"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." Benjamin Franklin
I attended the rally and enjoyed seeing so many folks come out on a cold day to support the 2nd amendment. I spent years serving our country to allow folks to speak their minds and to agree to disagree. There were many things said by the speakers that I disagree with in my personal beliefs. My issue was that however passionate the speakers were about their words, the day was supposed to be about the 2nd amendment. Their choice of words was in my opinion divisive, rather than inclusive. There were many statements by the various speakers that rang the bell of "The One True Way". Yesterday should have been about how we all need to pull together.
I believe in a secular government, that any given individual belief's in God, Allah, Jehovah, Buddha, Wicca, or some other less well published variation, should have nothing to do with the written laws or actions of the Government. The founders in general chose inclusive language for their written documents: "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God"; "endowed by their Creator"; "Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Feel free to infuse yourself with whatever belief or moral system you wish to accept, but when you discuss the government remember that the basis for our Government is to allow, we the people, the freedom to practice/worship/or just live freely with the inalienable rights that are the part and parcel of all Men.
