-bye! Don't let the door hit you on your selfish, egotistical ass on the way out!"Sean C.

I'm not entirely sure where you stand on the subject. :)<BR/><BR/>There were a couple of chuckles: <BR/><BR/><I>Bombing and torturing civilian populations in other countries was just fine...</I><BR/><BR/>I'm sure you're familiar with Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and Dresden, and Manzanar. Nasty things that administration did, weren't they? Some would say that they were justified by the national security situation of the United States at the time. Others might disagree. But it is hardly possible to ignore the Democratic Party's historical connection with some truly hellacious civilian bombings. I bring it up only as a means of showing that it is not at all as though Republicans = evil and Democrats = good. The situation is tad more complex than that.<BR/><BR/>I also note that according to the column you linked to, Chuck's specific concern is that the country is gradually moving toward totalitarianism, and that he notes that "...Republicans...were taking us to the same place, just slower." It appears that you and Chuck share a dread of totalitarianism.
