Its like a slow killing virus that has been infecting our country from the moment it was born. <div><br /></div><div>When America was being conceived in the womb of the minds of our founding fathers, one truth that was proclaimed to be central to its existence was separation of church and state; with that having freedom of religious worship. Although that proclamation was sincere in their hearts and minds, numerous times after America's inception, the founding fathers and the leaders that came after them failed to honor, perhaps understand what that original central proclamation actually meant. </div><div><br /></div><div>Beginning with slavery, the christian conservatives in our country <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lobbied</span> for the perpetuation of slavery using "out of context" biblical scriptures as their tools of hate. 100% of the confederates that fought to the death to keep the right to take someone else rights professed to be christian, following christian conservative ideology.</div><div><br /></div><div>Even after slavery ended, many christian conservatives became <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Klu</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Klux</span> Klan members who went to church on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Sundays</span>, sang <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">hymns</span>, kissed their families however after the last <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">hymn</span> ended, they <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">invoked</span> a reign of terror/lynchings/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">rape</span> into the lives of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">African</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Americans</span> and white <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Americans</span> who disagreed with their ideology. </div><div><br /></div><div>When the babies of the late 19<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">th</span> century began to take over leadership in the mid 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">th</span> century, other ideologies began to ascend control in the country's mindset that threatened christian conservatism. Starting with Calvin <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Coolidge</span> with his movement towards big business and later with Franklin Roosevelt, planting the supreme court seeds for the civil rights movement, the 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">th</span> century was changing.</div><div><br /></div><div>These 2 movements shaped the ideology, platform of the 2 main political parties. With <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Coolidge</span>, the republican party <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">shredded</span> any <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">resemblance</span> of its abolitionist roots that took on the christian conservative democratic party and saved America from its moral ineptitude. With Roosevelt, the democratic party began to split into a fraction that promoted equality for all citizens versus the christian conservative fraction that was threatened by a 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">th</span> century mindset that saw their ideology as evil.</div><div><br /></div><div>As a result of the 1964 civil rights acts, the christian conservative fraction of the democratic party forever <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">disavowed</span> themselves from the party. The republican party, actively sought the christian conservatives that left the democratic party and excepted them with open arms. Republican presidents such as Nixon, Reagen and both Bushes owed their political careers to the hate, fear and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">divisiveness</span> that the christian conservatives perpetuated in their support.</div><div><br /></div><div>Currently, America has an important election that will shape our country's path in the 21st century. John McCain who is running as a republican is backed by the christian conservatives. Because he is in debt to the christian conservatives in regards to their support, he chose a running mate that has a 19<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">th</span> century mindset fully embodied in christian conservative ideology. At 72, McCain would be the oldest president ever to be elected which would make his running mate have a higher <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">likely</span> hood to assume the responsibilities of president. The christian conservatives are doing any and everything negative to get McCain and his running mate Sarah <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Palin</span> elected.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, back to my original <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">premise</span>: Christian <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Conservative</span> ideology is killing our country. If you are patriotic and love our country, we must stop them, stop their ideology of hate and fear.</div>Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02313840107710052494noreply@blogger.com5
