Or is their moralistic stance separate from religion?

Bob; That's my point. Has the constitution stopped Bush from doing whatever?

Jerome; Apparently you completely missed the point of my question.

Some would probably enjoy a theocracy, but I think people are a little quiet about the idea. I mean it does go against everything for which the United States were established.

For some, I think they want to set up a "Christian nation" where the Christians have the easy life and it's the non-believers that have it rough. Jesus himself said that we can expect the exact opposite, so I can't understand why neocons want to live the comfy life in a "Christian nation."
Some want to have a theocracy that will protect Israel no matter what the circumstances. God himself will protect Israel, from what I understand in the Bible. So defending Israel regardless of what they do is not right either. The U.S. is Israel's ally, but we shouldn't turn a blind eye when they get out of line.

Several of the Republican candidates seem to favor a theocracy. Mitt Romney went so far as a televised statement about only religion. This is very troubling.

I believe they are trying to set up a theocracy, that is what scares me. It is not the vision under which this country was set up.

Look at the currency, read the last words of the pledge, guess again...

On second look, I think I see where your going with this...
I don't think they need to use the tool of theocracy.

Yes I think they would like that. It might be a case of be careful what you ask for because you might get it, though.
Once established, if it were, its popularity would fade rapidly. It is contrary to the American view.
these are scary people.

Anyone who calls America a "Christian nation" is trying to set up a theocracy in the U.S.
I say that as a Christian, by the way.

Yes. A global warming theocracy driven by UN corruption.

Silly question. Our constitution prohibits this. It's moot.
