Why shouldn't God Bless America? We need it!!

If they believed strongly in a Christian God, then they would have used the word God instead of using the word Creator.

Religion is a very personal choice. To use any faith in a political arena is pandering in the worst possible way.

They did use the word God. Did Michelle Obama's speech offend you, Birdy?

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

Just now, Bill Clinton:

GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Are y'all offended yet?

As in panders to special interests? Yes, I think so.

Neko, I never wrote that the mention of God, or the use of the phrase "God Bless America", offends me. It doesn't. It does make me cringe when I think it is being used solely to manipulate the audience of the speaker.

Was Bill Clinton doing that? Possibly, given all the attention that has been paid to the wording of the Democratic platform.

I do think "offended" is a stronger term than what I feel. However, I looked up both terms, just to clarify my own experience:

CRINGE:
a. to wince in embarrassment or distaste
b. to experience a sudden feeling of embarrassment or distaste

OFFEND:
1. To cause displeasure, anger, resentment, or wounded feelings in.

It never fails to amaze me when the Republicans try to co-opt religion as their exclusive realm. I have no problem with any speaker ending with the words, "God bless you and God bless the USA."

What is just simply ridiculous is the attempt to paint anyone on the left of whatever persuasion as a "commie, Marxist, Muslim, gay, atheist, unAmerican person who just has no love for Jeeeezus. It's sickening.
