The administration and the Republican Party have been working hard to marginalize their opponents. They've been working hard to increase the conflict everywhere they can identify wedge issues. It's important that these politicians stop it. They have to realize they're working for the country, representing a diverse population.
Far-out Fundamentalist cries for another polarizing move on the national and even more permanent level illustrate the disconnect. They want to marginalize the majority of Americans who live as individuals, work for progress and want the Constitution to continue defending their rights.
Bill Frist and his allies in that sect want a religious test for office, a fundamental contradition to the Constitution, and they claim strict constructionist leanings. They either lie or they don't understand the difference between their words and their works. Either way, they are an enemy to freedom and our nation. Traitors to the Constitution.
Mr. Bush's legacy will be one of discord and ruin if he chooses to brush off the realistic-minded among us with another wet kiss to the far right, and we'll all suffer when we have no defense against drug companies, insurance companies, real estate companies, all the industries freed to influence our government instead of us. We'll have the right to practice a Christian religion of our choice, but lose the right to do something worthwhile with our time.
Whether it's religion or business, the slant of this government reflects only a slim but animated segment of our society, and is gradually diminishing the value of the individual in our country in favor of the Bloc and the Lobby.
