You know as well as I do that religion does NOT institutionalize itself
in our democratic republic.

You think "evangelicals" are in charge?

Really?

LOLOL!!!

What you call the "political process" is as absurd as you are.

Take Germany, no really, do.

Do we have a party named the "Christian Democrats"?

Eh?

Sheesh.

This is a secular state with nominal due given to its Christian birthright.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday Israel has no roots
in the Middle East and would be "eliminated," ignoring a U.N. warning to
avoid incendiary rhetoric ahead of the annual General Assembly session.

Ahmadinejad also said he did not take seriously the threat that Israel
could launch a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, denied
sending arms to Syria, and alluded to Iran's threats to the life of
British author Salman Rushdie.

Case closed.

Jihad against us...

I see major bias from you, hypocrisy in letters.
