"a third of the country is nervous about the fact [sic] that . . . the Christian right . . . may have too much influence."

This is probably the same one third that embraces deviancy, demands socialism and hates America to start with.

[CWW]

Well now, we wouldn't want Christians to be exercising their franchise to vote.

Clearly they have no right to influence the political process.

Another example of No Value Added with Matt Lauer. When the left or Muslims use religion, we should listen objectively with compassion. But Bush mentions religious and it is divisive.

"Homer once said, 'all men need the gods.'"

I thought Homer was a Christian.

David Gregory claimed that "the Bush era has created not just a political but a religious divide."

The ACLU and dims created the divide long before President Bush took office.

[Reaganesque]

Surely Mr. Bush couldn't be sincere in his religious beliefs. I mean, most of Mr. Lauer's friends have a religion they claim membership in but never attend and sneer at the doctrines they're supposed to believe in so, clearly, Mr. Bush couldn't be any more faithful than they are, right? /sarc

If you have faith, you will have HOPE, then comes, Charity because you want to share the good news of Gods' Powerful Grace, and feed his people who need this news, as well as food clothing, etc.

God Bless those who know the truth (Jesus Christ, Our Lord Saviour) for they will Enter The Kingdom of Heaven, and live a positive life here on earth.

ACLU members and other Commies, have no faith, many have sold thier souls, especially in Hollywood, So all I can do is pray that they will have the scales removed from thier eyes, as The Revelation Testament has suggested.

Ops4 God Bless America!

"the Bush era has created not just a political but a religious divide."

Oh good Lord ;)

Governs - I don't know how you did it today. I knew when that story started it was going to be a hit piece. Double Nexium for you today!

[OKIEDOC]

I've never seen the today show, well not since Dan Rather left.

Who is this Matt Lower person.

I don't think I make my mind up about who I vote for based on what some TV person thinks.

These people are usually shallow and perverted in their views.

Mos def. As said at the top, you could see this one coming, so I braced myself!

[demkicker]

And these commie atheists in the media don't have a clue that they offend most Christians, especially when they lecture us.

It speaks volumes for NBC to pimp Meacham's book. And I love it when David Gregory spits in our eyes to quote: "the Founders understood that religion had to be a thread in the tapestry, not the whole tapestry. That it should shape the country, but not strangle it."

Many of us can forgive, Lauer & Gregory and the Today show, but we'll never forget.

Guess when big gummit is your god, you look through everything through the prism of politics! Yet they wonder why their viewer-ship is in the commode?

The first two words in this title say all that needs to be said about Lauer.

If he was true to his profession he would not need to suggest anything. Indeed, he would state rather than suggest. He has lost sight of his role as a 'journalist' or 'reporter'.

I am so glad that the internet has exposed these folks for what they have become, Editorial writers attempting to hijack the 'news' as their primary tool for indoctrination into their own utopia based socialist/communist agenda.

Matt lauer ( and his ilk ) is to today's journalism as Osama bin laden is to today's Islam.

[DCPatriot]

I know you get this all the time Mark, but this is a very nicely written piece.

You have editors now? ;^)

[OldFriend]

A third of the country is liberal to the core. Socialist/Marxist at all times.

Nothing surprising that they would eschew any religious influence.

[OldFriend]

Guess they thought slick willie's using the Bible as a prop on his way to BJs in the oval office was just dandy!

[iceskater]

You just posted exactly what I was thinking!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Thanks, DC. Yes, I have editors at NewsBusters. They rarely if ever edit the actual language of my pieces, but do make suggestions on broader matters, and have their own screen capture abilities, which would come in handy today!
