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

Sadly, If "America is a Constitutional Republic" was considered at all, it was probably rejected because it isn't something people can relate to.

This will please exactly one constituency: evangelical Christians who believe that the Republican party should promote Christian values. It will only serve to intensify criticism that there is no room for non-Christians in the GOP.

It is getting to the point in this country where Christians are not so much interested in their neighbors coming to Christ as they are their neighbors acting like Christians. The church has prospered amidst paganism and Communist oppression, but some seem to feel that unless we chisel the word "God" into every public building, the gates of Hell may finally prevail.

I agree absolutely. This plank is completely pointless (so, if the party is elected, then what do they plan to do about this?) and just amounts to trolling moderates.

As one who lives in Tx I agree. Founded on religious priciples, whatever, but why state it so narrowly? Grrrr

Well, I'm glad to see it included.

Why are the narrow-"minded" so dismayed to see this? Is it because you are so completely cowed by the liberal main-stream media that you have bought into the idea that religion, and the Christian Religion in particular, is bad?

As to how Jewish people might feel about such a statement, I suggest that genuine conservative Jews simply accept the fact, and move on. They are perfectly welcome and happy to live here, and greatly appreciate our laws based primarily on the Judeo-Christian morality ethic.

Maybe you should digest the "plank" before hurdling yourself down PC Alley.
