Sample Letters To Welcome Future In Laws

church and state in USA

activist judges and constitutions with and without soul.

U.S. Inglese

seems to be very popular lately, quibble about the concepts of church and state which are incorporated in the constitutions or not sono.Il layman, and even when 'caught is a fundamental error I think, speaks of constitutions, quotes great thinkers, making models to perfect coffee table, but everything does except that reflect those models are without heart and 'soul because it does not cater to the man and really like it'. Tocqueville wrote very well explain the "Democracy in America" \u200b\u200band Giovanni Sartori could lead a seminar took on this, but would do the same thing as an engineer designing a bridge or a skyscraper does not consider the man who will use that bridge or that live in that grattacielo.Il liberal secular European conceives a child of the French Revolution been an enemy of the church which is still limited, and attacked, it seems an eternal continuation of the French Revolution.

In America things are different. The Constitution American focuses on "man" and considers him also for his miseries and his few nobility. You may not have read Tocqueville and even those who ignore it, but if you read the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights which states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free worship, or to restrict freedom of speech or the press or the right of citizens to assemble peacefully ed'inoltrare petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "

This' is necessary to understand the necessity of religion for man and for democracy. The guardians of these concepts are the constitutional judges, guardians of the Constitution and our civilization. Contrary to what one says today, the Founding Fathers did not want to keep God out of politics, on the contrary they wanted to avoid that politics interfere with religion. That and 'exactly the opposite of what is affirmed in turn. That article prohibits the imposition of a state religion, but obliges the state not to restrict the right of citizens to profess their religion.

There are judges like the one that exposed his Alabama courthouse the Ten Commandments. I reacted infuriated secularists and the Supreme Court requires the court to remove the plates, which are now on display in front of the building on land that is not state property. One of the most important supporters of the thesis mentioned above and 'Judge McConnell, considered a genius among lawyers. McConnell is the main proponent of this thesis and the original meaning of the Constitution. Applied in a complex world where it is often difficult to distinguish public from a religious activity, this means one thing: the State should not be "separated" from the churches, rather should be "neutral." If the policy requires the separation of church and state, between government and religion, ends up creating a society that discriminates against believers and restricts the right to citizenship of those who are religious. Thesis confirmed in a book just published by Noah Feldman entitled "Divided by God - America's Church - State Problem and What We Should do about it." McConnell argues that religion is a real problem in modern democracies, because the believers have a dual loyalty, to God and country, and sometimes this dual loyalty conflicts. That's why Thomas Jefferson made the case for a "wall of separation between church and state." According to McConnell, the thesis of the "Separation laity" but it is dangerous to religious freedom, inevitably leads to discrimination because of religion and punishment of those who want to exercise their constitutional right. Why, for example, public buildings can be used by anyone who requests it, but not by religious organizations? "Whenever the secular point of view is allowed - McConnell says - should be allowed on the same basis also the religious point of view."

Jefferson's thesis on "separation" between church and state is invoked by the laity as proof of liberal secularism of the American Constitution. The fact is that Jefferson did not write the Constitution, he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson did not attend the sessions of the Constitutional Convention because in those years, from 1786 to 1789, he lived in Paris where he held the post of U.S. ambassador. But the judges "activists" with and to interpret the intent of the law, constitution and ousted legitimately elected parliaments, do not give up. The phrase "wall of separation" is not in the fundamental law, indeed the first to coniarla was the founder of Rhode Island about 150 years before Jefferson and, moreover, with a meaning opposite to what is given today. According to Roger Williams, in fact, the "separation wall" was erected to protect the "garden" of religion from the "bush" of the temporal government, not the other way. The U.S. constitutional history confirms this. On 25 September 1789, in the exact same day that the Founding Fathers of the United States approved the first amendment on religious freedom, the same people that give America that formidable text, also voted for a motion to ask the president George Washington proclaimed a national holiday of Thanksgiving to Almighty God that nothing less. A few days after Washington declared itself in favor. Nine years later, President John Adams wanted to impose a day of fasting and prayer to God Jefferson was opposed, but his successor, James Madison, in 1815, decided that Thanksgiving Day oggi.Come know that you can see, things are not just as we think in Italy and Europe. You can not say you want to ensure freedom for all and at the same time discriminating against the Church and its faithful. Religion and 'the man, and' insita ne suo essere, così come lo era per la religione di stato "il comunismo marxista". Pertanto, se discrimini Dio, discrimini l'uomo.





