Stop the nonsense I can’t stand all this liberal-minded nonsense. Our country was founded on God; this is a Christian nation! If you don’t like, well, you can get out. Look at our currency, slogans and the numerous laws that obviously have Biblical roots. It’s simply not possible to create an ethical society without religion, specifically Christianity. I support any presidential candidate that is saved by Jesus. If we allow some hippie president to run this country our prosperous way of life will cease. True salvation can only be obtained through a strict adherence to scripture, let us not forget that and doom ourselves to Hell.

Honor the Constitution This is a response to the article, “Keep religion out of the election” by Joe Wright (Jan. 17). I’d like to begin by first applauding Mr. Wright for writing the article. For a good while now, I thought that I was crazy for thinking that some of the core values in our Constitution should be valued. Of course I speak of the separation between church and state.
I do believe that in order to be the “leader of the free world” and the head of the most powerful and diverse country in the world, a president cannot be a man or woman who is unwilling to make concessions in their personal beliefs. Keeping an open mind is one of the most important things in office. I’m not saying that a president is not allowed to be a religious person, but they should try to remain as neutral as possible in making their decisions. For example, presidential candidate Mike Huckabee believes that we need to “amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.” The only authority our great Constitution draws its power from is “We the People” and that is all that it ever needs to do. This country was founded on many freedoms and I would like to see it stay that way. People will believe what they want and not what anyone tells them to.

BTBAM review was ‘brutal’ Ah yes, the ill-fated overuse of a word. I am referring to yesterday’s Between the Buried and Me review where readers witnessed the subsequent death and burial of the word “brutal.” Perhaps I’m being nit-picky, but such a forceful word should be reserved for appropriate times — quartering, drinking from skull goblets, general mayhem … you get the idea. I love BTBAM and am happy to see that they were featured in the Technician, but one can only be subjected to so much brutality before a certain vocabu-apathy sets in. I’m sure the writers of Metalocalypse would smile down upon the review. br00tal!
