A couple of W's quotes were taken out context. I recognized them and know where they came from. Even still I have to agree that Bush and some others in government have a severe case of religion that really needs to be checked at the door when they come to work.
The comments from the religious types don't really surprise me much. Fred Phelps wins the prize as most in need of a straight jacket. Fear not. What Fred and his congregation have forgotten is what comes around goes around.
Most of these folks need to sit down with Mon Senor (sp?) Francis O'Dell. Years ago during an interview he was asked about the religious driven violence in Belfast. He replied without missing a beat, "Religion is like a fine Irish Whiskey. They're both marvelous things when taken in moderation."
Please, please remember that conservative does not always mean religious, homophobic zealot. And as Father O'Dell demonstrated, religious doesn't have to mean up tight zealot either.
