And a *unt.

Be ye Tea Partier, Republican, or just conservative, we are fortunate to have idiots such as Sohini Baliga (the author of this article) as part of our opposition.
Bingo! In the true meaning of the word. She's a real Northeastern Lib bigot.
FWIW,
I would literally part with a kidney if it meant we could elect an originalist of the Sikh faith.
I doubt many here would oppose such a political scenario.
The islamic world would be quiet as a mosk mouse for a good 8 1/2 years at the very least.
I would imagine Ms. Nikki has that same combative spirit that is a prerequisite in today’s wobbly-arsed world.
Last time I checked, The Sikhs aren’t trying to conquer the world nor does their God tell the adherents to kill innocent children.
Hey obama, taqiyya much?
So much for the right being racist in South Carolina.
Another liberal meme, crushed for the world to see.
Not for the first time, not by a damn sight, I’m proud to be a South Kackalakian.

This would be labeled hate speech if some conservative “journalist” said something similar about one of the PC protected religions.
The Left is showing its fear and bigotry (minorities who aren’t politically correct are evil). I recall the attacks on Clarence Thomas in 1991.
If Nikki Haley were a liberal, attacks like this would be condemned on the front page of every major daily.

Beat me :)
Haley will also endure slander from the Good Old Boys of both parties in Columbia. I am afraid the worst is yet to come for her.
I would not take anyone's professed religion at face valus. Way too many hypocrites out there, ie. Catholics for abortion, Bill 'born again' Clinton, President Zero, whose religious commitment is whatever his inner voices tell him on a given day - Muslim or small 'c' christian, because he's a hypocrite and a liar no matter which it is. And so on.
Yet, I think an unapologetic Sikh would have the proper mind-set for dealing with our Muslim adversaries. The Sikh religion was born in the cauldron of Muslim tyranny and persecution. They honor the saint-warrior concept, one who seeks to conquer no one, but who is willing and able to protect the weak from oppression.
The Kirpan is more than just a symbol of their fighting spirit. Even after vast Hindu armies had been scattered to the wind, the Sikh light infantry provided a measure of protection from the most grievous harm of the Muslim rulers.
Obama on the other hand, changed his name to reflect his foreign birthright, discarding his American name, along with the American cultural heritage, in favor of his father's African Marxism.
There's the money quote. Bigoted Yankee.
And Dila, I'm hearing you. I don't think Christianity has anything to do with race, but it did occur to me that there are probably more white atheists in the USA (as a percent of whites) than there are brown and black atheists. But that's more of a sociological observation, and probably a regional one as well.
Here in upper east TN, where the vast majority of people are Protestants/Evangelicals, I have never run into bigotry of any sort for being a Catholic, though some people may raise their eyebrows over me being a Yankee.
A recovering Yankee.
Yeah, she reads a lot. That's the ticket.
Nothing surprising here. Typical Progressive/Leftist propaganda, paid for by you and I, the taxpayers. Nothing new. If and when we ever regain control of our Federal Goverment again, we must simply DEFUND NPR. PERIOD... REMEMBER this!
not ecumenical?
then you're a bigot
it's finding those minorities conservative enough to attract the white vote
the media wants us to think it's the other way around
as far back as after McGovern in 1972 when southern whites realized the Democrats had abandoned social conservatism they would have and could have elected a true socially conservative minority candidate...no question of that.
and I was there btw...in the center of it.
had Charlie Evers moved a bit more right he could have gotten elected to US Congress...that and cleaned up his act a bit
“But for the people for whom they don’t feel or look right, no amount of name or religion changing will make a difference.”
Oh, painting Southern Christians as racists...shocking!
/s
Sohini, sweetie, this crap was already tried in the primary and...well...she’s the nominee. If you want South Carolina Dems to run on a bet that their own voters are bigger cracker trash than the Republicans, go right ahead, bless your heart.
