as ambassador to south africa what is your experience in south africa she seems as far as the christian nation is all is concerned. i think that israel is. in a danger zone to slide. by default. into. money for stations of apartheid if we don't take it. and i'm afraid we don't take it and there's going to contain in the united states as far as israeli policies on iran and palestine does how deep is the rift between the united states and israel or is it merely another quarrel i'm surprised to realize how deep the americans care for israel is when it comes to the conversation the political conversation in the us. i also can see how. the aftermath of the war in iraq and in afghanistan. and the american fatigue of the middle east . could work badly for the image is present in the u.s. in the political discourse in the us. in the context of american interests god forbid that the u.s. will be more reluctant. to reach out for israel because our predicament now is like a result of a policy pursued by this kind of government in a way that i think is tragically wrong. that we lean to the american congre

[ applause ] and before president obama was lekted, elected, to president went around apologizing to the world and we will not.

but the claim that we are a christian nation.y can say judeo christian all they want when there are rabbis in the audience. but they really need a christian government. when we talk about the values issues that can easily be called virtue issues, we are really running up against competing definitions of virtue. i do not think anything illustrates this more clearly than the battle over whether america's model is or ought to be "in god we trust" or "e pluribus unum." it dates back to 1782 when it was adopted for the great seal of the united states. in god we trust does not occur at all in revolutionary iconography for the very good reason that it could have just as easily been the motto of any theocratic modermonarch in eurot the time. neither were these phrases the legal model of the united states, which got along without a mano until 19 -- without a model until 1956. so what could we possibly talking about other than a battle over meth when we see congress moronic played taking -- over myth when we see congress erotically playing

i've heard candidates say we are a christian nation. no. we are an american nation, which includes many, many christians but others of different religious belief. and the constitution says the government will never pick its religion. the third point that is often overlooked, and i would refer to the senator from pennsylvania, is in the constitution that there will be no religious test for office. in other words, we couldn't establish under the law, if anyone cared to, that only christians can be elected, or jewish folks could be elected to the senate or the house. strictly unconstitutional. those three principles have guided us well, and it's important for us to make sure as we tackle the issues of the day that we apply the principles that have endured. in this circumstance, we have to understand that militant secularization is as intolerant as militant desecularization. we have to try to strike that balance. i commend to those who are following my remarks and would like to read more an article that was published in "the new york times" on f

old virtue certainly had nothing to do with a conservative political claim today that we are a christian nation. they can say judeo-christian all they want when there are rabbis in the audience, but what they really mean is a christian government. when we talk about so called values issues, which could just as easily be called virtue issues, we're really running up against competing definitions of virtue. i don't think anything illustrates this more clearly than the battle over whether or not america's moto should be in god we trust. it's rooted deep in the heart of american exceptionalism. it dates back to 1782 when it was adopted for the great seal of the united states. in god we trust doesn't occur at all in revolutionary -- for the very good reason that could just as easily have been the motto of any thee caratic monarchy in europe at the time. incidentally, in god we trust was never the legal motto of the united states, which got along very long without a motto until 1956 when congress at the height of the cold war made that godly phrase, our first mandatory national slogan. what can we po

caller: i feel that obama came out at the beginning of his term saying that we were not a christian nationhat he refused to attend the breakfast or even host the prayer breakfast. they did not want to have national per day -- host: he was at the prayer breakfast that have been recently. caller: this year, but previous years, until his election year, it seems to be a non-issue. i'm not judging him and his fate because that is between him and god, but you cannot use religion, on the other hand, to promote yourself in a political way. that is something people see through. host: let's here from michigan now where chris is on the independent line. caller: good morning. i was calling because i find it very appalling that anyone is even asking the president of our country what religion he is. because i'm pretty sure our bill of rights guarantees of separation of church and state. host: ok, let's hear from danny now in alabama on the democrats' line. if you could turn the sound down on your set, we will hear you better that way. go ahead, sir. caller: i do not the recent form is qualified to judge

closely acquainted with a newcomer to cherokee nation, samuel worcester, an excerpt linguist from vermont. they began a strong friendship grounded in a strong christian faith and a desire to improve the cherokees. the two men conceived of a new cherokee newspaper that would be printed in both english and cherokee. it would publish laws of the cherokee nation as well as spread news about it people's progress in education, religion and the literary arts. it was called the cherokee phoenix. they set up a shop for the newspaper in the new cosmopolitan cherokee capital december 1827. the cherokee phoenix was the first newspaper ever published by or for indians and printed, at least in part, in an indian language. the first issue, february 1828, contained excerpts in english and cherokee from the just-completed cherokee constitution, the lord's prayer, and an editorial by boudinot. recognizing that most whites still viewed all indians as little more than savages, boudinot focused on indians' capacity for progress as justification for a hopeful future. indians with the proper advantages are as capable of improvement in mind as any other people. but his opti

. >> yes, well, you know, there are people who say that we are not a judeo christian nation and i showf our founding fathers look at what they said, you will see that they were not just that, they were real christians and have a strong faith in god. there are too many people who think separation of church and state means separation of god from state. and separation of god from whom we are. all you have to do is go back and look at the convention of the constitution in 1787 when benjamin franklin got up in front of the whole assembly as they were about to be destroyed from dissension and he said gentlemen, stop. let's get down to our knees and pray. they prayed. they got up and they put together 16 1/3 page document known as the constitution of the united states which has been absolutely fabulous and we need to recognize it. >> and what do you make of this administration mandating the catholic institutions provide birth control for their employees even though the catholic church does not belief in birth control? >> i hope this is just a matter of them not really thinking it through and
