Politics

[gothwalk]

There are a few political things I sort-of want to post about. But mainly what it comes down to is pointing at Bush, and asking, "Will someone explain to that idiot, again, about the separation of church and state?" When there's an international conference, and the US position is agreed on by one single other representative, and that's the Vatican, is this not a clear signal that there is something seriously wrong? While I disagree with many things that Bush is pushing (or that other elements of his administration are pushing), it's his extension into international politics of his own personal insistence on abstinence over contraception that I find to be most reprehensible.

The words "under God" were added to the pledge of allegience in the '50s, when people were claiming Christian was the opposite of Communist. They do not and never did appear in the Constitution.

Thanks for clarifying that.
