Excuse me? Just because the majority of US citizens are Christian or Christian-influenced does not mean that the US is a fundamentalist Christian state.

Oops maybe I should use more smileys

Its just a bit of George W speak.

Some of you guys need to step back, clear your heads, and rethink your positions. America allows the people to choose the religion of their choice. Or even to not believe. So in reality, America is a nation of religious freedom. Freedom for all religions, not just Christians.

And, while we may be more or less limited to two parties, at least we have a stable balance of power between them. Neither side is able to gain a clear Lasting majority. And neither side is able to push forward with a non partisan agenda. It should also be noted that much of what has gone wrong for this administration was covered over during the Last one. Enron did not go broke over night, and neither did WorldCom. I think we all remember what would happen every time a certain young ladies name was on the front page of the Washington Post. Sure as $hit, Iraq would be the target of a few SLCM�s.

The rest of the world comes to America looking for opportunity, freedom, and a better life. When the policies of other nations fail, it is America that steps up and pays the price to put it right. When storms or quakes ravage the world, it is America that opens the coffers and provides aid and cash. When the forces of aggression are on the move, it is more often than not, American blood that has bared the way. And let us not forget who came to the aid of Western Europe on two occasions. And who footed the bill for rebuilding Europe after the Last war. We should also remember who held the line for democracy when Europe was bankrupted by war. And what nation has ever been so kind to it's defeated foes? And it was America that did the majority of the work when Berlin was blockaded. But now Germany is united, and France is...well...France. So we will have a new round of European Nationalism. And the old cast will flex their mustles as they have in the past. Then who knows what will happen? Probably just the same thing that has happened in the past. They will tire of listening to each other and we will have round three.

The one sure thing in all of this is that America will do what is needed to cut the head off of this snake with or with out the help of our dear allies. And should it be without, then there will be one less worry for the planners.

"Those would be hard-line religious conservatives, and do not represnt Republicans in general in any way. Most Republicans are for less government, period. Most Republicans are not very religious at all. Do tree-hugging hippies represent all Democrats? No, I didn't think so. Don't define the majority by a small and extremely vocal minority."

Notice I said many. I think we have a few more of that breed around here.

Your right! All the faith based initiative stuff coming from W. has nothing to do with religion.

Actually libertarians are for less government -Republicans are for less Social Programs - the Patriot Act (as an example) is a Republican initiative and that certainly doesn't mean less govt.

Also Teddy Roosevelt was an environmentalist why do Republicans want to trash the environment?
