This is sort of a question, and sort of a rant.
How does Bush try to feed it to the masses that he is doing what he pleases when it is in DIRECT violation to the Bill of rights?
So we have the first ammendmen of the united states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
And for you people who are a little slow to the uptake in 1947 the supreme court spelled out what this means in detail, thier is no other way to look at it, the meaning of this is:
Neither the state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or nonattendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion. Neither a state nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and vice versa. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between church and state.”
Wow I think, the goverment is doing a pretty damn good job of keeping those damn Catholics in check. I sleep a sound sleep, dreams of burning Bishops and colapsing churches dancing in my head.
But then I wake up and I read THIS!!

Now I know that this amendment was rightly quashed, but not long after that Bush does this:

Chuches have enough ******** members to hand over money to them, I don't think are very government has to FORCE US to give them money. I guess Bush woke up one day and said, **** the schools, **** social security, **** THE HUGE ******* DEFICET! I think I will give billions of dollars so the Catholic church can be .01% richer!!
