Our Tax Dollars at Church
Silly me. I thought the United States would be a better place once Bush was out of office and either Hillary or Obama replaced him, but I see now that Obama is already making Bush-like promises to the religious right for the use of my tax dollars. Bush formed the Office of Faith Based Initiatives immediately upon his fraudulent first election success, giving our tax dollars to the clergy before anyone else whether we believe in god or not. I personally do not and while I understand that Obama is willing to say whatever is necessary to get into office, that affront to my constitutional rights should never have existed, let alone be extended beyond this administration and/or expanded to give them more money and greater power. Not only is it a slap in the face to the separation of church and state, it smacks of prejudice against atheists, agnostics, and others who do not wish to have other peoples' unwelcome beliefs forced upon them. It seems religious freedom is a one-way policy when the Constitution is ignored for so long by so many.
