Yo: Check out this article...

After all these years of good old American religious liberty, some denominations still think the government wants to take away their right to worship; and they also want to run the government (a very bad idea). G. War plays to those who think that way (another very bad idea; the only kind he ever seems to have).

OY!

Fascinating! Wealthy secularists (there must be a few of these) should adopt the poor church-blighted town of Stafford, Texas and send it finacial aid. Actually the churches should do this, but probably won't.

The glass is half full, the town council wants more taxes less churches; the glass is half empty, churches are popping up like tulips in Holland.
