Thanksgiving

From Ace of Spades:

Reich-wing fascist tea-bagger George Washington is spewing dangerous religious propaganda:
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and - Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness":

Update:

It turns out Abraham Lincoln was party to this failure to separate church and state, too. Obama, of course, feels no need to thank the God he doesn't believe in.
