Article VI, Paragraph 3 of the US Constitution includes these words, "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

I am sick and tired of hearing about religion as we get deeper into this election process. I have been sick and tired of it in past elections as well, but this time it is especially virulent. Patrick Henry stated the following:

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."

Patrick Henry and I do not always see eye to eye, but on this one, I agree with him wholly. This nation was founded upon certain very basic freedoms and upon Natural Law and if you have even a small bit of understanding of this (and all Americans should) then you realize that we need to work to uphold and sustain these freedoms and laws and stop choosing to define people, leaders and candidates in a manner contrary to the Constitutional foundations we cherish.
