Quote of the Day

"I think we should treat [Islam] as [a political system] and treat its adherents as such as we would members of the Communist Party or members of some fascist group."Pat Robertson, cynically using the shootings in Fort Hood as an excuse to engage in his usual brand of hateful, bigoted blame-gaming in which an entire group is scapegoated for the actions of one (or a few, a hurricane, or whatever else he can use to unleash a torrent of his typical mouth-diarrhea).

Being an atheist, I'm more than happy to treat every religion as its own political ideology. Let's start with charging a religious organization the same taxes that, say, a feminist blog gets charged for doing business.

Somehow, I'm guessing P-Rob won't be on board with that idea, once it includes him.
