I guess I should appreciate the patriotism but if you were not fighting sir, what would you do? Do you know how to handle peace?
What do you do for fun? Hunt? Not that hunting is bad, my brother is a hunter. I am just trying to get a picture of a happy man without a gun in his hands. What will it take to get us there with you? Is it even possible or when this hurdle is passed will there be another issue to put you en guard?
What rights did you have that were taken away?
I am afraid there will never be peace as long as there are trigger happy warriors, lusting after bigger guns and, just itching for the next fight.
A few years ago I watched an army recruitment campaign on television
that showed teenagers watching a tank approach from inside a glass control room. One of them hit a toggle switch and then blew the tank to smithereens to the boys obvious delight.
I kid you not, the tag line was
"Join the Army. Blow things up."
How do we even approach this type of a mentality?

Oh I guess you like this nation without God? This nation was under God but make no mistake it is not anymore.
The teachings of Jesus can never be anything but good, especially for a sinful nation who would be washing its hands of blood once again.
"You guys are just deluded fools" Speak for yourself, Some of us are sick and tired of the Ignorance and wicked fools that surrounds us in this once great land. If you are one then I suggest you run because there is a whirl wind coming and we all pray to Jesus not Mohammad, Satan or some fat china man.
His wrath is coming, be ready.

If there is one thing that scares me more than the corporate takeover of this country, it is the idea that people like you can - and have - influenced public policy. Nothing in what you say actually gives a damn about the concept of freedom. For you, freedom is everyone thinking one way: your way.

We have it your way now, does it work? NO!! If everyone was taught the ways of Jesus then this country would be allot better off. It needs to be taught in schools so every kid gets to know the true right and wrong and how to live like a good person, NOT WHAT SOME LIBERAL TREE HUGGING DOPE SMOKING HIPPIE THINKS.
This country needs and enema and going back to the old way without Jesus would bring us right back to square one.
Jesus never brought harm to anyone, Only evil or wannabe sinners want a life without him. If you don't want Jesus in your life then I say move to Canada.
"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. "
Thomas Paine
“The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion”
George Washington (Treaty of Trippoli)
“Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
George Washington
"I concur with you strictly in your opinion of the comparative merits of atheism and demonism, and really see nothing but the latter in the being worshipped by many who think themselves Christians."
Thomas Jefferson
"They [the clergy] believe that any portion of power confided to me, will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly; for I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. But this is all they have to fear from me: and enough, too, in their opinion."
-Thomas Jefferson
"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes."
Thomas Jefferson
"Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination."
-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom
"Article VI: Clause 3: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties."
Thomas Jefferson

The founding fathers did not hate religion. They saw no place for it in politics. Did you know that every cornerstone for every building in the national mall contains a bible within it? The founding fathers valued the Holy word very much but understood that it was not to be the total basis of a government. Like you said, they did not want men of the cloth screwing up politics ( a major factor for why they revolted in the first place) and they did not want the government to start cracking down on religion. It had absolutely nothing to do with religion.

Your opposition can either peacefully surrender or be forcefully arrested.
Should they decide to violently resist arrest
you are then to use as little force as possible when apprehending them, killing them only out of self defense.
The political prisoners are subject to the same rights as any other prisoner would be within the new system.
A temporary government is put in place in order to create the ground work for the new government
For example let's say they wanted to ban a religion, it would be up to the new government ( the one elected by the people) to un-ban that religion.
There are probably some finer points I am missing

Negative: They were Deists, they were fine with God, prob even loved God, but they despised Religion (ie: Churches). They saw them as institutes of corruption. I linked a whole bunch of quotes right before this reply that shows that case.

This country was founded by Christians who were tired of Catholics telling them what to do. Washington and most leaders were MASONS. Their sick cult believes all religions are good in one way or the other. They pray to god even though they wont say who he is.
I think we know by now their god is Satan.
Most of the good people who came over to build this new country were in fact very religious, They wanted to be in churches that taught the true ways of Jesus. They hated the heavy handed Catholics telling them lies as allot of us still do today.
