Church Norris is a has been and Romney wantabe

Sorry, CHurch for that you will have to give up being so jealous and covetness Mitt Romney.

Church NOrris doesn't know what is right to stand up for anything,

He needs to pray more and shut up completely or maybe write "THe Idiot's GUide to Survival, and show himself as the perfect example

You go Chuck!

I appreciate you standing up for what is right Mr. Norris. I want to see change in our country that will make it a place that is less revolting to our God. I want it to be a place where babies are not murdered and people are free to protect themselves. I want to see an America that is self reliant in reference to other countries and fully dependent in reference to our Lord Jesus Christ

We, the average middle class americans of the United States of America,
had to endure eight years of Bill Clinton and later eight years of George W. Bush!
We, have had enough of both…..I am happy that we have term limits….However, why do we have to endure more Politics and Lies, from Bill Clinton, his term is over—-if his wife, Hillarry desires to run, then, please shut him up. America is tired of all these same old Politicians. Please, give us a break?

Thank you…………….

I agree with those post between Mark Waikiki…and on down to Rick. As we all can see Left wing liberal people show their true colors when someone doesnt agree with them. God forbid we as a people have moral values, believe in doing more right than wrong, and raising our kids to Love God. And it's funny that people can lash out at someone on one area of their life(acting) when Mr. Norris has done a lot more than that in his life, a lot more than most people put together here on this post, between helping kids, and his many other foundations of giving back to this great nation. But of course left wings dont remember that part, but they place their faith in a woman who didnt really care her husband was cheating on her in the Oval office(Hillary), a man who finally got caught corrupting this country and what it stands for. The same people on here who lash out at a Godly person, turns and votes for the Clintons of the world. But thats what makes our country great, you have your opinion, and I have mine. And I choose to not burn in Hell for eternity. God Bless America!!!

Wow – First of all, how many times can you liberals post the exact same post? Ok, we get it, you don't care what Chuck Norris thinks. Then you want to go on and insult him for standing up for what he believes in. Chuck's behavior is characteristic. He is a fighter, an extremely well disciplined man with high values who will stand up. He probably didn't expect this kind of outlash, but this is what you liberals do best. Let's spend all of our time insulting a 70 year old American Icon just because he gave his opinion. (Yes, he is 70 and in better shape than most who are in their 30's). I admire Chuck and would love for a chance to meet him one day. Considering that he started out as a martial arts champion and not an actor, he has made a heck of a lot of accomplishments. Chuck is a champion with values who can recognize champions with values (he sent a congratulatory letter to Tim Tebow after his Hiesman win). So regardless of what all the left-wingers believe, there are many of us out here who do care who Chuck Norris endorses. Good job Chuck on standing firm in the face of a massive onslaught. I have a better question though….. Who really cares what the ultra liberal thinks??? Liberalism is, a form of mental illness they say.

Mike you got my vote!

God bless America.

"This nation was not founded on Christian principles???"

Look at your Pledge of Allegiance and look at your money and tell me how you leave God out of it.

I can't understand these negative comments. What does it take to open your eyes so you will understand that christian values are not only good for churches and families, but for business and politics and the country? Don't take it from me, READ THE WORD of your Creator for yourself and pray about who to vote for in 2008, and the choice will become clear, and I believe it will be Huckabee.

Thank God we have a presidential candidate with solid Christian values. Having a great country starts by raising families that are rooted the solid moral principles from which this country has slowly let decay. Maybe the USA can set a good example for all the world. Thanks for supporting Huckabee, Chuck.

Many of the folks who wrote their commentary have no clue what they are saying. Movies that people make have nothing to do with this election or with the intelligence or wisdom of the actor. Chuck Norris has spent most of his adult life helping kids and that makes him a good person. Before you citicize out of hand, live up to the standard he has set. he walks the talk and stands for what he believes. He has the right to support the person he believes would best lead this country and probably has done much more research on his candidate's character and qualifications than most of those who ridicule his choice. Since when does an American not have the right to his opinion or endorsement for that matter?

This country needs a major overhaul, honesty and integrity re introduced into our political framework. I am paying close attention to all candidates and feel as though Mr. Huckabee is clear on issues and has not sold out to the inplace powerful many. If we were to vote tomorrow, he would get my vote and also as many as I can influence to support him!!

It is unfortunate that so many insecure people only feel important when they personally attack someone. Usually they only do it after someone else has started. I'm sure Mr. Norris doesn't care anything about what these people think. He seems quite capable of making up his own mind, and obviously, of forming his own opinion. Imagine that, someone that actually has his own opinion. That’s more than can be said for most people…

Great Heavens! What is that on his head?

After reading what good 'ole Chuck said and just how stupid it was I think I'll junk my Total Gym. I don't think I want anything to do with him anymore. What a disapointment.

Does CNN stand for Comedy National Network? This is hilarious!!!

So what!

People who are dissing Chuck you are going to die. You are probably fat liberal idiots who want dead babies more than peace and harmony. I am not worrying about you anymore because you are as good as dead. COD: Roundhouse kick to the face. Die liberals die!!!

Chuck Norris is absolutely right. It's not a power hungry ambition that drives this man, but an honest love for people and this country. He can be trusted to do the right thing. In this country the people are sovereign and he would fight to keep it that way. The thought of living under a global socialist government should terrify everybody. Erasing our borders and subordinating our Supreme Court to an international self appointed court in Belgium are but a couple of the ways our country is being sold down the river by all those patriotic folks on the left, including Bush. These are some very serious, life and death issues and Huckabee would be the best man to communicate the ramifications of these potential changes to the people. He not only makes his position clearly understood, but he also has an eloquent way of framing an issue in a way that is very clear and respectful of the intelligence his audience. He is the man we need at this crucial time, but I worry that we won't be smart enough to give the job to the right man. It seems more like a pageant.

Chuck Norris. It has been years since I have really heard anything new from you other then the occassional joke. But now that you are back, I'm glad your getting into something worthwhile like politics. I'm sure backing up Mike Huckabee will help him a lot.

What a stretch it is to say that the Founding Fathers were secularists!
As Ben Franklin said to the lady on the street after the signing of the constitutiion, "we have given you a Republic, if you can keep it."

Give a good ol boy from Arkansas a chance. You did once before and the Dems rank him as one of the Nations best Presidents. Huckabee "is a good man who will not do a bad thing." Sorry Mister Carvel, I had to kinda rip your oneliner off about the other President from Arkansas.

everyone who has posted something about the founding fathers setting up the most secular country in the world at the time is correct, however, they did this to protect the CHURCH not the state. They wanted to make sure that the state could not force people to believe a certain religion or keep them from worshiping in their own way, not prevent people who believe in god from running the country.

Also, nowhere in the constitution does it state "There shall be separation of Church and State." What the constitution ACTUALLY says is "The government will not restrict nor endorse any religion over another." Separation of Church and State was later interpreted from this. Only recently has it been abused to remove all evidence of any religion (especially Christianity) from state owned property.

As if the "Chuck Norris jokes" that were overplayed three years ago weren't reason enough to hate him.

When I saw Norris sit in one night for moron O'Reilly while channel surfing, I said I would never watch another movie of his. I haven't and always thought he was a level headed person but seeing him sit in for the talking heads on Fox noise proved me wrong.

Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the jaw. Its descendants are known as Giraffes.

That's good, but not surprising. Chuck is a conservative. Huckabee is my favorite so I enjoyed reading this. Huckabee is a good man.

Norris is RIGHT, and so is Huckabee. Scoff if you must, but if you think the fires in Malibu are hot, wait until the Hollywood crowd sees hell. America is far better off with a President who fears God, than one who fears nothing.

Posted By lou tulsa ok : October 23, 2007 1:23 pm

Hey Lou? Where the hell have you been? The Square Planet?

Time to come back to reality….

Mr. Norris, the Total Gym that you "endorse" on your infomercials turned out to be an over-priced, poorly-made piece of garbage, so you have no credence with me when endorsing a Presidential candidate.

It saddens me to read many of the comments posted above. Society is better off without God?

Though I don't normally take part in such asinine banter I have to say I side with Chuck Norris on this. I would hate to live in a country run by secular liberals.

Goobye God. Goodbye Christianity! Welcome Cuba! Welcome Nazi Germany! Welcome Red China! No wait . . . welcome Afghanistan!

Being from a city nearby Fullerton, CA I have to swear to God and Chuck and everyone else that the person posting as ME from Fullerton is not in any way, shape or form a reflection of the good people or even the bad people of Orange County, CA.
This person must be ignored when considering the general intelligence of our people or our ranking goes to hell.

Norris is RIGHT, and so is Huckabee. Scoff if you must, but if you think the fires in Malibu are hot, wait until the Hollywood crowd sees hell. America is far better off with a President who fears God, than one who fears nothing.

"Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”

How is that like our founding fathers? Was it them who put "In God We Trust" on out money? No. Was it them that put "Under God" in our pledge? No.

Was it our founding fathers who specifically drafted our constitution so that we must all believe in a single god? Nope, they never did that either. In fact, the non-establishment clause is pretty clear.

So, how is he like the founding fathers? And, if there is a "Creator", why does he need anyone to "stand up" for him? Isn't god all powerful? And why hasn't he smited me yet?

328 roundhouse kicks and counting

"I am pretty much sure most of commentators in this CNN blog are from outside US who are notably the US enemies. They might be even the same persons who are trying to persuade faith based Americans to stay away from Godly issues "

what a crock this is….the overwhelming majority knows the value of separation of church and state….as an athiest I'm outraged by your high and mighty insinuations….the proof is right in front of your face…theocracies across the world are the least developed, and most likely to abuse their citizens. Keep your religion OUT OF MY FACE….

Re: C in Greenville,

"It is one thing to disrespect someone but their God? It's not only insulting but hurtful."

Grow up. God by definition cannot be hurt. And it was Chuck Norris who attacked the secularists like me, first. All I did was point out the brute facts that nonreligious societies are better off than religious ones.

Hurtful? Did I hurt your imaginary friends feelings? Fine! Good! Maybe then you and your religious partners in crime will stop bombing so many innocent people! Maybe you and your imaginary God will stop telling people what to do in the bedroom, or what to learn in school!

Finally someone's feelings got hurt! Not too nice when the "secularists" defend themselves from your bigotry and your imaginary friend's stupid little rules, is it?

Dont you have some praying to do somewhere? Go pray for me to dissapear or something. If you prayed more to God maybe he wouldnt let people like me run amok and hurt your sensivite little feelings in the comments section of a website. Sheesh.

Re: TP,

The Founding Fathers did NOT recognize any Christian God as a creator. They were "deists" if you even know what that means. Shame on ME for defending the modern world from barbarians like Chruck Norris?

TP, you need to grow up and get rid of your imaginary friends. Shame on me. Yea right! It isnt me who is leading the world in sucking at everything I do; thats the Christians job. Enjoy your divorce and STDs and low income and lack of education and war. Ill hang out with the "evil secularists" and have my health and peace and prosperity and technology and freedom and progress.

Norris on the Good Guys side:
Huckabee 1, everyone else – killed by Chuck Norris.

While his point is slightly off in completeness, his opinion is still valid. Many posters (most of which remained Anon) had the same opinion regarding our nation and the “separation of church and state.” That the founding fathers set up our nation as-it-is today is kind of foolish. They were breaking off from European control in which they saw the combination of a ruler who controlled both religion and faith outright. They developed the 1st Amend. Which allowed people too choice various religions. The fact that it is a “secular” ideal is undeniable; however the nation is not fully secularized. There is no law disallowing religion to be involved in politics or business, therefore the nation that the founding fathers developed cannot be considered fully secular. It might be splitting hairs, but Norris clearly is referring to the desire to keep faith and religion involved in our lives so that the nation does not moral crumble ‘al Soviet Union. As for the founding fathers not following a creator… come on, its well documented that they were religious and God-fearing. They belived that a creator could help establish a nation to allow anyone to prosper. Chuck is tough to argue against, I hope all of you watch your backs; although if you don’t know Chuck Norris is already behind you: You’re already dead.

I see some on here still do not understand that the FRAMERS wanted a Secular Government…Obvisouly all those cuts in education by the GoP have made a difference over the years…

Time to become educated…READ BELOW!!!

