			<description><![CDATA[ I thought for sure we would get negative e-mail about our lack of belief in talking snakes, donkeys, or burning bushes.  Instead, I find a well written letter
from Tyler in WA.  If this is the type of message we are going to receive then we are in for some real discussion and debates.
<br>
<br>
First off, it is no secret that we are now in the center of the battleground for Barack and Hillary.   I had a Barack supporter come to my door.  We are seeing
fliers on how Hillary supported NAFTA and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ugh.
<br>
<br>
A few days ago I received a response to the email I sent to my jackassed representative about HR 888:
<br>
<br>

<blockquote>
  Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition to affirming our nation&#39;s Judeo-Christian heritage.  I appreciate hearing from you.
</blockquote>
<br>
No, seriously - don&#39;t dilly-dally around.  Just piss me off in the very first sentence with your pathetic attempt at sarcasm.  Bag of douche.

			<description><![CDATA[ Iowa state Senator Charles Grassley has sent six letters requesting information regarding the use of funds by prominent ministries that are tax-exempt. It
seems that the inquiry was sparked by complaints from donors and other investigative news reports. CBS ran a report that is featured on the <a target="_blank" href="http://religiousfreaks.com/2008/01/31/sen-charles-grassley-probes-top-ministries/">Religious Freaks</a> web site. You can also read the actual letters sent on

			<description><![CDATA[ The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/StateConstitutions.htm">state constitutions</a> for these states disallow a person with no religious beliefs
from running for public office, and, in the case of Arkansas, from providing a testimony as a witness in a court case. Absolutely outrageous! ]]></description>

  <li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Barack Obama</span> - I consider myself an independent, but the republican party over the past 6 years or so has turned
  me into a de facto democrat.  Right now, my vote is Obama&#39;s to lose.  (You out there, Deb?)  I know we represent all shades of political affiliation
