It's time to tell the truth.
There is no "filibuster against people of faith." Religious people are on both sides of the debate about the filibuster and certain Bush-nominated judges. And it's wrong for one of the country's foremost political leaders to lend legitimacy to a contrary notion. Just as no one should have to pass a religious test in order to hold political office, no one should have to pass a political test in order to claim religion or morality.

Very interesting, as I have perceived injustice Sunday, this is orchestrated by a Protestant Mega Church, not the Catholic Church. Bill Frist's video is going out over mostly Protestant cable, internet and such sites. This is after all a Protestant site, so why are Catholic Apologists criticizing the comments about what is happening. Read the NY Times Editorial page today. Injustice Sunday is not about abortion, it is about Gay Politics. The judges being attacked are not being taken to the woodshed over abortion, in fact many of them are just waiting to be in the majority to end abortion. Activist Judges is a buzzword for those who voted to throw out Sodomy Laws. People of Faith is a buzzword for Homophobes.
The issues of abortion and gay marriage are red straw herring men. Although important, I find the absence of other issues that are mentioned by Jesus negate the righteous claims of some of our Baptist leaders and relegate them to the status of partisan politicians rather then dedicated ministers of the gospel.
