Obama Can’t Win in Inauguration Pastor Mess
As you may have heard, president-elect Barack Obama has chosen a pro-life, anti-gay marriage pastor to speak at his inaugruation. If he was going for “can’t make anyone happy,” he succeeded.
Let’s face it, no decision Obama makes for a while is going to please conservatives. Giving Rick Warren a microphone to make a [...]
Religion and Politics Report Card For the 2008 Election
Religion and politics butted heads several times in the 2008 election season, impacting the presidential vote, Senate races and of course ballot measures. So what was the final score of the religion in politics season?
Electing Representatives
Secularism Defeated Religion
Starting at the presidential level, the only religious issue was that many non-religious folks, and many non-Republicans [...]
Why I Voted For John McCain
I’ll admit, I fell into the category of undecided for far too long in this election. In most years, I would agree with the idea that if you didn’t know who you were voting for a month before the election, then you likely weren’t informed enough to be casting a quality vote.
This election changed [...]
We’ve Seen Our Last Great President
We may all disagree on who the last great President of the United States was, but I can say now that whoever it was, was the last great president we’ll ever have.
The presidential process has made it nearly impossible for the right person to win the presidency, and even harder for them to have an [...]
Please Make This Election Go Away
I can’t take it anymore. Please make this election stop. Make it go away.
This campaign has been going for two years (really since Obama ran for Congress). I can’t take the commercials anymore. I can’t take the late night talk shows anymore. I can’t watch The Daily Show or Colbert [...]
Is Sarah Palin Running for President?
Is it me, or has this campaign turned into Obama vs. Palin? I can’t recall hearing the phrase “Biden Campaign” yet, but have lost count of all of the times I’ve heard someone mentioning Sarah Palin’s campaign.
Look, I don’t like the idea of Vice-President Palin either. But I also don’t like the idea [...]
What If Obama Loses?
What if we wake up on Wednesday and read “McCain Wins” on the top of our newspapers?
I say this not out of concern for a John McCain presidency, since I think that both candidates are going to be failures as president, but out of concern for the reaction that we’ll see in this country.
First off, [...]
The Religion Guide to the Presidential Election
To many people, religion is a key ingredient in what makes a good president or government. In the United States, many mistakenly feel that this is a Christian nation, and should be governed as such. Since that’s not the case, and the Constitution is clear about a separation between church and state, each [...]
Nobody’s a Winner with These Candidates
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John McCain and Sarah Palin. Is this a list of the worst candidates in the history of the United States? And I don’t mean that each one is worse than everyone else before them, I mean that collectively, there is not a good choice to cast your vote for [...]
Conservapedia Scares Me
The conservative answer to Wikipedia, Conservapedia, scares the living daylights out of me. I’ll be honest — I’d never even known that Conservapedia existed, and right now I wish I could go back in time to when I didn’t know about it. Despite being an atheist, I actually tend to lean to the [...]
