Bong Hits 4 Jesus
Yes, this simple phrase is causing a Donald V Rosie kinda rift between President Bush and the usually pliant members of his cult of right-wing sycophancy.
Oh Lordy.

This only makes sense. This case goes before the Texas Supreme Court later this week. Same thing. Church group wants to put a halfway house for convicts 1000 ft from schools. Big money "Christian Conservatives" are using this argument:
Pastor Barr also contends that the ordinance not only impacts his freedom of worship but also his freedom of speech. See Tex. Const. art. I , ' 8. He asserts that it is his underlying act of conveying a Christian message in the homesBhis purpose or motivation for the homes' existenceBthat, in this case, prohibits the housing of persons who have been convicted of misdemeanors or felonies within one year of being released from any penal institution. Pastor Barr urges that the ordinance punishes the Christian thought or message behind the act, not the act of housing itself, and that it is what is spoken inside the homes that puts him in violation of the ordinance. He contends, therefore, that the ordinance is content based, not content neutral, and should have been reviewed under a strict scrutiny standard.[6] See Tex. Dep't of Transp. v. Barber, 111 S.W.3d 86, 92-98 (Tex. 2003), cert. denied, 540 U.S. 1177 (2004).
Bong hits for Jesus? Amen!
