The White House has issued President Bush's annual greeting to Muslims around the world who will observe the holy month of Ramadan.
In his message, President Bush says Islam is a peaceful religion that has helped shape the character of the United States, and has made great contributions to the world.

Mr. Bush said Americans cherish the freedom to worship and, he said, "we remain committed to welcoming individuals of all religions."

During Ramadan, President Bush said Muslims fast, pray, contemplate and renew their commitment to lead lives of honesty, integrity and compassion.

Conservative group says invitation to Hindu priest shows nation is drifting from its Judeo-Christian roots

By Jim Abrams

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (AP)--A major conservative group is complaining that an invitation to a Hindu priest to give the prayer at the opening of a House session is another indication of the nation drifting from its Judeo-Christian roots.
``Our founders expected that Christianity - and no other religion - would receive support from the government as long as that support did not violate peoples' consciences and their right to worship,'' said the Family Research Council, a leading advocacy group for conservative causes...

13. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE NOT CHRISTIANS.

The majority of them were, at most, deists.

Pardon the pun, but - GOD, when will people stop believing these myths about the FF? It is to dishonor their memory to lie so self-servingly as this.

9. How come Willie Nelson sings with Toby Keith then endorses Kucinich?

Just curious. Saw the Nelson thing...would love to know how he reconciles collaborating with the Bush minstrel and then endorsing K?
Toby would make a call directly to Ashcroft if he found out where Willes stash is kept. That's the kind of Nazi Toby is.
I heard Toby is putting country lyrics to Wagner's works.

12. Oh, give it a rest.

"Beer for my Horses" was a good song. So what if the two guys who sang it have opposite political beliefs? Can't you just sit back and enjoy the music?