You show me where ANY Framer of our Constitution said something like this, "Norris added. “He doesn't abandon his values for what's expedient. Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”

& I'll give you a millon fucin' dollars…Thinking like this is exactly what is wrong with most Americans; most simply do not understand why or how our nation was formed the way it was…

In fact,
Let me set the record straight about HOW THE FRAMERS STOOD FOR SECULARISIM & the United States….

John Adams:
The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses.
– John Adams, "A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America" (1787-88), from Adrienne Koch, ed., The American Enlightenment: The Shaping of the American Experiment and a Free Society (1965) p. 258, quoted from Ed and Michael Buckner, "Quotations that Support the Separation of State and Church"

Jefferson:

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State."

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Danbury Baptist Association, CT., Jan. 1, 1802

Treaty of Tripoli Stating that the US is not and was not founded as a "christian nation" Passed unanimously, with many in the Seante who were founders of the US…

"As the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen [Muslims] … it is declared … that no pretext arising from religious opinion shall ever product an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries….
"The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation."
— Treaty of Tripoli (1797), carried unanimously by the Senate and signed into law by John Adams (the original language is by Joel Barlow, US Consul)

Need I show you more???

"oh, great. Now I have to start hating
chuck Norris."

Yup, as a liberal democrat you are required to hate each and every person who is not an ideological soldier marching to liberalism. Now please enlighten me on how tolerant you liberal democrats are.

I'm not a religious person but since I have respect for people of all faiths, I find it to be my duty as an American to vote against the Democratic Party that has a severe hatred of the Christian religion. Freedom of religion should not be taken away from religions that liberal Democrats hate, but that is what all the liberals posting here truly want.

The Lib Democrats should respect Christianity and Christians as they do Islam and Muslims.

Then again we are talking about people who fully support the Dictator from Iran being able to speak his mind here, yet look to censor each and every conservative voice that has a speech with ideas, facts, and beliefs that contradict liberalism.

The hard core fundamentalist religious extremists in America are a very very small minority in this country. However, even this less than 3% of the population is far more tolerant, open-minded, loving, and respectful than the 30% or so of liberal democrats in America today.

Norris picks Huckabee…Ill bet the Dems are really shaking in their boots now!

Chuck Norris will beat down the spirit of the presidential with his spiritual fist.

It appears that some of you need hugs….secular today and secular 200+ years ago are very different. Mr. Kinney from Sherman Oaks needs to dig a little deeper rather than basing his rants on what the media tells him.
PS. YOU BETTER LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER…DONT EVER DISAGREE WITH CHUCK!!

Ron Paul should kick chuck's ace for such an insult, not supporting his fellow Texan.

Chucky,

Kiss my . . .

Mike,

Anyone can cherry-pick quotes from the past to prove their point.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams

Power always thinks… that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.
John Adams

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation.
If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should
still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most
essential instrument for civilizing the nations.
John Adams

I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
Thomas Jefferson

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
Thomas Jefferson

The god who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.
Thomas Jefferson

t is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.
George Washington

Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

George Washington

All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world.
Ben Franklin

Finally, a celebrity who is not afraid to speak up for conservative values! Right on Chuck. Go Huckabee!

Huckabee, Suckabee, he's a religious fruit-loop…only a guy who is well-passed his prime and been kicked in the head too many times to count could endorse this nut…

I'm a Democrat and not voting for a Republican, but I respect Huckabee as a good man with principles. That being said, Mr. Norris should review his history. Many of the founding fathers were in fact what would be called today, secularist. Thomas Jefferson authored the term "Separation of Church and State" and James Madison used it frequently. This debate isn't something new that liberals devised to destroy America, it's been around since the founding of the republic.

Seriously I dont think Chuck Norris will be reading any of this. So how about posting postive feedback or DONT READ WHAT YOU DONT BELIVE IN!

Obama…is NOT the people choice nor is he the one to bring together anything!

Mike Huckabee is actually my favorite candidate! Every debate he just stands out…hes strong doesnt back down and stands up for what he belives in. For all you followers of Jesus Christ, we know the truth…we need a true man of God to lead this country. Go Chuck Norris…I love finding out whose a republican in Hollywood…there are still some smart ones out there!

Carol from Rutland said, They [Founding Fathers] just didn't want the government to force one particular religion on the people. Why do people today think this means they intended the US to be an athiest [sic] nation?

Carol, nobody has said the Founders wanted an atheist nation. They wanted a secular nation. Big difference. Nobody in 250+ posts has even advocated national atheism.

Mike Beringer said, in part, Let me set the record straight

Thanks dude. Sad to say, but with so much ignorance about our Founding Fathers, the history lesson was seriously needed. Nice job providing quotes instead of just saying, “nuh uh”.

He's exactly RIGHT! Norris has the guts to confront the silly leftist atheist and "liberal" nuts. The constitution is NOT a secular docu,emt as some you small brained children profess. If you take tye time to read the mayFlower compact which WAS the preceded the constitution you may want to humble your silly selves and realize just how gullible you are. If you actaull study science and maro evolution you actually may learn that evolution is a FOOL'S folly. Even Antony Flew conceded the fact that evolution may not have happen. So you parrots of Gould and Dawkins as well as Sagan might learn something if you INVESTIGATE FACTS instead of repeating Sagan dogma which is preposterous. There is absolutely NOT one shred of evidence of evolution EVER occuring micro or macro except what THEY> Leftist atheist..Gould, Dawkins and Sagan PREACHED!! They preacticed scientism and espoused dogmatic claims without the evidence. You silly gullible children only beleive what yo're told, and deny the obviousness of what you see! I feel sorry for you simpletons who take the easy road of life and mimic fools who offer you nothing but the grave, When Christ has offered you eternal life sinply by believing in HIM!

I totally disagree with Chuck's views, and most of Huckabee's views. Still, I can't help but really like Mike Huckabee. So I say, GO HUCKABEE!!

People who call themselves "Christian" and also "Conservative" seem not to understand the man who stormed through the temple and scattered the money changers. Christian Conservative is an oxymoron.

I'm going to withhold my support for a candidate until I find out where Steven Seagal comes down on the issues…

Huckabee is the true republican.He has my vote he is the only non lair to vote for

All you guys that hate the smallest mention of religion and quote letters from founders fail in one very important aspect; none of you actually understand what you cite. Not one of you have been able to produce any law, resolution or any other government document that forbids religious viewpoints by elected officials. You all seem to take the fact that the constitution forbids a governmnet sanctioned or "official" religion as proof that religion cannot be involved in government at all.
The fact that a christian may be elected to any office does not violate any aspect of the constitution until and except if that person attempts to impose it BY LAW on the others who do not share that belief.
To be a christian and call for christain morals is a far cry from making law.
You all seem to have difficulty understanding that it is not only a christian thing to prevent death, stealing, adultry and other "christian" values it is a human thing. Last I checked it was against the law to murder in Russia and I believe that is an agnostic country. It is also a country that understands rules have to be imposed on any society for it to function.
All christians want is a system by which we can teach our children not to steal, cheat, rape, cuss and otherwise be a pack of animals. It's hard to do this when those of you who believe standards are pointless are trying to put things in the constitution that are not there.
However I do believe that if I were to murder someone you love you would develop a sudden demand for what is right and wrong.

you guys are right, the founding fathers were all atheists. thats why in the in declaration of independence they say our right come from a Creator. Do you guys even know what Huckabees message is or do you all just want to slander him and spam support for your own candidates.

who cares about chuck. he is a has been!

Before the religious right discards one of its own, Dr. Ron Paul, let me say that as a former and recovering Democrat, Ron Paul was instrumental in getting my attention and introducing me to the conservative, Constituional philosophy. Ron Paul's campaign has attracted many disefranchised Democrats who are looking for a better way.

Is this old dude someone I should have heard of?

You all keep spouting abot this being a secular country and not a Christian one but obviously you've never read anything that they said or wrote besides the few scraps that are mostly taken out of context to try and validate your point.

This little clip here if read by any individual with COMMON SENSE, will have to give you some pause in your beliefs.

James Madison

“ We’ve staked our future on our ability to follow the Ten Commandments with all of our heart.”

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]

• I have sometimes thought there could not be a stronger testimony in favor of religion or against temporal enjoyments, even the most rational and manly, than for men who occupy the most honorable and gainful departments and [who] are rising in reputation and wealth, publicly to declare the unsatisfactoriness [of temportal enjoyments] by becoming fervent advocates in the cause of Christ; and I wish you may give in your evidence in this way.
Letter by Madison to William Bradford (September 25, 1773)
• In 1812, President Madison signed a federal bill which economically aided the Bible Society of Philadelphia in its goal of the mass distribution of the Bible.
“ An Act for the relief of the Bible Society of Philadelphia” Approved February 2, 1813 by Congress

WOW imagine if someone said that today. You liberal loons would tell them it is unconstitutional for the government to fund an organization and would call them religious nuts.

Read some of the quotes by our founders before you go spouting your secular nonsense.

Mr. Norris is just as entitled as any other American to make his choice of candidate for President.

Because he is a celebrity he naturally has a bigger audience when his choice is announced. However, my choice is not predicated on what choices others make, I make my own.

Congratulations and kudos to Mr. Norris for taking a stand and being involved.

Hillary Clinton '08.

Everybody know's Chuck is a loser.

Check it.

You making a stand for Huckabee will help get his name out! Thank you for your stand for Huckabee!!!!

Huckabee '08

I am pretty much sure most of commentators in this CNN blog are from outside US who are notably the US enemies. They might be even the same persons who are trying to persuade faith based Americans to stay away from Godly issues by writing as many comments as possible from different computers (there are net cafes in those 3rd world countries where every net cafe can have as many as 50 computers, I used to live in those countries). So you can guess who they are: terorist groups, muslims and socialists/communists. They might get paid by local government too and their main goal is to first make USA as pure secular country by destroying Christianiy, then the US itself will be destroyed and taken over. Once the Christianity is gone, USA will be dead. They are very well know about this. That's why the main step is to attack the Christianity first.

Be careful my fellow Americans. That's only a matter of time they will take over our country. May God keep with us.

Good for Chuck. and I'm glad I know who's he supporting.
Ah, Carol , MD… your cat just blogged me and said its leaning toward Clinton and that it wants you to apologize for slighting it. I'd give it a treat tonite if I were you.

LOL, this is just as significant!!

It's obvious to me that CNN is a Liberal hangout with all of the name calling posts shown here. When you are ignorant of the facts and have no way to support your position, insult the person, and ignore the facts…an old Liberal trick.

I suggest you guys take your blinders off and go to a network that isn't as biased like CNN to see the real news.

You might learn something…like the truth…and the truth shall set you free.

Please feel free to insult me…I would consider it an honor.

Next up, Kramer endorses Tancredo!

What a farce this man is.

Good for Chuck

BTW CNN, the Planet is NOT in Peril

Chuck Norris once made a round-house kick so fast that his foot broke the speed of light and subsequently went back in time and single handedly won the Vietnam war for Nixon and solved the Kennedy assasination!

WOW!! y all the Hate Demo's??? I agree with Chuck … Huckabee IS a Man of his Convictions….. Right or Wrong .. You know where He Stands! I also like Hunter … Hey! Who's the Troll who keeps posting (in all these "tickers") to vote for "Ron Paul" ?? Never Happen…Hell, He's LEFT of Socialist Hillary!! HAR!!

WOW! Why all the Hate Demo's? I agree with Chuch – I like Huckabee – He's a Man us his Convictions – Call him Right or wrong .. But you sure knows where he stands! Who's the Libby Troll who keeps posting "vote for Ron Paul" in ALL these "Tickers"?? Is this some kinda attempt to sway the Repubs to vote him in to face Hillary and her Socialist agenda? Never happen – Hell, He's even farther Left than her! HAR!!

WHO CARES WHO CHUCK NORRIS SUPPORTS.

That's terrific Chuck. That way my vote will cancel out yours. )

It's incredible how all of you "smart, politically savy" CNN.com readers still turn to the ticker for your "news". I read several articles every day, and it seems that this is the kind of article that goes on the ticker. It involves politics. Watch, in a few days Rozanne and other 90s TV stars will make their picks, and we can look on here.

Save your debates on religion for the "Anti-God" or "Anti-Everybody Else" clubs that you're in. Chuck Norris is obviously a believer. He made his decision based on his belief. And above all, he wasn't afraid to let everyone know that he wants a strong believer in the White House. Good for you Chuck.

