Obama Defends His Patriotism ...and takes a big old step to the center, Clinton-style. Yuck. As a big fan of the separation of church and state, his proposal to expand Bush's government funding for faith-based programs has me particularly pissed off.
Obama does say he won't allow govt-funded religious groups to discriminate based on religion in hiring, but he said nothing about sexual orientation--so does that mean he's ok with funding organizations like the Salvation Army that outright refuse to hire gay folks? Dialogue: Government funding for faith-based programs is awesome! Wiretapping is awesome! I'm a patriot! John McCain's a patriot! Have I mentioned that I support the death penalty? I like guns! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mikhaela B.

The problem with messiahs is that they will always end up disappointing you. This isn't a criticism of Obama (as a foreigner, I really don't know that much about him, though I've liked what I've seen and heard thus far). Rather, it's an observation of the sense of betrayal that follows when any political "saviour" has to mix it in the world of realpolitik.
Love your cartoons, btw. They're insightful and incisive.
