As we celebrate another Constitution Day, we should take time to reflect on the awesome gift of the Constitution and work to commit ourselves further to the principles of the Founding.

Also, as your wrote on your page, “Satan didn’t have the highest number of people in history killed in his name”, that technically is true. Communism has killed more people than any other ideology in the world’s history. From the purges of Stalin, the collective enslavement under Mao, and the slaughterhouses of Cambodia, more one hundred million people have been executed in the name of your fantasy.
All in the name of progress, right?

As I read your illogical comment and see your wall plastered with hammers and sickles, I have no doubt in my mind that either (a) you have never read the Constitution or (b) you don’t seek to take literally the words which are transcribed in the Constitution. In reality, the Constitution prevents you from creating your “worker’s paradise”.
It is your illogical and coercive ideology which is the basis of theocratic governance. It is a baseless religion of your mind’s making.

This is the only thing that prevents the Republicans from changing the USA into a christian theocracy.

Thank God for the Constitution.
Some may say it’s an outdated 20 page document that needs replacing. Well, if that’s the case then it what else could handle 2 World wars, a civil war, manage the greatest armed forces in the world, an economy of trillions and sadly but still shows power in just 20 pages to handle the US national debt.
Some of those things noted above are meant to take apart those 20 pages. That document’s power was designed for WE THE PEOPLE if we use it wisely or blindly.

@emberglance , I did not say that the constitution contains Scripture, or religious text. I said that it is based upon Judea-Christian principles. There are many articles of the constitution that are the same Christian principles, as written in the bible and most of the founding fathers were Christians. It is only, logical, as well as historically factual, to consider that the same principals by which they lived, were also used, to create our constitution.

@cowgirlmoon Are you sure you’re not thinking of the 10 Commandments there? The only religious element in the Constitution is that it guarantees freedom of religion. Otherwise it’s a specifically secular, political document – not based on Christian principles at all.

@melbrant , One more thing….. Your taxes do not support any church. It would be against the law for tax money to be given to any church. The fact that churches are exempt from taxes is not the same thing. Our tax money should not be spent on cool-aid, or the poisonous propaganda that the left, have been using to change the truth of our history. Did you know that much of our form of government was also based upon the governmental system of the Iroquois?

@melbrant , First of all, I do not belong to any church and if I did, you would have me “Confine my positions therein?” …… as opposed to exercising my 1st amendment rights? So my opinions do not belong here? Ha ha… Oh that is rich! People like you, who are unable to tolerate any opinion but your own, are exactly why our founding fathers were so careful to express our rights, “as endowed by the Creator!” Hahahahaha! Now aren’t you, just a hoot.

@cowgirlmoon It’s not the coolaid you are drinking, it’s the hidden ingredients that is affecting your thinking.
I will not discuss on this page anything other than the Constitution and the decisions of the courts that affect it.
Through my taxes , I am supporting your church, or place of worship, and I hope you will confine your positions therein. They do not belong on a site honoring our legally guiding document.

@melbrant , I was reiterating, not “grabbing out of the air. “Congress shall make no law respecting an ESTABLISHMENT of religion.” It does not say anything more than to forbid government from making laws regarding the ESTABLISHMENT of religion.
What do you think that means? The term, “Separation of church and state,” is not found anywhere, in the U.S. Constitution, or the Declaration of Indipendence.

@cowgirlmoon
In your statement “in other words, NO FEDERAL RELIGION, ……”, you grabbed this statement out of the air. The first amendment states very clearly what the law of the land is in regards to government and religion.

@melbrant , “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the the free exercise thereof.” It says nothing about prayer, or display of religious slogans, symbols, or prohibiting the mention of God. It says that congress shall make no law in ESTABLISHING a religion…. In other words, NO FEDERAL RELIGION, like….. “The Church of England.”

@melbrant , I didn’t say there was mention of any religion, I said it was founded upon Judea-Christian PRINCIPLES. Here is one example: Judeo-Christian Roots:
“If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.” (Numbers 30:2) American Founding Ideal: “No state shall.pass any. law impairing the obligation of contracts.” (U.S Constitution, Art. I, Section 10, Paragraph 1)

@cowgirlmoon
There is no evidence that the constitution was formed or founded on any religion much less the Judea-Christian principles. The Declaration of Independence nor the basic constitution mention any specific religion.
The 1st amendment “prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion”.
Recently a US District Court struct down an attempt to establish a national day of prayer, as unconstitutional.

@kiiifute1 Yes, you have to watch how you say things now, the regime have strong koolaide drinkers who are heavy committed drinkers of the jim jones juice of Obama, and they have thin skin when you point out the truth on what they are doing wrong to this great country of ours.
