Hat tips to From the Left and Living in Small Places for pointing me in the direction of WeCanBelieveIn.com which I used to make this.
I have previously blogged on Obama's call to expand Bush's hate-based initiatives.

Hey lib, I can appreciate the work you put into that even as an Obama supporter. Reading the Senator's books, speeches etc... over the last 2 years have made me realize faith is a large component of his existence however I don't believe he is specifically against atheist groups.
Giving federal grants to religious charities is an act of bigotry and hatred against atheists. The whole premise behind it is that religion makes someone a better person, which is hateful and bigoted.
These hate based initiatives discriminate against atheist taxpayers by forcing us to subsidize religious indoctrination. They also discriminate against atheists using government services who will be forced to go into hostile environments in order to get services that everyone should get on a fair and equal basis.
I have taken a lot of heat from furious Obamaholics for calling him on his FISA vote.
These people are so desperate for change and to be rid of Bush/Cheney that they stick their heads in the sand and say nothing when Obama flip-flops on issues like FISA.
I do think and I believe Obama will be 1000 times better than McBush, but as an Independent and a blogger, I refuse to ignore Obama's voting record and say nothing when I think he's wrong.
Like with FISA.
christopher: There also is a pragmatic argument for different bloggers taking an independent stand like you are. If we all march in lockstep, our views and concerns are more easily taken for granted.
Couldn't agree more...I was astounded by the reaction that the Obama True Believers had to the NY-er satire cover of late. Zealotry in any form is a form of insanity as far as I'm concerned.
By the way, nice "poster" work and great blog in general. I'll be back.
