THAT'S A"BSURD:!! I would never support electing a MAN like W. Mondale! I know Katherine Harris sentemnets that's all: She meand that if we elect more true-Christians (both Evangelical and Catholic) then this nation will follow more of its original and meant path as a "Shining City on a Hill"! She was probably just thinking or phrazed her comment this way because she IS a CHRISTIAN-Bible Believing, K. Harris doesn't hate anyone, and she probably left of Jewish-Torah Believing as an abscence of mind, not anything anti-Jewish!! DOn't read too much into her comment without knowing her, or what she stood for: please..
And it's a total mis-represendtation to say that the ACLU'S definition of the 1st ammendemtn is correct: That there is a "wall of seperation..of church and state" in the Constitution. The first ammendment's true meaning is that Congress shall 1) make no law establishing a national religion, 2) that ALL citizens can practice religion or non-religion exactly as they wish (withough violating someone else's rights such as murdering) even when religion is sanctioned by govt. The first ammendment does not say even 1-Thing about keeping God out of government!! In fact it can, should be, but if one citizens do not like God in government then THEY should not be 'forced' to partake, and neither should their fellows in that 'one's' religion. The only restraint is on the FED as it should be that it cannot-and should not interfere in one's religion except when someone else safety or civil rights are violted. I don't understant the willing ness of Republicans (Even-Conservatives) to accept an outdated-judical activist interpretation of the US Constitution.
Well if she just "wasn't thinking straight" and would like to retract or clarify her comments and explain she supports the election of moral, ethical Reaganites who are "non-Christians", then I will welcome her comments.
I personally know a "non-Christian" Republican (he is of the Sikh faith) who ran in the GOP primary against Barack Obama. Sikhs are an Indian-based faith that is very devout, pro-life, conservative ethic that believes in a monothetist idea of one true God like Christians and Jews.
I would have welcomed the election of a "non-Christian" like him over the alledgedly "Christian" Barack Obama.
The problem is your gal Kathy didn't say we need to elect more "Reaganites" or "moral people" or even more "religious" people to office, she said we have to elect Christians and if we DON'T elect "Christians" then we're legislating sin. The reason why we don't' support your gal Kathy is she's bound to lose to Nelson in a landslide if she keeps "phrasing" her comments that way.
