Freedom of Religion?…yeah Right!…as Long as it is Theirs!

This is not about us. It is about a religious right movement aimed at controlling our private lives, who we can be with, what we can do in our bedrooms, and with our bodies.

And some how, they have ordained themselves with the superiority of God in their pursuit of this righteous behaviour that their beliefs are the only way to salvation. Wow! Such arrogance…

And now McCain, with this outrageous appointment of country bumpkin Palin, in his desperate efforts to be President, is willing to allow these selfish, self-interested groups and individuals to control his choices as his payment to the White House.

A group that he fell from grace with 4 years ago, prompting him to say, ‘to hell with everything else! I MUST be President!…

…Find me a winch with the most right wing beliefs available who is in anyway affiliated with politics…even if it is remote and out of touch…like someone from the Assembly of God group! Yeah, they are out there on the fringe of sanity…do we have anyone?

Who??? P-a-l…n? Nah! I don’t need to talk to her…just get her here…by the time they find everything out, I will have raised millions!

THAT will bring them back to me! I know she’s not the sharpest harpoon on the whaling boat! But her ambition blinds her so much that she will throw herself on the sacrificial world stage, and we will look like unknowing bystanders! Those voters will never get what it all means anyway!’

He knows that if he panders to them, no matter the damage done, that he has a better opportunity to fight for the position because it is a fact that the radical fundamentalists have a large following of sheep in their flock that are simple and can be appeased with single issue candidates.

God forbid they get bogged down in trivial details like understanding the complexities of the world. But why??? It is all God’s fate and design anyway, so why put the effort into being educated?

Statistics show that metropolitan areas with denser populations, and communities with Institutes of Higher Education, with members in the communities holding college degrees, are the areas that vote with their knowledge of a variety of issues.

Conversely, areas where the higher percentage of the demographic has a High School education or less vote conservative and usually from a fundamentalist dogmatic dictate issued from the pulpit of their tax free churches.

Can you honestly tolerate anyone standing on a pulpit telling you that it is God’s dictate that we drill for gas and oil? Or develop other natural resources with complete disregard for the environmental impacts?

I am REALLY confused here! On the one hand they are saying that the END is near so why bother worrying about these pesky environmental issues for our future generations….

…Yet they are intent on dredging our resources and continuing to propagate at rates that rival the rabbits!

Where does it say “Separation of Church and State”?

These words are not found in the Bill of Rights, the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence!

The first amendment states:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Separation of Church and State is not here! The concept MAY be here but it is not a “clear-cut” separation as we have been led to believe.

In our elected officials, is it even possible to separate what a person believes from what it takes to make the decisions theses officials are expected to make? If there is a bill to vote on that goes against ones moral standard, ( morals most likely based on a religion ) would not this standard rightfully have a part in the making of the decision? If this is a true assumption, and I’m sure it is, then it is impossible to ( as we have been led to believe ) separate church and state. It would thus also seem a logical assumption that —- You can take the “state” out of “religion” —- but you can’t take “religion” out of the “state”!

So, an example of the only legal separation is this:
When students want to pray in school, the Bill of Rights restrains any government employee from making any statement regarding it! The Bill of Rights plainly states there is no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion therefore there is only one thing government employees should be legally able to do…..and that’s to keep their mouths shut! This is the only true “Separation of Church and State” we all should be seeing, nothing more and nothing less!

If Rand Paul says the Federal govt should adhere strictly to US Constitution, why’s he against 14th Amendment?

Look at this:

I can understand being against “anchor babies”.

However, how can one claim to be a strict Constitutionalist, and then contradict something explicit in the US Constitution?
