Of course, my fellow Democrats across the nation erupted in outrage. I yawned at the fist-pounding rhetoric reminiscent of Nikita Khrushchev pounding his shoe against President Kennedy in the 1960's. Apparently, shoe slapping is a popular anger release in many cultures.
Southern Baptist Pastor Dennis Terry said when he introduced Sen. Santorum: "I don't care what the liberals say, I don't care what the naysayers say, this nation was founded as a Christian nation...There is only one God and his name is Jesus. I'm tired of people telling me that I can't say those words.. Listen to me, If you don't love America, If you don't like the way we do things I have one thing to say - GET OUT. We don't worship Buddha, we don't worship Mohammad, we don't worship Allah, we worship God, we worship God's son Jesus Christ."
Caustic Christians are so far removed from what Jesus Christ taught that I'm immune to their constant propaganda because it sounds like the ravings of a mad man. Think current mad man like former Fox News conservative talk show host, Glenn Beck, who is clearly in need of medication to restore him to a sound mind.
Think of the ravings of the above quote from Dennis Terry. Clearly, he wants to control what Americans think, feel and how we worship. This country was founded upon religious freedom for all, not just Christians. And, no, Mr. Terry, this liberal Louisiana journalist blogger is not leaving. Neither is the rest of the country who knows what you said was erroneous at best and cruelly unacceptable at worst. Get used to your neighbors; we are all different, with different ideas, different religions: one America.