Everyone has their right to choose their religion (or no religion at all). Those of you that are scared of the Christian-Right have nothing to worry about. You can keep wearing towels on your head and sacrificing goats. There are check-and-balances that will let you worship animals and hug trees until the cows come home. And, you can always write about it right here on the Ticker. CNN, I appreciate the ticker. Very entertaining. Keep them coming.

Great point!!! Kudos!!!

Just look how successful the non-secular governments in the Middle East and Lower Asia are – a real model for chaos!!!

"…Our founding fathers wanted God and religion in our system of government…." Posted By Carol, Rutland, MA

The thing is, Carol, which religion? When you say not any particular one, I'll bet you mean any evangelical Protestant denomination will do. The largest American religious group would be Roman Catholicism, but smaller groups of Americans should not be ignored. Santeria? Hinduism? Buddhism? Mormonism? Baptist? Which kind, northern or Southern Baptist? The founding fathers were mostly Christian and a little bit Deist, but their kind of Protestantism was not our kind of Protestantism. Besides, their generation cannot dictate our religious preferences from the grave; the choice must be made by living Americans. I personally have a preference for Greek Orthodox because their art is so interesting. I suggest that Greek Orthodox images be placed in all public places. Is that OK with you?

! ! ! THIS JUST IN ! ! !

Barney, Kermit and Cookie Monster will be holding a town hall meeting tonight to announce their endorsements!

Betcha Faux News covers it – fair and balanced, dontcha know!!!

To Elliott in NC:

Do yourself and the rest of us a favor – read what the founding fathers actually said and intended when founding our great nation!

Don't take the word of your minister or one who plays one on television.

This country was founded for all to worship as they please, without persecution, with no one ideology or group-related ideology (i.e. Christianity) foisting over the rest.

I'm sorry you and yours have trouble sharing the planet with those different than you, so living in NC, with all its old issues, must really be a challenge for someone like you.

Besides what is the "right" Christian ideology anyway. I'm Catholic, so I know you don't have much time for me and mine….!!!

Come on CNN…given all the IMPORTANT news that is happening, why does this qualify as "Ticker" material. Edward R. Murrow (I doubt if you hacks at CNN know who that is) must be spinning in his grave!!!

While Norris is so concerned with the intent of the Founding Fathers, maybe he can ask George Bush to stop pissing on the Constitution.

Why would I care whom Chuck Norris backs for President. Why is this news?

Why does CNN think that anybody cares? Sure, Norris is an entertaining personality, but is there so little happening in the world that this makes the news?

One too many kicks to the head will do it.

Chuck Norris should be stripped of his rank of Master in martial arts for the disrespect he shows people who are not right-wing conservatives

chuck norris? A hollywood elite? Who the heck cares?

FYI…the reason the Separation of Church and State is implied in our country's foundation, can be exhibited when Baptist orphanages deny Catholics adoption rights because they don't consider Catholics as "Godly enough."

Once the wall that protects us from zealotry being weaved into our governmental policies, who is to say WHICH religion will it be?

You "pro-religious" nuts are scary…you do not THINK things through, and have poor understanding of history, and the events which led to our founding. Good luck with that.

Chuck Norris epitomizes the anithesis of the theory of 'intelligent design'…(which is probably the only thing correct about this concept)

Chuck's knowledge of government and politics is abviously as poor as his acting. But this is America where even the pooly informed citizen has rights . . . at least the right to speak out about how they feel concerning who ought to lead this nation. Chuck is wrong, dead wrong, but he's right to voice his opinion.

Personally, I think ol' Chuck has been kicked in the head too many times, and as such is getting better and better at making a fool of himself publicly.

Sorry Chuck..Huckabee just committed political suicide by equating the holocaust with abortion.

Gov. Huckabee seems to be the most competent and natural candidate for the Republicans.

Obviously, the glue that holds that dead rat onto Chuck's bald head has seeped into his brain.

Chuck – not only don't you know squat about what our founding fathers stood for, but your comment about how Huckabee "respects others' beliefs" is disproven when you talk about his committment to "saving marriage." Creating laws that discriminate against those whose way of life goes against your particular religion is hardly "respect."

Or were you referring to saving marriage from the absurdly high divorce rate? Oh… OK then.

You "conservatives" want smaller government – except when it comes to the bedroom. Stick to what you're good at, and go punch or kick something. And keep your god to yourself.

Just as CBS cancelled "Walker, Texas Ranger", look for the cancellation of Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign in the near futire.

When did it become news that Chuck Norris supports a candidate. Who cares what the washed up actor thinks. Vote Ron Paul 2008.

"After reading these responses one can see why we are the silent majority. He who makes the loudest noise is rarely the most intelligent. Our founding fathers wanted God and religion in our system of government. They just didn't want the government to force one particular religion on the people. Why do people today think this means they intended the US to be an athiest nation? That couldn't be farther from the truth. Chuck, don't let some of these posted comments bother you, more of us agree with you than you realize.

Excuse me? Are you actually trying to insult anyone but yourself? I would rather speak up then be trampled by someone like you who seems to think they are superior. Who says that any of us are atheists? I am a Buddhist. The reason the majority of us do not not want religion in our government can be best expressed by looking at the Middle East. Look what religion in government has done for them? Women are second class. People are killed, tortured, and die for no reason. Civility is lacking in this part of the world sadly. And yet you still want us to think that being ruled by Christians or any other religious group is going to be any better? Please! Sadly, there are a lot of people ill-equipped to understand the true nature of religion which is a personal and core matter. Religion has a place in the heart and mind but the head must stay secular.

As some of you have mentioned before, Chuck Norris's statement about the founding fathers is false. In fact, some lampooned the writers of the Constitution for not including God in it.

Chuck Norris doesn't memorize history, he makes it up.

I GUESS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CULT HERO COMMENT IN THE STORY. AT LEAST ON THE PROGRAM YOU DO NOT SEE A LOT OF DISGRACEFUL SEX SCENCES

Chuck Who?????

Chuck Norris should pray for a new toupee

A has-been endorsing a never-was. No way am I voting Republican ever again. Between the corruption and the religious whackos, the GOP has lost all credibility in my eyes.

To Lance of Monrovia, Mexifornia.

Barack Obama is not a seriously taken candidate for election. Electing a Muslim to deal with the Middle East and Muslim extremists would be like choosing Osama to be Hillary's running mate. Actually, if she thought that would get her elected, she'd probably go along with that……..

I heart Huckabee. Looks like me and Chuck will be the only two folks voting for the old huckster. I hope he gave Mike a thumbs up like he did Vince Vaughn in Dodge ball. If he didn't I'd be shocked and saddened.

MR NORRIE HAS A RIGHT VOTE

who cares

3 cheers for corporate media. This is really newsworthy. What a bunch of hacks. Who does Brittney Spears think should be president?

Maybe they can go a step further and create Chuck as a political candidate. Worked for Arnie. Ain't fascism great!

I believe anyone who is not looking at a true blue republican like Ron Paul is not paying attention. He supports many concerns that are affecting every american today. I felt this country was not where it should be with the corruption not seen in years. We need to support substance and not lying smily hype like "Mr. 9-11″ or war monger Clinton. Google Ron Paul and see his message. He is the real deal, if I'm saying this it's because I want a free country for my children not the dirty tactics being done to us today. As far as the authors of the Constition and Bill of Rights, well you democrats better wise up because they're not some pieces of paper which was Bushy Jr said. I'm ranting and as far as religon, it all has us fighting among ourselves and remember a divided people are easy to confuse and conquer but a unite front of one people can't be stopped. Stop looking so much into religon. The only important idea is that God is the most powerful and he will help us if we help ourselves. If you want a free America and not another fallen country then WAKE UP and SAY WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE.IDEAS ARE BULLET PROOF!!!!!

"Secularist beliefs"? Oh yes, God forbid that we should embrace secular beliefs!

Except of course for the fact that the "secular" parts of the USA have higher education, less divorce, less infant mortality, less teen pregnancy, and higher per capita income than the "Godly" parts of the USA.

The verdict is in. Societies are demonstrably worse off when they have God on their side.

Posted By Aaron Kinney, Sherman Oaks CA : October 22, 2007 11:55 am

Usually I do not respond to personal comments on new stories, but I would like to think you are a better man than this. It is one thing to disrespect someone but their God? It's not only insulting but hurtful.

The Democrats have been listening to the Pubs for over 7 years and we are sick and tired of the garbage coming out of their mouths. If their were no Democrats around, the psycho cowboy would have either had America blown up or bankrupt by now.

Gee, thanks, CNN. I have been climbing the walls with anxiety and impatience waiting to know who this noted intellectual (and magnificent actor as well) thinks (so to speak) should be our president. My life will be complete when you report Britney's plan for a Palestinian state.
This is news? You should be ashamed to call yourself a news organization.

Keep those vitally important news items rolling on in, CNN! Way to not make anything of a mockery or our political system, by the way. Chuck Norris has all the credentials necessary for me to respect his assuredly well-informed, educated, and considered political decisions!

I'm with you Chuck. Huckabee for president all the way. If you really want to make this a better country than what it is today–just listen to what Huckabee has to say and see what he and his run for the White House is all about. He is the best man for the job.

Like Chuck Norris is someone I would listen to for voting purposes.

How is this news? I dont care who celebs support for president.

i would like to point out that "secularist beliefs" is technically a contradiction in terms.

Agreed, Chuck! Mike Huckabee seems to be the leader when it comes to mature, humble character and strong leadership skills.
Rory in Alaska – An independent, non-partisan voter

THIS. IS. NOT. NEWS.

Chuck can act (so, so). Walker, Texas Ranger is a very good show; but to say that "Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs". How can he say such a stupid and degrading comment.

He obviously didn't pay attention to the Government class in High School. Separation of Church and State ( HELLOOOOO!).

Too bad for these bozos that, no matter how hard they try to legislate their beliefs down the throats of Americans, they won't succeed. I'll stop here because I don't want to get started on religions and the things that have been in the past in our world's history in the name of God!

Just goes to show you, that you can have braun without brain!!!!!!!!

"In God We Trust" was made the national motto in 1956 (not 1776 guys). It was a bad idea, meant to distinguish us good Christians from those heathen communist atheists. I think it's a fraud of a motto for a secular country, but that's neither here nor there. Just people please when you're talking about something have the decency to know a little bit about it. Our founders created a secular state. That means religion doesn't have a role to play. That's just as it should be.

Uhm – our founding Fathers were fanatically secular. Whose history is he reading? But good, the more these people split themselves up the better in my mind. Enough is enough.

Mr.Norris has frightened some people.
The Romans were frightened of Christ
and they eventually fell."that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights"

oh, great. Now I have to start hating
chuck Norris.

Just for clarification, the founding fathers were not "secularists." Many of them were Diests (after all, Thomas Jefferson wrote his own version of the Bible). They created a government which did not have a federally organized religion. There is a big difference.

"Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs."

WHAT??!

The founding fathers built a nation on secularism.

AHHRHRRRRRR!!!!

Chuck Norris does not share my opinion on presidential candidates! He must be bad!!!!

AHHHHHRRRRRRRRTR!!!!

Curse you Chuck Norris, for not sharing my view (the right view, the true view.)

Blah, blah, blah, neocon bad, blah, blh, blah religion bad!!!

Several people keep saying that the founding fathers did mean for this to be a Christian nation. Could you please provide me with some annotated references? I'll be happy to take a look. I don't mind hearing opposing points of view, but please give me something to go on besides a blog post.

Why should CNN or any citizen care who Chuck Norris supports for president? As for Mike Huckabee, he is too inexperienced for the job of president. That's not to says the others are runaway high-qualifiers either. Huckabee carries the extra burden of being a religious conservative, a creationist, and is probably anti-science. In other words, another George Bush, but perhaps a bit smarter. The country does not need Huckabee as president. Four or 8 more years of Republican rule will do this country in. And the more conservative the candidate, the faster we fall.

Right on!!

Contrary to popular belief, the Soviet Union did not fall because of Reagan's defense buildup or democracy movements in Warsaw Pact countries, but rather because KGB officials viewed Chuck Norris in Delta Force and decided that their defeat was a foregone conclusion.

