Harold Estes Calls Pres. Obama UnAmerican.

I was just recently forwarded this as an e-mail. http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/haroldestes.asp Here is my reply back. To begin with, let's look at what another U.S. President has said. President Adams signed this peace treaty with the Barbary States. See how shocking it would seem today. http://www.stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/treaty_tripoli.html Especially this part. " Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen (Muslims) ; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Muslim) nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries". Also I've communicated with folks on the old right http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Right_(United_States) ,many of whom also professed Christianity. They've told me that they feel that America has been going down the wrong path, and that we as a country should avoid entangling alliances, as Thomas Jefferson mentioned in his first inaugural address http://www.bartleby.com/124/pres16.html, and also that we should not go out looking for monsters to destroy, as John Quincy Adams said http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/jqadams.htm . So I am glad to stand with these "unAmerican" Presidents in advocating a foreign policy of non-interventionism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-interventionism, as well as a secular state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_state
