That's a lot of prayers for a secular state...
Secular Republic / Christian Democracy.
Wait - did I just hear Senator Roy Blunt head of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Activities describe the US unequivocally as a "democracy" during the opening speech of the Inauguration ceremony? Has he been paying no attention to GTPlanet's "Presidential Election" Forum thread? Sad!
Did you also hear people praying to and thanking God for such a wonderful country and asking for His future blessings? Must both be true I guess.Wait - did I just hear Senator Roy Blunt head of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Activities describe the US unequivocally as a "democracy" during the opening speech of the Inauguration ceremony?

If an atheist wins the election, what is he/she going to do with his/hers left hand during the swear in?
Cool. It just occured to me that if he had a son, and he married Sandra Oh's daughter, I might just be able to weasle an invitation to the Pence-Oh Wedding.Pence is official.
Al Bundy comes to mind.If an atheist wins the election, what is he/she going to do with his/hers left hand during the swear in?

We have called by different names brethren of the same principle. We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists. If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. I know, indeed, that some honest men fear that a republican government can not be strong, that this Government is not strong enough; but would the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, abandon a government which has so far kept us free and firm on the theoretic and visionary fear that this Government, the world’s best hope, may by possibility want energy to preserve itself? I trust not. I believe this, on the contrary, the strongest Government on earth. I believe it the only one where every man, at the call of the law, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet invasions of the public order as his own personal concern. Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.
Jeez, not one of those cannons hit the target.
Here we go!!
PRESIDENT TRUMP LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

Wee wee?Edit - it's pouring now. Right after he was sworn in
He's still in campaign mode apparently. Maybe he doesn't realize he's won quite yet.His speech is sure different from the usual ones you get. Fair play to him.
