I didn't think it was possible, but Dana Perino has gotten even dumber

Freedom of belief doesn't appear to be important to Fox News host Dana Perino, who suggested that if atheists don't like having "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, well, "they don't have to live here."

Massachusetts' highest court is currently hearing a case against the Pledge brought by atheist parents, who feel that due to its religious wording, atheist children "are denied meaningful participation in this patriotic exercise." The case specifically involves the phrase, "under God," which was not actually a part of the original phrasing of the Pledge.

Regarding atheists, Perino said during a live segment, "I'm tired of them." She continued, "I remember working at the Justice Department years ago when I first started right after 9/11 and a lawsuit like this came through, and before the day had finished, the United States Senate and the House of Representatives had both passed resolutions saying that they were for keeping ‘under God’ in the pledge."

1. and how do you feel about tea baggers who want their state to secede from the Union, Dana?

Remember, the pledge is all about "one nation...indivisible..."

3. What a trite old chestnut,

"If you don't like it, move!" Ranks right up there with "I know you are, but what am I?"

I got told to "move to Russia" when I wouldn't support the inimitable St. Ronnie, and again when I opposed Pappy Bush ("Bush was never the head of the CIA!" I was told, when I gave the reason I could never support him!). That was back in the day -- when I could count Republicans among my friends...

P.S. I prefer "ideologically challenged" to "dumb," because her intellectual prowess has never been considerable.

6. I remember when a few years ago on CNN...

Perino was asked about the "Bay of Pigs" and she had no idea what that was.

7. It wasn't the "Bay of Pigs", but the much more well known "Cuban Missile Crisis".

8. What does she have against the WW2-era pledge?

According to the logic I've learned from FOX, that makes her a fifth-columnist Axis-sympathizer!
