Poor Petraeus. Shated for what I think is exemplary behaviour.

[GrumpyDog]

Well...speaking only for myself, I don't personally give two $#@!s what superstitions people want to follow. If the "magic man in the sky" makes them feel better, then that is none of my gods damned business. My only problem comes when they start trying to legislate behaviour based on the morality of that superstition. Then it becomes a question of trying to infringe on my individual liberty.

Then you should either take back the Republican party, from the current coaltion of religious fanatics, or become a progressive, as GrumpyDog is, and help move the country forward into the 21st century of a technological utopia.
