This is where i disagree, it's called separation of church and state. No church should indorse a political party, it is blasphemy. True christians love everyone, no matter what and don't shun away people. Church and state are a recipe for poison.

Obviously, you don't know what the "patriot act" is. They also have a "right" to view other peoples computer activities(RIAA) even though it's unconstitutional to invade MY privacy.
Here's an example

That's where Canada and America are different, not in control laws, but by other variables. Canada's press doesn't try to scare Canadians, they aren't led by fear.

If saying that churches deciding on our president is wrong, then i feel for you. This is why i want to move, because when people are upset and frusterated and voice their opinions, they're shutoff over a lack of "ideas". I've said what i wanted to say and i believe in an unpartisan nation, where everyone can decide for themselves and not be scared by evil churches that preach blasphemy to our people. A nation where i can turn on the news and have them give me NEWS, not their pompous rich-bitch opinions.
