(Dwight D. Eisenhower). Mitt Romney may not like the looks of this: we've never had a Mormon President. But we've never had an Atheist, either, nor a host of various other religions. What would a Buddhist or Muslim President do, for instance? When the Associated Press polled the 2008 Presidential candidates for religious affiliation, the answers were more representative of U. S. society today: Seven Roman Catholics, three Methodists, three Baptists, one Episcopalian, one Presbyterian, one Mormon, and one - perhaps caught on the spot - describes himself simply as Christian. It is almost certain that, given the stigma against Atheism in our society, a Presidential candidate would rather falsely claim a religion than admit to not having one. There is also the uncomfortable fact that there are de facto religions amongst our citizens which we do not publicly acknowledge. Your word for the day is "Statolatry", a word literally meaning "to idolize the state and worship it". Once you absorb this word's meaning and spirit (coined by Giovanni Gentile in his "Doctrine of Fascism"), you'll never look at a "Never forget 9/11" bumper sticker, a huge statue of a red-white-and-blue eagle, or a crowd signing our National anthem with tears in their eyes quite the same way again. Yes, we all love our country, but how many of us worship it? Polls conducted from time to time indicate that a scary number of Americans believe that Jesus was from here, and that the United States is the chosen land or Zion. Paranormal beliefs also cross the brow of the Presidential mind from time to time. We have all heard about how Ronald Reagan consulted an astrologer on occasion, but so did Calvin Coolidge, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. We have also all heard how Jimmy Carter said that he believed that he saw a UFO, but it's also come out that Dennis Kucinich has seen one as well, while staying at friend Shirley McClaine's house. Religious views are inextricably tied to political hot buttons such as gay marriage and abortion. Without a holy book telling you that homosexuality is wrong, for instance, there is no practical reason for prohibiting gay marriage. And ask any party member why

better
hearing
as
well
If
someone
moved
through
the
house
or
if
they
heard
suspicious
noises
they
would
wake
while
dogs
would
sleep
right
through
it
Humans
loved
having
cats
around
and
they
seemed
to
get
along
good
with
dogs
as
well
These
days
cats
are
used
for
both
companionship
and
show
They
aren’t
used
much
at
all
for
hunting
mice
and
rodent
anymore
at
all
There
are
a
lot
of
breeds
available
from
the
traditional
alley
cat
to
the
well
known
Siamese
All
breeds
are
unique
in
their
own
way
and
will
provide
you
with
years
of
companionship
if
you
take
care
of
them
Before
you
get
a
kitten
or
older
cat
you’ll
first
want
to
examine
the
source
If
you
are
getting
the
kitten
from
a
breeder
you’ll
want
to
make
sure
that
the
breeder
has
a
reputable
reputation
You’ll
also
want
to
ensure
that
the
cattery
is
clean
and
in
good
shape
The
kittens
that
are
still
there
shouldn’t
be
overcrowded
and
their
surroundings
should
be
clean
The
litter
boxes
there
should
be
kept
up
and
both
the
food
and
water
dish
should
be
clean
and
full
The
kittens
shouldn’t
be
caged
instead
free
to
run
around
All
cats
that
are
there
should
appear
healthy
with
shiny
coats
and
none
of
their
ribs
showing
When
you
get
your
kitten
it
should
be
used
to
being
touched
and
handled
The
kitten
should
be
sweet
not
afraid
in
the
least
Kittens
that
have
been
handled
young
normally
have
a
better
temperament
The
better
breeders
won’t
allow
their
kittens
to
leave
the
nest
until
they
are
around
12
weeks
old
with
some
waiting
until
the
kittens
are
16
weeks
By
doing
this
breeders
ensure
that
the
kitten
is
in
good
health
and
his
immune
system
has
properly
developed
There’s
no
mistaken
the
fact
that
cats
are
great
to
own
You
can
get
a
kitten
from
a
reputable
breeder
