Then again it was founded in Arkansas with good ole boy values so what do you expect?
Really...where pray tell would you suggest that people who never "choose" to do well in school and learn trades or professions go to work? Where would you have them work? Loose cannons tha make statements like this are a dime a dozen and that is what gives us the likes of Obama.

The offices of the Government are open alike to all. No tithes are levied to support an established Hierarchy, nor is the fallible judgment of man set up as the sure and infallible creed of faith. The Mohammedan, if he will to come among us would have the privilege guaranteed to him by the constitution to worship according to the Koran; and the East Indian might erect a shrine to Brahma, if it so pleased him. Such is the spirit of toleration inculcated by our political Institutions."

"Christian Nation" my foot.
Yet if you said anything that disparaging about Muslims in any Muslim country, you would very likely lose your "foot", "hand", or "head". But you just keep right on persuadin us how bad a nation we are because we claim to be Christian and many are Christian. You are only fooling yourself friend and demonstrating an extreme ignorance.

By the way the above statement indicates to me that it is o.k. with the writer that the Christian expresses his faith. It does not suggest that not happen in school or on a public property or elsewhere. Somehow though with the approval of the fing lawyers that run the country the believers are restricted in the expression of their beliefs, contrary to the above posted statement.

So that's the standard by which you wish us judged? By what happens in fundamentalist Muslim countries? No thanks.

By the way, what are 'fing lawyers'? I've heard of corporate lawyers and trial attorneys and criminal lawyers and civil lawyers. But I've never heard of fing lawyers.

The answer to the first is precisely not. The answer to the second is use your imagination.
