Bushisms - he's the laughingstock of the world: "
Take a surf over to Julien's List to see some of Dubya's latest gaffes, 'W' Stands for What in the HELL Did He Say?!?. A sampling... We're talking about a part of the world in which, uhh, you know, our foreign policy was, let's just hope for the best and tolerate the fact there's no free societies. And -- what ended up happening was, there was a -- tyrants have emerged, tyrants that threatened our security. And so not only was the action worth it, the action is worth it to make sure that democracy exists, and, uhh, because democracies will yield peace, and that's what we want.
-- Dubya making the case (?) for the invasion of Iraq, Washington, D.C., Apr. 4, 2005
Government should be an advocate of faith-based and community-based programs, not an impedent to faith-based programs. Government ought to be not a road block.

James Wolcott: Sunday Sermonette
"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
"I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise. They have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving: it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe."
--Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
