I personally believe that the country would be better even for secularists if we maintained a Judeo-Christian foundation. Any culture has to have some basic concept of right and wrong. I also want to mention that I find it interesting that I, as a Christian, see the Intolerance, bigotry, and idiocy you mention coming from the other side of the fence. At a minimum, it is a knife that cuts in both directions.hammerudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27993761.post-20794037725131527542009-07-25T15:00:11.314-07:002009-07-25T15:00:11.314-07:00Interesting that you bring up Weimar Germany.

He failed to crack down on the Beerhall Putschers and tried to govern a coalition using a sane, conciliatory approach. He appeared to be weak, and was kicked out of the coalition. He died in 1929 and was not around to witness or oppose the rise of Hitler and the enactment of the Ermächtigungsgesetz of 1933, which, among other things, allowed Hitler to enact unconstitutional laws. Obama should crush the Republican obstructionists with all the powers at his command, or we will see the rise of a new Führer(or Führerin Palin) in 2012. The Republicans have their own writers of an Ermächtigungsgesetz ready to go: Yoo, Cheney, Addington, et al.John Readnoreply@blogger.com
