Is the United States a Judeo-Christian Nation?
President Obama took a lot of heat from social conservatives for his recent remark that Americans "do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." And Obama's handling of today's National Day of Prayer was taken by many in the religious right as a slap. Is Obama wrong? Is the United States a Judeo-Christian Nation? Rep. Randy Forbes sure thinks so. What do you think? Post your thoughts below.

from the very first president himself:
in the Treaty of Tripoli from George Washington:
"the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion;"
and there are literally hundreds of other quotes I could cite from the more prominent founding fathers that support this as well (Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Jackson, Franklin, etc).
Is America a Christian Nation ...
You bet ... see for yourself ...

The United States ethics are based on Christianity
From the days of President George Washington and the development of our Constitution, Christianity has been the guiding force of making this a nation that all our first immigrants waanted. They came from many parts of the world to live here and be a part of this wonderful place. This worked well until the early 1900's when the American Communist party decided that everyone , both rich and poor, should be made equaland religeon was standing in its way. Then the ACLU picked up on this and decided that the Christian religion and its beliefs
needed to be changed. So the ACLU has slowly been dismanteling our schools and public offices by removing the Ten Commandents and prayers from official functions. They have been using their own interpretation of the Constitution and trying to destroy what our forefathers had used as their guidelines. I believe the Constitution aught to be ammended so that those guidelines of almost 300 years be brought more in line with current world situations. Judges should not be punished for displaying the Ten Commandments in the courtrooms and the Right to bear arms should be controlled to reflect the difference between muzzle loading guns and AK-47 assault rifles. If the ACLU could be eliminated, that would be plus to the whole country.
