In addition to the aforementioned cast members, I also quite enjoy Stephanie Birkett (Monty) and Dave's mom.

I don't really give a rats $%!@ if individual religions want to recognize gay marriages -- they have no power over my quality of life.

However, as a gay person who pays taxes just the same as any straight person, my government should damn well extend all of the same rights that straight people are entitled to.

Tax cuts and relief play heavily into the economy. It is essential to put more money into the pockets of middle and lower class Americans. They are the people who are going to spend it, thereby circulating it and breathing life back into the economy. Large tax cuts that are skewed to favor wealthy are not going to help in this capacity. No jobs are created when the rich just keep adding to their stashes.

We never thought about terrorism, never thought we would be fighing a war with Iraq, having problems in the middle east, korea, and Africa. Bush is doing his best to keep us safe if that means war then we go to war! I will say i wa sbetter off in 2000 then 2003 but look at how we live with fear and war. Bush's economy is not the best, but not the worst. I will not blaim the economy on Clinton or Bush, but the war and terrorism and they way we live. Although the economy is getting better but unemplyment is still horrible and we need to do something about that.

At that how about people try joining the military, who cares work at McDonalds! Get a job and it is fixed.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

The First Amendment ensures that religious beliefs - private or organized - are removed from attempted government control. This is the reason why the government cannot tell either you or your church what to believe or to teach.

Furthermore, it ensures that the government does not get involved with enforcing or promoting particular religious doctrines. This is what happens when the government "establishes" a church - and because doing so created so many problems in Europe, the authors of the Contitution wanted to try and prevent the same from happening here.

Can anyone deny that the First Amendment guarantees the principle of religious liberty, even though those words do not appear there? Likewise, the First Amendment guarantees the principle of the separation of church and state - by implication, because separating church and state is what allows religious liberty to exist.

This guy is basically praying for bad things to happen to three of our Supreme Court Justices. Isn't this the sickest thing you've ever heard from a supposed "man of the cloth?" Anybody that listens to a guy like this should have their heads examined by a psychiatrist. There are people that I don't particularly like, (i.e., GW Bush, Pat Robertson, Antonin Scalia, Rick Santorum, Trent Lott) but I'd NEVER pray to God to harm them.

Just in case Pat forgot, there's still a separation of church and state in this country and we MUST defend that!
