One last comment on my wife's suggestion and I think we may have
exhausted this thread. It was prompted by both the news coverage of
recent events and by email exchanges with old high school friends in
West Texas. We live in Austin, TX so if you are at all familiar
with Texas politics you can imagine the positions of the two
parties. The Christian Nation line was targeted at those like her
friends in West Texas.
Hence my comment further back about framing.
Basically, posting it here was right message, wrong place if you
wanted people to go "ooh, good idea" - in this particular forum of
mostly respectful argue about EVERYTHING any sort of pandering to one
view, even allusionally, is bound to get dissected.
But I do agree it's the right message.
