HUMAN EVENTS is the news source President Reagan called his "favorite newspaper" and we still hold high the Reaganesque principles of free enterprise, limited government and, above all, a staunch, unwavering defense of American freedom.

I use to travel to Utah quite frequently on business and I came away concluding that the heavy-handedness of the Mormons drove many non Mormons away all religions.

Those states are more likely to vote for the Republican candidate in elections when there is a Republican candidate.

And naturally those awful "racist" Southern states are the most religious, thus proving that religion is racist.

It's a good thing no Black people (who are made up of 100% Profound Left Wing Evolutionist Intellectuals) live in the South, or they'd feel so out of place and oppressed by all those ignorant, superstitious, Bible-thumping rednecks! [/sarcasm]

I concede McCain was Rino, but Sarah Palin was fantastic. But to vote for someone as radical and far left as BHO is just beyond the pale and shocking to say the least.

There was no valid reason for voting for BHO unless you wanted to radically change America.

Thanks very much for the LEAST RELIGIOUS list.

It’s ironic that a lot of these states were founded by RELIGIOUS people. Especially the Pilgrims.

The Professional Confederates and other Puritan-haters claim that Ted Kennedy is the natural end result of New England Puritanism.

I don’t know of any Republicans who voted for the Zero, but McCain sure didn’t do much to excite any of us to drive into town to vote for him.

Just south of Orderville on Highway 89 towards the junction of the Route 9 to Zion National Park.
