On a related note... it's been awhile since I had to spend my Sunday mornings listening to Baptist preachers rail on about the evils of the modern world, but an alert reader caught this line in the State of the Union address:
"Yet there's power, wonder-working power, in the goodness and idealism and faith of the American people."
As it turns out, the "power, wonder-working power" bit is a reference to an old hymn, "There is Power in the Blood of the Lamb."
Wow, I thought most people caught that. But then that wasn't a very good assumption on my part, as most people are not recovering Southern Baptists.

how the FUCK did I miss that?
This sort of nationalism cannot go unchecked. This is going to get us all killed. If this the evangelicalism that has become so popular in the last decade, we are nothing less than FUCKED.
