(OKLAHOMA CITY) History is full coincidences and ships that pass in the night.
To whit:
---With the ridiculous grandstanding of a puny,weak-minded ego-centric bible-pounder from Florida who gets a call from the US Defense Secretary urging him to call off his book-BBQ,
---to a president and secretary of state who mess their pants trying to assuage the foreign Muslims to please don't riot, please don't, we have a pesky Constitution that we have to sort of abide by,
---to well-intentioned religious progressives who have been blind-sided by the mushroom-cloud of far right fundamentalism, be it of the blood-soaked Jesus variety or the dishdasha-clad, bearded tribal kind, both descended from the legendary Abraham,
I have to say how disgusting it is to see and hear formerly principled people lowering themselves to the hairsplitting minutiae of Old Testament prophets of the ancient "Holy Land of Palestine and Judea".
Is America is now going to become the new Middle East?
As the calendar would have it, here's an item from the time capsule of American political history that could almost be as valid today as it was 50 years. Click on the link to hear and read candidate John Kennedy's definitive speech on the separation of church and state. Just substitute "Catholic", and "Protestant" with the words "Christian" and "Islam".
