Texas Republicans Urged to Drop 'Christian Nation'
Tue Jun 22, 2004 05:34 PM ET
DALLAS (Reuters) - A leading Jewish group on Tuesday asked the Republican
Party in President Bush's home state of Texas to stop calling the United
States a "Christian nation" in its platform.
The Anti-Defamation League, which fights anti-Semitism and religious
discrimination, said it was dismayed about the platform plank and other
language in the document that describes as "a myth" the separation of
church and state, which is enshrined by the U.S. Constitution and court
rulings.
"America was founded on the belief that freedom of religion requires that
the government take no official stance on, or participate in, religious
activity or religion," the group said in a letter to Tina Benkiser, the
chairwoman of the Texas Republican Party.
In addition to long-established Jewish communities, Texas is home to a
sizable population of Muslims, members of what experts say is one of the
fastest growing religions in America.
Benkiser said in a statement Texans believe the party represents their
beliefs and values.
"Our platform is an acknowledgment that most of our nation's founding
fathers had a deep faith in God," she said.
"The Republican Party of Texas affirms that the United States of America is
a Christian nation, and the public acknowledgment of God is undeniable in
our history," reads the plank in the party's 2004 platform, which was
recently adopted.
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says Congress "shall make no
law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting free exercise
thereof."
The Anti-Defamation League said the Texas Republicans should modify the
language in their platform "to reinforce principles that unite our diverse
nation." The group said that the party kept similar language in its
platform in 2002.

Christians fought the Revolution while most of the leftwing supported
the British in the south. The left were anti-religious ( most of them)
and the Christians, who said daily, sometimes all day prayers, with
George Washington, fought the battles along with the other Christians.
If you ( Or they) do not like Christians then start your own country.
That would be a good idea.
The Anti-Defamation League, which fights anti-Semitism and religious
discrimination, said it was dismayed about the platform plank and other
language in the document that describes as "a myth" the separation of

I agree, but I doesn't mean you cannot invoke God in a public office
in which the Senate and House do daily. It really means do not go the
way of Islam where the Quran and the al' Hadiths are the 'Law.'
the group said in a letter to Tina Benkiser, the
chairwoman of the Texas Republican Party.
Don't worry about the Christians as many worship pagan gods and
symbols and will gladly take out Christianity and replace them with
symbols of Pagan worship. Simply they are the same thing – all
worship or faith in something.
Keep God Private - not civic in law!

THERE IS YOUR THESIS!
Do you see how the left needs PC to write this article instead of
coming out and saying the Muslims want to take Christianity out of
references to America so eventually they can replace Muhammad and
Islam.
