Swear by the Constitution, and/or on your honor as a gentleman. I find that if I can get through that last with a straight face, people are so surprised they'll believe me no matter what I say next. :)
Anyway, wish I could say I was surprised. This is about brainwashing, now. There's a reason The Idiot has presided over a savaging of public education: the very last thing he wants is an informed, intelligent electorate. Because the only reasons left for supporting that war criminal are: being a member of the "christian" Taliban, being an anti-Arab racist, being a homophobic bigot, being insufficiently obscenely wealthy, or being just flat out dumber than a fair minority of rocks.
It's a blatant moneygrubbing scheme designed to empty the wallets of Right-wing loonies while simultaneously getting them to mark themselves out as complete idiots.
It also fosters the false idea that "religious" and "intelligent" are opposites. But I don't suppose anyone reading this cares about that.:)
If Bush is ever ousted from his position, among the many parties suing him for punitive damages should be every single Christian church. He's set their cause back thousands of years.
However, a lot of intelligent people are in favor of George Bush's positions (after all, international politics are so complicated that even most intelligent people don't know what to do); therefore, an association with George Bush is not considered proof of idiocy. And a lot of liberal churches disagree with the Republican platform, so we have some distance from the Bush administration. Bush's actions are not staining American Christianity.
The Intelligent Design proponents are a much greater threat to the reputation of the church.

Not the ones who think he's spiffy. And unfortunately, there are plenty of Christian churches who fall under that category.

Nearby, paint a shark, circling towards it.
Oops, I think I slightly altered the message. Naughty me. :)
