Christian Socialist Party USA

First off we'd like to welcome our Brothers and Sisters of faith. While there are many types, Christian Socialist Party USA works under the old school "big tent" approach like former Christian Socialists of the past century within America.

The second highlight here is joining as a member. It is free! This national website makes no fees or charges for membership, but a local or state may or might do so depending on their bylaws. This will help keep much needed funding for growth, in the area where it will do the most good, directly from local activism towards statewide growth and ballot access.

We are more than willing to accept donations to help expand should you the member or supporter feel this website and additional services are needing more expansion. We also like ideas with plans if you'd like to share in effort. What you do here is totally up to you as a member to increase our unity and visibility to other voters.

Third and last, we welcome supporters and those who wish to know more in learning through self-exchange with others of like mind to this website. We encourage members to create their own local website here with us to hold open and public meetings and invite supporters and onlookers in this exchange of ideas. It is part of Christian outreach as a means towards human dignity.

While the chat is always live it is never saved or recorded. If your group wants to set up a time please feel free to do so. Go to live chat now and learn its' interactive properties.

RUGGLES WAS DISTRIBUTING LITERATURE SAYING JESUS WAS A BASTARD AND HIS MOTHER WAS A WHORE. THIS WAS IN 1811. HE WAS CHARGED WITH AN ATTACK ON THE NATION. THE REASONING BEING IS THAT AN ATTACK ON JESUS WAS AN ATTACK ON CHRISTIANITY. AN ATTACK ON CHRISTIANITY IS AN ATTACK ON A CHRISTIAN NATION AND SINCE WE WERE A CHRISTIAN NATION IT WAS AN ATTACK ON US HE WAS FINED 300 DOLLARS AND GIVEN 5 MONTH IN JAIL

The question begs then, did the Supreme Court recognize the United States as a Christian nation? Well, in 1892 the US Supreme Court made this ruling in a case. (Church of The Holy Trinity vs. The United States.) "No purpose of action against religion can be imputed to any legislation, state or national, because this is a religious people. This is a Christian nation."

"We are not to attribute this prohibition of a national religious establishment to an indifference to religion in general, and especially to Christianity (which none could hold in more reverence, than the framers of the Constitution) . . . Probably at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and of the first amendment to it . . . . the general if not the universal sentiment in America was, that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from the state so far as was not incompatible with the private rights of conscience and the freedom of religious worship. An attempt to level all religions, and to make it a matter of state policy to hold all in utter indifference, would have created universal disapprobation, if not universal indignation . . . The real object of the amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity [secularism], by prostrating Christianity; but exclude all rivalry among Christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government." Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story on the First Amendment

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens, George Washington's farewell address

1983 - Oct. 4, 1982, Joint Resolution of Congress: "Whereas the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique contribution in shaping the United States as a distinctive and blessed nation of people. Whereas Biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil government that are contained in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of The United States ... Whereas that renewing our knowledge of, and faith in God through Holy Scriptures can strengthen us as a nation and a people. Now therefore be it resolved ... that the President is authorized and requested to designate 1983 as a national "Year of the Bible" in recognition of both the formative influence the Bible has been for our nation, and our national need to study and apply the teachings of the Holy Scriptures." February 3, 1983 - President Ronald Reagan issued the above requested proclamation. President George Bush declared 1990 to be the international year of Bible reading

Almost nine out of 10 Americans (86%) say that they believe in God, even when given the choice of saying that they "don't believe in God, but believe in a universal spirit or higher power" (chosen by only eight percent). In fact, only five percent of the population choose neither of these choices and thus claim a more straightforward atheistic position. Gallup Poll, Christmas 1999

93% of North Americans are Christians, less than 2% are Jewish, and less than 2% are a combination of Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus. Encyclopedia Britannica Book of the Year

Amidst all the holiday shopping craziness, most Americans at this time of year want to see holiday signs that wish them a "Merry Christmas."

A new Rasmussen national telephone survey finds that 72% of adults prefer "Merry Christmas," while only 22% like "Happy Holidays."  The survey also found that older Americans favor "Merry Christmas" more than younger adults. See the full article.
