The problem is that the GOP was hijacked by extremists like yourself and now he is left standing in the middle looking like a crazy person.

I'm sure you have some sort of point here....yes? Actually, we have laws that prohibit funding to governments that the State Department determines gained power through a coup. That "determines" part is critical because, in the ultimate political "do-si-do", they decided that if the State Department doesn't make any determination about whether it was a coup or not in Egypt (it was, IMO) then they haven't determined that it was, and funding can continue. Really. Quote “The law does not require us to make a formal determination as to whether a coup took place, and it is not in our national interest to make such a determination.” “We will not say it was a coup, we will not say it was not a coup, we will just not say,” the official said. Not the best source, but it has the quotes I was looking for and it was the best I could find fast. http://www.szaboservices.com/show/state-department-and-white-house-to-continue-illegally-funding-egypt-because-they-decided-it-is-legal-even-though-it-isnt-"There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

DanG 1 #20 August 7, 2013 I don't think you're an extremist. What are your views on religion in government? I don't think you've talked about it much. One of the things that marks a right wing extremist to me is that they want the government to be explicitly run on Christian principles. This includes Christian prayer in public schools, Christian based laws, and rejection of laws that could be in conflict with Christian concepts (gay marriage comes to mind). - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the things that marks a right wing extremist to me is that they want the government to be explicitly run on Christian principles. This includes Christian prayer in public schools, Christian based laws, and rejection of laws that could be in conflict with Christian concepts (gay marriage comes to mind). It is an inarguable point that this country was founded on jewdeo- christian principals. There principals set a foundation under which this country grew. That said, I don’t think that laws need to be Christian based but, most fair law would align to some degree to these principals. I don’t think the gay marriage debate falls in this however. This, to me, is a manufactured issue to create rights. Marriage IS a religious union (for lack of a better explanation at this time) Pushing gay marriage is an attempt to attack religion. But, attacking the Christian religion is in vogue at this time and is acceptable. Even though today, the Christian religion as practiced for the most part in the US is one of the least radial out there. All this said, I am not against gay couples getting the same legal recognition as those who are married. It is just not marriage in my view. I see abortion in this same light. I am pro-choice but I chose life. Abortion is argued at a women’s right level. I don’t see it that way. It is another manufactured angle to try and dissolve people from being responsible for their own actions. At this point in the debate, I would be happy if no federal money goes to support abortion. And I don’t think it should be completely outlawed. But it should (IMO) be severely restricted. In the end society has to decide the principals it will live under. THAT is the debate we should be having. I also think the separation of church and state as spelled out in the Constitution has been bastardized. It is not being enforced as intended. It was intended that the state will not create or identify one religion for its citizenry. This does not mean a county or state should not recognize a religious principal to guide it. And THEN, if that guidance goes too far, then the courts step in to make sure said religion does not infringe on any rights. (an example would by how Sharia treats women, and this is not intended as an attack on Muslims) Today, it is pushed that there should be no religion in government at all. This is not for the Fed or radical anti-Christian groups to decide. But these groups have used the courts to push their agenda and have so far been successful, to the countries detriment IMO. Again, all this said, government should not push a religion I know that many will see this as radical. I don’t see it that way but, I hope it helps some (and you) understand where I am coming from specific to your question"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
