CHURCH AND STATE, CTD: On the issue of Rick Perry's religious fanfare, PM Carpenter
sees it how it is.
Rick Perry's "Response" was, of course, nothing of the sort; merely
another unholy political outreach to the immeasurable power of electoral
bigotry. If God ever indeed gave a celestial damn about imbuing
America's White House with the dubious blessings of Christian
fundamentalism, I should think George W. Bush caused Him some serious
reconsideration, and He sure wouldn't be phoning Rick so soon. After
George, atheists must look pretty good to His better angels.
I couldn't agree more.
