My apologies, I did not mean to infer that religion should be incorporated into government. And when I suggested God had been thrown out of our schools, I meant any reference to Him has been declared unlawful, as is the posting of things like the 10 Commandments in school building hallways. In the meantime, liberals have gotten the courts to make any mention of God illegal by teachers or school administrators, and have even managed to eliminate praying at school for any reason including sports events. Yet, using the guise of the misinterpretation of the concept of "seperation of church and state," creationism has been banned from schools having been declared religion, while they have succeeded in getting the theory of evolution presented as the only credible origin for man's existence. In our courtrooms, as I have outlined in my previous post, to omit God's precepts to judge right and wrong, throws the whole concept of law into chaos. So, when we look for a foundation on which to base our convictions of what we consider to be right and wrong, we must neccessarily turn to the ultimate authority on which the concept of right and wrong rests. My contention, is that authority is God's Holy Word. Otherwise, all we have are the opinions of those making the argument in support of,or in opposition to, a matter. And, as is totally obvious from the deadlock which defines the state of government these days, lawmakers feel they must turn to the courtroom tactic of tearing down the credibilty of one's opponent so that their's becomes the more favorable position, and in this manner they can win. Thus, dirty politics have evolved into today's ultra slam-fest which we all see has become business as usual in the US Congress. And, just as obviously, this sitting president is by no means too good to get his own hands dirty when it comes time to sling the mud.

I am totally okay with leaving God out of the daily workings of govenment as long as opponents of God cannot legislate against Him or His followers out of spite or bias. I don't think opening up daily sessions of the houses of congress with prayer should be considered a violation of anyone's rights any less than denying believers in congress the right to pray is would not be considered a denial of their rights. Nor do I believe we as a nation should have to remove "In God We Trust" from our currency, national monuments or the Supreme Court Building.

I'm honest when I say from what I have seen the hatred comes from the left, the problem arises, as it always does, when those on the right respond in kind. They get fed up, and mount a defense. At such times it is nearly impossible to resist pointing out the obvious flaws of their attackers. I don't know why the perception persists but, when the Democats attack they seem to be able to get by with it, and when the Republicans do it they fall into disfavor with the public. And, I know the Republicans are guilty as charged a lot of the time. At any rate, red blooded American voters elect and send Republicans to the House or the Senate of the United States and then the Democrats jump up and impune them at every opportunity, isn't that giving those folks the back of their Democratic hand? But, for this president to get on national TV and upbraid half of the US government, in the persons of our duly elected Republican representatives, is the perfect object lesson on "A house divided against itself, cannot stand." Ever read the Kentucky State Motto? "United We Stand, Divided We Fall"? I tend to trust the wisdom of the great men that have gone on before. Frankly, I'd rather learn by history than by experience. The school of hard knocks is a bad way to get one's diploma.
