Theocracy

Isn't it about time America became a full-fledged theocracy?

If you listen to talk radio or watch a certain cable news station, you will be reminded that our founding fathers were actually theocrats and fundamentalists.

Thomas Jefferson might have been a freethinker on the surface, but we all know he really wanted prayer in schools, state-funded parochial education, and edifices worshiping G-d in all public buildings.

We'll also forget the fact that Benjamin Franklin was an atheist, that John Adams a religious cynic, and that the Father of our nation, George Washington, was a deist. For, over the past few years, we've never let facts get in the way of a good argument.

And we shouldn't let the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, or any other French-inspired left-wing dribble get in the way of our future theocracy, a theocracy with I, Folly, as its first patron saint.
