Ptown, you have finally popped your cork. I usually don’t bother to read anything so long but a glance showed so much bull…, lies and misstatements that I gad to read it. I will do the best that I can to steer you straight. (no pun intended)

I do not agree with either you or DKClassen. This nation was founded by men who were for the most part, deists. They believed in a supream being but may have had several views. It was not founded on Christian principles but on Judeo-Christian ethics in part.

Next, I disagree. I do not understand how you can put gays on an equal footing with God and guns as far as our founders were concerned. Where out founders were conservative was in the amount of power allotted to the central government. It was their intent that the central government would provide for the common defense and not a lot more. The bill of rights was inserted in order to limit government and protect the people from the government.

(First Problem) You state this accurately but I do not see how it is a problem. The constitution was not intended to be changed at a whim but it could be amended for serious and sincere reasons. The oath of office for most elected officials, including the president is to defend the constitution, not the president.

The Catholic church had little influence in the founding of America other than to force the protestants to settle in the new world to get away from the “Church.”

The Puritans started out as communists but this almost killed them all. It failed as soon as people learned that they would be fed even if they didn’t work. The second year they were allowed to keep the product of their efforts to barter with others. This saved them.

Second Problem: These things have all been changed through amendment.

Third Problem: Blah Blah Blah. Is there a point?

Fourth Problem: Based on Judeo-Christian principles not Created with them.
Slavery was the way of life of the time. Blacks in Africa sold captives as slaves. Blacks in America owned slaves. Again, Changed through amendment.

Skipping comment on the rest of your hate speech, why do you live here. There must me many nations that live up to your ideals. By the way, why don’t you name a few of those wonderful places for us?
