But not everyone in this country is Christian. The Christians are certainly not being persecuted. Give me a break. They are pandered to. How would you feel if this country was run by a Muslim or Jewish leader who makes his decisions based on what Mohammed or Moses would do? This country was founded on freedom of religion and I currently feel that W does not care that I'm a Jew. His policies and decisions are all based on what Jesus would do and, yes, I have a huge problem with it.
