Obama Wrong America Not Christian Nation?

When President Barack Obama gave a speech in Turkey last week in which he assured the Muslim world that America is a not a Christian nation but a nation of citizens, Fox News and former Miss America Gretchen Carlson at "Fox and Friends" used the speech as another opportunity to question President Obama's regard for Christianity instead of seeing the historical parallel to the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli is which US President John Adams and a unanimous US Senate declared that "...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion..."

The Fox News clips in this video come from the "Fox and Friends" program broadcast on April 8, 2009.

The images of the Treaty of Tripoli in this video come from the two Library of Congress webpages at http://memory.loc.gov/ll/llsp/002/0000/00240018.tif

and at http://memory.loc.gov/ll/llsp/002/0000/00250019.tif

And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

@tra12345iscool, Questioning christianity is not the same as silencing it, you're free to express your views, but be ready for pushback. The only problem most atheist have is people wanting religion in politics and in our public schools, if you have faith fine, but have respect that some folks might not agree or have a different. I don't understand why some christians need their views reinforced at every turn.

@alexanderhulse I would just love to see Fox's reaction to a president of the U.S.A. declaring he was Atheist AFTER being elected! I weouldn't be half-surprised if they labeled him a satanist!

@MrJMBrowning And he's a Muslim because ... because that's what you want. That sounds like an excellent proof.

@dagoose109, yes, I can name many, including the unheard of principle that human rights are given not through the government but endowed by a Creator. Or as one supreme court justice put it, most of our common law is derived from Christian principles. Some perhaps were too puritanical like sodomy laws.

[dagoose109]

@cmottes----Can you name even 1 so-called specific and unique Christian Principle that America was supposedly founded upon? I have put this forth for years now, and not a single Christian has come up with even one.

The jew was right and I am damn surprised on how the hell didn't everyone see what O'bama meant in the first place?
