I object as much as anyone else to the Democrats' anti-religious and anti-Christian bigotry, but this plank is just stupid.

"the United States of America is a Christian nation."

I pray that it will be someday.

It's about time the Republican Party starts to distinguish itself from the Democrats and acknowledge America as a Christian Nation.

("our nation was founded on fundamental Judeo-Christian principles based on the Holy Bible").

It's true.

This stupid argument is totally semantical. Everyone knows most of the founders were Christians. But clearly the constitution forbids a state religion, so what is this supposed to prove? It can only antagonize Jewish voters who polls show will support Bush in greater numbers than in 2000.Why inhibit this trend?

Ms.Youngis completely wrong here. America was founded by Anglo-Protestant Americans and this has been the core of our polity and culture ever since.
It may hurt the feelings of Blacks, White ethnics, Jews, and newer non-white immigrants, but it is an objective fact.
To be blunt, Ms. Young has not beenfully assimilated and wishes to see America as some form of idea and not nation.

It's things like this which kept Bush away from the Texas GOP gatherings in 2000.

It may pass as a Texas plank but will be quickly dismissed as a national plank if it even gets proposed.

"the United States of America is a Christian nation."

If the US was a Christian nation it would have stopped the slaughter of millions of Christians in Sudan. After all Sudan is a a worthless third world country with practically no military force to worry about.

The U.S. is a religiously tolerant nation founded by Christians. This is what the Forefathers intended and if we turn our backs on this fine tradition, we are headed for religious chaos. The same kind of chaos which motivates Islamists, who wish our country harm. Give me Jeffersonian America any day.
