There is some twit named Barb that posts on a sight called 
http://religionclause.blogspot.com/ who is always up on a high horse 
babbling about how unfair ***every*** case of religious imposition on 
the rest of us is, to her religion, always telling people to move to 
China, if they don't like prayers shoved in their faces, denies *every* 
cases of Christian bigotry, fear mongering, or terror (if she bothers to 
post on articles about those at all), but always has a cherry, "See, 
them evil Muslims are killing poor innocent Christians again!", for 
every other occasion. Here take on this was, as usual, "It can't be what 
these poor Christians from the US intended, but at least they are doing 
something about those evil gays!"

Interestingly, she is literally the lone, and rabid, wolf among the rest 
of the farm animals there (for the most part). Latest whine from her 
was, "How dare a soldier complain about being forced to attend 3 
separate, government sanctioned, sectarian prayers, on returning from 
Iraq!" Sigh... The only good thing about it seems to be that a lot of 
people are getting damn fed up about all of it, and these people seem to 
be completely fracking clueless that the majority of Americans hate what 
they have done to everything from our reputation, to health care reform, 
to just about everything else that actually has value (but not the 
*values* that the wacko idiots think they should have).
