Well congrats new born christians, aka fanatics.
Thanks to your outpouring, George W. Bush will have another shot at trying to put the Bible into our laws, while at the same time, sending troops to muslim nations in hopes of taking the Koran out of their laws...?
You do know the fundemental difference between the most nations and the western world, don't you? It's really quite simple; imagine what America would be like if every sin you'd commited would be punished with jail time or hefty fines, if not severe beatings or executions; oh, wait a minute, we did go through that phase!
But we, unlike the other nations, overcame it. How did we do it? Simple; our founding fathers made it absolutely clear through our constitution...WE WILL NOT HAVE OUR RELIGIONS DICTATE OUR NATION'S POLICIES. If you want GOD to change your life, ask for it through prayer; do not ask for it through legislation. This is the true spirit of the separation of Church and State.
So when you think about it, our founding fathers were LIBERALS.
At a time when governments and Kingdoms were executing anyone who spoke out against them, THEY not only had chosen to give you the right to speak out, THEY gave you the right to arm yourself in case THE GOVERNMENT tried to silence your voice.
This is why the liberals will NEVER go away, because America, like it or not, is a LIBERAL NATION, FOUNDED BY THE LIBERALS AND FOR THE LIBERALS. It's you communists, uh, conservatives who are trying to undo what had been done over 200 years ago.
Now it's time to burst a bubble or so.
TOP FIVE REASONS WHY THE "MORAL RIGHT" WILL GET "WRONGED" IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. HINT- IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SUPREME COURT.
5. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Republican, in a recent interview, warned the Bush administration that the moderate Republicans WILL vote against any Supreme Court nominee who gives any impression that they will pursue the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
4. As a Supreme Court Judge, in order to win your argument, you must present legal precedents of which reflect the nation's overall view. In layman's terms, you must prove that this nation has already accepted the change through various legal decisions.
Ex: A very conservative supreme court is more likely to ban same sex marriages because the conservative judges can can cite eleven state admendments which do not legally achknowledge such a union.
3. Once it comes before the Supreme court and fails, good luck bringing it back. Between abortion and affirmative action, a total of less than 10 cases had came before the supreme court over the last thirty years; with the primarly subject being an attempt to restrict, not to OVERTURN, the ruling.
2. PERSONNEL. For the changes you conservatives need, you'll need at least THREE new and VERY conservative judges. Between the actual retirement times of some of the judges and the "Hatch"-it job that will await...? good luck.
1. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE...TIME!!! You don't have enough time. Six months- the time it take to get an appointment to argue before the supreme court; one month- to decide as to whether to take the case; six months- the case starts; one month- the case ends; six months- the court makes its decision. THE AVERAGE TIME- 20 MONTHS...AND YOU HAVEN'T PUT IN ONE CONSERVATIVE JUDGE YET. 2008? MORE LIKE 2010, AND THAT'S IF YOU WIN THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT TIME.
Have a nice weekend my conservative americans; I hope I didn't spoil your :alco: celebration. Enjoy your "moral" victory.
