God and country associated with only America

Carol Forsloff - God and country seem to be expressed as equal values in pronouncements made by many Americans, mostly Republican, with the notion that the United States is the only country God created in His plan.

Malkin does it now in an article raising the issue that Obama and his minions are doing a land grab now.    She outlines wilderness programs and initiatives are simply ways the government uses to take land from private domain and from people wanting to create businesses and farms on these same lands.

Politicians and others, in advertising and political events, underline how Christians are surrounded by paganism, and the U.S. is the only God-initiated country.  Malkin does this frequently in her posts, including one earlier this year on Independence Day.

This is the type of statement given by Malin and Newt Gingrich. He was joined by Mike Huckabee, in pointing to a number of social issues as evidence.

Last year Gingrich spoke at a forum in Virginia Beach and titled Rediscovering God in America. He said, “I think this is one of the most critical moments in American history. We are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism.” He went on to tell his audience about the religious ties to religion in American government, using Thomas Jefferson and the famous quote that men are endowed by God with certainty and alienable rights. He affirmed that he is not a citizen of the world with a citizen of the United States because “only in the United States does citizenship start with our Creator.”
