Baitrunner,

You would do well to remind Mr. Bush and his various generals of this! Bush himself and some of his generals (I'm sorry I can't remember their names, or specific remarks at this point) have made some frightening religious based comments in the last 2 years. Those are the remarks upon which I base my opinion that Bush is a religious zealot, in addition to the article above, posted by Val.

Just for the record I am not anti-Judeo/Christian, nor anti-religious, any more than I hate people with more money than me, or envy them. I am anti-anything which violates the U.S. Constitution, and thereby threatens my or anyone elses rights or freedoms. I believe religion is something one practices at home or in the church of their choice, not from the oval office, or the capitol, or the bench of the Supreme Court, and I aggressively defend the freedom from religion guaranteed me by the Constitution. Religion has no place in government, and government has no place in religion. BTW, I was raised Catholic.

There is a HUGE difference between Clinton, or Kerry, or anyone else "professing" their faith, or privately relying on it to guide them, and others trying to legislate their faith for everyone else or using it to justify war. Kerry addressed this very eloquently during the 2nd and 3rd debates when responding to questions regarding abortion and stem cell research.

Respectfully,

Jim
