Theocracy

So, now Bush is telling us that one of Miers' major qualification is her religion. Isn't that grand? First we allow the Iraqis to write the Koran into their constitution, thus ensuring an Islamic state in place of the nominally secular one we threw out. Now, Bush seems to think that being an Evangelical Christian is an important criteria for sitting as a judge in America.

Besides being another crony and a Born Again woman, is there any other reason W thinks she should sit on the bench? While I do enjoy watching the theocons squirm, the more Bush talks up the nominee, the more afraid I am for the future of our country.

Forget Roe V. Wade. Will the Lawrence v. Texas (2003), which finally made gay relationships not punishable by prison terms, be upheld by a court where you not only have to swear on the Bible, but thump it as well? How will Jews, Muslims, Atheists and feel having the Reverend Miers protecting their First Amendment Rights?


I thought that Bush swore twice to defend and uphold the Constitution, not to subvert it with his theocratic tendencies. The best we can hope for is that he is lying to his base. He convinced millions of poor and lower class, mostly white, Americans to vote for him to fight abortion and gay marriage. How long will they continue to vote against their own families' economic interests to support Bush's hollow Gospel?
