It is interesting that the line of defense against the Muslim claim continues to be a factual defense rather than a principled one. It's a rather depressing state of affairs in this country that people actually care one way or the other. And, of course, all of this does cloud the real issues that are even more depressing, global warming, global economic collapse, possible global civilizational collapse, health care, war, etc. etc. etc. Ah well. At least McBush didn't stoop to calling Obama the worst name of all, the one that is reserved for the likes of myself, (work up a good guttural tone, put a look of disgust on your face and say it) atheist. If this is the way people treat their fellow members of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religion (deliberately singular as always), imagine how they feel about atheists like me. Can you imagine an out of the closet atheist getting elected to even the lowest office in the land? You make some really excellent points here.
