Well, not exactly. Barry fans need to see the truth.

Here's the deal, keep your religion out of my government and I'll keep
my government out of your religion.
It's not my religion. It's not your government. No deal.

Well Jim, as an American I do lay claim to the government. So either
you're not from here or don't understand the concept. The government is
supposed to work for us, we put the political leaders in office and we
pay for it, so yes, it does belong to us. Our politicians represent us-
it's called Democracy.


You can call it what you want, in reality it is a representative republic.

Our biggest problem is we don't pay attention to what the government does
in our name and FAR too many of us are too willing to follow along
blindly and allow corrupt trash to remain in office for decades because
it's what our Party tells us is best.
Blind loyalty to your Party is a lot like religion- follow along blindly
and don't ask questions, cause the only proof you're likely to find, if
you're super lucky, may be a likeness of Jesus in your grilled cheese
sandwich.


Or Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin in your latte.

I don't get it. Am I commie if I don't vote McCain? If I stay registered
Republican, can I still call myself a patriot?
Smells like the manure spread during the 2004 election.
I don't drink latte. I drink coffee- black- doesn't matter how old. The
Navy, C-rats and later MREs killed my taste buds.
I wouldn't pay 4 bucks for a cup of yuppy coffee anyway unless it came with
a sandwich or a piece of pie.
