Three things we hold dear in this country are words that Thomas Jefferson pinned in our Declaration of Independence. We have certain rights that are not to be taken away from us and those are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But apparently this president is still focused on change. And this time he wants to change happiness to stupidity and change Independence to dependence. The Constitution later goes to explain what these rights are to Americans. And two of them are freedom of religion and speech. But there are limitations to these things because without limitations then people would abuse their freedom and perhaps overstep their boundaries. And if someone oversteps these boundaries it is up to our government to put a stop to it. That is what a Republic is. And the leader of that republic, being chief of state, should uphold the values of the majority of the people. Again, that is what a republic is. If the republic is not held true to its origin then it is doomed.
In the middle of this republic is brewing a controversy about the limitations of the freedom of religion. Should people have the right to worship anyway they want? Yes, for the most. As long as it does not hurt others would be the limitation. If it involves human sacrifice then it becomes wrong. If it becomes a vehicle for hate crimes that leads to violence then it should be at least watched. If it wants to spit in the face of 3000 people who died and build a "community center" right on the spot where it fellow religious family members murdered them, then the action should be stopped. By whom? The government! But what does our leader say and do?
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Stupidity. That's what this administration is all about. Maybe the next campaign should be hope and happiness. Forget the change.
If one learns from history:
1) Islam was started as a conquering religion. Muhammad himself won his title by conquering others in Arabia. After conquering Jerusalem in the late 600's AD, the Dome of the Rock was built on the site (or at the least very close to) of the Temple Mount. What happened to this area since? Constant war.
2) The average nation usually only lasts 75-100 years in existence. Why do they fall apart? Most self-destruct from the inside due to diversity and/or dissension and then are conquered by an outside force. The US is now officially 234 years old (1776) but by our law of the Constitution we are only 221 (1789). Either way we are over the average.
3) The Constitution- Amendment #1 says Congress can not establish any religion or stop it. It does not say the people can or can not! If majority says no, then it should be NO.
4) This has nothing to do with democrats or republicans. More than likely Joe Lieberman does not want this thing to go up. It has to do with the direction of our country. Piece by piece the American way of life has been taken apart because of loose interpretations of laws and customs. As it may be true that our laws and government are not specifically "Christian" in words, the principles behind them and the motivations are.
Results: 9-11 is just a precursor.
