Bush still stickin’ it to the Wiccans?

Only months after winning a legal battle with the Department of Veterans Affairs that gave her the right to request a Wiccan symbol on her husband’s grave, a Nevada woman is again accusing the administration of snubbing her because of her faith.

Last week, President Bush met in northern Nevada with family members of soldiers who have perished in combat, including relatives of Patrick Stewart, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2005.

But his wife, Roberta Stewart, was not invited. She thinks the snub stems from her suit against the VA, which eventually agreed to add the pentacle to the list of religious symbols permitted on the gravestones of deceased veterans. “I’m upset that I wasn’t invited,” Stewart said. “I think it is because of my faith. I feel like I’ve been discriminated against again.”

The Rev. Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State added, “She stood courageously for religious freedom for all soldiers, and the president was wrong to treat her so shabbily.”

declaring that wicca isn't a real religion.

she was also snubbed because she dared to challenge the powers-that-be.

Just curious if it has gone to court...

Yet, the little man snubs her. Way to support the troops, asshole.

:rofl:

Where is the joke here?

understand

As much as it pains me to say something nice about the Chimperor, he did find out about Roberta Stewart being dissed, and personally called her to apologize for the oversight.
