What is the one thing that is common in all 50 state Constitutions? (independence, county)

Our government was to protect our freedom. Not slowly take it away piece by piece. Remember what we fought a Revolution against England, for??? It was not so we could be put back in chains.

All who care should bear that in mind come November.

Yep Democrats live in straw huts, don't have running water, and get around in oxen drawn carts, glad you pegged us so accurately

There were many gods worshiped by the Egyptians

And there is of course, no GOD or Gods at all. They are fictional beings, created by man at his weakest to seek out "guidance", but it was only an attempt by the leaders to impose laws and rules against the even weaker.

Are you saying that the God mentioned in many ways in the Constitutions of the 50 states were any of those you list. Get with the topic which sure isn't the God that the Founders were talking about. 50 states as listed in the OP.

Don't let those leaners get you aroused when they try to stray away from the topic of the OP. Just what old Savoir was doing there.

Do you ever post off topic? Well, sure you do, when you want to deflect.

Ignorance was what drove people to obey.

Go ahead and read the OP and then comment on the topic.

You think that you have built your world on your own philosophies. You DO live in a grass hut.

If you will acknowledge that the founding fathers' founding principles include as its basis the philosophy of the Judeo-Christian tradition, you will at least progress from your grass hut to the refinement of Monticello.

I don't think that many states have taken to going after Christians. All 50 of them do have that reference in their constitutions. The good part is that the states haven't strayed as far as the DC bunch has.

Of course, if they were referring to the Christian God, then why is there no mention of Jesus Christ?

I have always wondered why Jefferson is never mentioned in Hamilton's book about the Convention? Was he really there?

Now we are both off topic and our posts should be removed.

Bad only when interpreted by leaners. It gets pretty bad then.

Maybe we need to rewrite that thing and let the people vote on which form, left of right should be there.

Now back to the topic of the thread and it is not the First Amendment or the US Constitution.
