Let's see; Declaration of Independence - "... Nature's God ..." "... by their Creator . .." or the Constitution "... but no religious test shall ever be required ..."

None of that sounds like a ringing affirmation of any particular religion.

I'm sure they were referring to Allah. Or perhaps Ehecatl?

Boy, you should probably stay away from DC.

We could start by burning all currency that extolled our trust in God.

AND switch to Chinese currency.

Tell me exactly what your fear is.. That she'll mention God at the State of the Union address? Exclude all gays from her administration? Cancel abortion services for the White House staff med coverage? Leave the Christmas lights up all year at the White House?

What the worse things that she would have the power to do?

Because I've got no choice. I ain't got a party to support. Might have to vote for her.

BTW: it's a somewhat rhetorical question because I'm more afraid of Santorum...

I was about to say; We've already heard from one idiotic Republican Theocrat who wants to round up doctors and charge them with murder. And, I'm assuming-----use the death penalty on them.

(Oooookay. Scratch Santorum.)