This is not news. This is a washed-up huckster of peace through violence endorsing a candidate whose folksy exterior hides a man whose values and policies would hurt millions of people. Perhaps pretty appropriate after all.

For those who commented that there is no mention of religion or God in the U.S. Constitution, here is an excerpt taken ver batum from the Constitution just above the area where the founding fathers signed the document:

"Done in convention by the unanimous consent of the states present the seventeenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven and of the independence of the United States of America the twelfth."

If the founding fathers were secularists and/or non-religious, then why would they sign a document referencing the Lord? If you're going to make an assertion, you need to have read the document!

“He doesn't abandon his values for what's expedient. Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”

What a profoundly ignorant statement. It's obvious that Norris is living in a completely different country than the one I'm living in. Any history book will tell you that the founding fathers were Diests and overtly skeptical, if not downright hostile to organized religious of any form.

so glad to hear my favorite karate man is a good republican. party of choice makes a difference in what I watch on television or the movies.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!! Chuck Norris? This might actually help Mr. Huckabee. He can just have Chuck roundhouse kick the other canidates. LoL!! This is a bigger joke than Opera endorsing Obama. Next we'll have 50 Cent endorse Hillary. LoL!!

Who is Chuck Norris?

Jack Jett

To mediajunkie
So now we are getting our consitutions from a personal letter. Wow. If that is the case let's hope they don't find any letters from one of the first supreme court justices or any of the religious founding fathers.
And to the one refering to my comment as stupid…well said…couldn't have said it any better myself. Thats how the left wingers argue. They have no basis, no facts, no proof. They just throw their junk out there and indoctrinate young minds not to think. It is because we say it is.

IS THIS REALLY NEWS? Why should I care that Chuck Norris has finally announced what stupid Republican candidate he will support? I would be embarrassed to admit that I am a Republican. Kind of like the fools that are still driving around with a W sticker on their car. I will now move him into the category with other entertainer idiots such as Toby Keith and Ted Nugent.

Aint that a kick in the teeth. I'm for separation of church and state. I think the state should separate the church from all its money, put the church property back on the tax rolls (since it's just buildings, not opinions) and render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's, if you believe in God, or Caesar.

YOU TELL'UM CHUCK! I VOTING FOR HUCKABEE!

Chuck is a really cool guy so stop saying all this mean stuff about him you do not even know him.

Chuck Norris is a maybe B list movie actor but does not influence my choice of President.
Mike Huckabee is a Mullah wannabe and would try his best to make this country into a theocracy. If he put on a turban he would fit well in Iran.

I can really care less what the heck Chuck Norris thinks. Really.

Unbelievable that this is on your website. Who in the world cares what Walker Texas Ranger thinks?

I'm voting for Stephen Colbert. He's running as a Republican AND a Democrat. Colbert is a respected and comedic leader, and, like Chuck Norris, he's not afraid to declare the absurd to elicit laughter from the rational people of this country.

This is a great day for America, is their any video we can post for a video of the day?

http://votd.wordpress.com

God bless Chuck Norris and his right to choose!

Has CNN stooped so low as to offer an action movie "star" his own blog about his choice for presidential candidate? Chuck better stick to karate chops because its quite obvious he's not well versed in anything other than scripts littered with sophomoric dialogue.

It's disappointing to see so many people who feel it's necessary to personally attack Mr. Norris for his opinions and beliefs. Is it possible to disagree with someone without resorting to name-calling? I may not agree with his choice to support a specific candidate, but I respect his right to do so. What a boring world this would be if we all thought the same way. Whatever happened to respect and decorum? By the way, for those who believe the founding fathers were secularists, you are incorrect. The founding fathers wanted to create a country where everyone could practice their personal beliefs as they wished, without government interfence; but that doesn't mean they were secularists. In fact, the vast majority had very strong religious beliefs. This is why so much of the verbiage in the documents they authored have religious references ("In God we trust," "under God," etc.).

I PITY THE FOOL WHO DON'T VOTE THE WAY MR. T SAY TO!

I hope that Americans aren't blind enough to vote another Republican into office. Remember to vote with your brain, not with your beliefs.

Keep "God" out of politics.

I hope that you win, And you will be the best VP to ever be in office. Maybe Travete can come help to , maybe not but it would be just like Walker Texas Ranger, which is my all-time favorite series…. Go Chuck Norris

PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS IS FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! WHAT A JOKE!!!

Chuck Norris must fight Jack Bauer and the winner gets to say who should be President.

Who cares who this has been picks?

CNN has just lost what little credibility it had.

EMAIL I JUST SENT TO CHUCKIE's FANSITE

"HOWEVER…

You show me where ANY Framer of our Constitution said something like this, "Norris added. “He doesn't abandon his values for what's expedient. Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”

& I'll give you a millon fucin' dollars…Thinking like this is exactly what is wrong with most Americans; most simply do not understand why or how our nation was formed the way it was…

In fact,
Let me set the record straight about HOW THE FRAMERS STOOD FOR SECULARISIM & the United States….

John Adams:
The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature; and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history. Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses.
– John Adams, "A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America" (1787-88), from Adrienne Koch, ed., The American Enlightenment: The Shaping of the American Experiment and a Free Society (1965) p. 258, quoted from Ed and Michael Buckner, "Quotations that Support the Separation of State and Church"

Jefferson:

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State."

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Danbury Baptist Association, CT., Jan. 1, 1802

Treaty of Tripoli Stating that the US is not and was not founded as a "christian nation" Passed unanimously, with many in the Seante who were founders of the US…

"As the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen [Muslims] … it is declared … that no pretext arising from religious opinion shall ever product an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries….
"The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation."
— Treaty of Tripoli (1797), carried unanimously by the Senate and signed into law by John Adams (the original language is by Joel Barlow, US Consul)

Need I show you more???

Please, get with it Chuck & pass this snippit of info to all of you Kool-Aid drinking buddies…

Now go karate chop someone…

Mike Beringer

What is really sad here is that most people that will read this do not have the mental capacity to listen to sound rational thinking like this. the proof of this is that there is a democratic party at all. if you all listened there would be no need for one. to be ignorant, defiante, and stubborn to the point of stupidity is to be democrate. that is really to bad for our country… Keep tryin Chuck maybe some day they will get it…

After reading these responses one can see why we are the silent majority. He who makes the loudest noise is rarely the most intelligent. Our founding fathers wanted God and religion in our system of government. They just didn't want the government to force one particular religion on the people. Why do people today think this means they intended the US to be an athiest nation? That couldn't be farther from the truth. Chuck, don't let some of these posted comments bother you, more of us agree with you than you realize.

I cant believe the moron above who stated that because "In god we trust" is on our money thinks that means the founding fathers were a bunch of faith heads. Most of them were deists, and firmly believed in the seperation of church and state. In god we trust wasnt put onto the currency until long after the founding fathers drafted the constitution. Do your homework moron!

…Hillary and Barack have both dropped out and are now futilely fleeing for their lives!

How did "secular" become such a bad word in America? What's wrong with secularism? Shouldn't that be the hallmark of an advanced democracy? Maybe it's time to call "conservative" a bad word. To me it falls in the same category as fundamentalist, radical, fanatic, xenophobic, extremist… etc etc.

Do we, the general public, really care who Chuck Norris endorses?

Securalist don't kill people- religious zealots do. Putting another revelation based religious person in the White House will just result in the same we have had over the past 8 years. Embrace peace become a deist- reason, logic, and yes securalism will progress us forward.

Chuck who ?
– Bruce Lee – Way of the Dragon

After the debate last night, I think Chuck is right. It may well be that Republicans now have the person they have been waiting for. Mike Huckabee is probably the one that will be in the White House. Thank God Finally.

Sounds like a Winner guys. Ron Paul is just not the one and neither Giuliani nor Thompson. I think this is it. He will definitely win over Hillary in 08.

Go Huckabee!!!!

The vast majority of Americans at the time the Constitution was written were indeed Christians and also were white Protestants.
But we are not politically or legally a white Protestant nation. Not a word of our Constitution would have to be changed if 90% of our population was Asian or Catholic or Muslim or just about anything else the human condition might produce.
We have a secular Constitution written for the ages and all people, not one written for one religious group or another.
For the good of both individual freedom and religious freedom, let's keep religion out of politics.

Chuck Norris once ran for president. His opponent received 299,999,999 votes. Chuck received only one vote – his own. AND HE WON!

~~Who is getting David Carradine's vote? If Bruce Lee were alive, who would get his? Our family cat can't decide between Clinton, Obama, or Biden. Is this helpful to anyone? No?~~

And to top it off, Chuck's films are a joke too!

This is amazing. At first, I thought I was the only one who supported Hugo Chavez. Now Ann Coulter is backing him. Last Sunday, Fidel Castro said that he thought Hugo Chavez might have a chance to win the Republican nomination. It's not over until it's over. I hope Ehud Olmert will remember this.

No one cares or should care what he has to say. SHEEEEESH! Wake up people.

~~Who is getting David Carradine's vote? Also, if Bruce Lee were alive, who would get his? Our cat is trying to decide between Clinton, Obama, or Biden. Is this helpful to anyone? No?~~

Chuck Norris Hearts Huckabee!

"Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”

EXACTLY what is wrong with moronic christian-conservative voters…

You show me where ANY Framer said this and I'll give a mint worth the cash…

Shut up and go karate kick someone chuck…

Who really cares what star endorses who. It is really a bad idea for a star to endorse a candidate. Why..because a lot of the American people can't associate the rolls these "stars" play with reality. For ex…If Paris Hilton endorsed Rudy, he's finished. Would you believe what an air head had to say?

Why would knowing who Chuck Norris endorses mean anything. No wonder I don't like Chuck Norris he's a backwards thinker and a bad actor.

Sorry Chuck, for any Republican to have a chance at election Rudy will have to be his running mate. Huckabee will not have a pro-life running mate, so his chances are slimmer than you winning an Oscar.

The framers were deists. It is time we stopped kowtowing to people who think that their interpretation of "God" means to ignore environmental disasters that are threatening our children's future.

A separation of church and state preserves our democracy. Ben Frankin and Thomas Jefferson are spinning like dervishes in their graves.

Article 11 from the Treaty of Tripoli:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." 1797

I'm a woman voter and it's about time and I've waited for my entire life and only a woman can understand why that rta of an ex-husband went running with with that blond bimbo and my soap opera yesterday had a doctor that looked just like Bill, so I think I'll vote for Hillary. I have no idea of what she stands for, but she is a woman and so of course understands my concern….blah, blah, blah. Sally, you are a cow.

To bad for chuck, our Founding Fathers were secular and intented for America to be secular.

Clearly he has not read the Constituion, or else he would know that.

I used to be a fan of this guy, until he turned out to be a religious nutjob. The United State is in no way shape or form a govt based on the bible (thankfully). We are a SECULAR society (seperation of church and state). We only put god on our pledge and paper money during 1950s, when there was extreme anti-communist fervor. Chuck, go get an education.

I agree that this is non-news, as I don't particularly care which celebrities endorse which candidates. But it is amusing to read these "Oh my God, a celebrity endorsed a republican" posts!

I can't wait until 2008, to see Hillary pretending to believe in God, capitalism, and the Constitution! That should really freak out the liberals!

Chuck Norris can't pick a decent toupee never mind a President. Who does he think he is fooling with that rug on his head. Norris is a moron.

Hey Chuck, are you thinking what I'm thinking? RUNNING MATE!! The current fundamentalist nutjob-in-residence has his hitman, now Huckabee has his! Then all he needs is a white cat to pet and lots of plasma monitors around his desk, and maybe a huge friggin' laser to point at the evil secularists.

"It saddens me to think that all of you so called "intellectual" folk on here thinks that the constitutions calls for a separation of church and state. Tell me where at in the writings that this is stated. It was a liberal slanted supreme court that made that phrase up."

Will you PLEASE stop trying to force, and/or market your religious beliefs onto others. And secondly, stop assuming someone is liberal, as opposed to conservative, based upon their adherence to, or lack of religious belief. I will not stand for being dictated to in a theocracy. Keep the mythology home!!

Norris is a nutjob unto himself. "Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”

Excuse me? Not once is "GOD" mentioned in the Constitution. And you know why? Its to protect people who don't share the same religious beliefs from people like him and Huckabee and all the other radical, fundamentalist, evangelical afflicted individuals.

