Religion and the Constitution

Religion Clause is an interesting blog focusing on the first amendment to the Constitution. It isn't focusing on the free speech, but rather as the name suggests the religion clause of the first amendment.

There are a number of articles relating to the Presidential candidates pandering to one religious group or another. As a religious and spiritual person, I find this pandering to be offensive. I always thought the religion clause was meant to keep government out of religion and religion out of government, unfortunately, it does nothing about keeping religion out of politics.

What is wrong with Obama

My Brother recently asked me to help him decide which Presidential candidate he should support. He didn't want me to tell him positive things about the candidates, but rather wanted me to give him a list of 10 things that are wrong with a candidate. I listed a number of problems I felt the candidates had, and continued to think about this for a while.

Well I just found Apocalypse 2008: Obama. This blog has a number issues with Obama, in particular:
  1. Associates:
    • Rev. Wright
    • Tony Rezko
    • Hatem El-Hady (former head of a Hamas connected organization)
    • Bill Ayres
  2. Weak on terrorism, Hamas would like Obama elected
  3. Weak on foreign policy

plus many other reasons. Definitely worth a look.
