Except that this country doesn't have Christian roots (http://ffrf.org/nontracts/xian.php). The Pledge of Allegiance didn't have the words "under God" in it until 1954 (http://history.vineyard.net/pledge.htm) (Palin doesn't realize this) and "in God we trust" wasn't printed on U.S. paper money (http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-god-we-trust.shtml) until 1957, though it was on minted currency (coins) as early as 1864 (which is still about a hundred years after the formation of the country--Lincoln, for example, never saw God mentioned on any of his money (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln) seeing as how he died in 1865).

I can understand preferring a military president, but that shouldn't be your only reason for voting for somebody. What about his voting record and his stance on various issues?

As a final note, I don't hold my "ladyfriend's" leash. I didn't tell her to post here, she did that of her own accord, so I would appreciate you not insinuating that I sic'd her on you. I'm not going to deliver messages to her, either; she can read and respond to what you've said herself, though I will note that you didn't reply to any of her other points aside from the fact that you're currently out of work.