Our Founding Fathers cannot even be compared to Huckabee. Though they had their issues, namely inequalities and slavery, there was the foundation of hope that was laid so no one could be beaten down for having an opposing belief system.

To top it all off, he says, "he does not cower to the cries of any majority or minority,' Norris added. 'He doesn't abandon his values for what's expedient."

Doesn't abandon his values… excuse me if he were President he would need to consider the needs, etc. of every American. Otherwise, the government shouldn't get an iota of my tax money. Opt me out of the travesty that has already been inflicted upon the world and us by our own government.

Huckabee or another Republican I think not.

If Chuck had his way, he would unwrite what has been written and we would be ruled under the thumb a Radical, Fundamentalist, Evangelical Christian Tyrant.

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Hmmm….Who's David Hasselhoff supporting?

At least I now have one candidate I can put in my list of people definitely not to vote for. Chuck Norris is, and always has been, an idiot.
I'm sorry that Mr. Huckabee is the victim of this random endorsement. He may have been a good president, but alas, we'll never know.

Our founding fathers wisely created a secular nation, requiring that church and state remain separate and apart. Our founding fathers, also for the most part, were "Deists" and thus opposed to organized religion. Injecting religion into our government is contrary and inimical to the United States Constitution.

To the person commenting on Obama not having as much experience as Huckabee…

I was only comparing Obama to Hillary and Edwards when I speak of his actual legislative experience.

However, when it comes down to overall real world experience, I'd take Obama over any of the republicans, period. He was a community organizer on the southside of Chicago, he spent years walking the streets on behalf of the poor. You simply cannot compare that kind of experience to anything else. He's a guy that's in touch with the realities of this nation on the ground.

Imagine, the first community organizer president, who understands this country on a neighborhood level. How amazing is that gonna be?

I am always stunned by self-described Christians who either say our government and their church are or should be tied together.

The reason we have separation of church and state had MORE to do with the founding fathers attempts to protect the church than with protecting the government. They knew what had happened to the Church of England when the Crown stepped in.

If you'd like your church to be run by the government, please continue to press for the two to become one.

If no-longer relevant actors with websites devoted to facts about them are going to endorse candidates, let's open the floodgates! What does Dan Ackroyd think? How about Richard Dreyfuss (http://dreyfuss.audienceoftwo.com)?

Who is Chuck Norris? Wasn't he a Country Western star in the 70's?

Superstitious men are dominated by the fanatic and become one and now we have wisdow from a "B" movie actor, turned exercise guru dispensing mindless drivel.

Some histroy for you, clown: "If we did a good act merely from love of God and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist? …Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than the love of God." -Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Thomas Law, June 13, 1814

Its called rationalism. Try it.

The problem with the right wing in toto seems to be stupid statements like this from Norris – "Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”.

I thought our founding fathers stood up for the protection of all beliefs be they those who believe in a creator and those who do not. The right wing seems hell bent on taking away the rights of the non-christian born again citizens to live as they choose and believe. That is not going to happen if the educated citizens get out and vote against this extremism.

Who are we to question the will of Chuck Norris? I heard that the last digit of pi is Chuck Norris. He is the end of all things.

// Judo + Aikido for Dodd here.

How is this news?!? Come on CNN!!!

Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship.

The fact is that our nation was, is , and always shall be founded upon Judeo-Christian beliefs. While our nation has gradually embraced secularism, this was not always the norm. While some of our founding fathers were deists, almost all embraced the basic tenets of Christianity and acknowledged the fact that where Christianity spread, life in general was better. Chuck Norris is right. Mike Huckabee is the only one who can truly lead this nation in the way that the Founders intended it to be led.

Brian Jones

Well done, Chuck.

Sorry, Elliot, but you are the one in error. The foundations of our political system are the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, and the Constitution, mostly written by James Madison

Jefferson was at best a Deist and possibly an agnostic. Remember that in his later years, he rewrote the New Testament to exclude the miracles. Madison was a secularist who, like Jefferson, strongly believed in separation of Church and State.

But if think you are right, then why isn't there one word about Christianity in the Constitution. Amazing that our "Christian" founders neglected to mention what you think is the foundation of our political and legal system.

Chuck might be able to kick some butt but "Chuck is a nut". It is possible that he has been kicked one too many times for his own good. I have seen his infomercials advocating mandatory prayer in school so I seriously doubt that this guy has read the constitution. Chuck is a nut!

too bad Bruce Lee isn't around any more to tell us who he'd vote for for president…maybe CNN should ask Kareem Abdul Jabar

"Why is this news?" "No one cares." Blah blah blah. If it wasn't news and if it didn't engender interest, then why have so many people not only read the article, but also taken the time to comment on it?

It also appears that the moderator fell asleep at the switch. There is WAY too much verbal diarrhea blathering about why Obama is better than Clinton. The story was about "The Deadliest Man in the World–Ever" throwing his support (and his kung fu grip) behind Huckabee, not about how Obama is slightly less slimy than Hillary. Stay on point, people, and keep the pandering on your own blogs.

Chuck, needs to stick to selling gym equipment and campaign to end bad hair pieces. Maybe Bill Shatner can give him a referral.

The families of those slain after your candidate allowed convicted rapist Wayne Dumond escape with hisgraces thanks you for this endorsement.

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried!

Chuck Norris counted to infinity – TWICE!

The Almighty Chuck Norris just lost his "cool" factor. Bummer.

What a freakin' joke, no acting skills (except to kick), Get a real job Chuck, go endorse the other looney bin, Pat Robertson! Who is Chuck Norris anyway? CNN, you can do better!

Huckle, chuckle

That puts things in focus for me, Chuck… I will be voting for Ron Paul–wisdom, intellect, and honesty. His voting record spanning 30 years is 2nd to no one with regards to limiting government authority to it's Constitutional boundaries.

HAAAAAAA!!!! Take that you Clinton News Network lib-dweebs!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Chuck Norris RULES

Ok? so what's the news here?

It's incredible how all of you "smart, politically savy" CNN.com readers still turn to the ticker for your "news". I read several articles every day, and it seems that this is the kind of article that goes on the ticker. It involves politics. Watch, in a few days Rozanne and other 90s TV stars will make their picks, and we can look on here.

Save your debates on religion for the "Anti-God" or "Anti-Everybody Else" clubs that you're in. Chuck Norris is obviously a believer. He made his decision based on his belief. And above all, he wasn't afraid to let everyone know that he wants a strong believer in the White House. Good for you Chuck.

Everyone has their right to choose their religion (or no religion at all). Those of you that are scared of the Christian-Right have nothing to worry about. You can keep wearing towels on your head and sacrificing goats. There are check-and-balances that will let you worship animals and hug trees until the cows come home. And, you can always write about it right here on the Ticker. CNN, I appreciate the ticker. Very entertaining. Keep them coming.

Why would anyone be interested in what Chuck has to say?
Is this just extended PR for a new book, video, or info-mercial product he's endorsing?

Having met him yes he's a good guy,
but I'm no more interested in his opinions than I am my ex-wife's.

I always think that martial artists generally do not have a good brain to make good judgement or choice, which could have been caused by being hit too many times in the head.

IN 1957 "IN GOD WE TRUST" WAS PRINTED ON PAPER MONEY. IN 1938 IT WAS ON COINS DUE TO THE SENTIMENT FROM THE CIVIL WAR. UNLIKE THE GENTLEMAN'S COMMENT FROM NAPLES, I AM NOT IGNORANT JUST BECAUSE I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU AND YOUR MEAN SPIRIT.

Why do these people conveniently forget that this country was based on separation of church and state? Christianity and our government have nothing – NOTHING to do with one another, and that is the way it should be. These smug cretins obviously missed their history lessons in school.

A washed up, third-rate actor says who he'll vote for, and that's news? Gimme a break.

Chuck Norris is a popular movie and television actor and a well-known martial artist. These are all in addition to his conservative views and commentary. He like anyone else has the right to state an opinion. I believe Mr. Norris' support will help Gov. Huckabee's campaign, but he'll still be hard- pressed to gain ground for the republican nomination.

Norris I must say that you are a num nut, not a num chuck. You are part of the problem because under the constitution we have the right to believe in a creator or not believe in a creator. This means, for all you num nuts that don't understand it, that everyone under our Constitution can believe in a creator or not believe in a creator, and it is the absolute responsibility for all of our leaders to protect everyone's rights; Not just you scared inhibited religious zealots rights. Houdini 10-22-2007

Adapting to the environment is a result of evolution, they are not two different things. Commence talk on how it's a "theory" not a scientific fact.

I wonder who Chuck's wig is endorsing this year….

Huckabee will not get the coveted 18-24 ninga voting group, now that Chuck Norris is supporting him!

Matt, you are about 110 years off there, man. IN GOD WE TRUST was added to US money during the Civil War. You must get your facts from pundits.
I kinda agree with you, but knock off the idiotic name-calling. Voting for the other side doesn't make you a fool or a knave.
Ed,we're about evenly split down here in Georgia, but the voting machines are 100% pro-Bush.

And what makes this actor (and someone who hasn't done much may I add or someone who's been political) to decide who'll win. That and he picked a very unlikely candidate.

1. Ron Paul doesn't go the gym. He stays fit by exercising his civil rights.
2. Ron Paul delivers babies without his hands. He simply reads them the Bill of Rights and they crawl out in anticipation of freedom.
3. Ron Paul doesn't cut taxes. He kills them with his bare hands.
4. Jesus wears a wrist band that says "What Would Ron Paul Do?"
5. When Ron Paul takes a shower, he doesn't get wet…the water gets Ron Paul.
6. Ron Paul could lead a horse to water AND convince it to drink, but he doesn't believe the government has the right to so he refuses.
7. Ron Paul's midi-chlorian level is off the chart.
8. When Chuck Norris gets scared, he goes to Ron Paul.
9. Studies by the World Health Organization show that Ron Paul is the leading cause of freedom among men.
10. Ron Paul makes the U.S. dollar want to be a better currency.

This is amazing. At first, I thought I was the only one who supported Mike Huchabee. Now Chuck Norris is backing him. Last Sunday, Bill Clinton said that he thought Mike Huchabee might have a chance to win the Republican nomination. It's not over until it's over. I hope Rudy Giuliani will remember this.

I think this a direct indication that Chuck Norris has taken to many blows to the head. Only a TURD supports a TURD.

Perhaps the reason Chuck Norris is an actor and not a leader is because he thinks the role of a president is to stand up for the role of "the creator."

Sorry Chuck, but we're not going back to the forties just for you. And Chuck's Huckabee doesn't have a snowball's chance in he// of being nominated, let alone elected.

And they say the liberal Democrats are the Hollywood party….

Sorry liberals…..you're wrong (as usual). Our wonderful country was founded by Christian people with a Christian world view…not secular. Do your homework. Research the men who signed the Decleration. Many were ministers or at least very up front about their Biblical beliefs. Don't scream "foul". Go to the library…or Google it….

i dont understand the person under me. just because mike huckabee is a strong man of faith doesnt mean he will rule from the pullpit. i simply dont understand this concept of how people draw a connection between a man proclaiming to believe in God and a government in tune with the spanish inquisition. the founding fathers may have wanted a secular state, but that didnt stop THEM from holding prayer services in congress or stop george washington from asking for a national day of prayer. they were smart enough to believe in God but not force everyone else to do the same. they lead by example not by the sword. quit being such a religion bigot.

So Norris is against "Secular" beliefs? Sounds like he's been roundhouse kicked one too many times.

Chuck Norris picks Prez Candidate

Do I care? No. Is this really important news as to what the Hollywoodville stars think and choose? No. Does this make an impact on today's issues? No

So why bother? Because someone got paid to write that article. DUMB!

Oh, I've been sitting here just waiting for Chuck Norris' endorsement! Why is this news? Unfortunately there are actually people in this country who will do no research of their own, and vote for Huckabee based solely on Mr. Norris' endorsement. Sad.

"WAY TO GO, CHUCK! WE'RE WITH YOU…CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, NOT ALL GEORGIANS ARE DEMOCRATS!"

Yeah, only the smart ones are!

Anyone who doesn't "believe in" evolution is an anti-science nutjob.

