I love it when talk radio frothers get all upset when people bring their own publicly-broadcast words to the attention of the people who paid for those words to be broadcast… I mean, how unfair can you get? 😉

Michael Savage obviously doesn't know a thing about Islam. Otherwise, he would not have made the kind of remarks he did. And this sort of attitude has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with any particular religious faith tradition. Islam is no better and no worse as far as its practitioners are concerned, than Christianity or Judaism. Anne G

Actually, I have a friend whose father is a Conservative Atheist. He’s the type of person who loves debating the reality of religion with traveling Jehova’s Witnesses to the point of making them run away screaming, all the while muttering about “those goddamn liberals.” It’s quite surreal.

“fun watching religious people and conservatives beat each other up”

“Its fun watching religious people and conservatives beat each other up.”

Yes, the more they fight each other, the less they do to undermine secularism and the church-state separation.

BTW, I have a post stuck in the moderation queue. Don’t know exactly why it ended up in there.

“it’s another thing to take away a man’s millstone and try to put him out of business.”

I think this is more like hanging his millstone around his neck (and throwing him in the mill pond).