It seems trendy lately dispute about the state and church, even if this principle is in a constitution or not.The cultured Loik is basically wrong according to me.The Doctrinally loik talk about constitutions, quote great intellectuals, design perfect models on the table, maybe burning midnight oil.They consider every little detail as in a chess game, but not the human Being, not the man.Their constitutional models are heartless and soulless.They do not put the man to the center of their design and do not consider as the human being really is.
Tocqueville wrote well and clear with his "America's democracy" and Professor Giovanni Sartori could lead an excellent seminar, but they do same work as an engineer does projecting a bridge or a skyscraper:Do not consider the man that will use the bridge or dwell in the skyscraper.The European liberal loik is a son of the French revolution, he can think only about a state enemy of the church; the church has to be fought and attacked always and anyway as an everlasting extension and continuation of the French revolution.The American Bill of rights, differently from every other written constitution (the English constitution is not even written, it's root is in the magna Charta and tradition), has the human being as center of it with his misery and nobles.We don't need read Tocqueville, we can ignore who he was, it's clear enough read the first amendment of the Bill of Rights:Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.The nine Judges of the supreme court are he guardians of the American bill of rights and our civilization.
Contrary of nowadays opinions, The fathers of the Bill of rights did not want take God out of the politics, they did want avoid the politic could interfere with religion.That is exactly the opposite of what liberal loiks are spreading around.The first amendment prohibit the institution of a state's religion and compel the state do not threshold the right of the citizens to profess their own religion.An Alabama judge exposed the ten commandments in his court room, the liberal loiks reacted with anger and supreme court ordered to remove the tablets from the state building and now the stonetablets are exposed outside on the front of the court building.
One of the stronger defender of the original first amendment meaning is the Judge Michael McConnel, is directed of high respect among the scholars, a genius.
McConnel says - the application of this principle in a complicate world is hard to detect a public activity from religious, that means one thing only: the state must not be separated from the church, the state must be "neutral." If the politics order and impose the separation of the state and church, of the government and religion, it create a society discriminating the believers and limits the citizen's right of who is religious.The thesis is confirmed by Noah Feldman with his book "Divided by God - America's Church * State problem and what we should do about it."McConnel affirm the religion is a real problem fro the modern democracy because the believers have double allegiance and loyalty, to God and to the State, and sometime this double loyalty is conflictual.
That explain Thomas Jefferson and his point of a separation wall between state and church.McConnell affirm the thesis of the loiks separationist is risky for the religion freedom because it lead necessarily to the discrimination of the religion and punishment the believers and his constitutional rights.
What the reason, as an example, the public buildings can be used by anyone requests but religious organizations? " every time the loik point of view is allowed - affirm McConnell - it must be consent on the same base also the religious point of view."
The Jefferson Thesis is called by the liberal loiks to proof the laicism of American constitution.Jefferson did not write the constitution, he wrote the declaration of independence.Jefferson dit not participate to the constitutional convention.During those years, 1786-1789, he was in Paris as ambassador of the United States.Activist Judges never give up trying to interpreted the law and constitution so they want make law in spite the the legitimacy of the elected representatives.
The Phrase "wall of separation" do not exist in the bill of rights, it was used 150 years earlier by the Rhode Island founder with a different meaning. According to Roger Williams, the "separation wall" was built to protect "the garden" of the religion from the underbrush of the government, not as the liberals cry out.The American history give the proof.The Sept 25th 1789, the same day the first amendment was approved, the same persons that gave this great text to the America, carried and voted a motion to ask the president Washington to proclaim a national holiday for Thank the almighty God.Days later Washington agreed.Nine year later John Adams imposed a day for fast and prayer.Jefferson opposed, Established next president James Madison (1815) the Our Thanksgiving Day.Things are different as the common thought in Italy and Europe.We can not give liberty for all and discriminated against the church and believers. Religion is part of man, is inside the human being as It Was for the religion was "communism Marxism." We
discriminated against God, we discriminated against the man.

