Silly Sali

Bill Sali says he believes in religious freedom - apparently only provided it is Christian freedom. He maintains that the U.S. was founded on Christian principles and therefore we should only rely on the God of the Bible. How does he reconcile this view with the fact that one of the very foundations of the nation rests upon the belief in religious freedom. A Hindu is not free to offer an opening prayer in the Senate? A Muslim is not supposed to be elected to the House of Representatives? While Sali says he respects religious freedom this is not what the founding fathers envisioned. So what does he think they envisioned when they insisted on religious freedom? That only Christians should have the right to open the Senate with a prayer? Sali wants to pretend that he's not a religious nutcase but unfortunately he is. Unhappily that will no doubt get him lots of votes here in Idaho where the God of the Bible has been protecting us and allowing us to flourish all these years. At least he would if Sali didn't vote against virtually everything proposed for the benefit of the country. Sali should simply be laughed out of the Congress, fool that he is.

I really don't want Hillary to be the Democratic candidate for President. She is much too Republican for my taste. But I have to admit she is clearly coming across as by far the strongest candidate. She is extremely knowledgeable about most of the issues, she stands her ground and is confident, and she rarely, if ever, makes a real mistake. Obama makes great speeches, sound and fury signifying not much of anything (so far). To my mind Edwards comes across as a little boy trying to argue with his mommie. After his terrible faux pas with the Gays I think Richardson is probably finished. Biden and Dodd are not serious candidates. Kucinich is the best of the lot but the powers that be have already dismissed him as irrelevant. Gravel is an interesting nuisance but nothing more. I have said from the very beginning that Hillary is the chosen one and so far I believe that is happening. Where is the White Knight?

The hot weather continues. Part of our garden has pretty much been wiped out. We are thinking of moving, perhaps to the Olympic Peninsula. The thought of moving is terrifying but perhaps...
