You gotta admit, Sarah Palin is the most influential woman in America. She just opens her mouth, and the demons howl.

There’s a debate concerning when this country was lost. Many believe it was lost when Society removed the Ten Commandments from the ‘public square’. We have no ‘moral code’.
We are a rudderless lot.

It must really bother Obama that he’s in the White House ... and she controls the debate. Haha.

“It's incredibly hypocritical that Sarah Palin, who disapproves of government involvement in just about anything, now suddenly wants the government to help people be religious,” Barry Lynn, the executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State

Hey Lynn, show me where Sarah Palin says the government should shove religion down the throats of anybody, or be “help people be religious”. Government can't help anyone be religious.
That doesn't mean this country is not a Christian country. The demographics tell us we are a Christian country, contrary to what the Kenyan Marxist keeps saying.

Does the esteemed Barry Lynn ever do anything besides complain? I mean other than answer phones at Moonbat Central.

If Sarah Palin said honey is sticky, the liberals would throw a tantrum about it.

I must disagree. When one tallies the usury, sexual immorality, drunkenness, child abortion and neglect, divorce, covetousness, fraud, waste, blasphemy, idolatry, and various other sins sanctified by the majority of population and government, it becomes pretty obvious it is indeed not a Christian nation.

Mere neutrality in matters of religion from this government would be a relief. Instead, the Dem/Communists are actively engaged in persecuting Judeo-Christian belief while embracing Islam and secular paganism. The Founders would faint dead away.

I wonder if Barry the fraud Linn, believes in Hell?

Either way, I wish he’d go to Hell immediately.

Well, to be fair - a Christian Nation probably isn't a Nation that 'embraces' 1M abortions a year as a 'right'... Nor one where homosexuality is 'celebrated' in all of the media venues.

But if Mrs. Palin wants to call the Nation to repentance - to embrace its Christian heritage ... I salute her for that.

2 Chronicles 7:14
[And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him]... "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land".

God is long suffering and patient, but we also should remember the other side of the coin,

Psalm 9:17a
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God...

Of course we are. It is in all of our founding documents. Most Americans claim Christianity. To suggest otherwise if pure idiocy. (Obama)

There are people who insist the founders did not have a Christian nation in mind. Yet at the Tea Party rally in Washington, Michelle Bachmann mentioned how the Washington Monument is capped with the phrase, “Laus Deo” (Praise God) that faces Capitol Hill. Snopes.com goes out of its way to say that the monument was capped in 1888 and should not be interpreted to mean that the founding fathers were trying to established a Christian nation. 100 years later obviously Congress considered the nation to be Christian. So, one way or another America at one time was considered to be a Christian nation.

As the resident atheist, it's funny to me when atheists get crazy over this topic. (Hint: Next time one of them uses the "separation of church and state" line, ask them if it's in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution--for those who don't know, that's a trick question).) They (and frankly some conservatives) don't seem to grasp that the first ammendment as interpreted by the SCOTUS means that government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to nonreligious practice.

...and that has NOTHING to do with the national identity as a Christian nation. When the percentage is, what, 80% Christian?

I mean, what idiot would say we do not identify ourselves as a Christian nation?

Oh...THAT idiot.

"It is wildly inconsistent with her views on limited government to get the government involved in matters...

Mr Lynn I believe you are missing the point although apparently that is not surprising. The point is that there can be less authoritarian government if there is more Christianity.

It's kind of like the Soviet Union outlawing Christianity, or a man cannot serve two masters. Less religion, more authoritarian government; more religion, less authoritarian government.

Get it?

Yeah I’m going to listen to some atheist asshole try to tell me what Christianity and conservatism are and how they don’t mesh.

“It is wildly inconsistent with her views on limited government to get the government involved in matters of faith.”

No it’s not. A faith based government would have the govt out of welfare in order for religious charities to fill in the void. All that money could be going for churches and Catholic schools instead of taxpayer funded bureaucracies and public schools.
The secular govt needs a welfare state because nobody else would help the poor in their world without religion.
