"Our Founding Fathers"
were little more than an educated (mostly), affluent (in some cases) elite band of REBELS, of REVOLUTIONARIES. Although they had the best manners of the times, they were not always nice people.
Furthermore....separation of Church and State? Their idea, not Madalyn Murray O'Hair's. They had had enough of Theocracy, thank you very much.
Even though I am a regular Communicant, and try to act as a true Christian, I am delighted that my participation is
OPTIONAL. It was not optional in pre-Revolutionary War New England.
They were not about the status quo.
Oh, yes, they had their flaws. Slaveholding among them.
However, they were not singleminded. If I could lay my hands on Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography--have a copy, not sure exactly where at the moment- (a drinker "Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy," and a notorious admirer of the female form, including, but not limited to, Debby, his wife.....) He has several telling quotes about changing one's mind when new information is presented.
Flame away. Fill my email box. I giveth not a poop. Oh, and I am still here. My birthday begins in a little less than 6 hours, and I am taking no prisoners.
Which brings me to <B>GuantanaOhforgetit.</i>
One last thing-- "In God We Trust" was added to United States currency in the freaking 1950s. Joe McCarthy era.

GOP=Gas and Oil Party
What companies are profiting in our recessive economy right now? Gasoline is a goddamn commidtiy and a utility. The oil companies blame rising prices on a hemmroid on ass of the prince in Saudi Arabia, but do they ever take a discount on THEIR margin? The oil dropped about 10 bucks a gallon yesterday. Did the gas stations take the price down? When it goes up 10 bucks a gallon, they get the ladder out and change the price THAT day, when it goes down, they loose the ladder. This is bullshit, and price gouging, and a monopoly. Someone is communicating gasoline price fixing in this nation, and we need to make an agenda of the next President to investigate. Dont blame foriengn countires, gas in Mexico is 2.15 a gallon.

The original name given to "Operation Iraqi Freedom" was "Operation Iraqi Liberation", but Cheney voted it down for obvious reasons.
Every time Cheney and Bush rattle their sabres it's tens of billions of dollars more in the pockets of their family and friends in the oil biz.

Conservatives reclaim America?
Did you mean South America? There is, after all, oil there and just full of pesky, uncooperative dictators for you to topple and occupy militarily. This brand of foreign policy has worked to the advantage of Bush's buddies so far, it's wise to not upset the applecart now. You'll have to scrape the bottom of the treasury coffers though, they seem to be empty at the moment. Sorry, did you mention illegal wealth? Hmmmm...
"the way our forefathers intended"?? Do you mean when they brought the constitution down from the mountain on tablets? Good thing there were all those dinosaurs around to ride so they didn't have to walk!
Vote McCain ;-)

The best President we ever had was Jimmy Carter, who was totally for the people of America, not the American Political People.
He knew in the 1970's that America's dependance on foriegn oil was going to cost us our economic freedom. He put taxes on gas guzzling vehicles and urged everyone to turn back the thermostat and conserve our way out of the energy crisis.
He was pretty much slaughered by Congress for his ideas. He should be re-elected as President.
Then along came the movie star President Reagan, with only half his brain functioning, who saw no energy crisis, no AIDS crisis, just prosperity for all who had a fucking credit card.
Eventually America should realize that being either a Republican or a Democarat is so polarizing in our nation that it consumes 95% of our time fighting each other, and the other 5 percent of the time that our elected politicans should be representing the people,they are either drunk or on vacation.
Elected officials should have no political party after when they get elected, they should become the American Party, for the people.
A Democatic Congress or a Republican Congress, how freeking stupid. Let our reps vote,without that stigma of polarization.
I think once you are in the Senate and the House, your in, and you have no political party, just a duty to serve the people who elected you. We should not even count votes by Repubicans vs Democrats in these issues. It is as stupid as Coke vs Pepsi.
Democracy happens at the poll boths,then whomever is elected is in fact a public servant to the people,not a spokesman for their political party that the taxpayers pay for.

~The original name given to "Operation Iraqi Freedom" HMMM looks familiar.
Now THAT editor has a sense of humor! (Well at least we know which one wears the *dress* in that union!)
