-----excerpt-----
On a related note, I am deeply concerned about the increasing role of
organized religion--especially right-wing fundamentalist Christianity--in
our governance, and the apparent unwillingness of the Supreme Court's
right wing to enforce the First Amendment's prohibition on laws respecting
an establishment of religion. Remember President Bush's inauguration,
which was dedicated to "our savior Jesus Christ" and seemed more like a
Christian prayer service than a national civic event? ...
President Bush's record is not as attractive as his advocates would have
us believe, nor is the Democratic field as dismal as they claim. There is
no reason to let the war against terrorism frighten us into abandoning our
commitment to social justice and equality.
