Thank God for the Constitution

Posted October 24, 2009 11:00 pm

Our founding fathers set us up to be a Muslim nation. Also, we are a Buddhist nation. And a Jewish nation as well; an atheist nation; a fundamentalist nation; a Wiccan nation; a God fearing nation; a God disbelieving nation; a Catholic nation; a Methodist nation; a Presbyterian nation; a Lutheran nation; a Sikh, Mormon, and Amish nation.

Also a Baptist nation; a Hindu nation; a Unitarian nation; a Baha'i nation; an Evangelical nation; a Pentecostal nation; a political nation; a balanced nation, and above all, a FREE nation, free to participate in religion, politics, or dissent, or to shun them all.

We were set up as a constitutional nation with a First Amendment.

Have I left anything out? Oh! I almost forgot. We are a Christian nation too.

Thank God for the Constitution and the First Amendment.
