That makes the assertion just as valid as stating that we are a Big Mac nation.Constitutional Insurgenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251746798758539951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860387354345137184.post-68826773008172159732012-11-06T19:42:58.913-05:002012-11-06T19:42:58.913-05:00Regardless you or I believe, personally, that Amer...Regardless you or I believe, personally, that America IS or is NOT a christian nation America was founded on Judeo Christian values. Everywhere in the founders documents prove just that. There was a great uneasy feeling with Americans who sat and watched Obama, travelling to a Muslim Nation and declare for everyone "what we were not"!<br /><br />We, the majority of us who are going to the polls tonight and vote this appeaser out of office, saw that speech as well as those that followed it as weakening our resolve. It was just another example of how Obama found a way to drive wedges through our ranks at home, for political reasons. The bowing the non-intervention and the non everything he has done is just many of these things that started with that particular anti-christian statement. roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948630176877454789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860387354345137184.post-85230773761257088322012-11-06T15:23:58.364-05:002012-11-06T15:23:58.364-05:00Dobson's "accurate" quote leaves off...Dobson's "accurate" quote leaves off the rest of Obama's sentence. Not part of the paragraph...not 'context'...but the remainder of his sentence.<br /><br />Meanwhile critique of this essay seems to imply that vociferously stating that we are a "Christian nation" either doesn't happen or should be ignored when convenient.<br /><br />Dobson uses a false construct in which to play political games.Constitutional Insurgenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251746798758539951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860387354345137184.post-67180259418574360762012-11-06T15:12:59.254-05:002012-11-06T15:12:59.254-05:00Officially, we are not.

Th...Officially, we are not. That's a given. <br /><br />The essayist is biased and commits the error of viewing Obama's comments in a charitable light, seeking to interpret and explain them for us, as if he knows what the president meant.<br /><br />Meanwhile, he does not view Dobson's accurate quote of the president in the same light. <br /><br />Go look at the brochure and then read the essay again. The author is reading in his own biases. Amateur. Obamamateur.Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.com
