If you want religion to play a bigger part in government - move to an Islamist country. The founding fathers were Deists. I almost came to blows with my born again sister over this last summer.

Moreover, Bush’s top political advisers privately ridiculed evangelical supporters as “nuts” and “goofy” while embracing them in public and using their votes to help win elections. The former official also writes that the White House office of faith-based initiatives, which Bush promoted as a non-political effort to support religious social service organizations, was told to host pre-election events designed to mobilize religious voters who would most likely favor Republican candidates. _http://kevinbussey.wordpress.com/2006/10/13/white-house-advisers-mock-then-exploit-evangelical-supporters/_ (http://kevinbussey.wordpress.com/2006/10/13/white-house-advisers-mock-then-exploit-evangeli cal-supporters/) ========Original Message======== Subj: [AsburyPark] Re: Justified Right Date: 3/7/2007 5:17:38 P.M.
