I heard this awhile back and just was thinking on it. From the age of Reagan to that of Bush the Lesser Sikhs were not allowed religious expression in the US military.
The all (Hate) Jesus all the time party endorsed religious persecution of a non-Christian faith all while saying words like “freedom” without allowing it for persons who did not look and believe as they did.
Nothing surprising there, just another example of conservative hypocrisy.

The danger of validating violent racist traitors is that eventually they take over a part of our national discourse. This is the problem with the right wing these days. They have ceded their discourse to those who hate, fear, and would destroy all of us in the quest for some mythical America that never existed. And hell, given our history, forcing it to exist would destroy everything America is.
It isn’t enough for moderates and liberals to try to fix this through laws, law enforcement, or just common decency. Conservatives need to clean up their damn mess. And quickly.
Here is the report if you are interested at all.
Everywhere you turn, the story is about how Democrats are going to lose seats this fall. I don’t know why other than the whole “we are letting idiots are liars be seen as credible” problem. Juan Cole points out why voting out the folks saving our bacon is ridiculous.
When the President was elected and this congress took office, we were losing over half a million jobs a month. Now, we are gaining jobs.
In the past year and a half, they’ve stabilized the banks, the economy, and the major car companies, they passed health care reform that adds thirty million people and cuts the deficit long term while getting rid of the worst abuses of the insurance companies, extended the solvency of Medicare for a decade, we’re drawing down troops in Iraq, we are making progress with green energy, there has not been one successful terrorist attack on American soil, we’ve just signed a nuclear arms reduction treaty and re-examined our use of nuclear weapons and we are making great progress on the global stage. Hell, the DOW is up over 3,000 since we got rid of the bums. Personally, we’re getting a road paved near me that was a disaster, and it is being paid for with stimulus money. We’re gonna put some people to work and have a nice paved road! And Obama and company did it all without getting blowjobs from interns.
And we’re going to reward them by kicking a lot of them out of office. We’re a really stupid country.
