"'Isn't it interesting that we have all been trained to recognize the two least religious founding fathers?' Mr. Barton asked, pointing to Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in a painting on the wall. 'And compared to today's secularists these two guys look like a couple of Bible-thumping evangelicals!' Even Jefferson signed letters 'in the year of Our Lord Christ,' Mr. Barton told the group. 'What would happen if George Bush did that? They'd rip his head off!'"

The hooeey is poured on thick by Bubba Barton and his Christian cretinism. Who is he kidding? W finishes every speech with "God bless America", W's Uhmerican version of "Deutschland Uber Alles" and no one calls him to task. He pushes "faith-based initiative" funding and no one calls him to task. The man stomps on the Constitutional separation of church and state and gets away with it.

But no! Bubba Barton wants more!
