Religion and politics have merged time after time in history.
You know all the horror stories about that and the US is at the beginning of having serious religions/politics problems. Don't you see it coming?
So, we are to not honor our God as our God because others do not like it? I care more what God thinks than what the "others" think about it. Are we to deny God His place of honor in our lives to please those that deny Him?
Exactly what does that have to do with mixing religion and politics? You can do all of that much better by NOT mixing it with politics. Is that too difficult to grasp?
Something seems wrong with asking God to not be treated as God so that the unbelievers will be happy.
Non sequitur.

If not mixing politics and religion means that God can not be mentioned in public buildings or schools, that the word Jesus is banned - then I will be for mixing them.

We may be facing a threat from the Muslims but that is no need to take all religion out of our schools, our buildings, our pledge. We have lived many, many years and formed this country with God's help - I think we still need His help and have the right to mention His name.

There is freedom of speech. There is freedom of religion and we intend to keep that no matter what Muslims, or any other group think about it.

I am frankly against all this PC nonsense. We are losing more civil rights over the Politically Correct agenda than any of the terrorist control efforts.

We are a tolerant nation and that means tolerance for our beliefs the same as for the beliefs of others. Muslims are not tolerant and I will not play into their hands and give my liberties away to make things less of a "problem".