Government No Salt Diet

Lesson two: Conventions, primaries, political parties and selection of its leaders in the U.S..

The Library of Congress The fashion of the primaries in Italy, suddenly sort cloning (bad) U.S. urges me to clarify how the "American system". American democracy and 'democracy of the people, it selects the ruling class from below. It 's a federal democracy with all sovereign states that have delegated the federal government for the common defense and coin money and therefore the economic leadership. The Presidency can 'send troops around the world, but not in a state of the federation, would be a coup that would put the president under impeachment. Each state elects its parliament and its government, its courts, its police chiefs, sheriffs her. The states finally elect the electors who choose the president of all the states, that 'the federal government. Not like in Europe it is believed that the president is elected by plebiscite vote in every state, 'cause if that were true, this de-legitimize the freedom' and autonomy of each state of the federation, and this' would be unconstitutional. In your country at the time of elected Parliament and the Governor, the parties are mainly two: the Republican Party or GOP Elephant (Great Old Party), and the Democrat, the party of the donkey. In some states, there are other parties, the independence movement, ecologists, and the Communist Party, the Labour Working Class, which usually supports Democrats. These parties are "light", 'cause you reorganize only at local or national elections (in this case are federations of local parties in Italy), and dissolve immediately after the elections. In fact for president, the conventions, you vote for delegates attending the convention and the final will elect the party's candidate for the final race; in america, I have already 'explained, more' parties that there are electoral committees. The Republicans are using the majority system where winner takes all, while Democrats use a proportional system with which many allocate delegates in proportion to votes received. In order to vote you must be registered, you do so at public offices, courts, police stations and town halls, presenting a valid identification and register for a party.

Why 'this happens:
A party that should always be present and make the political struggle full-time, 365 days a year, would cost the wrath of God, and they can not be subsidized by the states and the federal government, do not would make, and make it become a element of corruption continues in all areas, donors, media, supported by false assumptions for non-existent jobs in all fields (for example in Italy the first party funding and 'the RAI that only a few years ago had more than 13,000 employees' those of businesses living and production of collaborative programs, which are all persons under effective political parties), because 'should be used to finance covert and illegal and the criminal justice more effective and that it is ready, fill the jails of members politici.La second most important reason is that American democracy is based on a clear separation of three powers and down of any monopoly, both financial and production 'cause that would limit the power of three legitimate powers, executive, legislative, judicial, or rather would have an institutional conflict. The same would be if a party or constituted under state or federal basis in permanently, so 'would ultimately be up and become a fourth estate unlawful and unconstitutional. The selection of political leaders is this: when you re-elect the state legislature (eg, Texas) the parties shall meet in a place where all the registered party to agree that (convention).
This Convention shall assist and listen to the program of competitors to become the leaders of the various competitors, after which you vote, and whoever gets the most 'votes becomes the only competitor for the position that will challenge 'the rival party opponent. Then there is the convention which lasts a few days, then the vote and the result selected. You may experience various conventions that select the various local candidates, until the end of the state convention that designates the last candidate and this is called "primary", meaning 'the first selection or skimming among the various competitors. The same is true on a national scale when you must 'choose the past two participating in the presidential race. I do not think these things you read in Italian by reading corrirspondenti use.
