    It's so cool when stupid comments like his can be kept around for posterity.

    Btw, yelling with all caps just makes you look like a kook. Maybe even a fundamentalist, Bible Kook.

    You hit the nail on the head, but bent it anyway. How many times were any of those three middle names even mentioned? Hussein was repeated by the right too many times to count. That's why it kept making the news!

    Quotes from the founding fathers:

    -Christianity neither is nor ever was a part of the common law.
    -History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes
    -Thomas Jefferson

    The government of the US is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion
    -John Adams

    It is a myth that the US was founded as a "Christian nation". If folks like Palin want to believe that, that is fine; it is their right because we do believe in freedom of religion. But when the religious right promotes a candidate like her so that they can more effectively push their values on a nation they believe to be "christian", they are acting in a way contrary to that which the founding fathers would have agreed to. Separation of church and state is the law of the land. We need to keep it that way.
