Reply #164: And what this even REMOTELY has to do with HS is anybody's guess! [View All]

I wish there was as great an outcry against this Bush action as there was in the Dubai deal.

Something's wrong in government when these totally unrelated issues get mixed into other legislation, or in this case, presidential directive.

As I think about it more, this is not clarifying the intent of any HS legislation, this is a presidential attempt to MAKE law! And subvert that pesky little separation between church and state that the fundies hate so much, while he's at it.

I think you are completely right there, mom cat. It looks like an attempt at an end run around anti-discrimination laws. Dems need to be careful on this, though. It also may be an attempt to make the Dems look like they are "anti-religion" in an election year. There should be a well-thought out strategy for fighting this; one that can appeal to a broad spectrum of Americans.
