If Bush is a religious fanatic, then even more so were the Founding Fathers of this country, among whom I count my ancestors on my father's side. And why is religion only bad in the view of many only when it is of the traditional variety? Just the other night, during the last debate, Kerry spoke of his 'faith' and his altar-boy background; is he a 'religious fanatic'? By maligning all those of a religiously conservative background, one dismisses the many, many Americans in the Bible belt, whose music and culture are presumably so celebrated here on this forum.
And since when is the New York Times an unimpeachable, unbiased source on political matters?
I know my views are very unpopular, to say the least, here, but sometimes it's hard not to speak up.
