In his speech yesterday at the Faith and Freedom Coalitions Road to the Majority conference, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed that the Senates 81-10 vote against his bill to end aid to Pakistan, Egypt and Libya was part of a taxpayer-funded war on Christianity. In the speech, Paul even compared liberal elites here at home to governments that have harsh laws, including the death penalty, against Christians.
There is a war on Christianity, not just from liberal elites here at home, but worldwide. And your government, or more correctly, you are having to pay for it. You are being taxed to send money to countries that are not only intolerant of Christians but openly hostile.

Put it on PPV and use the money for public education, the schools could really use the money.
Religion so poisons one mind, I wish we could get rid of it.
