I’ve been noticing that the mouthpieces of Bush’s God have changed their tune in the last year. It used to be, “Oh, X doesn’t violate the separation of church and state” — e.g., the “under God” in the pledge doesn’t, because it’s really not religious. Now that they’ve had their way and continue to march forward, that’s not working so well, though — the current stuff (like the House Resolution below) is so clearly and unequivocally religious that such a line would be ludicrous (even more than before). So now, they do the “Separation? There never was no steenkin’ separation!” line instead. Lots of “we used to do this shit, so don’t whine about it now”. After all, the House Resolution itself is full of that. It’s a scary idea: The old shitty argument has been replaced by a new, even shittier argument, because they need to go farther than the old shitty argument would take them.
