Louisiana Republican: When I Voted for State Funds to go to Religious Schools, I Didn’t Mean Muslim Ones
In Louisiana, Republican Governor Bobby Jindal pushed for a voucher program that would allow state funds to be used to pay for religious schools. It’s unconstitutional, it’s a way to use taxpayer money to fund someone’s faith, and it was a bad idea to begin with.
But it passed.
Now, one of the state legislators, Rep. Valarie Hodges (R-Watson), just made a shocking discovery, though: Christianity isn’t the only religion!

I Didn’t Mean Muslim Ones!
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Indeed, that daft bitch is going to find herself being a glove puppet for one of the malevolent intelligences, I mean that star isn't even circled! Where's her Dagger? This is exactly the sort of fundamental error you get if you cut back on education in the Occult Arts. I suppose all that shit about the jew on a stick though is a lot cheaper to spout though.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

American fundamentalism is an exclusionary religion. It's also an exclusionary culture. So the tunnel vision that creates made something like this inevitable.
