Just out of curiosity....what is "liberalism".

And can you find any in America?

I can swear to you this: in politics there is no such thing as a "conservative".

Did you happen to author that dictionary? If you didn't, then I do not think i will find my answer in there. I am asking YOU to define it. Based on your understanding.

I am not challenging you or your assertions....yet. But terms like "liberalism" tend to take on ad hoc definitions in the minds of the individual.

Most Tea Partiers are uninformed about the Constitution and history of this nation, so I'm obviously not going to be surprised.

Of course, a good majority of the American public are uninformed about both, so it makes sense that any random sampling of them would be ignorant to these issues.

[qoute]Oh and sorry people we are not a Christian nation, only about 75% are actually Christian. Western culture is formed from Christianity so we are relatively a Culturally Christian nation, but that just means that we have a culture.

So 75% of Americans say they are Christians, and you say this is not a Christian nation. I suppose the 2% of the population being native Americans make them the majority.

And by the way religion is part of what makes up a culture, not the other way around. The American culture is made up of many religions.

Would America be a Christian nation if only 95% of its people said they were Christian?

I don't trust Christians. They use a guide book that is suspect and twist and form their interpretation of it to fit their particular ideology. Even among Christians they can't agree on what the Good Book actually says; to many contradictions.

If we are a Christian nation; why are we controlled by the Jews?

hmm sounds strangely like the political ideology and politicians you follow..........lol yet one is acceptable and one is not?

Hypocrisy much?


Its been said over and over again what the percentages of christians are in this nation, that should be enough to close the case on this one.....

except for the fact that there is this war against christianity and anything that isnt atheist.........which to me seems like just the other side of the coin, I have the right for you not to oppress MY beliefs whether it christainity or spiritualism, with YOUR beliefs of atheism........

Is it me or has Atheism become almost a religion in itself? hmmm.........odd that

We are controlled by Jews, because good Christians believe Jews are God's chosen people, and as a nation we have been protecting them since our foundation.

I agree with you though, I don't trust Christians either. For one thing, most of them are not Christians, they are Deists like our founding fathers. Very few Christians actually believe the word of Christ. Christ says I am the way, and the truth and the light, and no one gets to the father, but through me. Therefore all "moderate" Christians that think Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists are ok, and they are tolerant of them, and they think their good works and actions will still get them into Heaven, all of them are calling Christ a liar.

For the record, I don't trust anybody that calls themself a Christian or a Muslim unless they are radical in their belief. There is no such thing as a moderate in those religions. I trust people like me that admit we are not Christians, I trust a lot of Wiccans, and hippies, and even some atheists, but I don't trust the run of the mill popular religion junkie.

Still, I don't see how anybody can dispute that the US is a Christian nation? It was settled by Christians, built up by Christians, Christians fought for independence, and then Deist/Christians wrote the laws that still guide us today. 75% of the country identify themselves as Christians. "In God We Trust" is on our money. "One Nation Under God" is in our Pledge of Allegiance. Every president had identified themselves as Christian, including our current president. The fact is, we are a "Christian" nation, that is tolerant of religious freedom. We are not a religiously free nation, and we are not a religiousless nation.

If that is true then why is it when conservatives are in office we have things like the patriot act passed that limits our rights and freedoms?
