However, please note that the US Bill of Rights provides no ptorestion for me as I am a Canadians and not an American and this weblog is published in Canada. Funny how people assume otherwise.Glenn Pennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775729921874246091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-2294850955477484442009-10-16T21:01:06.930-04:002009-10-16T21:01:06.930-04:00You are to be commended for a very important and p...You are to be commended for a very important and patriotic website. Our country was founded by a collection of Americans that had a dream of living in a place were freedom prospered for everyone, regardless of their religious beliefs. I am not a religious person, but I respect you. America, and her Bill of Rights, protects your right to practice your religion and your right to free speech. God bless you, God bless America, and thanks again for the great forum that you freely and openly provide for all to actively participate.LocksandDeadbolts.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583601705977020598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-1155160022974114252006-08-09T17:47:00.000-04:002006-08-09T17:47:00.000-04:00I see so much circumstantial evidence that Preside...I see so much circumstantial evidence that President Bush really loves God, or at least loves the God he worships (perhaps not the real one). I'm afraid that this is true of so many "Christians" in the U.S. today--they think they are godly because they have such strong feelings about God, but unfortunately don't take the time to search the Bible to see who God really is.<BR/><BR/>I see Bush honoring God in some of his actions, but not all. He supports many of the big issues that the Christian right-wing conservatives believe in, and that is good, but there appear to be just as many issues in which he is fighting against God's cause --promoting a one-world government and catering to big-business concerns to name two.<BR/><BR/>President Bush (and his father when he was president) appear to use compromise to a large extent to try to accomplish goals which are important to them. Unfortunately, they often compromise on issues of morality, and end up losing the bigger battle when the opposing Democratic Party reminds the world of their hypocrisy years later (even though the Democrats were directly helped by the compromise).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-1154824296947364222006-08-05T20:31:00.000-04:002006-08-05T20:31:00.000-04:00I am ashamed that our President and his administra...I am ashamed that our President and his administration are failing to act and I can only wonder what is motivating him to do so. If it truly is him pleasing his "millionaire buddies," then may the Spirit cause him to repent and give him the grace to stand up for justice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-1154202174578581362006-07-29T15:42:00.000-04:002006-07-29T15:42:00.000-04:00You mention that America thrives when it has an id...You mention that America thrives when it has an ideal to fight for. As I recall, America used to fight for freedom, not security. It seems that since 9/11, that the shift has been to fight for security. Sadly, the price of security is often freedom.Glenn Pennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775729921874246091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271097.post-1154095370755444342006-07-28T10:02:00.000-04:002006-07-28T10:02:00.000-04:00In my limited knowledge of the politics of the Bus...In my limited knowledge of the politics of the Bush administration, I can see only few reflections of Bush's so-called Christian faith. Mostly he's a president, not a Christian. God put him there so I'm not knocking the guy, however, there is enough b.s. on capital hill to fertilize the sahara. Religious freedom is probably not high on the political priority list. One holy war at a time, folks! If they really enforced religious freedom and Christians were given the right to be Christians because they were protected, militant Muslims would find a more stealth and violent way of ridding the world of the infidel. I think dominance with the option of peace is the U.S.'s priority. We want to be the big kids and stick with the other big kids but we have to manage peace between them. The idea is to move toward a one world government where the kid with the most stuff is king of the world.<BR/><BR/>I love my country and I am content with how Bush is running it. He's trying to hold up the moral foundations while also allowing for capitalism to please his millionaire buddies. You can't win 'em all but at least he's a classic Texan-American with a respect for unborn human life and a love for freedom. He's not a spineless coward and he's helped America stand strong in the face of terrorism and give us something to fight against. That's really when America thrives, when we have an ideal to fight for. <BR/><BR/>It's a romantic notion and I'm sure what's really going on has a lot to to with preparing the world for the final anti-christ. Besides, if religious freedom were universally allowed there would never be the opportunity to die for Christ. The U.S. isn't really a "Christian Nation" anymore. It's mostly a Capitalist Nation with an overdose of creature comforts and dependencies. Is that cynical?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for giving me the OK to express my point of view. I'll let you know when I start my study of modern martyrs. You'll be my first resource. :)<BR/><BR/>DianaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437045796541876261noreply@blogger.com
