The Lefts Collective Conniption

By Rev. Mark H. Creech

January 26, 2005

In a January 11 interview in the Oval Office with editors and reporters of the Washington Times, President Bush said: "I don't see how you can be president, at least from my perspective, without a relationship with the Lord." Since the President made those remarks, the left has had what D. James Kennedy on a broadcast of Scarborough Country referred to as a "collective conniption."

Dave Silverman, communications director for American Atheists said: "President Bush goes far beyond keeping his faith to himself. He's trying to turn our government into a 'religion bully' where the state enforces religious belief and religious correctness. That's un-American."

Andrew Sullivan, editor of The New Republic, accused the president of changing the Republican Party "into a semi-religious organization."

No where in the Constitition does it say a politicion needs to keep his or her faith to themselves. In fact if one were a Christian and kept their faith to themselves it would be reason to question their faith. The Constitution does say, however, that the governement must not pass any law abridging the free exercise of religion.

I personally find it deeply disappointing when "the left" fulfill the ludicrous stereotypes the other side keeps trying to pin on them. Makes me feel like a woman without a country, so to speak.
