Good thing they're spending time on this instead of actual problems. --------------------

How typical to focus on this, when people can't find jobs, more and more people are losing their homes, and the gap between the richest 1% and the middle class and poor continues to widen.  These people are so out of touch with the real concerns of the majority it's pathetic.-------------------- QUOTE(Underdawg @ May 7th 2012, 7:41 AM)  If that's what bums look like where you live, I seriously need you to send me the coordinates so I can put up my tent in one of your parks.

It's funny when people use the "tradition" angle to defend the slogan, when in reality it was adopted as a reaffirmation of America's anticommunist stance in the 1950s.
 I personally don't feel strongly either way about this, though. It's a non-issue.--------------------  CUf is my fave | AI11: EVP, Skylar, Hollie

^ It's surely an issue that this is what congress is worried about right now with what mess our country is in.

In that sense, yes, but not in the sense of importance though. I can't believe they're worrying about this when people are losing their jobs, possibly losing their unions, losing their homes. I mean, God is cool and all, but I think there are more important issues than pretty much saying "LOOK THE US IS RELIGIOUS." -------------------- Teams: Yankees, Devils, Giants || Music: A7X, Mumford & Sons, Springsteen, Bruno Mars, Drake || Budlime

Hey, if the US wants to join other countries who let religion rule their state, like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE......

Typical politics. Work on the window dressings and furniture rather than the foundation.

I wonder if they actually think of America as the Christian equivalent of those countries?

Texans will deny this, but they're pretty much the Christian equivalent of the middle east.-------------------- MY NAME IS JENN. | I TAKE REQUESTS.

Yah, religion should not play a part in politics. Not everyone believes in God and it shouldn't be what the government is focused on at all right now.
 God, the US is in some deep crap. I really hope China is nice and doesn't do what they CAN do...   --------------------
