Democrats Boo God and Jerusalem

DNC Vote on Platform Change - At 2012 Democrat National Convention, DNC Chair Antonio Villaraigosa holds three votes on reinserting references to "God" and "Jerusulem" back into the Democratic Party platform. The language had been removed from the 2012 Democrat Party platform, igniting a firestorm of criticism but reflective of the Obama administration's often lukewarm support for Israel and the President's omission of references to "God" from his readings of the Declaration of Independence. The DNC Chair tries three times to secure the required two-thirds floor vote to change the DNC platform to reinsert the references to God and Jerusalem, but a majority of the Democrat delegates clearly vote each time against the platform change. Finally, the DNC Chair gives up, cynically declares that 2/3 of the delegates have voted for the platform change, and the motion passes. The delegates boo in disapproval of the reinsertion of God and Jerusalem back into the Democratic platform, and the display of Obama-style Chicago politics at work. Watch the booing and jeering by the DNC delegates. For more analysis, go to http://intendedconsequences.com/democ...

Wow. That's so transparently corrupt. There's no way there's a two thirds majority, the nays were just as loud, if not louder.

The Treaty of Tripoli, passed by the U.S. Senate in 1797, read in part: "The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." The treaty was written during the Washington administration, and sent to the Senate during the Adams administration. It was read aloud to the Senate, and each Senator received a printed copy. This was the 339th time that a recorded vote was required by the Senate, but only the third time a vote was unanimous

It's quite evident the DemonicRats want no part of God in the leadership of this once great nation I was so proudly born into. Thank God, life on earth is only temporal & eternity will be spent with the ruler of your heart.

What James Madison criticized was setting up Christianity as the state religion like what Europe had done before. This is what he meant by "legal establishment of Christianity". Madison simply said the Catholic Church back then in Europe was highly corrupted due to its mingling with state power. The US does not have any state religion, yet its core values are based upon the Christian faith, and one of the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith happens to be free will of individuals.

Christian faith is not the same as Christian religion. The Treaty was meant to reassure Muslims in the Middle East that the US was not hostile towards them. For each of your apparent anti-Christian quote, I could give you ten pro-Christian quotes from our founding fathers.
