 The religion of Harriet Miers, Supreme Court Justice nominee
It is openly affiliated with the North American Christian Convention (NACC) and has widely been reported as an "Evangelical" congregation, a label whose accuracy depends on one's definition of "Evangelical." The Valley View Christian Church is part of the religious body known as the "Christian Churches and Churches of Christ" (often abbreviated "CC/CC").
The North Dallas church is one of about 1,100 churches attached to the North American Christian Convention [i.e., the Stone-Campbellite religious body known as the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ].
The official webpage of the Valley View Christian Church even claims that its beliefs "are not innovative" and "fall well within the boundaries of evangelical theology." This further illustrates the fact that the Valley View Christian Church is not distinctive or theologically independent and isolated but is part of a larger religious body.

 Country Music Online - Free MP3 Downloads - Ringtones - News, CountryMusic Videos
However, only a minority of the tunes current among American fiddlers can be traced directly to Old World antecedents, and it is probably incorrect to view American fiddling in terms of an imported tradition that developed its own characteristics in the New World.
Early commercial country music was a direct descendant of the ballad and folk tradition brought to the American South by immigrants from the British Isles in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Early violinists playing for dancers probably performed a preexisting body of dance music; the "modern" fiddle tune repertoire is rooted in the body of tunes and tune types that crystallized throughout the British Isles and Ireland, and in places settled by people from these areas, in the mid- to late eighteenth century.

 Americentrism - Open Encyclopedia
Americentrism or American ethnocentrism refers to the collective views of Americans which are ethnocentrist or culturally biased.
The term Americentrism tends to be used in contexts where an American point-of-view appears to dominate political debate, to the detriment of neutral, a world view, or world opinion.
American exceptionalism is widely considered to be an academic codification of the benevolent American mythos; attributing the apparent success and prosperity of the United States to deliberate and wise choices, rather than to the vast lands and natural wealth on which early Americans were privileged to settle.

 Age of Enlightenment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This view argues that the establishment of a contractual basis of rights would lead to the market mechanism and capitalism, the scientific method, religious and racial tolerance, and the organization of states into self-governing republics through democratic means.
The Enlightenment is held, in this view, to be the source of critical ideas, such as the centrality of freedom, democracy and reason as being the primary values of a society.
This movement also provided a framework for the American and French Revolutions, as well as leading to the rise of capitalism and the birth of socialism.

 Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline
The individualism of the classical liberals does not stem from the pursuit of self-gratification, but from a view of the requirements of natural law.
Absent these restraints, classical liberalism degenerates into radical individualism and egalitarianism, the defining characteristics of modern liberalism.
But let us return from the constitution to contemporary moral issues.

 The Social Psychology of Immigration: The Greek American Experience
The author is preparing a paper on the Greek Orthodox Church, where he holds the view that the suppression of non-religious forms of ethnic identification during the American nativist movement in the early twentieth century may partly explain the founding of a large number of new Greek Orthodox churches at the time.
It is the author's view, based on his personal observations within the Greek American community(32), that much of church-preserved Greek culture is like a well-kept butterfly inside a thick exhibit glass, than it is a live movement capable of evolving, or of shaping people's lives.
The church, which is well known in the Chicago-area Greek American community, is located in a western Chicago suburb near the intersection of highway 290 and Central Avenue.

 Flag Protection - Citizens Flag Alliance
The five justices said that physical desecration is “speech” and that singling out the American flag for protection amounts, in itself, to favoring one point of view over other competing points of view.
These senators say they agree with most Americans: Congress should be allowed, as in the past, to protect the flag from physical desecration.
Or, acting on their professed support for flag protection, they must allow the fifty states to vote on the proposed constitutional amendment, thus permitting correction of what they say is the Court’s mistake.

 American Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Where the thinkers of the American enlightenment stressed social and political concerns, based on a Newtonian mechanistic view of the world, the thinkers of American Transcendentalism took the emphasis on individuals and their relation to the community in a different direction.
Broadly speaking, American Philosophy in the eighteenth century can be divided into two halves, the first still heavily influenced by the Calvinism of the Puritans and the second more directly along the lines of the European Enlightenment and associated with the political philosophy of the Founding Fathers (e.g., Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin).
The American Declaration of Independence as well as the United States Constitution, with its initial amendments, better known as the Bill of Rights, was drafted at this time, with their emphasis on religious toleration.

 Dr. Buckley's Notes, American Political Culture
Classic American political science assumed that, in view of the great number of different interest groups, almost everybody is represented directly or indirectly by some lobbyist or another.
The benign view, associated with many of the Founding Fathers, assumes that ordinary Americans are uneducated, uninformed, mean spirited, self-interested, and thoroughly unfit to govern the society.
As American diversity grows, so, too, does conflict over "who gets what." No longer is politics reserved for the participation by and benefit of propertied, white males.
