Hijacked our Religion to get Elected
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow has been under a lot of fire lately since the recent book by former White House staffer David Kuo claimed that Snow had refered to Evangelists as “nuts”. The book went on to imply that the Bush administration had manipulated the religious right to get elected. It goes without saying that a lot of eyebrows have been raised in response to this alleged statement and others like it since members of the religious right are considered close supporters of President Bush and his faith based initiatives.
First of all, I believe one hundred percent that Tony Snow made these alleged statements. The Evangelical leaders in this country are nuts. They are completely and utterly insane. Anyone who believes the literal interpretation of the bible, a four thousand year old book, is just crazy.
Second and more importantly, I address the claims that the Bush administration used the religious right as a means to get reelected. To this I say “DUH”, and anyone who did not realize that was simply naive. Why else would Bush have proposed an amendment that would ban gay marriage and brought up abortion, two issues that were irrelevant to the good of the country, a few months before the presidential election? As far as I am concerned, Neil Young says it best in his song “Let’s Impeach the President” from of his most recent album when he sings “They hijacked our religion to get elected”.
