Today in Religious Crazy...
Oh, you thought I could go a day without pinpointing the crazy around us? Well think again!
As always, Michelle Bachmann and friends come out swinging for the fences attempting to hit a grand-slam of ridiculous penning a letter claiming Obama doesn't say "God" enough. In it, the Congressional Prayer Caucus (yes, there is a publicly funded Caucus of Congressmen who focus on bringing more prayer into our lives) argue that his focus on E Pluribis Unim isn't rightly Christ Centered for our Nation and claim he is removing a "cornerstone" of our foundation. To prove this, they point to our national motto and pledge of allegiance, both of which assumed the word "God" in the fifties--apparently judicial opinions handed down in the fifties such as desegregation and equal rights are judicial activism while congress passing a law to change words reflects upon our "foundation".

I got into politics to put Christian conservatives into office. They're the people that do the best jobs over all.
