"May God Bless the United States of America" So glad they're ending the speeches like that.

Reminds everyone that liberals love their country.

1. Frankly I find it to be a jingoistic, trite, formula phrase

That means nothing more than the Democrats feel they have to pander to the religious/nationalistic crowd in this country. The sad thing, the crowd they are trying to appeal to with this phrasing wouldn't vote for them if they were the last people on Earth, so why bother.

[Logical]

9. +1000

[bigwillq]

2. I am not a fan of that line (nt)

[RagAss]

3. What kind of God would bless a country ?

[LeftyMom]

4. People don't have to be superstitious to love their country.

George HW Bush once said they did, but he's a moron.

5. Liberals love their country far more than so-called conservatives do

Wasn't if George Lakoff who said, "Liberals love their country like grownups; conservatives love their country like 4-year-olds love their mommies"?

6. Sounds like a closing to a prayer. I hate it. Amen.

[RC]

7. What happened to separation of Church and State?

This is a political convention for the Head of State, after all.

Leave the religion to those that would take away our freedom.

[eShirl]

8. I say keep religion out of politics, and politics out of religion.
