You would be well served to go to the Library of Congress page to study up on the letter you keep posting to prove your point. It actually proves mine, but thanks though. You might want to read the letter they sent him, that caused his response that you keep posting. Part of the reason for his letter to them was in response to religious people dogging him about doing away with "days of fasting and thanksgiving". Your insistence to keep posting that letter, that actually proves your view(of a christian nation) wrong, it also shows your lopsidedness. You should study the whole context of it. A copy of their letter is easy to find on the net.

Only in your own mind RV. The reason I "keep posting" the Danbury letter is because you originally quoted from it. I thought I would stay with one of your sources. I hope you're not trying to suggest that today's Harvard, Yale and Princeton in any way resemble the Ivy's of that era. All the research I have done clearly defines the seven Ivy league schools founded prior to the American Revoution as conservative.

All the redefining of the basic principles intended by the founding fathers we are seeing these days is the result of the modern liberal movement which started in the late 40's and banged second gear in the 60's. The Bill Ayers et-al types who dispise the America I love and in which I grew up, roam the halls of congress and represent the interests of today's liberal. Why they hate the greatest country the world has likely ever known is a mystery to me, but they do.

As I have pointed out before, the liberal representatives serving in congress up until the modern liberal began to run for office, were men and women of fiber. This is why I draw the distinction between the democratic party of my Grandfather and today's democrat. Respect ruled in the halls of congress up until the days of late. Democrats would never have gotten on national TV and talked about their Republican counterparts as if they were so much dog doo-doo. If you cannot or will not see, or admit, the dems have started a verbal war and, that war is destroying our land you've got to be biased. I don't hate the liberal, I just disagree with him.

Our system of checks and balances has been weakened by this 'war of words' which, has divided our people and our land. I believe you said you believe in God recently? His words---"A house divided against itself cannot stand" Now, if folks can't understand what that means, there's no wonder why we are in trouble! If I'm trying to build an addition on my home and my son keeps coming behind me with a sledge hammer knocking down the framework, the addition is doomed util and if, we would begin to agree. This is how I see the present day melee which now defines the houses of congress. The Dems are trying to take a sledge hammer to the framework of our land, the US Consitution, all the while blaming the Republicans for not cooperating with them and calling them out to be obstructionists. :please: The guy with sledge is the one I want to see stop the shennanigans, not the ones trying to preserve our country.

Why are we changing everything? Where do we go from number one in the world and number 1 in the history of the world? The only way to go is down, for crying out loud! It would be different if our history books and the memories of our own lives were not filled beyond measure with the blessings and success of having lived the American dream. It's not uncommon for the "REAL MAN" (your humble discription of yourself), to live in a very nice home, own 2 or 3 vehicles, one to pull his 70 mph bass boat, a garage thoughly equipped in which to accomplish any project reasonably immaginable, a pool etc. Working for what one has is out of vogue to some extent these days. If a guy can come up with a good enough cover story he can avoid work and the rest of us will pay his way. The City Parks of our country have become festering sewers polluted by the Occupy derilict who has become the new darling of the liberal politician. Why do the Dems embrace and provide substance to these training camps for future Woodstocker's? Vote buying of course.

You explain it to ME RealVille, where does it go from here? The Dems hate the Repubs, Obama calls out the Repubs during EVERY speech he gives. The people are so polarized that those who vote Dem will only listen to Dems and vice versa. The train will eventually run out of steam if the engineer and the stoker can't get past bickering and do their jobs. Can we agree the infighting is a national shame and embarrassment? Once we were that shinning fortress of alabaster, fields of grain and the most formidable adversary imaginable. No wonder the other nations of the world's attitude toward us has gone from jaw dropping awe to scorn, as the workings of government look more like an elementary school food fight than the great nation we very recently were.

Seriously, I have never in my life heard a sitting (or former) president talk like Obama does. He wihines and blames and demagogues at a level no president has ever done, or even remotely come close to doing. It is truly hard for me to imagine how a president could reasonably hold to the claim he loves this land while talking more like a would-be dictator than an American President, blaming ANYBODY who dares not to agree with his extreme positions for every ill this country faces. If people agree with Obama they are wonderful human beings, everybody else is stupid, uneducated, just plain wrong or course, conservative and therefore worthy of any poison he sees fit to belch their way.
