Re: Osama Obama

There is a difference in believing something and imposing it upon everyone else who may not share your beliefs.

Why would anyone be any less of a "good Catholic" for being politically pro-choice? Especially when our constitution guarantees the right of each and every one of us to choose our own religious beliefs and a major feature of our political system is the seperation of church and state...

Are you saying one can't be a good Catholic and be a good politican?

It shouldn't matter a whit what church one attends the second that cheeks hit the chair in the Oval Office. We need a man to uphold the rule of law, the will of the majority, the sanctity of the constitution: not attempt to change it to fit a single religious/special interest/coorporate agenda.

It's not our president's job to dictate what we are to believe or what is moral. It is our job to tell him what we want... and his job to work toward achieving it.

I don't know if Obama's the right guy... but I'm certainly not going to be bothered by his personal religion or views on morality unless he's made it clear he intends to do everything in his power to shove them down my throat.
