"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
~President George Washington
Treaty of Tripoli
1796
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_TripoliQuote:

I wouldn't go so far as to say fuck all red states, there are quite a few of 'em. I'm just sick and tired of the majority of conservitives spewing rhetoric that America was founded on Christian beleifs and principals, and using religion as a means to push law reform and war.
Take it from the source, America's very first president. I'm sure he knew what he was talking about... or maybe you all know better than the person who was there to set the foundation first-hand.
America is not supposedly founded on Christian beliefs but the majority of Amerca is Christian. Documents written by our founding fathers do positively mention God also. The whole point of that quote would be that other religeons would be tolerated in the U.S.. Saying "fuck all red states" is showing anger/agression torwards people with different views, which is what liberals complain about... Right?
smoke a bud or two and relax...
you'll get another chance to vote for john kerry, or hillary, or dean
meanwhile...chill..and enjoy the "red" ride!
Just because Bush is a redneck moron who attempts to completely debase all of our most basic freedoms isn't any reason to hate him or those who voted for him.
Wait...
good Jah, not hilary, id raher have dean or kerry, just not hilary...
