Good. Taxpayer money shouldn't be wasted in any form by encouraging prayer. It's the job of pastors, priests, and other such people to encourage people to pray, not the government.

Precisely. How is it that our resident theocrats can, on the one hand, denounce the size of the Federal government, and then, breathlessly, turn around and argue it ought to prop up their preferred denomination with the other?

And the Obama administration is too afraid to take such a stance......

Wait wait wait.  Thanksgiving is supposed to be giving thanks to God?!  I've always been giving thanks to the Indians who helped out the Christian settlers, shortly before we largely wiped them out and sent them to live on 'reservations'.  I've never given thanks to "God", and I doubt I would even if I believed in such a thing.

Nope, it's God; you were wrong.

Haha, I don't really care what you religious folks get up to, but I'll do it the way I want, ok?  It's a pretty stupid and hypocritical holiday, in any case.

Why do you hate turkey, Joe?  That's like hating America.  Wink
