- "shit on sight"? Very humorous imagry. I can imagine Mr. Bush
- telling his pilot of Air Force One to fly over all the athiests on the
- streets below, sticking his ass out the door and shitting. Oh, wait a
- minute, he has done so already. It was called the election campaign.

-
- One, everyone has the right to their own opinion. However, there are
- inappropriate times to express certain opinions. Would it be appropriate for
- the president to start showing doubt if Jews really ought not to be rounded
- up and exterminated? What if he said, "I don't know if Jews ought not to be
- herded like cattle, casterated, and then set to the gas chambers. After all,
- out nation does need lampshades. I don't know if they are citizens, nor if
- they ought to be treated as human beings." Notice, he never said that he
- felt that it ought to be done. However, his public show of doubt about the
- humanity of the Jews, and their right for constitutional protection would be
- damaging to the Jews. Mr. Bush's remarks have caused harm amoung the athiest
- community, from individual anguish to giving legitamacy to bashing athiesm.
-
- As for you next lines, it is non sequitar. Most US citizens do not
- have a passport. If you are not leaving the nation ( except for Canada, the
- Bahamas, etc ), you don't ever need one. My FL driver's liscence is a valid
- enough for of ID, thank you. So, why would he try to take away all these
- passports?
-
- The main reason of why he hasn't attempted to throw them out, is
- that he recognizes that he has no legitimate authority to do so. However,
- his support of peer-forcing athiests to pray in public schools, HAVE been
- damaging to the athiest community. Thank god, the SC has struck any
- attempts down!
