Double Sigh

While I'm thrilled to see Obama stand up for the separation of church and state, someone needs to remind him that there are road blocks on both sides of that two way street between church and state.

Secularism does not mean that government cannot interfere with religion, but religion can interfere with government.

If he cares about upholding the separation between church and state when it comes to building a mosque in lower Manhattan (which he should), then he should be just as adamant and clear in his conviction when it comes to imposing antediluvian religious laws upon women and gays with regards to abortion and gay marriage.

Obama has twice recently upheld religious law in direct contravention of the constitutional rights of women and homosexuals.

I expect our President to stand up for our constitutional principles without fail -- not only when it's easy or politically expedient.
