Honestly I can't stand Bush, I think he's one of the worst things that has happened to America in a long time, but I have a hard time thinking it's as bad as the article makes it look. I hope that article about Bush is an exaggeration because it scares the shit out of me.
I think Bush and the Republican party have been crossing the line between church and state, but I can understand if others haven't. At the very least, they have been constantly blurring the line with the hopes of getting more of God's influence on the state. Overall, I think many of them would prefer that we blended in elements of theocracy into the govt.
The most disturbing thing right now to me are the churches that are threatening their followers if they don't vote along the churches views. We need to strike back at them at start revoking tax exempt statuses from them. If they want to be spiritual AND political, fine, let them. But in return they should be treated as political groups and not recieve the perks that go to religious groups.
