Nothing at all wrong with living your religion, however, I get slightly queasy at the thought of intermingling religion and civic government. One would think that the founding fathers belief of separation of church and state would have held together a little longer. It is a great concept and worked fairly well without major bumps for many years. Did someone mention a TEA PARTY?

Just my rant for the day...LOL

Apart from the fact that I disagree with your interpretation of what "separation of church and state" means (and my confusion as to why you chose the "tea party" as an illustration of your point), I'm quite comfortable with your "rant." ;-)

Actually, I misfiled this post under "Politics," because my primary desire for the expansion of "Jesusland" is not political. It's out of concern for people who don't claim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Earthly politics pale in comparison to the eternal spiritual implications.

Oh, the TEA Party was just a dig at being taxed without proper representation - as I feel my views are not represented in Congress or the White House.

Curious, how would YOU define the separation that is one of the building blocks of this nation? Sadly, it is my opinion that zealots have successfully marched an agenda into all walks of government that almost all but erases that very important demarcation. And I think a lot of truly devout people are being played a puppet by the Republican party. Just my own view from the 13th floor. Perhaps I am being as bad as my Conservative counterparts in generalizing a party.

I've got an entirely different set of problems with that picture.

First, Canada is not America. It's a different country and has no business being attached to this country. I'd love to see a picture where America's "blue states" are jammed in one place geographically (preferably on the West Coast) against the Red States. Better still, let's narrow the divide down to the red counties versus the blue counties. That would be a much more accurate depiction of America's political divide.

But who ever heard of factual accuracy from film maker Michael Manure? That picture is currently gracing his web site and it reflects his penchant for untruth. Sure Mike, the only way you can make the "blue" states look bigger than the "red" states is if you tack on an entirely unrelated country.

It doesn't matter if Canada is liberal or not. Canada is not America. If John Kerry's supporters all move to Canada, that's perfectly fine by me. America would be better for it.

Second, that picture discounts other religions, like Judaism, which also have a very strong moral background. Christians aren't the only religious people tired of watching this country slowly rot from the inside out. A label like "Jesusland" utterly ignores those faiths. Isn't it amazing how quickly the Left abandons its popular stance on "multiculturalism" and "tolerance"?

Everyone who didn't vote Democrat is part of "Jesusland".

That's stupid. Stupid and wrong. Not surprising, considering the Left's political ideology.
