I pulled this clip out from his longer speech because it is one of the best defenses I have heard from any of the Presidential candidates thus far of why religion in the public square matters, and matters deeply because it is part of our philosophical foundations. It helped to form the foundation of our Republic, and our Republic will fall if we do not restore its importance.
I also asked him about it a bit more after his talk to the crowd:
Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.
