Just like Rumsfeld mastered the crucial distinction between "old" and new Europe (is that at all like old and new Coke?), so too have the wingnuts and their pundit stooges mastered the distinction between old God--you know, all that Bible/fire and brimstone nonsense that no one has time to read these days anyway--and the new, who merely dutifully supports the troops and never forgets proper Pledge posture...a distinction lost on "radical" ministers like Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who must actually read scripture (radical, but somehow quaint) and realize that the Bible is FULL of invective. God damn America? Hell, God actually damned pretty much the whole of humanity once, along with most of the flora and fauna (and that's not even the half of it).
But that's "old" God--wingnuts know that "new" Jesus would never question the wisdom of the marketplace...and his foreknowledge can really net him some great deals, going either long or short.
