God Bless America.

1. I'm a Democrat and an American

Why can't you be both?

just for one day.

4. How about wanting gawd to bless the entire world? Or don't other nations deserve that? nt

7. You must write to Prez. Obama - how dare he say "God Bless America."

8. Actually, I am offended by the interjection of religion into public life - even that statement

that every god-damned politician seems compelled to say at the end of every speech.

I used to be much more tolerant of being excluded from much of society. But, as the reich has become more strident and violent in their gawd-pissing attitude, I have come to give them no slack.

Religion, IMO, if you are so inclined/deluded, belongs in private - between the individual and their deity.

9. Indeed...

much like scantily clad obese people in public. It's shameful and repulsive. Whenever a "witness" knocks on my door I always invite them in and offer them a bourbon. They usually recoil in terror.

10. Stop making this about you.. this is about

9-11. Spout elsewhere.

5. I believe...

that the federal government ought not mandate virtue in any of its forms, but rather restrict villainy in all of its forms. Think about it...

6. +1

Maybe as just Americans we could actually get something done.
