President Obama uses lftar dinner to promote religious freedom | The Capitol Column
During a Ramadan dinner at the White House last night, President Barack Obama condemned the attack on a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin. He said any assault on religious faiths “is an attack on the freedom of all Americans” and has no place in the United States.
President Obama also said at the dinner that no American should ever have to fear worshipping in public.
Just the headline must be causing strokes and militia meetings all over the country. And the President defending someone accused of thought-crimes by a lunatic — appalling.
I do appreciate the writer explaining what McCarthyism was. And the House Republican who says don’t judge all House Republicans — who vote as a monolith — by a few loons. OK. Let’s give them the Senate and the White House, while we’re at it.
Kudos to the commenter who spells out the Iron Rule: Do onto others as you think they would do onto you. (The Golden Rule is for wimps and deadmen.) Perhaps progressives should follow conservatives: git a gun!
