Most well-meaning people here think they can defend the Republic by reinterpreting the original intent to separate church from state. In time, the more scrupulous ones will realize that it's a trap. Those of us who know it already must watch the train wreck in slow motion.
This small but significant example supports my argument: apparently no one has the courage to say that mosques have no business receiving our tax dollars to spend on the death cult. Later, we'll decide that Wiccans and Muslims can't have money. Then there will be a bitter argument over Catholics and Protestants.
And so it will go. Luckily, I think we can handle each one of these arguments as they arise. But in the meantime, Islamic activists are getting my tax dollars and yours so that we can demonstrate our desire to show faith.
In any case, the Republicans and their well-meaning "ministries" are far preferable to the Democrats and the America-firsters. Meanwhile, who has the courage to demand an end to federal mosque support?
