Be careful in that, because that will mark you as a "dirty smelly hippie commie socialist marxist pinko infiltrator with ingrown toenails and a drug addiction working as a multi-person team of leftt wing agitators", at least according to the hate-FReepmail I've been getting ;0)

Ingrown toenails?
Geez.
I've gotten my share of hate-mail around here too. Who cares. If some nit living in a bunker wants to scroll off some retarded, bran deprived screed at me, let em... :)
You are absolutely right on this one. I'm actually pretty surprised to see so many people who CLAIM to support the Constitution, so willing, because of their own religious biases, to trample on one of the primary tenants of that Constitution.
Freedom of Religion. To be honest, my take on that is ALL Religions should have a viable seat at the table. If we have to suffer the likes of the Muslim equivilent of Jimmy Swaggart crying and whining for Cash on TV or Radio, heck, think of the entertainment value alone. How about a Hindu Tammy Faye Baker (clown make-up and 5 inch fake lashes included)?
The point is, they have just as much right, in this country, to worship, pray, discuss, broadcast, and annoy others, as every other Religion, and that is exactly as it should be.
My favorite post on this was that one person claiming, that even though she has an on/off switch on her radio, she just didn't think it was appropriate for Muslims to discuss their Religion, outside of their own Churches.
I had to laugh at that one. I've been here long enough to know, if ANYONE ever suggested that EXACT same thing for Christians , the thread would go on for weeks, and the poor schmuck who suggested it would be flamed worse than Joan of Arc.
