Well, even Pat Buchanan wasn't fooled...

GWB came out pushing the marriage amendment this week, pandering to the remnant of his base. But Pat Buchanan wasn't fooled, I'll bet Rush Limbaugh was falling all over himself. I love my marriage, but ITS MY BUSINESS AND ONLY MY BUSINESS. NOT THE REPUBLICANS, BAPTISTS, PENECOSTALS, MORMANS, AND OTHER EVANGELICALS THAN WOULD RATHER SPEND TIME KEEPING APART HOMOSEXUALS THAN SPREADING THE WORD OF GOD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

I would love for one of these over zealous wing nuts to show me in the HOLY BIBLE where it says, "God bless America". They seem to think that it is ordained in scripture to do whatever they see fit to do to accomplish "their" goals; instead of "His" goals. When it comes down to it we are not citizens of this world, but of the kingdom of God. He doesn't specify which nation is the "most" blessed. Most Americans just assume that its America, and we all know what assuming does for us.

"The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that you can fool all of the people all of the time." ~ Franklin P. Adams, columnist (1881-1960)

"Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on earth. I believe ... that for someone who has read a lot of Dickens to shoot his like in the name of an idea is harder than for someone who has read no Dickens." ~ Joseph Brodsky, writer (1940-1996)
