c'mon, stick to the program.  let's say it doesn't matter who is president.  same scenario.

Not sure where you are going with this.. :confused:...If a President would interrupt programming to say the world is ending....I'm sure first of all to have a bowel movement....then, I would try to see what was going on?... :confused:

Okay, I'll play......................

based on your story.......that Hillarys reason was based on two homeless people holding a sign, then, I would have to, disagree with her.................

ok, fine...

it's not ok, because its ACTING IN A DETRIMENTAL WAY TO THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF THE POPULACE BASED ON THE ADVISE OF TRUE BELIEVERS.

that was a poor example............a homeless person wearing a sign does not represent the populace of true believers......

that was a stretch to make a point...imo

what "true believers" believe is irrelevent.

whether they believe that "meat is murder", "the sky is falling", or "jesus saves", any policy put in place to the detriment of the general health and well-being of the population based on those beliefs is WRONG.

would you want the christian scientists to have a say in whether or not your grandkids get immunised?  i'm sure they have an oppinion...

You mean like those gaia-worshipping Global Warming freaks and their Kyoto Treay? I'm with ya!
You mean like Hillary, with her Marxist beliefs, being elected President?, I with ya!

Many people think being a Patriot, means paying your taxes, voting, waving a flag, and following you government leaders.  Webster simply tells us that it is: "love for or devotion to one's country"...I think "most" Americans have no problem with that statement.  I can honestly say that I love this country....and I am devoted to it....but, for me, more importantly, I have a love and devotion to God, first and foremost....as I believe many of our forefathers also did.  It was their reverence for the Lord that led them to install the two most important parts of our guidelines of building this Nation....those being "liberty and freedom".  They made liberty our Right, and Freedom the exercise to pursue that Right. This concept was instilled by the teachings of the Bible that our forefathers used as the moral compass in designing our Declarations of Independence and our Constitution.  These guys are the epitome of patriotism.
 
Mark Twain was quoted as saying..."Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may."

For me, to not include God as part of my decision making on what is right and wrong would go against all my convictions...and standing up for conservative values is the personification of what I know in my heart is right for this country...although it is embarrassing to use the word Patriot in the same breath that was intended for our forefathers...I like to think I am at the least of being somewhat patriotic...am I willing to die for these causes? ... I don't think our country has sunk that low YET...but, if a time came when my kid's lives was endanger by the lack of principals that I believed was needed to keep this country's liberty and freedoms secure.......I believe I would, with out a doubt.

I am afraid I am not very good with hypotheticals and I don't understand the scenario.
Wouldn't it be the same thing if 2 homeless people would hold up a sign saying " an ( insert name) bomb is coming toward us" or "Aliens have landed"?  What president would act on that information alone?
Is this, somehow, suposed to be a test of faith?
