Does the constitution of the United States mean nothing?
O'siyo world, WHY ARE NOT CHURCH AND STATE SEPARATE. The audience booed when columnist Byron York asked U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota at the Republicn Debate last week, if, as president, she would be “submissive to her husband.”
That question would have been out of order if she had excluded her evangelical Protestant faith from her presidential campaign. But she has made her faith as a Bible believer central to that campaign, so voters have a right to know which parts of the Bible she really believes in, and which parts (if any) she ignores. The phrase "separation of church and state" (sometimes "wall of separation between church and state"), attributed to thomas jefferson and others, and since quoted by the Supreme Court of The United States, expresses an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment clause of the First amendment of The United States. The First Amendment reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ....", while Article VI specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.". I think as the bible, the constitution of the United States is hollow, meaning nothing more than the paper is written on, all we see is people voting on faith based candidates , READ ARTICLE VI , very, very clear. So as people "choose" certain parts of the bible to follow , they do the foundation that made a country, as it shows , they couldn't care less about the founding fathers or the bible itself. The hypocracy drips. But that's what , it seems the american people want and i was right, every country must fall one day. They can butter up what ever lie they wish to keep the peace or calm, i can see disaster in 2012, as the Mayans did, but i see Perry/Palin as the last straw for the united states, may your "God" help you because the Government won't. Remember to be spiritual , not hollow and vote with "God" , He doesn't care which corrupt political man/woman gets in, he already sent you your leader, Jesus, may peace be upon him, but you ignore him, so he will you. Here's some great incidents by past presidents, 1. “Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands” (Colossians 3:18). Should female presidents submit to their first husbands? As it should be obvious to anyone who saw this portion of the debate, Bachmann did not answer this question. She said she respected her husband. She said he respected her. But the question was about submission, not respect. When John F. Kennedy was running for president, some voters were worried about whether, as president, he would take his marching orders from someone else. That someone else was not Jacqueline Onassis but the pope. In a famous speech delivered on September 12, 1960, in Houston, he answered the question clearly and definitely. “I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute; where no Catholic prelate would tell the President - should he be Catholic - how to act.” He also drew a sharp distinction between his private religious views and his public political views, pledging that his private faith would have no bearing on his actions as president. “Whatever issue may come before me as President, if I should be elected, on birth control, divorce, censorship, gambling or any other subject, I will make my decision in accordance with these views - in accordance with what my conscience tells me to be in the national interest, and without regard to outside religious pressure or dictates.” I would like to know whether Bachmann will say the same about her evangelical Protestantism. If her husband tells her to veto a bill, will she submit to him? Is there any separation for her, as there was for Kennedy, between her private religious doctrines (in this case, that wives should be submissive to their husbands) and her public responsibilities (to act as "the decider")? Just because people say they have a bible or read it , doesn't make them a christian by any means, Oh by the way i am american Indian and have the right to vote in the state of North Carolina. You cant run the country on "GODS" law and mans , we see the mess it has made, so which one is it? Wandering Crow. The Great Horned Owl, a good Spirit.
