Mitt Romney's Speech vs. JFK's

Both of these men gave eloquent speeches. They will both be remembered and quoted for years to come. Both speeches were given to define religion within a campaign. The similarities basically end there.


JFK sought to make it known to America that Church and State were indeed completely separate. Romney reminded us that GOD belongs in some form or another in anything we do in the name of liberty. He even strongly suggested one cannot be without the other.


Some have even blamed JFK for the overdone separation of church and state that we have today. I am certainly not ready to do that but will say it is born of liberal roots.


Both of these men were great leaders that had faith in their lives and would not suppress or deny it for the sake of gaining the world. That makes me smile and even proud.


Both of these speeches are years removed now but the problem of "Faith in America" still exist. I cannot help but wonder where do we go from here, where do we go from here...
