Torone, what would a political debate be without the extreme left of the extreme left be?

I don't fear the word "god". I use it alot myself, as in "god damn" and "Jesus H Christ"...

Seriously, the word itself is never and issue. 1st amendment says anyone has the right to use it all they want. But your constitution also discusses seperation of church and state. I personally feel that some of the programs, ideas, and examples used by your President showed a certain failure to understand that seperation. Many examples were given of "good christians" doing good things... but apparently no muslim, shinto,buddist, jewish, or other organization does good for their community. That is sad. As a politician, he should be know what politically correct means - it means working to include all groups in everything you do, and not to promote one group over the other. "Faith based initiatives" is just nice words for giving tax dollars to christian churches. That isn't in everyones best interest.

I have explained to you many times over my personal stake in this. A rock dropped in the pond in the US still rippled all over the world. My business comes from the US, many of my clients, and the political and economic situation in the US is important to me as a result.
