Too bad we have the first amendment. What a bitch that thing is.
A balanced budget would be nice.
Then we could out grow the debt over time.
You know, I’d settle for Switzerland, which is more or less what you described.
Care to explain that statement, or just have us keep thinking you're an idiot?
After you’ve instituted #13, re-read and correct #9.
Also, why bother with #17 as it says, “If every American was (sic) a Christian conservative Tea Partier...
While you can dream that the rest of the country is a Christian Tea Party, there are plenty of folks who don’t want to live in a single religion world.
And since when did the Tea Party take on a religious affiliation.
Yes, Vermont Lt, explain what you meant about the first amendment.
They are still being overrun by muzzies there.
Freedom exposes the disparities in cultural virtues
by rewarding prudent behavior choices and punishing imprudent behavior choices.
So, it’s more “culturist” than it is “racist”.
The congress can make make any laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion.
So a 100% christian nation would be impossible.
The congress can not make any laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion.
So a 100% christian nation would be impossible.

Perhaps he is talking about the idea in the title of the article that we all be Christians. I am as conservative as any tea partier, but am not a Christain or a member of any other religion and I agree with all 25 points. Nothing against Christains, but sometimes the think they have a monopoly on morals and conservative values.
That’s not what it means. It means living in a nation that embraces its obvious Christian heritage, and even those who aren’t Christian, at least having respect for Christianity as opposed to outright hatred of anything religious. Like the way the country was when the Founders established it.
The lack of opposition... would turn us against each other. We are only human.
>>>The congress can make make any laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

I believe you meant the congress can NOT make any laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion, and if I am correct, I agree with you completely.
Amendment I
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
For the most part, this describes the USA of the 40’s and 50’s.To those of us who were around then, they were truly golden years...when men wore jackets, ties and hats to Yankee Stadium.
