How in heck can Bush's Inauguration include a Pastor's Benediction?

[IDENTITY]

The pastor gets up there and starts with "Lord Almighty..." and ends with "Thank you Jesus Christ."

Ummmmm....have I missed the Supreme Court getting rid of our long standing policy of separation of Church and State?

I think if you hadn't thrown in your 2 cents about seperation of church and state and left it as a news story, it might not have been moved...either way this is the place for it

whatever no biggie. certainly, had this been posted by a moderator, it would have remained. in either case, it's fine. i would like to hear others' opinions on the subject.

2 words that dont go together in the same sentence ....

Jesus Christ & George Bush

One was perfect and the 2nd is the Modern Day Version of Hitler

c'mon doc. that is ridiculous. to compare bush to hitler is ignorant. hitler committed genocide. bush has not. bush has merely lied to the american people in order to protect his and his administration's oil interests at the expense of our young american boys and the thousands of innocent iraqi citizens. please admit your comparison is absurd.

Notice it says ESTABLISHMENT of religion. Bush is not establishing a state religion, nor is anyone else establishing a state religion by praying at the inauguration. It's activist judges and idiots who file lawsuits that have brainwashed people into thinking that you cannot mention God anywhere in public. Just stupid.

So because Robert Byrd was a past member of the KKK and now a Democrat, I should lump all democrats as supporters of the KKK?
