Now that our president is being elected by the religious right, it is time that all church and nonprofit religious organizations pay real estate and income taxes.

We could use all of the money for new roads paved with gold leading to the Bush prison camps located in vacant big-box stores found in every American city.

It would be like heaven! All Democrats, gays, non-believers will be welcome, and the first 40 million will get a free smiley sticker for their forehead. In Maine, we will be welcomed by Michael Heath.

So, come on people. All you need is a Republican ticket and get on board to a land of record deficits, no Social Security and no civil rights. Scream now or forever hold your ball and chain.
