A separation of Church and Wise-cracks as seen through the Wise-cracker
A New York Times blog scrutinizes Pope Benedict's arrest of 'dictatorship by relativism.' The pope's rejection favors a singular lead (specifically Catholic) that escorts the weak and humble to a populist truth. It's a very hard line stance even President Bush is echoing. Whether he understands it or just likes the way the words roll off his tongue is anyone's guess.
My take is this: how does the United States, a country exhorted by separation of Church and state, even entertain an absurd idea as this? Oh, that's right, we elected George Bush. Twice.
Listen, you wanna talk about elitist comments, look no further. Statements like this are what give Christians a bad name and Catholics a justified scorn. To be sure, the path to true righteousness is acquired only through Christ. But if you're the leader of a nation that enables freedom of or from religion, how do these words leave your mouth? Oh right, this is Bush talking. Never mind.

I'm going to need a telephone call to clarify this post. From what I understood I enjoyed it.
I think.
What's to clarify?
I'm an idiot.
