		<description>We should note that this blog is not an endorsement of Mitt Romney presidential aspirations, nor is it an effort to aid his “campaign.” 

Since your site contains nothing but positives about Romney, nothing but negatives about the other candidates and their supporters (especially Huckabee), is desperately striving to support a religio - political discourse that will favor Romney but harm or at least neuter other candidates (especially Huckabee), and then the long list of pro - Romney sites without a single other candidate listed.

If this is nothing but an echo chamber where basic honestly and credibility mean nothing, then you will ignore this as you did with my email and then delete this as you did with my prior comment.</description>

		<description>Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Parts of Article 6 are congruent to Amendment One.  But I think it is worthwhile to make some distinctions.  Article 6 is applicable to all gov't authorities in the US.  I am not a gov't authority and I may apply a religious test to my list of candidates.  So might associations I belong to.  That said, I like Mitt Ronmey and I hope his LDS association is not a serious hinderance to winning the Presidency.  I'd vote for him.  Time will tell if I actually do.

On a related matter, I think contemporary interpretation of the 1st Amendment goes too far.  You have municipalities and States hinding behind it in order to deny public displays of religious sentiments as if they are Congress!  "&lt;strong&gt;Congress&lt;/strong&gt; shall make no law..."  Not Denver shall make no law, or Colorado shall make no law.  It is an astonishing reach, or promotion of their authority.  I don't understand why they don't loose when suite is brought.  Imagine the ruling:  "This is Denver.  We can display a nativity, a Menorah, and other symbols.  The 1st Amendment explicitly prohibits Congress, not us.  Besides, allowing a display is hardly an establishment of religion.  Isn't that obvious?"

Cheers.</description>
