Christian Ideals and Republican Policies (BBC article)

"The president has been sovereignly decided by God to lead this country," said Matt Roberts, a head teacher.

"If we could see abortion come to an end," said Sheriff Phalen. "If the Supreme Court could end this tragedy, I would be elated."

...........

"Would you still support Bush if he wasn't a Christian?" I asked.

For many Republicans, Christianity and support for the president go hand-in-hand
"No," came the answer from Pastor Johnson.

4. I think we ought to start taxing Pastor Johnson's church......

Every Christian clique that wants to stick its nose in politics should be taxed like any other corporation....
