Myth of "Separation of Church and State"

Me too.

Me too. Well, just a couple of points.

One other thing is also clear, and that is that this rant is a minority view in the South as well. Southerners think of themselves as Americans as much as do the populations of any other region of the nation. This is a mindset that was popular in the generation before the first world war, when the "Lilly Whites" had political clout, and the Ku Klux Klan was revived in Georgia. It is not typical of the residents of the contemporary South--for which i would thank god, if there actually were one . . .

1. Like many others, I'm looking for a response to my post. I understand that you may be searching the net for more radical positions which match your own, in order to send us links to them!

2. The UN is an imperfect organisation. Not nearly as imperfect as the USA. Not nearly as self-serving. Not nearly as dominated by the interest of the wealthy few. The UN represents the views of countries from around the world. Nearly all of them.

It is the "talking shop" in which the different opinions of the peoples and their governments have a chance to be aired. Here in the UK, the majority of the population were dismayed that Bush ignored the UN. Blair tried very hard for a second resolution to give the war on Iraq international legitimacy. Unfortunately, the politics of the matter did not allow for this. Getting into other territory here, but the arrogance of the USA's ignoring the UN will stick in the throats of the people of the world for years to come.

I had the honour (yes, like me, my spelling's British!) of being on the same aeroplane as Kofi Annan, when I flew from London to Berlin on business, last year. He looked as bright, caring and fair as I would have expected of a man who has won the Nobel Peace Prize. He is one of my heros - I almost asked for his autograph, but I thought better of it. I just exchanged looks across the front row of the 'plane and picked my bag out of the locker above his head - not something I'll forget!!!

DON'T DARE SLAM THE UN ALONG WITH FREE-THINKERS AND THOSE WITH CONCERNS FOR THE WORLD. TAKE THAT ARGUMENT TO ANOTHER THREAD AND I'LL HAVE LESS RESTRAINT!!!

And you say that like its a bad thing.



Yeah, I'm all alone on this issue...none of the conservative media or our politicians believe it either. You aren't conservative, so, of course, you're not going to agree...it's a shame you just can't say that without calling people ignorant or un-educated. Pat Buchanan, Tom Delay, Rush, Glenn Beck, Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Senators, Congressmen, House members and governors...and the list goes on and on and on...I am not in this fight alone...although may be the minority on THIS site...not the minority on others.



Never denied that the ACLU "SHOULD" fight for *all*, but they don't fight for me, or for those who I support. Only for minorities...and they don't stop at equal rights...they fight for "special" priviledges. Did you read my post?



I did, but you, along with other leftist won't acknowledge it. Tried to stop this long ago...but you wouldn't let me.



Majority in American, not here. We have no business in the U.N. Nowhere in the Constitution is ther a provision for our gov't to participate in an organization of natioins that has dreams of governing the WORLD! I do see in some of our founders writings, though, warnings about foreign alliances that can threaten to draw this nation into conflicts of the old world. If the U.N. were just a debating society, my problem with them wouldn't be as negative. But too many Americans think this country needs the permission of the U.N. to act in its own self-defense and self-interest. We saw that before the war on Iraq. We were attacked, not France, Germany...or the UN. The choice is ours...either we follow the Constitution or we submit to the U.N.'s global governance. If we continue down the UN road, America as we know it will cease to exist. If we have to go to war, Congress is who approves it...not the U.N. Even though our "unilateral" attack was to enforce UN resolutions! The UN wants to influence our environmental, trade, labor, tax and gun laws. They intend to expant the UN into a true world gov't. Scary stuff. Complete with taxes, courts, and a standing army. This is not an alarmist statement, these are facts readily promoted on the UN's own website! They don't care about national soverignty...they are actually hostile to it. All of their member nations have national interests that dont simply disappear when their representatives enter the UN assembly hall. Like any gov't or quasi-gov't body, the UN is corrupt with backroom deals. Worst of all, it seves as a forum for anti-Americanism. Keep your eyes closed and see what happens.

Kitchen Pete... you seemed so restrained and kind anyway.

There are many Americans who do think the United Nations is a worthy organization. Sadly Republicans do not. I received a letter* from the Republicans Party Headquarters requesting my answers to leading questions for the "Census of the Republican Party." One question was "Do you think U.S. troops should have to serve under United Nation's Commanders?" To me, they've made their position clear with the words "should" and "have to." No matter that this government is perfectly willing to let foreign troops serve under U.S. Commanders. I don't get it. Where does this arrogance come from? (note to Southern Girl... could anything be less Christian than such patent pride?)

*This was obviously a terrible mistake on their part. Unfortunately I used all my refrigerator magnets when I sent them back their postage paid letter last time. And why, oh why, do they think I'm a Republican??? Agggh!

Southerngrl...

You have no idea how much US foreign policy aggravates the rest of the world.

No proof has been given that Al Quaeda is connected with Iraq, which was a secular state (albeit inhabited predominantly by Muslims).

"it serves as a forum for anti-Americanism"...well, of course it does! If nearly every other country disagrees with the US position on something (e.g. Kyoto agreement on control of greenhouse gases), isn't the UN the perfect place to discuss this...MY BLOOD BOILS FAR MORE ABOUT THIS THAN IRAQ!!! TAX BREAKS ON SUV's? IT'S SICK AND SELFISH.

Nuff said for now.

Hi, are Jew bastards with horns allowed on this thread? Just wondering.

I didn't notice your horns when we met in t.o., Boss, does your stylist cover them artfully?

It's all the hair, I think.

When Jew Bastards with horns eat Christian babies, how are they prepared? What's your personal favorite presentation?

Well, we don't generally eat the babies, just use their blood for our matzoh. A bit wasteful, but oy, the flavour!

Sick people

Strangely enough, I got that recipe from the back of an NAACP flyer....

It may just be a rumour but i hear that vampires in the south are at risk of being put on the endangered species list due to their fear of aids. C.D.C. has not commented but a high level official said that reported sightings of vampires in both Georgia and Mississippi have declined in the past 48 months.

What a tragic comment, Dys . . .

As a Tyically Drunken Irish Catholic Supporter of the Antichrist, i prefer Protestant children aged about 10 to 12, from whom i fillet choice cuts, leaving the child alive so i can relish the screams and moans while i dine.

ROFL!

Apparently we are all sick people....anyone been feeling under the weather lately?

I'm a little queasy today, that's probably just from overeating after i took care of that little Nazarene bastard from down the street who used to make all that racket in the early morning.
