TraditionalValues.org FAIL

Michelle Malkin and her idiot’s are all over this one as usual. And, almost on cue, MM reader zyzzyg starts crying about Islamic schools:
Religion does not sound like economic stimulus to me.
However, I don’t want to see money going to Saudi Wahabist Madrassa Academies.
Yes, meetings should be held, and if that means Muslim/Islamic Schools are barred from sharing in any monies, then I am all for it.
TraditionalValues.org, a radical Christian organization bent on removing the separation of Church and State, are now attacking the Stimulus plan as being “anti-Christian” due to a certain subsection of the document which states:
No funds awarded under this section may be used for …
(C) modernization, renovation, or repair of facilities—
(i) used for sectarian instruction, religious worship, or a school or department of divinity; or
(ii) in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious mission; or
(D) construction of new facilities.
TraditionalValues.org then goes on a bash spree, stating that:
This new administration and its secularist allies in Congress don’t accept the First Amendment’s protections of religious activity even as they cite the First Amendment to defend all sorts of bizarre and offensive speech and art.
Aaaaactually, the subsection of the bill in question does follow the First Amendment principles of not being involved in religion. If you are a religious institution, then you won’t receive federal funding.
I’m certain that if the text is removed and a religious Madrasah receives funding, TraditionalFailuws would be on the horn about “Islamofacism” and all that noise.
With all the things wrong with the Stimulus Bill ( and there are a lot of things wrong with it ), this has to be one of the biggest non-issues.
If anything, we need more separation throughout our country. Not just one stupid bill that isn’t going to affect us how it should.
I think Obama needs to bring in someone like Paul Krugman or other NOBEL AWARD winning economists to brainstorm.
We need to get Ron Paul on this issue. He’d turn the stimulus plan into a physical building that could house, heal and feed anyone down on their luck.
He’d then punch three infants in the face and still be cooler than anyone ignorant enough to believe that their fundie crap is worth being called “Traditional”.
Billy rage.
Billy SMASH
um, billy, you know Ron Paul is an evolution denier and wackadoo, right?
As recently noted by someone smarter than me: Secularists fly to the moon. Religionists fly airliners into buildings.
There is no separation of church and state in our constitution. nor is it something our FF supported. Christianity was very much a part of the founding of our country.
Maybe if you read the 1st amendment, or the words of Thomas Jefferson ( who was one of the FFs that Fundies like to bring up a lot ), you would see that in NO WAY was America founded on Christian values, and that Jefferson made it very clear that the church needed to stay out of the state’s business.
