Our tax dollars at work...

Sunday July 20, 2008

Categories: Religion

A "Mosques in America" calendar published by the State Department, which they are trying to hide now that bloggers have been noticed.

So, I guess separation of church and state only applies to churches? We are now promoting Islam?

"Seems like a natural extension of Faith Based Initiatives, Michele. Especially given the amount of money that the Saudis have pumped into the Presidential Library projects for both Clinton and Bush."

I guess you really don't understand the concept of "Faith based Initiatives" to have said that. You might want to go research it a little more.

Also, I don't think that you get the relationship of the State Department to Bush, it isn't exactly amicable so this isn't a Bush thing.

"But then, conservatives have whining down to an art form."

Bwaahahahahahahahaahaha! Oh.My.Heck! Thank you for the laugh tonight, I needed it. I haven't laughed this hard since yesterday when I watched the lefties try to justify adding to our global warming problems by driving in taxis to hear Al Gore speak instead of using public transportation or bikes.

So you are saying that our President is running the government in the same way he ran the Texas Rangers?

Harry Truman's sign must be in a museum somewhere. Ever since Reagan the conservatives have tried to blame their failures on someone else. Kinda funny for the party of "personal responsiblity" ... for everyone but them.

um... the state department is selling the calendar, not giving it away. this is hardly "promoting islam." it's a bad choice in methods to show that the u.s. government isn't anti-muslim (because it's saying the opposite with other things it does) because with all the hatred for anything non-christian in this country, i really wonder how few they've sold. what a waste. maybe they would have better luck by not racially profiling the group instead.

what's ironic is the most furor is coming from the same crowd who rushes to the front line to save christmas trees and nativity scenes on display at the state buildings. hypocrites.

"I haven't laughed this hard since yesterday when I watched the lefties try to justify adding to our global warming problems by driving in taxis to hear Al Gore speak instead of using public transportation or bikes."

gee, maybe they're like you and can justify just about any reason for not conserving. what makes you think they're liberals? oh, because they don't hate gore to the same extent that you do, they must be "lefties," huh? got some breaking news for you, genius: flat-earthers, young-earthers, and other fundies will continue to deny the problem, but some conservatives care about our planet, too.

"...some conservatives care about our planet, too."

Yep...but it's damn few. Most of them only care about their own pocketbook. Look at what happened when they took over Congress and the White House...deficits as far as the eye can see.

But by god they got their tax cut!
