It just makes his agenda more apparent. He should leave his beliefs in the church, that's all I'm saying. He doesn't need to talk about "him" and "his way" and "our lord."

I agree with you to an extent. But, don't all Presidents do that? I seem to remember they do, but I could be wrong. So, I do not get that upset when W does it. What I do get upset about is when he tries to shove his view of religion down the throats of people a la the $1.5 billion to teach Christian marriage

Also, I believe the Sup. Ct. has prohibited the govt. making anyone say the Plede of Allegiance as the "under God" part seemingly violates the Frist Amendment's Establishment Clause.

This is true. No one can be "forced" to say it.

Strand, I don't know what you do for a living, but you know too much about precedent setting cases to not work in the legal field

Isn't that money supposed to go to Africa to help fight AIDs? That was another whopper.
