A Taliban by any other name...
In "liberated" Afghanistan, a man faces execution for converting to Christianity.
But things like that
(From KMOV.com)
Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state's official "majority" religion.
House Concurrent Resolution 13 has is pending in the state legislature.
Many Missouri residents had not heard about the bill until Thursday.
Karen Aroesty of the Anti-Defamation League, along with other watch-groups, began a letter writing and email campaign to stop the resolution.
The resolution would recognize "a Christian god," and it would not protect minority religions, but "protect the majority's right to express their religious beliefs.
The resolution also recognizes that, "a greater power exists," and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, "justified recognition."
State representative David Sater of Cassville in southwestern Missouri, sponsored the resolution, but he has refused to talk about it on camera or over the phone.
KMOV also contacted Gov. Matt Blunt's office to see where he stands on the resolution, but he has yet to respond.

Text of the resolution.

On a lighter note, well, he can't be worse than Martin or Harper.

Best exchange (between two commie ARA guys):
A [says something cynical about going to church]
B [who is Catholic]: Hey, I go to church sometimes with my family.
A: Hahaha, yoooou believe in Gawwwd!
B [totally deadpan]: You won't be laughing so much after you die.

The thing is that Carter knew about a lot of evil stuff he did nothing about and didn't expose. He's not different _enough_ from them.
Who am I to take cred away from you?
Here's an example of where I do take cred away:
Michael Moore, for crossing an IWW picket line in Philly back in the '90's to sell his book at Borders. I will never forgive it.
