Two points I’d like to make here. One is that, ever since the tragedy of p/11, along with a Bush presidency, it’s clear that police forces around the country have dropped their “to protect and to serve” logo for the new, more fitting “we’re going to fuck you up!” one.

Hey, America…. still happy with the choices you made in 2000 and 2004?

Point two; Jeremie, a commenter to our “Colorado’s Personhood Amendment” post, says that “Separation of Church and State” is something that doesn’t exist in the US Constitution.

Jeremie obviously wants to toss democracy out the window in favor of a theocracy. I suppose he’d rather have 74 year-old Tony Alamo running the country. (Would they still call it a country, or would it become a compound?)

Evangelist’s compound raided in child abuse case

(CNN) — Federal and state police raided an evangelist’s compound in Arkansas late Saturday to investigate whether any children have been physically or sexually abused, officials said.

The raid is part of a two-year investigation into a compound near Texarkana, Arkansas, owned by Tony Alamo Christian Ministries, said Bill Sadler of the Arkansas State Police. About 100 agents were on the 10- to 15-acre site late Saturday and met with no resistance, he said. [...]

“It’s a hoax,” Alamo said. “They’re just trying to make our church look evil … by saying I’m a pornographer. Saying that I rape little children. … I love children. I don’t abuse them. Never have. Never will.”

So much room for corruption - so little oversight. Isn’t it about time we ran the Church out of the country?
