The article: 'We Could Control This Country': 33 Extreme Reasons to Give Bush the Boot - Maureen Farrell at BuzzFlash.com

The Bush and Christianity debate goes on

However, the conspiracies are tied. Be them what they will. Lets take a look at #4 from the above article

4. Gary Bauer: Former executive committee member of the Council for National Policy and current president of American Values, Bauer was one of the signatories of the Project for a New America Century’s mission statement (along with Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz) and also signed an open letter to G.W. Bush on Sept. 20, 2001, pushing him to attack Iraq and, if need be, Syria and Iran.

Further thoughts on that letter-- Topper Gets "In-Between the lines"

Let me point out in this evidence that I present. A link an open letter to G.W. Bush within the text from BushFlash. How many times do I have to bring up the Project for a New American Century? Again a different cause, and a different effect. However loose a tie it is indeed worth looking into. Furthermore, the more power the right has, the more worried I get about the 22nd amendment.

And let us not forget The Christian Coalition, who now has a new leader in the form of a President. Well they do have their own but the President of the United states is so much more effective. Now let's look at this closer:

7. The Christian Coalition: A key player in the culture war, the Christian Coalition "applauds" recent legislative efforts to subvert the Constitution. Three especially frightening pieces of Christian Coalition-backed legislation are: The Constitution Restoration Act of 2004 ("If the Act passes, Iraqis would have stronger protection from religious extremism than Americans," columnist James Heflin wrote); The Congressional Accountability for Judicial Activism Act," (HR 3920) "to allow Congress to reverse the judgments of the United States Supreme Court"; and The Marriage Protection Act, which, having already passed in the House, could, according to the Atlanta Constitution Journal’s Jay Bookman, allow Congress to pass a law "making Christianity the national religion, and bar the courts from hearing a challenge."

At the website for the Christian Coalition the mission statement maintains to Protest anti-Christianity bigotry and defend the rights of people of faith all right and good but only if Christianity is the only faith. Look into the links above. One particular please making Christianity the national religion. Also, the above link at the CCA regarding HR 3920 is dead. You will find a press release here.  Blocking this piece of legislature is important. And worth repeating a Bush pledge "less Government". It all comes down to the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, it is the core of this bill. To clarify a couple of things. HR 3920 would give more power to The Marriage Protection Act. Enough about big government, to contradict matters.......

23. Judge Roy Moore: Referred to by some as "the Ten Commandments judge," Moore was also behind the Constitution Restoration Act of 2004, which says that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over "any matter" regarding public officials who acknowledge "God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government." As Frederick Clarkson wrote in the Christian Science Monitor, "Although Moore's movement has gained some political traction, its core premise has a fundamental flaw: It aims to ‘restore’ a Christian constitution that never existed."

I guess seeing "The Ten Commandments" in a court house bugged some people. But as always, behind the scenes, in the shadows, lurks, a bigger picture. I have no problem with the Ten Commandments. I have no problem in it what so ever because the prevalent deliverer of these words was God. Not Jesus Christ, but God. The God of us all, plural. Even I, a Gnostic, can get behind that idea. Even with the pledge of allegiance, under God. It doesn't specify any certain denomination, but the Christian right wing wants to ensure that it does. And that my readers, is the rub.
