It's becoming more and more apparant that this is indeed a religious crusade. Seems to me that anyone in the gov't, whether elected or hireling, who utters any sort of religious sentiments is guilty of a hate crime. Dubbya needs to be hauled off to the Hague for his rhetoric alone -- especially his refusal to allow Wiccan ceremonies on military bases and his pronouncement that Wicca was "not a real religion." First amendment freedom of speech is one thing, but perhaps we need a new amendment which proscribes any gov't official from any sort of proselytizing, prayers, or even any mention of anything relating to their personal religous beliefs.
