I submit that post 911 faith has become a central core to many in the United States... because if you did not pray on that day you are inhumane.

The left surely doesn't believe in 'the primacy of the individual' as they worship at the altar of the almighty state.
They hate President Bush because he represents moral standards and character that they refuse to acknowledge as correct.
While the premise of this article has merit - namely that the viurlent oppostition to Bush may be a reaction against his faith - the conclusion that homosexuality is the ultimate basis of the argument is pure drivel.
The Islamists hate us not merely because of homosexuality, but because we are NOT devotees of Allah.
Here is a fascinating dissection into the liberal heart of the matter:
Hedonistic secularists realize that the legitimization of homosexuality—particularly legalization of gay marriage—is a dagger into the heart of the Christian faith and the institutions that shelter its values.
Great read!

Well wtitten, thank you. This election will hinge on our efforts but mainly on the amount of time on our knees before God. I watched Henry V (1989) last night, great movie, and was reminded of Gods' great power over insermountable odds.
What we are seeing today is the Book of Revelation played out before our eyes...If you are a blood bought child of God, the message from Jesus to you is "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED" and "LOOK UP, YOUR REDEMTION IS NEAR" When President Bush said he was the right man for these times, he knew what he was talking about...and we need him for four more years!
I am a person of Faith. President Bush Leads he BEST of the BEST that are My brothers and Sisters. They can feel any way they want too. He can even bring me back into srevice and I will go and be proud to serve. God Bless America.
This is wildly inaccurate. I have never heard Bush advance the notion of America as a Christian nation. I have never heard him promote the teaching of creationism. I have never heard him claim that he wants to ban abortion. Reich is grasping at a straw man. Bush is in fact quite moderate on most things than the hysterical left seems to understand. It could have been much worse for them, in terms of their ideas being shut out.
Robert Reich thinks that people like me are as dangerous as terrorists. Though perverse, that doesn't bother me personally, because I think that secular humanism is more dangerous than terrorism.
This is true. Our culture accepts homosexuality, and I have seen Christians trim their theological sails in order to fall in line with our culture.
The pressure to do so is immense. I've seen it in good Christian friends of mine who are desperate to fit in with the world on the issue of homosexuality. Pretty soon the Bible gets recrafted to accomodate the social pressure.
Ping.
Reported during a local news break tonight: A "controversial" monument visits our city...The Ten Commandments, immortalized in marble, a roaming display brought about by war veterans.
Who would ever have thought a display of The Ten Commandments would one day (this day, here and now) be called "controversial"?
Exactly!
When I read the European Press ::le Monde, Libération,etc. 80% of the comments about President Bush have to do with his faith. They ridicule it and deride him as a religious fanatic and moron.

Yeah....all this, and LOOK WHO'S PREACHIN' FROM THE PULPIT TODAY....KERRY!!! I thought you weren't suppost to combine church and politics ...hmmm?????? Man, if WE did this...
I pointed out to a guy at work that this is why the devout Athiest, George Soros is so vehement against GW Bush and mocks 'Bush's God' - why Hollywood too.
