Separation of Church & State-izzle, II

Although I didn’t vote for him, I’d like to say thanks to Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen for following the strict adherence to the Democratic Party’s platform of separation of church & state. Many people are aware of the teachings of Jesus and how he told us it was our responsibility to take care of the poor and not the job of government. When Bredesen cut 320,000 people from the rolls of TennCare he gave the clear signal that the state will not prop up religion. The government’s use of tax dollars to take care of the poor is a clear endorsement of Christianity, which flies in the face of what our founders had in mind. Thankfully in 2005, we have a leader who refuses to force religion down our throats and will not use our tax revenue to legislate morality.
