Probably true, but their lobbyist proclaim Bush Jr. as the first president

Seems like his point is well taken. Reagan never screwed things
over in the name of Jesus like Bush Jr. is doing.

Possibly, but Reagan had loads of hard core bible-thumpers in his admin,
right up to the cabinet level, making policy. I shudder to think what that
bunch would have done unchecked. Robert Bork may have gotten a raw deal, but
he was an out and out fascist, even outside the views that got him his bad
ride in the Senate. Kemp and William Bennett were throwbacks to some
medieval age...

In this vein, don't confuse "faith" with a positive outlook on life,
especially with all the glorification of suffering we've heard these past
couple weeks.
