First-off, It's not the American constitution, secondly, It's a declaration from a religious group and thirdly, way to copy the headline ad verbatim, Smitty.

It's no different than the proclamations and declarations any churches make to the general public to define themselves.

..."Originally published in July of 2008". Still, not seeing any earlier threads on this "Declaration of American Values" in the Farkives. What the heck.

Wyalt Derp: The Declaration also seeks "to secure the free exercise of religion for all people, including the freedom to acknowledge God through our public institutions and other modes of public expression and the freedom of religious conscience," and want pornography outlawed, stating "obscenity, pornography, and indecency debase our communities, harm our families, and undermine morality and respect."

Pornography IS my religion, and I demand the right to exercise it freely.

So, You're a Hedonist?

/ Is it a religion or a lifestyle?

deadcrickets: So by "traditional" family values they are going back to what it was for thousands of years until the 19th century? You know, where you could have multiple wives. Where you could marry at biblical and biological adulthood (13). Where women stayed at home barefoot and pregnant.

...And a man could screw camels WITHOUT getting it written on stone tablets

Hm.

Hm. Hmmmm.

What?? Can't you see I'm thinking?

"We hereby pledge our Names, our Lives and our Sacred Honor to this Declaration of American Values."

So we're done pulling punches then? Ok, good. You're exactly the opposite of what Christ would have been in favor of.

That whole "Love one another" thing wasn't just God's campaign slogan. He meant it. He died, not just for you, but for every homosexual, every minority, every poor person who had to steal bread.

He died for every person and every idea you would vote against today. He died for Muslims, and Jews, and Buddists, EVERY ONE, Not just you and yours.

A "Conservative" on NPR was quoted as saying, "There is no perfect candidate," says Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis at the American Family Association. "Jesus Christ is not on the ballot in any of the primary elections, so that means social conservatives have to do triage."

The funny thing is, if Jesus were on the ballot he would tell you to give your extra money to those who have none "The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same." Luke 3:11

If Jesus were on the ballot he would defund the military "But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matt 5:39

If Jesus were on the ballot you would vote against him.

So take your "Christian" values and shove them up your ass. You cannot take only the parts of Jesus you like and ignore the rest.

In short, you're the people Jesus wouldn't hang out with.

Not an instruction manual.

"Declaration of American Values"

You know, I was born in this country, and my father's side of the family goes back to the Mayflower. I'm as American as one can possibly be.

Those are not my values.

My wife and I were at a babyshower for one of my wife's friends recently (why I had to be there is another matter). One of my wife's friend's friends was also there and talking about how she was hesitant to take her kids to brother's house, since he was gay and she didn't want them to...I don't know, catch the gay?

Anyway, my wife said, completely innocently why she would take her kids to see her parents then, since they're the ones who made a gay child.

You could hear a pin drop. It was awesome.

Okay, how does the new fark term, 'Romney' work? What's the definition or at least an attached link so I can use it properly?

Except, you know, candidates for President are pledging fealty to similar declarations in order to secure the nomination.
