46. In the name of religious freedom no less.
Tue Apr 7, 2015, 11:18 PM

And they always play the persecution card. "Help! We're being oppressed!!!!!"

It's all rubbish. And the media often goes along with it. "Let's hear first from Tweedle-Dee than from Tweedle-Dum(b)." Gotta be balanced after all. Of course, Tweedle-Dumb often filibusters so Tweedle-Dee gets not much opportunity to say anything.

I wish we still had Christopher Hitchens. He is sadly missed. He cut down many a Tweedle-Dumb.

My best regards to you.
