Yes, We Are A Christian Nation

Editor:

President Obama was wrong when he announced to the world that America was not a Judeo-Christian nation. He made that inaccurate and startlingly bold statement last April while on a pilgrimage to the Middle East.

Why on earth would the President of the United States say such a thing? Surely it wasn't to mollify the extremists in the Muslim world, because those folks haven't figured out if they like each other yet. So what did the president hope to accomplish?

Surely, he didn't intend to send cold shock waves down the spine of millions of church-going Americans. After all, we're supposed to be on the same side, aren't we?

Some doubt that he said any such thing. Well, he did and here are his exact words: "Although, as I mentioned, we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation."

Since when, Mr. President? Since when have we stopped being a Christian nation? Did one of your religious czars issue a proclamation that I missed because I was fishing or taking the garbage out?

Whoever writes the president's speeches is no scholar of American history nor judge of the American temperament. For the president to purposely distort history for political gain or to engender foreign acceptance is unacceptable.

In my opinion, to publicly state that "we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation," was unnecessary, untrue, hurtful and should not stand unchallenged.