As for Chuck and his endorsement, I could care less. I need the answers to the following from the enlightened.

Is what Darwin observed actually evolution or adaptation of a species to its environment?

Why haven't dogs developed an opposing thumb? Sure would make it easier to get in the refrigerator at night or to dig up those old buried bones (they could use a shovel!). I thnk they've had time to accomplish this, or did they become monkeys who later became humans?

Which race is superior? Obviously our evolution is progression, so there must be some disparity between blacks, latinos, caucasians. Or, in a cruel twist of fate, did we all co-evolve at different places to have the same DNA. Or, had we evolved to our present form prior to Pangea splitting up, and then just adapted to our environments?

"Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs"

What a moron! Heaven forbid these religous nutballs pick up a history book. My question would be, how did these idiots pass a University history class, or even a high school history class and still spout this abriged version of history? Norris looks like the missing link and apparently he has the intelligence to match!

I'm with you 100% Chuck! Mike is the man! Huckabee '08!

Senator Huckabee has publicly stated that he is not a believer in the theory of evolution despite it's wide acceptance in the science community. While he is certainly entitled to his beliefs, it is disconcerting that important decisions would be made based on gut, instinct, or personal conviction instead of deductive reasoning.

Aha! This information regarding Chuck Norris came to light just in time! I was just about to purchase a Total Gym. 1. Since Norris is Republican, and 2. He is endorsing Huckabee,are two reasons why I'm rejecting the claims of endorsement for Total Gym, entirely.

So which is it, the 1860's or the 1950's? Just goes to show how ignorant Democrats are……………

Everyone keeps asking 'why is this news?' Hey, the news is that Chuck Norris slept through American History before dropping out of junior highschool. Our Founding Fathers had to fight the Church of England TWICE to keep this country, Chuck, and that's why it's always been called a 'free country:' we have no official church. Man, read a book. Start with your eighth grade civics textbook.

I don't pay heed to political advice from a man wearing a necklace a wig. He apparently thinks the wig makes him look younger or…something.

To TP in VA,

"In God We Trust" was added to our money in the 1950s as was the phrase "under God" in the pledge. They were added to combat supposed secular communism. Please check your history before making yourself look foolish.

Chuck Norris wears a toupee and dyes his facial hair. What is real?

Um, why is this news, and why should I care who Walker Texas Ranger has selected?

Posted By Gene : October 22, 2007 12:13 pm

Because Gene…as CNN obviously knows, but so cleverly hides behind a "news story", Chuck Bore Us represents a huge population of hateful, righteous, egomaniacal, idiot red-necks who will vote Nascar and are incredibly afraid of a woman or black man becoming president. Believe me, I know. My brother is one of them, and he is scared, really scared of either of those options, and just about as terrified of Guiliani, because he's from Sodom, I mean NY.

Well now all the little guys with Napolean complex know who to vote for. Do yourselves a favor and just get a muscle car or Hummer instead!

CNN,

Please provide valuable news on your website, not tabloid journalism. This is crap, and you know it. You are part of the problem.

Thanks,
Eric

You picked Bush the last time and looked how that turned out.
Stick to what you know ACTING.

It not about kicking butt Chuck its about seeing other people count too.
Not just Americal. This country is in battle fatigue and the Republicans have no credability now. We need a president who can uplift the nation. If Iran presents itself as a true enemy the United States had better think real hard before attacking. Russia is no chump.

The current president can barely make sense when he speaks, and if that is a sign of more things to come, build a bomb shelter now.

Yes Chuck John Wayne is DEAD.

Actually, Aaron, it was Thomas Jefferson who used the term "separation of Church and State" to describe our Constitution's prohibition of any establishment of religion.
The rest of your statement is preposterous. You think we won wars because God was on our side? Hey, maybe He was really on the side of the secularist French during the Revolutionary War and WWI and on the side of the Communist Russians in WWII. After all, they won too when we won. And why did we not win in Korea. Did we become nonreligious in the 5 years between WWII and the Korean War?

Are we really that desperate for news.. this hardly seems "CNN worthy".. Who really cares who celebrities vote for? When it comes down to voting, we are all the same, and I doubt his political interests would sway any undecided voters one way or another.

To the person who says Obama has more experience than anyone running, You're wrong. Mike Huckabee was governor of Arkansas for 10 years and had done wonders to get the state to a better place than it was under the Clintons. Huck is right about a lot of things and He does make a better candidate than most. I for one would not want to see Hilary win the White House because she would surrender to Al Qaida. Anyone on the left who doesn't believe in the war or want to criticize the war ought to look what will happen if we didn't fight Al Qaida. They would have hit us again and again and again and with the Clintons in charge they did nothing about it when The World Trade center was hit the first time in 1993. The left also forget that Al Qaida loves it when people protest the war and not back our troops, as it only adds to their propoganda. The terrorists want the Dems to win because they know the Dems won't fight back when we're attacked. AT least Bush did something about the terrorism problem and I'm glad he did!

All I can say is "Thank you, Chuck Norris!" Now maybe Huckabee will begin getting the attention he so duly deserves as he campaigns as the only tried and true Republican in the race.

Chuck has that part about the founding fathers a bit confused. While they did acknowlege a creator, that was about as far as they took it. Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Washington were all deists. And then . . . they left god entirely out of the Constitution. Ours, thank Jupiter, IS a secular government. Chuck should do his homework.

One more reason to avoid Chuck Norris movies & television shows.

To Aaron:
"The phrase separation of church and state is generally traced to a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the Danbury Baptists, in which he referred to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution as creating a "wall of separation" between church and state."
Last I checked, Thomas Jefferson was a founding father, not a member of a liberal slanted Supreme Court.

WAY TO GO, CHUCK! WE'RE WITH YOU…CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, NOT ALL GEORGIANS ARE DEMOCRATS!

S. BROWN, COLUMBUS, GA

Aaron fro Indiana…dude you are truly stupid, and that is as nice as I can say it.

In Chuck Norris' next martial-arts movie, BEYOND STUPID, he will stand up for his creator against secular beliefs! Discovering that potatoes are not mentioned in the Bible, Chuck (and his new sidekick Huck) fight desperately against the evil atheist potato farmers infesting America's farmland while God hides, unable to defend Himself. Later God, played by Colin Powell, has a beer with Chuck and Huck and thanks them for coming to His aid in His hour of need.

To writer in Virginia — "In God We Trust" not put on currency till Civil War era. Nothing to do with founders.

And another thing, another person posting here mentioned that we have "In God we trust" on our money thanks to the founding fathers. This just goes to show how ignorant the religious right is about our country and its history. "In God we trust" was put on our general currency in the 1950's!!! It is not some hallowed American tradition! We put it on our money because we had to prove how Godly we were compared to Athiestic Communism. It's the EXACT same story with the pledge of alegiance. It did NOT have "under god" inserted into it until the 1950's. Would all the religious crazies please go read a history book instead of listening to pundits to get their facts!

LOL listening and reading to all the jelious ron paul nutjobs is really funny.

Chuck Norris will be the first of many celebrities to support Mike Huckabee IMHO

Hey Chuck… why don't you leave politics alone and go rescue a small country from the "clutches of evil".

CNN is so biased. We also need a ninja's and a pirate's presidential picks to make a truly fair and balanced assessment of the situation. You can't play paper-rock-scissors without the paper and scissors. You can't have Chuck Norris without ninjas and pirates.

Who gives a rat's a** what Chuckles thinks, anyway?

As we used to say in NYC: That, and a dollar, will get you on the train…

The founding fathers were, for the most part, secularist, and the Constitution certainly is. Take note not only of the 1st Amendment but the clause prohibiting any religious oath or affirmation.
Our social contract is clear: worship any deity you like without infringing on the rights of others to worship or not worship as they please, and keep theology out of government.
Huckabee may be a nice guy and he has some decent ideas, but he also seems to be a theocrat. That makes him unfit for office.

Who cares? Why is CNN wasting resources on this non-story?

Ok, while I'm not sure I agree with Chuck Norris' bluntly put views, I agree with him that Mike Huckabee is the best man for the GOP.

Also-if you disagree with this, be aware that Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

Dear Mr. Norris:

Should we vote for Huckabee before or after we get a Total Gym?

Thanks for the recommendation–it means *so much* to know whom you're endorsing. You're a great American.

Does anyone know whom Ralph Macchio is voting for? Moving outside of the realm of "martial arts," which Chuck Norris really knows nothing about, how about Lark Voorhies? Corey Feldman? Whom are *they* voting for?

DO WE HAVE TO KEEP SAYING THIS?????…..THE FIRST AMENDMENT NOT ONLY GUARANTEES US "FREEDOM OF RELIGION" IT ALSO GUARANTEES "FREEDOM FROM RELIGION." CHRISTIANS LEFT EUROPE NOT BECAUSE OF GOVERNMENT INTERFERING WITH RELIGION, BUT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WAS BEING DOMINATED BY ONE BRAND OF RELIGION THAT WANTED TO LEGISLATE THEIR BELIEFS ON EVERYONE ELSE. DID YOU HEAR THAT CONSERVATIVES. LEARN FROM HISTORY, PLEASE!

How could I have lived without knowing who Chuck Norris was going to support, is beyond me.

It saddens me to think that all of you so called "intellectual" folk on here thinks that the constitutions calls for a separation of church and state. Tell me where at in the writings that this is stated. It was a liberal slanted supreme court that made that phrase up. The constitution says that no state will sponser a church. Big difference there. Also about God not being on the side of a Christian U.S. Didn't we win pretty much every war when this nation had Christian values? Ever since God was taken out of public, abortion being legalized, etc, we have lost every one.

…and why is this news?

Well I guess it's no contest now! Chuck has spoken. I am sure the world has waited with baited breath for him to announce his choice.

Dudes, I saw an ostrich kick Chuck Norris' as* of TV. I can't support the ideas of anyone that can't kick ostrich A*s!!

Why oh why I am reading about Chuck Norris' picks for the Republican 08 candidate? Does writing a column for WingNutDaily qualify you for CNN coverage?

His statement about our founding fathers show an extreme lack of information on Chuck's part.

Kid Rock could take him, if the fight was held in a Waffle House. Sounds as if Norris is feebleminded. I think I saw that show once – it was about a cop who could kickbox bullets. Obviously he doesn't have much grip on reality.

His neo con values must be new. His TV show had a lot of violence.

Chuck Norris will beat down those secularists…right after he beats down jesus.

I feel bad for the guy that thinks our world has gone to shambles because of a lack of religion. First of all being an atheist does not mean you have no morals. In actual fact, I'll go out on a limb and say that atheists have higher morals because they tend to accept all kinds of people whereas the devoutly religious tend to exclude people they don't think are religious enough. Secondly, the problems the Western world has, has nothing to do with a lack of religion. He has more to do with a lack of funding for education and social services. The fact that the rich and big business control everything. That's why I will never understand the religious voter. The elite and the rich love the religious voter and use them to get elected even though they couldn't less any less religious. If you think that gay marriage and abortion are more important issues than education and health care then you need your head examined. Religion poisons everything.

Why does CNN give this any space? First of all, Chuck Norris is a had-been just trying to get his face in the news. But most importantly, should be support a candidate because some quasi-celebrity endorses them? NO!! I find these endorsements (and things like Colbert entering the race) all just stupidity that makes the election process look like a game. People, we need to get serious about who we elect!! Look what happened when we voted in the gregarious George W… disaster!! We need to look for serious intelligent candidates who have a clue about what's going on and how to deal with it!

How on earth is this news?

What's he going to do, karate chop all the turrrists?

Hilarious.

I'm not quite sure why ANYONE cares about who Chuck Norris is voting for. This is newsworthy?

Thanks Chuck for knocking off another religious whacko! You couldn't have detroyed him any worse. Hit Romney next,would you? We can save America by only having socially liberal choices next year.

Excellent, now I can add Chuck Norris to the list of morons that understand NOTHING about US history and our founding fathers, ("Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs") It frightens me that so many in the religious right are trying to rewrite our history and make the Founding Fathers something that they absolutely were not in a futile attempt to justify why we should be a Christian theocracy.

Anyone who selects a candidate based on the opinion of a celebrity should not be allowed to vote. And in this case, it's a D-list "celebrity" who (sorry, Chuck, but it's true) couldn't act his way out of a karate robe.

