I saw this bumper sticker on a car in front of me today:



OK, so I don't even know WHERE to begin on that one. Except to say that I was offended by it. And I don't even know if I believe in God or not! I can't imagine how much that must offend someone who is religious, no matter what political party they're in....right? Please tell me I'm right.

So God's choosing parties now?

Let me quote a bit from a story I read at http://www.tnr.com/blog/rnc?pid=1972. Written by a reporter attending the Republican National Convention last week.

"This morning I stopped by a meeting of the Iowa GOP delegation, attended by Nebraska Senator (and potential 2008 candidate) Chuck Hagel [...] Soon after Hagel spoke, the acting state Republican chair--an African-American man in a white cowboy hat named Leon Mosley--urged his delegates, 'Let's remember what's paramount in our life: God ... This is the GOP: God's Official Party.' At that, the room burst into sustained applause. Behold, the Republican base."


I know the Dog House is supposed to be for "slightly" controversial stuff...and this may be more than "slightly" controversial. Let's try to keep it calm so I don't have to delete the thread. Thanks!
