While he is wrong and unchristian in his condemnation of secularists, his reasoning on changing the constitution is not all together flawed. The constitution has within it mechanisms to institute changes, wanting to follow that process is not necessarily unamerican, though its aims may very well be. Within the constitution is a prohibition on religious tests for office, but George Washington himself added the words “so help me god” to the presidential oath. Many of the founders would be profoundly unhappy with the lack of religion in this country. He is also correct that fiscal, small government conservatives need help from the religious right to combat the communists among us. What we should be doing however is trying to get the religious right to see our point of view rather than dismissing them or saying we dont need their help. This nation was built by christians, christians can help return it to the right path.