Chuck, how about sticking to martial arts and exercise equipment. The founding fathers were secularists, maybe you should read the constitution or Jefferson's Virgina statute on religious freedom. The founding fathers would not have supported a Christian state. Huck doesnt even believe in evolution, which speaks to his mentality and dogmatic christain belief system. After the last 7 years of Bush and his christian right friends, we need someone, whether democrat or republican, who respects the concept of secularism.

chuck Norris, you are the weakest link! Good-bye!

Who in the heck cares what "Chuck Norris" thinks????? If he is really backing a candidate other then Obama, Hillary, Ron Paul or Edwards then you have real medical issues. It is not about voting repub or democr any more, it all comes down to good ole common sense!

That's nice…He needs all the help he can get.

I heard Fred Flintstone is endorsing Chris Dodd

If Chuck Norris's support gives Huckabee any extra votes from new teenage voters, I'll go crazy. Should the public care about what celebrities, especially quasi-famous ones, think?

Thanks for the laugh! Please no offense to Chuck Norris, but when the first picture you see on CNN's Political Ticker is another "Hollywood endorsement " photo, you have to think about our narcissistic, celebrity-driven culture and how maybe it's not what we want our children to emulate.

When are all Americans going to learn the US is NOTa theocracy?! All this God talk for the election is not contributing to people of differing faiths getting along. We don't want a Taliban-like poltical system here in the US. Period.

Good candidate! I like Huckabee, he answered the questions and did not do a song and dance like the rest of them. He's new blood and not the same old stale garden type Washington DC bureaucrat. Rudy only knows New York, Romney is all flash and dash. McCain is past his prime but he’s not afraid. Thompson to slow. The heck with the other 3 .

What has happened to this country in that the idea that the founding fathers were not secular has become canon? The drafters of the constitution made a secular document, for a secular government. There is nothing wrong with that…

Secular only means without religion. The government can be run "without religion". Why has this country become so backwards?

Mike Huckabee is my man. Finally, someone who stands up with and for our values. As a Democrat, I have always voted for what is best for America and the world. Mike shines like a distant star waiting to lead us back to glory.
He has got my vote.

Yeah right, give Chuck Norris an opinion we all can stand behind and try to come out of his dead career? Chuck Norris would not know common sense if it came up and kicked him in the head! Go back to the ranch and reflect you idiot!

I have followed the political career of Mike Huckabee for years. He has proven to be a very practical, candid, and well spoken leader. He shows tolerance in listen to opposing viewpoints. Huckabee has worked with all political parties in Arkansas to get things accomplished. It was refreshing to see things getting done instead of the usual partisan bickering. Like Obama, Huckabee is a refreshing alternative; however instead of leaning left of center, he leans to the right.

Great… so one religious whacko picks another religious whacko for president. WHO CARES?!

Looking at all these negative remarks, it looks like Chuck has a nice list of people to track down and beat up. Best of luck to you when Chuck knocks on your door.

i think norris should spend his time choosing a better hairpiece …

CHUCK for HUCK!

Don't like it? How 'bout a round-house kick to face?

Thanks, CNN. I feel dumber for having read this. How does this even pass for "news"?

Chuck Norris and i should care what he thinks????????? Don't you see this is why we "the Greatest Country In ThE World "Has had a smuck like Bush they keep us distracted from the real issuss with KIND OF CRAP. Besides He Would back a bo-flex for a Buck. Not to mention i'm waiting to see who Britney backs.

Good for you Mr. Norris.

While I don't support Huckabee…his open borders amnesty/reward illegal aliens position, I am delighted the way your announcement ferreted out the fringe lunitics.

Read the comments…largely irrational, immature, and uptight folks who have themselves in knots because you do not agree w/ their personal choice. Their taking the time and effort to showcase their being close minded and bitter by attacking you clearly affirms the influence you do have.

Good grief…what a group of acerbic, shallow souls.

The comments from the readers of this article show how hate filled the left is toward opinions of anyone agreeing with the right. This is why they are no longer viewed as the party of inclusiveness, the party for the working woman or man, or the party that wants to protect the country. Thank you Chuck Norris. While Huckabee isn't my candidate of choice I find him very suitable for the Office of President.

Chuck Norris' candiate? Let me check to see if anyone cares…
I checked and they don't.

Who cares?

Funny that the conservatives are usually the first ones to cry when celebrities endorse candidates or back political causes. I guess this exception is okay.

Exactly why is this newsworthy? Anothing shining example of why the MSM is so over.

WOW, Chuckie had input and we really care what he thinks? Stick to your movies from back in the 70's. What a waste of a news story CNN, cover the real things, more important things from death of soldiers in the false war to the oil prices to the dangers of dick chaney, not this garbage about chuckie norris.

Wow! Chuck Norris picks his person for the next President. Now I can sleep at night.

Chuck Norris has always struck me as a nice guy who, unfortunately, is a terrible actor when not doing the high-kicking stuff.
Now we can also note he is utterly ignorant of the Constitution and its very secularist authors.

I believe Hillary Clinton is the best candidate, not because she is likable, but because she has the fairest ideas with a chance of succeeding. I must admit that Mr. Huckabee is appealing to someone like me who uses common sense instead of blind loyalty to any party rhetoric. His courage in showing up at an ethnic sponsored debate speaks well for his character, while most of his colleagues hid their heads in the sand; however, America cannot afford another republican in the highest office at this time. It would seem that the whole Clinton/Obama team is a pipe dream. A visionary can unite this country by choosing a running mate who is as qualified as Mr. Huckabee, or General Powel based on their desire to serve all of America, instead of just pandering to negative special interest groups and their divisive politics as usual. Perhaps it is time for Americans to send a message to both parties and demand true American patriotism from our candidates. Those who would choose to attend meetings at places like Bob Jones University to prove their conservative credentials are not fit to serve the American people. A politician, who feels the need to spy on the average American citizen, yet refuses to turn over the names of corporate executives and powerful lobbyist whom they meet while shaping public policy is unfit to serve the American people. We need more men and women of courage like Mike Huckabee. We need citizens who stand up for all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or social status.

His opinion matters why? Maybe he should develop some acting skills before he becomes an actor with public opinions.

To SALLY in DeMoines Iowa, who above posted that she was undecided between Obama, Hillary and Edwards.

Go to barackobama.com and click on Barack TV to watch some of Obama's speeches. They'll tell you a great deal about the candidate.

When making your decision, keep in mind that Obama has more elected experience than Obama and Edwards combined, 8 years in IL Senate plus his time in U.S. Senate.

Also keep in mind that he turned down 700, that's right 700 corporate job offers out of college to take a 14 grand a year job working as a community organizer in Chicago, walking the streets to help out of work steel mill workers find new employment.

He also spoke out eloquently and vocally against the Iraq war back in 2002, when both Edwards and Mrs. Clinton were voting to give the President authority to go to war. Keep in mind, back in 2002 he was considering his Senate run and it was political suicide then to speak out against Bush, but he felt he had to discuss what he sincerely believed was right. He said, "I'm not against all wars, but I'm against a dumb war. This will be come a war of undeterminable expense and length, and it will become a civil war between Shia, Sunni and Kurds." At the same time, Bush joked when he heard the words "Sunnie and Shia", he said, "What's that? I thought they were all muslims over there."

Obama has a great knowledge of the world, having grown up part of the time abroad in Indonesia before moving back to Kansas with his mother. He has a wealth of experiences from traveling all around the world. His father was an immigrant from Kenya. All of this wealth of knowledge makes him an outstanding President that knows the ways and realities of the world.

He also is not taking federal lobby money, while Hillary is making it the basis of her financial campaign to do just that. Obama recognizes that lobbists are paying huge sums of money to politicians to curry favor and he's seen firsthand how the political process can be corrupted by this.

At the same time he doesn't take lobby money, Obama has OUT RAISED Hillary three out of four quarters by garnering more donations from individual contributors across the nation than any other candidate in history, mostly under 200 dollars. He is the first outside the establishment maverick candidate to do this, to be competitive with the establishment without taking corporate money.

If you didn't know the way lobbys and PACs work, what happens is that a corporation, like EXXON, will give all their executives the maximum 2300 dollars to contribute and then direct them to give it to Hillary Clinton or whatever candidate they endorse.

Of course this makes politicians beholden to their corporate donors.

For the first time in history, a politician is only beholden to the American people, as Obama is.

Obama also just two weeks ago spoke out against the vote in the Senate that declared Iran's army a terrorist group, an act that gives Bush the authority to wage undeclared war against Iran. Hillary Clinton, as she did with her 2002 vote on invading Iraq, voted two weeks ago to give Bush the same authority to now attack Iran.

In the 90's, Hillary made a health care proposal but did not consult key industry members, taking a complicated and arrogant approach, combined with a lack of communication skills on her part, that allowed her ideas to get trounced by the media.

Obama, on the other hand, has released a better plan that is available at barackobama.com. Not only does he have the communication skills to cross partisan divides and get his plan through, his own mother died of cancer while between jobs and without health care. As a result, he's made it a mission of his life to provide everyone with affordable healthcare.

Obama also has passed the first meaningful ethics reform in a generation and is known in the Senate as the "go to" guy when it comes to ethics. His recent bill that was passed is the reason that other candidates can no longer use corporate jets or recieve other corporate perks.

This fact about Obama, as well as so man others, seem to go unreported in the media.

Every vote in this coming election is crucial, especially where you're at in Iowa. I hope that I've managed to add some food for thought when it comes to making your decision.

Again, feel free to check out barackobama.com to see Obama's speeches and learn more about the issues and his stances on them.

One last thing, one something harder to quantify and identify, is the inspirational value difference between Obama and the other candidates.

I myself have never bothered to ge truly involved in politics before but Obama has brought this out in me. If he hadn't been running, I may have been as apathetic as usual but I am not and he's the only reason.

We need to be inspired in this country to accomplish the hard work to keep us on track and restore our place in the world. I have been to volunteer meetings in Nevada and California where there have been entire rooms full of people, 50 at a meeting, all of which have never, ever gone to such a meeting before. They've come out for Obama. They're knocking on doors for him. They're writing about him. They're talking about him.

If they can get us to put on our walking shoes and go out into the world to make a difference, think what Barack Obama can do to inspire this whole nation?

I'm excited at the prospect of it and I hope you soon will be too.

Best,

Lance

Obama 08!

Wow! THE Chuck Norris! I have a great plot for a Reality TV Show: Chuck Norris, Mr. T, Lou Gosset Jr, Dolph Lundgeron, Richard Greico and Don Johnson all hit the campaign trail for their favorite candidate only to find the public thinks their a joke and their political views/endorsements mean nothing to the American Voters. If any network wants to work with me, feel free to contact me!

The fact that this right wing tool can't see that this batch of candidates for the Republican nomination are all corporate criminals, biggots and liars, it shows you that he knows nothing. If he believes that the majority of American people are going to let another Neo-Con in the Oval Office, he is sadly mistaken.

after pain-stakingly watching bits and pieces of the republican "debates" i would have to agree w/chuck. huckabee's not only witty, but his wit makes a point. not just for wit's sake. and i agree w/most of his points.

Chuck Norris has about as much political clout as the fake hair piece he plops on his head. Does anyone really think he is a factor?

I'm holding out for Steven Seagal's pick in the 08 horserace.

I was kinda wondering what was going on with the presidential election, I mean it's not an Amercian election unless you get a whole bunch of celebrities with zero expertise or credibility to weigh on on your future.

So sad that this is even news.

It is obvious that he doesn't know the constitution and he doesn't know the Founding Fathers. Yet, he talks about it with embarrassing ignorance.

Bring your theocracy somewhere else, Chuck. You belong to the trash bin of history.

Gee I sure am glad I wasn't the co-star in the movie side kicks. If all voters were as opinionated and convoluted as our dear Tex Ranger here…we'd make history alright, by electing for the first time a president for a 3rd term. Get a grip Chucky ole boy…you don't make a for a top notch politcal advisor if you know what I mean. Stick with what you know and make another crappy movie that will just barely break the cost of production thresholds and leave American government to those who understand history and common sense.

Gee, I can't imagine why the Huckabee campaign chose not to comment.

The early '90's just called. They want their lame-assed martial arts guy back.

Chuck Norris gives his credibility a roundhouse kick in the face!

