Religious Zealots holding up Defense Appropriations Bill
The latest attempt to destroy the constitution and replace it with the bible comes in the form of an amendment to a defense budget bill which would allow insane fundamentalist christian chaplains to do what military chaplains aren't supposed to do - proslytize.

These are the same scum of the earth garbage flag waving bastards who whine about liberals not supporting our troops. These bastards want the right to force their religion on others or they are not going to provide the money necessary to keep providing our troops with the essentials (deemed by a worthless republican administration) to do their jobs.

Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that radical christian zealots are the number one domestic enemy of our constitution?

This is the Land of the Free, Not the Land of Focus on the Family.

But the zealots in this country way too often get a pass. They aren't blowing themselves up and screaming at TV cameras. Instead, they look all prim and proper while they pursue the whittling away of our constitution on a daily basis. They hate in the name of Jesus Christ and many do so in a tax exempt status. They are free to do so and yet they are ignorant enough to think that doing away with such freedom would be a good thing.

3. Let them hold it up.
Either they're going to have to stop their Jesushad, or their War. Can't have a War without a Defense Department, can't have a Defense Department without Defense Appropriations Bill.

Pick one or their other. Which is more important to you Right-Wing nuts?
