It would never be in their best interest politically and that is assuming they would even want to. Doing something that radical and uncostitutional is something only Obama and Hillary can get away with apparently. Not all conservatives are religious.

Another point I would like to add is that this whole conversation is a good example of how emotional and reactive people get when it comes to any political discussion. I only say that because I notice that I do the same thing. I understand it, but I also see how I could be jumping to the most negative potential outcome of any change in government. I think everyone does that now and it is part of what is dividing our country. That is why most politicians take on the role of respresenting one extreme or the other, because that is how everyone is reacting to everything that happens now. Compromise is the only solution. There will be a civil war before socialism is an accepted form of government in this country and that would actually be a good wake up call for the liberal extremists that want paint democracy as socialism. Totally not the same thing. They will say it will be different and try to sell it to us as in everyones best interest because that is what all politicians do. Eventually, every Socialist country must bend to the will of the social elitists in power and most individual freedoms are completely forgotten.

States that want to be socialist and remove individual rights from citizens with an even more powerful and totalitarian government can do so on their own without bringing everyone else down with them. Not sure if that would get past a majority vote but that would be the most reasonable comprimise at this point. The only difference with that convention is state representatives will vote to upturn certain amendments that no longer apply to modern day society. Very few will pass a majority vote, meaning those that do will be replaced with something that fits what we need better that they also vote on. Not everyone in government cares that much about laws that bring religion into stuff. Not popular with majority votes since there is a clear seperation of church and state and people are less religious overall now and watching for that sort of thing better. Learn more about the process, forget which political party is actually in power, it really doesnt matter. If it did we would have a wall with laser turretsx police would not have to answer for much and illegal aliens over crowding our capitalist infrastructure with undocumented overpopulation would no longer be a problem.

Sounds like a good idea actually. This is how the government was meant to work and if anything the laws will more appropriately reflect what people actually need at this time. If you think it matters what political party is in power you do not understand how laws are made! Any decision to amend current laws will still be voted on and require a two thirds majority vote from either congress or both the senate and the house of representatives. Then they compromise on the best course of action. This has needed to happen for a very long time. If it does not civil war is innevitable.

thankfully, their numbers are dwindling. fastest growing demographic is non believers. they know they are losing their hold and they are gonna kick and spit and scream but it will only serve to fuel separation of church and state movement. their public lunacy does more for atheists than any of our activism. kudos to them for that.

If you have Netflix, watch the documentary "The Family." Or, buy the book it is based upon if you don't. It is not a joke and so many things that have been, and are, going on make so much more sense after watching this. These people are actively trying to subvert our democracy and push their power-loving, corporate, Jesus agenda. They think they are chosen by god and they will do anything they can get by with to achieve their goals. And, they are not only thinking locally, but globally. I am very skeptical of conspiracies, but there is no doubt in my mind about what they are up to--and have been up to for decades.

What are you talking about?

If what happens. Provide more detail on what it is that your rear so greatly. I am not objecting to your post, merely asking for clarification. I also greatly oppose the comingling of religion and politics.

Surely there are enough people in America that don’t live in the Bible Belt.

Do people in DC or Minnesota or North Dakota have the same ‘Christian problem’?

Rob did you mean if I win the lottery?;

did you mean to share a link or make a statement? there is a "this" in each sentence and there is nothing to which it directly refers. if WHAT happens?
