You are making the case, providing evidence, for the recent Conservative trend overtaking the USA to reduce the control government has over our liberties.... Still, without the 2nd, we will lose the 1st to beech about it, for sure.
The more government is involved, the less liberties you have.
Sorta like suggesting your sinking boat is better off because you have the freedom to refuse to bail.
All those countries showing greater freedoms than yours are more often than not called socialist/communist hell holes by yourself and others on here.
You're really getting crotch-bound and conflicted with this "either / or" exercise aren't you chuck?
You gotta have something to point to that looks like a worse example. It's the conservatives' favorite game.
Nobody in his or her right mind believes that making death threats is just somebody spouting off who should be ignored. This should not be a question with two different answers depending on political persuasion. This is why we have law enforcement.
OTOH, when one of yours does make death threats, you have to move quickly to change the subject, dilute the accusation, and otherwise do damage control whether you believe it's right or not.
Try seeing that the Founder's wrote this document under our nation, under one God, indivisible (til Obama divided it, ahem) & w/ LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL. Of course, libs want that removed so maybe Buddha or Allah can be substituted, I guess. C/mon wakeup America & smell the sewer pit rotting outside our front doors.
Who do you think wrote the 1789 Const.? Deists or not they believed in ONE God -- not just anyone proclaiming to be Him. Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, Hamilton, Paine & even Washington fit this category. Educate oneself a bit prior to spouting off stuff. The Right To Bear Arms is Biblical as well as Jesus said, sell thy cloak if need be, to be able to get thy sword. Gospel of Luke, 22:36 at the last Supper.
Obviously for the need to defend vs anti-Christian virtues, no? Or just to plow the fields??
This phrase was added to the Pledge of Allegience in 1954.
Jesus also rebuked Peter when he actually used the sword, and restored the ear that Peter had cut off.
As an agnostic, I absolutely do not believe that any deity had anything to do with the founding of America, regardless of the religious persuasion of anyone connected with it. I have seen mass delusions before.
Buddha, BTW, is not a god. Allah is the name the Muslims use for the same god Christians and Jews worship. You'd think he would have explained what he wanted a little better so all three groups could understand it and get along.
