Theocracy Alert!
Oh brother, George W. Bush delivered another one of those Bible-thumping speeches, blurring the lines between church and state, and pushing our secular republic ever closer to a Taliban-style theocracy. Just get a load of this:
Speaking to Sunday church congregants in New Orleans, President George W. Bush invoked Jesus' Sermon on the Mount days before the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina."Getting ready to talk to you today, I recall what Jesus said at the end of the Sermon on the Mount," Bush said at New Orleans' First Emmanuel Baptist Church. "He said, whoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock."
"The rains descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. But it did not fall, because it was founded on the rock," he continued.
That rock, he said, was a principal of brotherhood exemplified by the church during Hurricane Katrina— but not the federal government.
"Something was wrong in America. Our foundation wasn't built on the rock," he said.
Quick, somebody call the ACLU, Americans for the Separation of Church and State, or People for the American Way!
Oh, wait, it wasn't Bush citing Christ's words as the rock upon which the nation must be built -- it was Illinois' Democratic Sen. Barack Obama.
Oops. Never mind!
