Tea Party: Why Do A Lot Of You Want To Make The Nation Christian Like The Founding Fathers Supposedly Intended?


I’m not saying all members of the Tea Party make this claim but MANY members rant about it. Also MANY Christians that are not affiliated with the Tea Party make the same claim.
In reality those weren’t the Founding Fathers intentions.
Please read The Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11 which states:
“As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,โ€”as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,โ€”and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan 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”.http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?colโ€ฆ

Is It Possible To Like Both Owls And Crows?


I really like crows, and I have a small collection of stuffed ones I’ve found at flea markets and gift shops (their names are Duke, Jeremy, Onyx, and Straw Hat) and I’ve made a few little ones out of felt (their names are Big Bertha, Sonny, Maryanna, and Mildred). However, with the upcoming movie “The Owls of Ga’hoole” being promoted these days, I’ve noticed really cute little beanie babies of all the main owl characters…I have about three of them, and they are nestled next to Duke and Jeremy w/out apparent problem.
However, I am in conflict about this bcuz I read somewhere that crows and owls have always had enmity b/tw them (this is why Jeremy refuses to enter the chamber of The Great Owl in The Secret of NIMH). But I don’t have anything against owls, myself – and I happen to think barn owls in particular are pretty darn cute. ๐Ÿ™‚ I also like Bob and Terry from Where the Wild things Are. ๐Ÿ™‚ However, when I picked up the second book of the Owls of Ga’Hoole series to flip thru it, I was so put off by the disparaging manner in which they talk about crows in the first chapter, that I decided to skip over that part. I do plan to see the movie, though, when it comes out, cuz it looks darn cute. ๐Ÿ™‚ Could someone help me with this owls vs. crows dilemma? For that matter, why did they become enemies in the first place? Why can they just get along, as the old saying goes?
