Ted, Kerry is not mixing politics with religion LOL, I just posted the link to an incident where he did. So what if it's FOXNews? It's a fact that he went inside a Baptist church and took scripture out-of-context for political gain, no? I told you "so what". Fox News is a joke..........its like a weekly sitcom. you all refuse to get that point and truly understand its implication. I'm avoiding the point because this has been a long-standing disagreement between us. Just to remind you of my position, freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom from religion. No, it means no religion in the gov't. I think its amusing how you all try to sneak it in the back door.....like the rest of us won't notice. You got your "under God" kept in the pledge.....be happy with that and stop pushing your luck. Heh, personally I think activist atheists like yourself got lucky with that technicality.>I> Just because I didn't have an organism over the Passion does not make an atheist. Its too bad you all have to showboat your religion to feel good about yourselves. Now you guys have more time to stuff the Supreme Court with more liberal judges before the issue comes back up again. As it is now, the Supreme Court would have upheld "under God," even without Scalia. And your point was? By the way, I enjoyed watching Newdow's hypocritical efforts to impose his atheism upon his daughter get rejected. I bet you did. Perhaps the next time the issue comes up, it will be on behalf of a child who truly believes that "under God" ought to be stricken from the Pledge. Good idea.......we'll work on it. ted

Ten, re: LOL, I just posted the link to an incident where he did. How about on a relative basis Kerry is not mixing politics and religion. Bush is claiming direction from God. Kerry isn't even close. Even born again Carter didn't pander to the fundamentalist crowd like Bush does. US Presidents have traditionally treated religion as a private matter, a bow to the constitution. Bush has abandoned that tradition, as he has so many other traditions. A neo is not a conservative. In most ways the neo's are the opposite of traditional conservatives; much closer to the liberals from whence they came. John
