I do admire Stephen Colbert, and other conservative commentators. Especially Glen Beck and David Duke.
Colbert is actually a liberal like John Stewart. I will assuming you're not being sarcastic agree with you about Beck. However I have to disagree with you on Duke, wasn't a David Duke a white supremist. As I've said in the past racism in general is stupid, and I will not condone racism in any form.

Like I said, Japan has had low church attendance. When we took over the Philippines from Spain, under a conservative Republican president, one of our goals was to convert the population to Christianity. And, church attendance in the Philippines remains strong. The Philippines has no wimpy gun control, no socialized medicine, and no "nanny state." The country remains proudly conservative and Christian, thanks to our good Republican President McKinley.
The Philippines was already converted to Christianity I would think because it was under Spanish control. Anyways I'm not one to force people to convert to Christianity because that is a poor way of demonstrating how to be a Christian. If someone converts it should be of their own free will.

When we took over Japan, saving the population by converting the Japanese to Christianity wasn't even an after-thought. Hence, the country has fallen into liberal-socialist squalor, thanks to President Roosevelt.
Uh, President Roosevelt died in office before World War II concluded. The problem Japan had was that government subsidized everything to allow them to undercut our goods in trade. The thing is they put themselves in a hole doing so, and then raised taxes which torpedoed their economy. Japan not having a large Christian population had nothing to do with it.
