What happened to Separation of Church and State? - I guess that doesn't apply to the Democrats. It's more evidence of a, 'do as I say not as I do', mentality. Evident by the likes of Kerry with his whine over the Swifties.
Fair is fair when you have those who started the whole 527's in the likes of Soros and MoveOn.
Impeached President Clinton spent Sunday speaking from the pulpit in Manhattan's Riverside Church.
Devlin Barrett's AP report on Clinton is found on Newsday.com:
...speaking at Riverside Church in upper Manhattan, [President Clinton] said, "Politics and political involvement dictated by faith is not the exclusive province of the right wing."
The Democrats, Clinton argued, need to show their policies are also rooted in faith. "The religious right has tried to turn us all, in disagreeing with them, into two-dimensional cartoons," he said.
Speaking of Bush's religious beliefs, he said, "I believe President Bush is a good Christian. I believe that his faith in Jesus saved him. I believe it gave him new purpose and direction to his life.
"But that doesn't mean that he doesn't see through a glass darkly," Clinton said, quoting a biblical phrase for not seeing clearly.
"It doesn't mean that you can have a bunch of people acting on your behalf and pretending like you don't know them, to say that the seven people who were on John Kerry's Swift boat don't know what they're talking about when they say he deserves the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts," Clinton said.
I don't mind that the former President said what he said. He has that right even though he be wrong.
But the truth is that when you have a Republican speaking from a church pulpit on something even remotely political the Democrats cry foul. Their oft heralded cry is 'Separation of Church and State' in such incidents. Some even start pressing for the removal of the tax free status of the church where the speech was given. But why not when a Democrat is caught doing it?
It's yet another Democrat Double Standard. An egregious one at that.
