On Earth, As It Is In Heavan
July 01, 2004
One thing Bush and his religious base have in common is a contempt for the Constitution and the judges that uphold it. To the religious right, equality and fairness under the laws of a Democratic people threaten their belief they are better and more deserving. They have had it with judges placing them on equal footing before the law when, before their God, they are far more deserving. Their political goals, if they win, is to see things "on earth, as it is in Heavan."
The instruction sheet circulated by the Bush-Cheney campaign to religious volunteers lists 22 "duties" to be performed by specific dates. By July 31, for example, volunteers are to "send your Church Directory to your State Bush-Cheney '04 Headquarters or give [it] to a BC04 Field Rep" and "Talk to your Pastor about holding a Citizenship Sunday and Voter Registration Drive."Churchgoers Get Direction From Bush Campaign
