The Parker women – Star and now Kathleen - just don’t get it. That does not surprise me though. After all they are journalists. Even journalists tell us they are more Liberals than Conservatives. It is only a short step from there to understanding Liberals are Godless.

Kathleen runs no risk of heresy by writing what she has written here. For her to say so is only fear mongering and dramatizing the undramatic.

For politicians to be discussing politics in a  church building is not at all wrong or un-American. It is a matter of fact much a part of U.S. history, not at all fearful or dramatic to those of us with a grasp of history. It may be those things only to postmodernists poorly educated in U.S. public schools recently.

Those schools, by the way, were set up originally by God honoring people, Scriptures were taught in them, Bibles and prayer were allowed in them as was recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to “one nation under God” without fear or drama.

According to Muslim believers Obama is a Muslim. It matters not what Obama, a Muslim in his heart and mind or not, says or thinks about it. It matters not what anyone else thinks or says about it.

Obama was born to a Muslim father, raised at least in part by that father and a Muslim stepfather. Thus Obama is a Muslim, according to Muslims, until he renounces Islam.

Once he has renounced Islam, according to well known Muslim belief and practice, Obama will have a fatwah – order of death – on his life actionable by any Muslim. All Obama has to do to convince that he is not a Muslim is to say that he has renounced Islam and has a fatwah on his life. He has not done that yet as far as I have seen and heard.

Kathleen apparently is not listening before writing, or if listening is ignoring what people are saying. People are saying in large numbers that the Civil Forum swayed them to be McCain voters, to drop Obama as their candidate of choice. In that case the winner, not the loser, is America, yes a nation founded on separation of church and state as freedom of religion but not freedom from religion.

The Parkers are confused or are deliberately trying to confuse by misstating the Constitutional prohibition against establishment of a state religion.

Kathleen contradicts herself and reveals her confusion or attempt to confuse by going on to cite Thomas Jefferson, a politician, one of the founding fathers, making a statement about religious belief. Jefferson did not lose, was not a loser, nor has or is the United States and its citizens.

The last time I checked Christians are still allowed to vote in the U.S. I intend to vote in November for the candidate of my choice and the Civil Forum has helped me and others in deciding for whom to vote.

Now tell me please, Ms. Parkers, what is wrong with any of that?
