Nah, musicians seem to be the most successful at pointing out the social climate and bringing about social change. See the 60s and the 70s. Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high, Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie, Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally. Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread Its branches like a Temple overhead. ~Charles Baudelaire http://www.myspace.com/impurity Brutal Skullfucking Death Metal | |

Bush has blundered in virtually every arena I can think of. Domestic policy, economics, foreign policy, and the environment. We've seen a severe degredation of freedom under a severely divided government (from the man who was supposed to be a uniter, not a divider), we've seen the dollar plummet, a record surplus turned into a record deficit, and the kind of lasting economic damage that will take several presidents to recover from. We've seen the most disastrous foreign policy since Vietnam, and a comparable level of hypocrisy when comparing campaigning rhetoric with action. We've seen a continually bad education system lagging farther and farther behind the rest of the world even though we spend massively more money per child than any other nation. We've seen a healthcare system dominated by HMOs and idiotically complex rules, while tying the hands of people who want to save lives by banning stem cell research because the Christian Right believes that a blastocyst = human being. We've seen a president absolutely enabling of pseudoscience like intelligent design. We've seen a president who refuses to do anything about global warming and wants to alter reality to fit his views. All this from a C student who never went to war, who failed every business enterprise he's attempted, who thinks he's been appointed by god. If he's not one of the worst presidents ever, then I wonder how America got where it is today. The great men who have held his position in the past and built this country with their blood, sweat, and tears are rolling in their graves. Bush compares himself to Andrew Jackson, the hero of New Orleans? What a joke. | |

![]() ![]() | This is for Noodles Religion Lambert (2003) has examined the religious affiliations and beliefs of the Founders. Some of the 1787 delegates had no affiliation. The others were Protestants except for three Roman Catholics, C. Carroll, D. Carroll, and Fitzsimons. Among the Protestants Constitutional Convention delegates, 28 were Episcopalian, 8 were Presbyterians, 7 were Congregationalists, 2 were Lutherans, 2 were Dutch Reformed, and 2 were Methodists. Many of the more prominent Founding Fathers were vocal about their opposition to organized religion or anti-clerical, such as Jefferson. Some of them often related their anti-organized church leanings in their speeches and correspondence, including George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson (who created the "Jefferson's Bible"), Benjamin Franklin, Ethan Allen, and Thomas Paine. However, a few of the more notable founders, such as Patrick Henry, were strong proponents of traditional religion. Several of the Founding Fathers considered themselves to be deists or held beliefs very similar to that of traditional Deists, including Jefferson, Paine and Ethan Allen. Notwithstanding the spectrum of beliefs held by the Founding Fathers, most viewed religion in a favorable light. This is noted through their statements in speeches and correspondences in which they describe its role in molding "national morality" and securing the rule of law (George Washington), its check on human "wickedness" (Benjamin Franklin), and its preservation of a free government such as America (John Adams). Regardless, the division of church and state was always emphasized by the founding fathers. "The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion," states the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli. This document was ratified by Congress without much debate or contention and stands today as a reminder of the founding fathers' intentions.[10] Although not a religion, Freemasonry was represented in John Blair, Benjamin Franklin, James Mchenry, George Washington, Abraham Baldwin, Gunning Bedford, William Blount, David Brearly, Daniel Carroll, Jonathan Dayton, Rufus King, John Langdon, George Read, Roger Sherman, James Madison, Robert Morris, William Paterson, and Charles Pinckney Paragragh two sums up my One Nation under God point. Yes it was not founded on A Religion but they all believe in a GOD. |

You are forgetting the fact that they strongly valued the need for separation of church and state. | |
