The current admin isn't the only one using the term "evil" to describe folk.
That goddamn Christian bastard. How dare he try to force his perspective on me. I don't believe in that, just perspectives.

Ah, ye olde "Clinton did it too" argument. This isn't about republican v. democrat, so you can take that tired old response back to limbaugh circa 2004.

You accuse me of unsubstantiated premise, then go on to put forth your own unsubstantiated premise. I don't care if you don't agree with mine, i never claimed it as fact, just my opinion. Though, if you'll notice our president, an evangelical who believes that all of his actions are divinely sanctioned...
Do you think a stronger fundamentalist/evangelical undercurrent is good for our country?

For the purposes of this thread, the founding fathers can fuck right off. Let's pretend that we all realize that none of use can speak for the founding fathers.
