I don't know why I find it a bit funny and curious at the same time how Americans mix politics and religion. What has one have to do with the other?

Do not be funny nor curious about it because America is a nation known for her faith in God and they also hold the symbol of liberty it is obvious, atleast you can see even in their money (dollar) written "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the statue errected holding the light of Freedom (symbol of liberty) .
Does it sounds like prophcy??

I guess you read this weeks issue of the TIME magazine. Senator kmieck was denied HOLY COMMUNION for publicly backing Barack Obama. This goes to show that a line has been drawn between commited Catholics and the Democratic Candidate.
