DEL.ICIO.USSuch a lovely day for a protest, then say a prayer on Thursday
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
MoveOn.org and Georgians Against Escalation in Iraq have scheduled a protest against President Bush’s veto — just in time for today’s six o’clock news. It’s to be at Freedom Park at Moreland Avenue and Freedom Parkway in Atlanta. Bring your Frisbees.
No presumptions, but the other side of the ideological spectrum might be more interested in National Day of Prayer ceremonies at the state Capitol at 1 p.m. Thursday.
Sadie Fields, chairman of the Georgia Christian Alliance, is distributing invitations on behalf of Gov. Sonny Perdue.

Someone thought it would be funny to make fun of the anti-war movement, but I detect no ridicule in the prayer ceremonies to some invisible “God” or whatever, how interesting.

That is a huge an inaccurate presumption that only Republicans pray. There are and have always been a significant number of people of faith against this war. There are also Democrats namely this one who pray and will participate in the day of pray. I agree with Michelle that you only make fun of the anti-war protesters as well. And they say this paper has a liberal bias??

Oh my goodness, I hope Mary Grabar doesn’t have to drive down Moreland or Freedom Parkway this evening! It’d be a shame for “old hippies” to shock her delicate sensibilities like they did at the Inman Park Festival Parade!

Even atheists took up prayer the day Bush got in office.
