Christianist wiretapping theocracy on the rise!

Damn! I hate it when politicians inject their religious views into matters of state:

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is getting more public about his Christianity.

First he raised his Christian faith at a White House news conference this month. Then he went church for the first time in five months. And on Tuesday he responded to a question with an expansive talk about how he chose Christianity, how Jesus Christ influences his life and how he prays every day.

Whatever happened to separation of church and state?

Jefferson would be appalled.

Will no one challenge this steady decline in our traditional secular values? Seriously, we are all human and we all have our shortcomings, so it's tough to keep our religious views private, but at least when Bush did spoke up about his religious beliefs, it was considered bad. Evil! And when Bush even hinted at wiretapping, he was not only roundly condemned, there were calls for impeachment.

But now we have a Christianist theocrat occupying the White House, whose administration seeks new technology to allow the government universal wiretapping capabilities on the Internet, and that's just fine.

Where's the outrage?

There is no outrage because the media knows Obama doesn't mean it.

"But now we have a Christianist theocrat occupying the White House,..."

I'd hardly call Obama a Christian, much less a theocrat. The closet he comes to "Christian" is his 20-some year tenure at "Rev" Wright's Church of Hate and Venom. In a recent speech about rights, he wouldn't even use he word "Creator" - as in "endowed .... with certain inalienable rights".

A lot of folks seem to think he leans more to the Muslim side of the aisle, but that doesn't fit either. He doesn't do any of the things a good Muslim would do.

The best we can say is that he's probably either agnostic or atheist.

So he can't be a "theocrat".

One thing he definitely has in common with other theocrats is, he very much wants to impose his vision of a socialist America on the rest of us.

Recent history shows us that candidates almost always "get religion" close to election time. Hillary was no exception.
