My first and foremost loyalty is to the Constitution of the United States. Unfortunate inconvenience for most who would like to force ideology on others. The Constitution defends the rights of the sole individual over the whims of the mass collective. If we deviate from and not respect that truth we will soon be sharia law because it will be the NEW whim of the masses. Wanting a strict universal national religion opens the door for a new one to replace it. Every step of the way we need to fight against ALL forms of nationalized religion and respect the individual’s right to choose without persecution.

Is everyone so blind they do not see that Christianity is next up on the chopping block? And all because the individual freedom of religion is NOT respected even by Christians? They are stepping on their own toes and opening the door for something truly evil none of us need or want by wanting to compromise true individual freedom of religion. My whole point is we had better be cautious of what we wish for. Because in the end it will backfire and IT WILL NOT BE what we actually want.

“A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.” — Robert Frost

I suspect that the good poet might have had you in mind.

It’s the same as the “proposition nation” manure, which was invented so that its proponents could pretend that America doesn’t have a culture to defend.

Actually it just means that they don’t share in that culture in the first place, and they don’t intend for it to have any importance or any right to defend itself from cultures alien to the United States.

The United States is older than the Constitution, by more than a decade. And to paraphrase Robert Jackson, the Constitution is not a suicide pact. You and the Monkey God may have an uphill fight convincing many outside of the DNC convention.