Anyone who doesn't "believe in" evolution is an anti-science nutjob. I hope Mike Huckabee doesn't count on flu shots since their development is based on the science of evolution.

Note that the three Republicans who stepped forward as those who didn't "believe in" evolution include Tancredo (<1% Republican support), Brownback (out) and Chuck Norris' boy. Oof!

Why are we curious as a country what Chuck Norris thinks about any political decision. If any multi-cellular organism is influenced by Chuck Norris's opinion in this presidential election they should be shot into space!

Not all religious people try to push their beliefs off on others…at least I don't.

GOD will judge each and everyone of US, even the NON-BELEIVERS!

Chuck, I guess your endorsement is about as poular as Oprah's.

I don't think the republicans or Huck has a chance unless YOU are willing to secretly give Huckabee millions of dollars.

The rest of the Repubs will be the same as BUSH, nothing will change. Remember the Repub's let BUSH run wild with their blessings. I can't remember one VETO!!!

I am a independent voter who will vote Democartic this time around…we need to clean out the white house!!!

What a joke! Too bad Huckabee didn't pass down those great Republican family values to his son David who tortured and killed a dog at Boy Scout camp and was convicted of animal cruelty for it!

I'm waiting to see who Marilyn Manson endorses.

Dick Cheney.

"so who wants to tell chuck the founding fathers were basically secularist? Maybe he should read the
constitution, the whole no establishment of religion, which THEY wrote turning us into a secular state, not because they didn't want religion involved, but because they saw the damage that state monarchy based religion did to people."

_Agreed!

and then…
"and its funny the "liberal" media prints this, because ITS NOT NEWS. and why is it everytime a tv star comes out in favor of a republican or admits they don't have much political knowledge like reese witherspoon, EVERY network, like CNN the "liberal" stations, and so on , treat them like a political scholar, and its sooo refreshing. but if an actor is liberal, he gets treated like a hippie PETA member at an NRA rally. "GET OUT IDIOT" "WIMP" "MORON""

_Say what? Are you off the bi-polar meds again?

Folks are interpreting this in a really shallow manner. And yes, our Founding Fathers did acknowledge God as our creator. Why do you think "In God we Trust" is on money. Money was not just recently made. Believe it or not, it has been around for a few minutes. Norris can endorse whomever he wants and I am glad he still believes that God exists. Shame on you Aaron Kinney. If you deny God here, he will deny you on judgement day. So many of these comments sadden me. And we wonder why society is undisciplined and vain.

Who's next to "check-in," Steven Segal?

Hey – does anyone want to know who I'm backing for President – NO – so why should it matter who the celebrities are backing?

Chuck Norris is a moron, and should stick to fighting and making lame infomercials. Founding fathers "fighting against secular beliefs", thats rich chuck. I'm sure Jefferson, when he drafted the Virgina statute of religious freedom, was hoping that we could have a former reverend leading our country! Lets just make Christianity the formal religion of the country, i want to live in a theocracy! Lets all together reject science and evolution while embracing the obtuse logic of creationism and intelligent design! No thanks. Give me a Ron Paul any day over this guy!

To Bob in Seattle:

IF HUCKABEE EVER DEBATED HILLARY, HE'D WET AND SOIL HIS TROUSERS RIGHT THERE ON NATIONAL TV!

Whether you like it or not, the Clintons have shown they know how to campaign and run the country.

Who did macho man pick in 2000 & 2004? Let me guess: probably that ass kicking cowboy George W. Yep,that turned out to be a great choice.

I love the tolerance displayed here by the open-minded ones. Those who demand everyone respect their views, yet fail to do the same.

He looks like homer simpson. look at his mouth area.

Huckbee? dang how wrong can he get. He is soo short.maybe thats why. His politics stink. choose someone else, like Hillary dude.

I barely know who this simpleton is….who barely cares what he says….

I do not understand the value of a celebrity opinion of a candidate. They are no smarter than the average American, and as a group, too isolated from real life to understand real issues. They have a right to an opinion, but voting for someone because of a celebrity's endorsement is crazy and worse than not voting at all.

Let's see, this is the same Chuck Norris who had called out Democrats on their courage to lead the nation in battle, when he himself ducked the draft?!

I'll sleep better knowing that an all-talk, no action, right-wing gobshite is backing a guy who has no clear chance of winning anything!

And the Norris crowd just jump on the bandwagon, right along with the John Wayne types who admired the Duke's movies and followed his lead in not serving their country, but criticizing those who do/did from the other side of the aisle.

I'm actually surprised Norris didn't support a fellow phony, a phony who is turning out to be The King Of The Phonies – Fred Thompson!!!

All you GOPers just have to marvel at the way the party is reduced to accepting anybody in light of the Bush Disaster!!!

And I should care what Chuck Norris says on the extremist right-wing website WingNutDaily why, exactly?

Why do we care what Chuck Norris thinks?

I agree – time to start fighting secular beets!!

I like Chuck and I like Huck. But I honestly question if Gov Huckabee could get the win. While I admire and respect how he is a man true to his faith, I suspect many independents and moderate democrats would not vote for him BECAUSE of his deeply rooted faith (and being a ordained Minister).

Sad, because I think Gov Huckabee is a good man, generally a moderate, and truly believes in reaching out to all Americans.

WHO CAAAAAAAARRRRRREEEEEES!

Because Chuck Norris' opinion totally matters…

Hollywood nuts, left wing, right wing. Who cares who they support.

This is pretty ridiculous. It kind of makes me wonder if a Democrat is behind this accouncement.

I mean, seriously, who honestly believes that our founding fathers were less secularist than the average American today? Read a book, Chuck.

“Mike is also a respected and fearless leader, and he does not cower to the cries of any majority or minority,” Norris added. “He doesn't abandon his values for what's expedient. Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs.”

The Founding Fathers espoused secular beliefs, Chuck. Stick to cheesy. right wing TV and stay out of the issues…

Hey Chuck, I just want to say…

… on second thought, nevermind. You're Chuck Norris. It took ten days and five women just to give birth to you. Far be it from me to argue.

I think Chuck Norris has been hit to many times in the head…

chucks comments show what that actors are best at fantasy's. The founder fathers believed in God but were very wary of state sponsered religion. They did not want the Church of England in America. If they did we would have had the Church of America back in 1776. They saw how Church and State had led to corruption and they didn't want that here. Chuck should go back to middle school history and learn the facts.

I'm waiting to see who Marilyn Manson endorses.

C'mon Walker TEXAS Ranger … look in your backyard, RON PAUL is the perfect candidate. I will never understand why people are so scared to accept change. We need to change(back) to the simplicity of our roots to move forward as a nation!

It is regretful that Mr. Norris, like many Republican "believers", attempts to distort the truth about the history of our nation. Like most Americans, our "Founding Fathers" were spriritual. But they were very deliberate in the Constitution to keep their personal religion out of our government. Escaping state sponsored religion was one of the reasons why many people came to the Americas, then and now.

Mike Huckabee won the Republican debate last night on Fox. Paul is a joke, and gets the joke vote, while the rest of the Repub's must share the REAL conservative vote. Huckabee will now start to get a lot of airwave time and this is all he needs to ride the wave to the White House. He is very impressive. I sincerely hope the Queen Hillary is the Dem nominee. Then we will finally be able to rid this country of the Clinton debacle and get it into history where it belongs. Huckabee will be on the Republican ticket for '08, one way or another. He will also be tha majory reason why the Repub's will be back in the White House (other than Reid and Pelosi single handedly lining the Dem's up in front of the firing squad).

When Chuck Norris jumps into water, he doesn't get wet; The water gets Chuck Norris.

unfortunatly I think this isnt news, who cares who this D-lister uis supporting. Any one who votes for the prez based on what an actor or director picks is a Fu%^ing moron who should be shot and have all of their kids spade or nudered. Yes I know my spelling is off.

Hey Chuck…you're so 1992. Nobody cares on either side. Don't you have a martial arts move to teach?

CNN: please report "news", not "filler".

"Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs"

YEA AND THEY ALSO STOOD UP FOR 'ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL' WHILE THEY ALL HAD SLAVES SHACKLED IN THIER BASEMENT. IF IT WERE UP TO THEM, WOMEN STILL COULD NOT VOTE AND INTERRACIAL COUPLES COULD NOT MARRY EITHER.

Hit in the head one to many times?

Ole Walker either got kicked in the head too many times or all the botox shots into his face pickled his brain…

The Founders were overwhelmingly secularists, Chuck. You can look it up. In the treaty of Tripoli, George Washington and John Adams both agreed that America was not founded on Christian religion. You're spreading falsehoods.

Well, you can't argue with Chuck…I'm still trying to figure out what they are going to do with his 15 Supreme Court nominees…

He's still in this race?

Wow there goes my respect for Chuck Norris – just another right wing nut Job I see.

Better that Mr. Norris stick to delivering round house kicks than opining about matters that are beyond him…

I just heard that Homer Simpson endorsed Hillary. Doh!

And why in heaven's name should I care….?

Couldn't have said it better! Huckabee has what America needs now. Beverly Bishop Huntington Beach, CA

Um, why is this news, and why should I care who Walker Texas Ranger has selected?

I'm a Democrat, and I am torn between Hillary, Obama, and Edwards. I heard Rob Reiner is endorsing Hillary, and since he is one of my favorite directors, I think I'll vote for Hillary. But I haven't made up my mind yet.

Chuck has no idea what he is talking about.

"Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs"

WHAT!?!?! That is the dumbest thing I have read in a while. Our Founding Fathers created what was at the time the most secular goverment in the western world. They never "stood up for a Creator" but just used the concept of a Creator to justify the concept of human rights. I can't believe people buy this conservative "this is a christian nation" BS.

I hate to break it to you, Chuck, but our Founding Fathers created a secular nation in which people have the freedom to choose their spiritual beliefs without governmental intervention.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised; it seems that most Christians nowadays want to rewrite history to make it seem as though their infantile beliefs are the basis for the only country to have founding documents specifically outlining a separation of church and state. And to think that these people actually vote.

If Chuck Norris says it, it must be true.

If you don't support Huckabee, there's a roundhouse kick to the face awaiting you.

So, Chuck Norris is a freak. I love how these right wing nut jobs have come up with a "dirty word" to describe those of us who believe in the separation of church and state: SECULARIST! God save us from these jerks who want to legislate their beliefs onto all of us.

"Secularist beliefs"? Oh yes, God forbid that we should embrace secular beliefs!

Except of course for the fact that the "secular" parts of the USA have higher education, less divorce, less infant mortality, less teen pregnancy, and higher per capita income than the "Godly" parts of the USA.

The verdict is in. Societies are demonstrably worse off when they have God on their side.

Someone should tell Chuck about Ron Paul. Really they should.

Just what the Reverend Huckster needs to beat his electable Repellican rivals and the "inevitable" Shrillary– a nod from a B-movie Donny Bonaduce lookalike.

so who wants to tell chuck the founding fathers were basically secularist? Maybe he should read the constitution, the whole no establishment of religion, which THEY wrote turning us into a secular state, not because they didn't want religion involved, but because they saw the damage that state monarchy based religion did to people.

and its funny the "liberal" media prints this, because ITS NOT NEWS. and why is it everytime a tv star comes out in favor of a republican or admits they don't have much political knowledge like reese witherspoon, EVERY network, like CNN the "liberal" stations, and so on , treat them like a political scholar, and its sooo refreshing. but if an actor is liberal, he gets treated like a hippie PETA member at an NRA rally. "GET OUT IDIOT" "WIMP" "MORON"

Guns don't kill people – Chuck Norris kills people. Do you know whats behind Chuck's beard? ANOTHER FIST. (while I disagree with Chuck….not to his face…Giuliani will be the winner in 08)

Maybe Huckabee can employ Walker, Texas Ranger to fight the evil secularists!

I like you Mr. Norris. In fact I have years and years of respect for you and what you've done in the community, as well as your general outlook and personality, which is above reproach.

However, it saddens me that you aren't supporting Barack Obama, who's message of bringing people together and bringing responsibility back to government by engaging our citizens and the world instead of fearing both ourselves and others would seem to be right up your alley.

You're a good man Mr. Norris. I would ask you sincerely to look at Obama's record and what he's saying. He's a leader of true strength and honesty, and exactly what this country needs in these dark times.
